   Pacific Catch offers a great dining experience with fresh seafood and excellent service. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful, the miso cod was perfectly cooked with a rich, savory glaze, and the fish tacos had a great balance of texture and taste. The old fashioned was well-made, adding to the enjoyable meal. Our server, Victor, was attentive and friendly, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. Overall, a solid spot for seafood lovers—just shy of five stars, but definitely worth a visit!

   I went to dine with my girlfriend on Valentine's day, mind you we are both 16. I've had the same experience before, but it tends to happen at certain places where we get a minute or two to look at the menu before we're being asked what we want to order to eat. Our appetizers came out relatively fast, and they were good, I am not trying to criticize the food, but when we were halfway done with our appetizer her food came out. Our entrees did not even come out at the same time. A few minutes later mine did, and at that point i wanted to take my time to talk and have a good evening, and we tried to prolong our meals a bit. It feels as if I get rushed often, almost as if people my age were not allowed to dine in restaurants and were being rushed out. It definitely gets to a point. Otherwise the food is excellent and I would recommend it to people my age that either don't bother eating a rapidly brought out meal or anyone else looking for good seafood.

   The calamari was a flavorful, hot and crunchy. The black cod was cooked perfectly and came with generous portion of furikake rice and tasty green beans. The espresso martini was smooth and just right. The inside dining room is roomy and bright, but the seating is a little worn out.

   The restaurant was not busy. Took 20 minutes to get our food. And it was lunch! One person ordered sushi and her chopsticks arrived 5 minutes after getting her food

    Our food was great and our server was great! However we had a weird experience before being seated. I told the hostess that we had a reservation. First, she could not find it. Then, she said she found it but that she'd seated the other member of the group and told me to walk around and find them. (?) No one from our group had been seated so I came back to her and then she told me there wasn't a table available. I asked about how that worked when I had a reservation, and she told me they had lots of reservations. She ended up seating us at a tiny table. However, when my friend went to the restroom, she noticed that there were many other regular-sized tables available. So she asked a server to move us, who did. I'm not sure what the point is of making a reservation if the host/hostess doesn't hold the table for you.
