Pacifica Del Mar in Del Mar

We hosted a dinner meeting in the private dining room at Pacifica Del Mar for 32 people. The room was perfect, and the staff were extremely attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had Ahi Tuna for dinner, and it was a large portion of perfectly prepared Ahi on a bed of deliciously seasoned rice. Because we were hosting the meeting, I had arrived early, so I went out on their patio and watched an incredible sunset. I think I will bring my wife back for the weekend to just enjoy the beach and a dinner at Pacifica Del Mar!

Very lovely patio, with view and fine dining in beautiful Del Mar. Mussels are our favorite in here, well done! The salmon, tuna was also very delicious. I think for a fine dining place chairs were cheap and there was no appropriate shades for a very sunny afternoon .We paid a very good price for 2 dinners and appetizers and wine however I was shocked to see they charged $2 for 2 tiny small slice of ordinary bread we asked extra for mussels’ delicious sauce. For such an expensive dinner they should not make penny counting, this seemed very odd compared to some other high end places we visit regularly in Del Mar and La Jolla.

This iconic seafood restaurant in San Diego has been delighting diners for decades with its consistently delicious dishes and captivating sunset views. The delectable seafood offerings are a testament to their commitment to quality, making it a must-visit for seafood enthusiasts. The charming ambiance and breathtaking sunset backdrop create a memorable dining experience that keeps patrons coming back time and again.Service and people are always friendly there.

We visited Pacifica Del Mar for a business dinner and we had an outdoor table on the terrace. Amazing view over the ocean, great service, outstanding food, will definitely visit again!

We originally were sat inside even though I requested a table outside in our reservation. I looked around outside and it was very busy but I could see one table available. I went to the hostess and asked politely to be moved outside and that we would happily wait if need be. They checked on a couple things and accommodated us right away. The atmosphere was much better outside. The view and weather were perfect, especially since we were postioned right behind some acrylic glass to block the wind. My partner and I shared the Hamachi crudo and crab cakes as appetizers and then the branzino and mashed potatoes as our entree. Our appetizers were better than the entree. Everything tasted good, however, it was all a little boring. I could be biased after working in fine dining for years, including fine dining seafood in Santa Monica. We ordered the bon bon, and the mocha semifredo for dessert. The semifredo was delicious and I understand why theres so many pictures and reviews about it.Finally, our server was far from attentive. We were constantly trying to order more food and drinks. He didnt check on us enough or even pass by for us to grab him and ask. One of the items we did order he forgot and tried blaming the kitchen. Its obvious to a former server you forgot - just own up to it and apologize and get it comped off the bill upon fixing your mistake. I mean, it was an order of $3 bread for crying out loud. Unfortunately, we never got his name because he never introduced himself. Overall, Im rating this place higher due to how polite the hostess and manager was at the beginning. I was bummed by the execution of dishes but I could tell everything was fresh and of good quality. Im not sure I would return if I was back in town but if I did I may stick to appetizers and raw bar selections. And I would definitely get the semifredo again.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant in all areas: Staff, Service, and Cuisine. Bonus points for an exceptional ocean view. One of the managers Joe was specifically very helpful during our late lunch. We enjoyed so many menu items during our visit. Ambiance was relaxed but still upscale. Restaurant has easy access to a parking garage and is located on the main street through Del Mar so it’s easy to get to. Lovely place and we will definitely be back.

Not sure what happened to this place. Have been here many times over the years and always great. Hadnt been in a while and had lunch there this week. When we got there, only 2 tables occupied inside and only one on the patio. That was weird as in the past, it was always crowded and you normally had to wait to be seated. Waiter arrives pretty quickly but it took a while to get our drinks - Not sure why as no one was there. Really didnt get much attention throughout the meal. Mine was nothing special. My mom ordered the cioppino and it wasnt even lukewarm and she didnt get a spoon to eat it with. Anyway, weve been here many times over the past 20 years, but probably wont go back as it seems its not what it used to be.

Really recommend Cioppino. The sea food tastes very fresh. Fried calamari is also good too. But Futtuccine Pasta tastes weird for me. Overall, the food here is still worth the price.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Such a nice ambiance and beautiful ocean view. They have a great drink selection, the menu is small but nicely curated. Not sure there was many vegetarian options unfortunately. I got the sea bass and it was delicious, probably the best fish I’ve ever had, it was so flavorful and tender. The waitress was amazing, she was so nice and helpful. We got a lemon tart for dessert and it was delicious. It was pretty expensive but worth it.
