    Fun, trendy restaurant with excellent food and drink. Our server seemed new and perhaps dealing with lots of tables, so we cut him slack, especially since he was very gracious and friendly. We will definitely return soon!

    The six of us had a very enjoyable experience dining at Pacific Del Mar. The service was awesome! Our water glasses were consistently filled and our server was very attentive to our needs. Our meals were served gently/politely and our table was quickly cleared of finished items (appetizers, etc) Everyone enjoyed their food, although my green beans were over-spiced for my liking. The coffee was very delicious. We would definitely eat here at this very classy restaurant!

    The atmosphere, service and food were all wonderful. Casual dining experience. We ate curbside, the weather was perfect but they also have heaters. Service was great! We enjoyed our meal and conversation without feeling rushed or bothered. The food was amazing. I was driving and didn’t to try the wine but the options looks good. Very much looking forward to returning. I came with two friends and it was perfect. This would also be good for a date
