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!
