This was the first time I attended Pacific Coast Grill and it was amazing!! I had the halibut with shrimp scampi. The halibut was perfectly cooked and went so well with the scampi and risotto. The atmosphere got a bit loud as the restaurant filled up, but the food definitely overpowered any distractions.
