    We had a lovely experience at Pacific Catch! We were sat down immediately and service was so fast (we were done with everything in around 25 minutes). Our waitress was very nice. We were there during happy hour so we were able to save on our favorite appetizer (the guaca-poke). We also split a house salad and each had an order of the sushi taco trio. Everything was delicious. Would highly recommend!

    Several of us ordered Prime Rib and were impressed with the variety of sides to choose from. Prime rib is only cooked rare but you can ask them to heat it closer to med rare. Another ordered the beef ribs and was happy with it as the meat was so tender. We just happened to have reservations on the night the Holiday Train showed up so traffic was everywhere and we had to park close to El Camino but it made for a festive evening. The doors in the restaurant opens up to the platform so expect some blaring train horns during your dinner.
