I used to love Pacific Catch for their great salads with ahi and edamame and black rice, etc. tonight I was told they don’t serve them anymore :(
The food they serve is OK, with portions that seem too big or too small. It’s a great disappointment.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The food was prepared excellently and served promptly. Kudos to our server Everardo. His entree recommendations were spot on and service was very friendly, attentive and on point. We also liked the restaurant decor, ambience and location very much. Overall, we had a great experience and will not hesitate to dine there again.

The restaurant is obviously short staffed. We weren’t in any hurry but service was slow. Food and drinks were good.

We were seated in a back room with a huge family 8’adukts at one table 10 kids at another. the noise level was painful . We asked to be moved but then our new waitress was impacted . Slow slow slow service to place order but then the food came quickly . It’s not the restaurants fault that we were seated next to 18 noisy people or that the kids thought it was fun to fall off their chairs but it certainly wasn’t a pleasant evening out for us .

Loved the salmon bowl. Very fresh ingredients. Delicious. Small size was perfect amount of food. Only feedback would be more veggies, less rice. My friend had the fish & chips & enjoyed also.
