We dine at Jake’s often, so decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary here for lunch. The fish special was tasty, and the fish and chips the best I’ve had at Jake’s. The staff welcomed us to a table reserved for especially for us and our anniversary. We enjoyed the booth and sea views while sipping sangria. We were given free choice of a dessert on the house, so we picked the Hula pie of course! Thank you Jake’s for making our day special.

We always have lunch at Pacifica Del Mar on New Year's Day. Has been our tradition for 25 years and there is no better way to start the new year. Beautiful ocean view, impeccable service, great menu selections, piping hot delicious food, wow factor cocktails...it all adds up to an amazing experience. Highly recommend. Try the prawn cocktail, mixed greens salad, sugar-spiced salmon, and burnt cream. Grapefruit martini was fire!

The service from Sasha was excellent and appreciated! The guacamole is outstanding. We also loved the unique flavor in the Oaxacan Mole dish and chicken enchiladas. We were lucky to get one of the fireplace tables as well. We will be back!
