Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pacifica Seafood Restaurant in Palm Desert dazzles with "excellent food" and "great service" in a lovely setting. Guests rave about the perfectly cooked sea bass, scallops, and salmon, and enjoy the "quiet and cozy" atmosphere inside or the enchanting views outside. The rooftop terrace and "attentive" staff make it a must-visit.

    Great speedy service. Great bar and Manhattan. Loved the oysters, clam chowder, ahi and sea bass. Our awesome waiter Jonatha said he liked the salmon and seabass. I never would have tried the seabass without his feedback. Ginger rice and green curry sauce were the awesome spice for the seabass. 1/2 portion was plenty for my elderly appetite.

    Superb!! Super wedge salad, great bread, and love the sea bass. Outdoor seating with heaters what the best ambiance. Wish the bacon dates were larger, they were much smaller than normal. Otherwise perfect.

    They did not offer any options for a food allergy other than plain boring grilled fish. They did not flavor it at all. Typical of many American restaurants. Lazy.

    We had the bacon wrapped dates, sweet potato soup, pacifica salad, and seared sea bass. All were excellent-the soup was exceptionally delicious. We dined outside with a heater overlooking El Paseo street. Very quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

    A group of friends decided to go out to dinner. We booked Pacifica because they are pretty consistent. There were 6 of us and they sat us outside (which was fine). The tables are on the smaller side and they were so close together we did not have room to move - kinda felt like sardines in a can. The waiter was friendly - he got one persons order wrong and my friend - being polite - just ate what they brought her. We did have to flag our waiter down for silverware and drinks a couple times. It was so noisy you could not carry on a conversation.. if the patio wasn’t packed with so many tables it would help with the noise level. Ambiance is such an important part of dining. The food was delicious.

    Thank you for your review Trisha! I apologize for us getting your order wrong. While this should not have happened in the first place, your experience as our guest is of the utmost importance to us so we are always more than willing to fix any mistake we have made. We appreciate hearing your feedback!
