What Guests Are Saying
Food during the happy hour is great and reasonably priced! I got the ribs, spicy salmon roll, and ceviche which I would definitely get again during happy hour. The restaurant ambience is also quaint and good for talking too. I also came for dinner a separate time, however, the food wasn't too good. I liked the calamari and clam appetizer. I heard the popcorn shrimp was good too but I'm allergic. The tuna poke was very disappointing though; no flavor and mostly just fish, seaweed, lettuce, and ginger. Large portion sizes though.
Excellent experience! The food and service were amazing. A special thank you to Ian for going above and beyond. My drink was a bit too sweet for my taste, and he thoughtfully found a sour juice to add, which balanced it perfectly. His attention to detail and willingness to customize my drink made the experience even better. Outstanding customer service—I truly appreciated it and will definitely be back!
Pacific Catch in Santa Monica was a really solid experience from start to finish. The food came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I ordered the Surf & Turf with grilled lobster tail, skirt steak, asparagus, mashed potatoes, chimichurri, and Hawaiian rolls. The steak was tender and the lobster had a nice buttery flavor without being too heavy. The Lobster Roll was another favorite. The lobster tasted fresh and the griddled Hawaiian rolls added the perfect touch of sweetness. The sesame slaw balanced everything nicely. We also shared the Pupu Platter which included coconut shrimp, sticky ribs, sea bass skewers, guaca-poke, and tortilla chips. Great option if you want to sample a few different appetizers. The sticky ribs and coconut shrimp were especially good. For drinks, I had the Cloudline Pinot Noir and the Niña Colada. Both paired really well with the meal. The Niña Colada was refreshing and tropical without being overly sweet. Dessert was the Chocolate Lava Cake with vanilla gelato and berries, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was friendly, and the overall experience was great. Definitely a spot I’d come back to in Santa Monica.
