The place has a nice terrace, but we could not enjoy it due to sand storm nearby. The dishes that we ordered did not taste fresh unfortunately, we did not enjoy them at all. We actually ended up with canceling our main courses due to lack of trust after taxing a few appetizers and soups. The only reason experience is 4 stars – the waiter pulled the place off low ratings with her willingness to help around. Will never come back there but point out their best customer service, which we appreciated with generous tip.

It’s really 3.5 stars, but I didn’t have that option. We dined inside and the atmosphere nice. The host (manager?) was a little pretentious at first, but the waitress was wonderful. We sat at a fairly large table for just 2 people, which was nice. One of our bread plates was used and completely filthy, but after pointing that out, our host (which is why I say manager) brought us each a small plate sample of the wood fired shrimp on mashed potatoes to make up for the disgusting plate. The food was well made, but having so much paprika on my lobster tail was a bit of a turn off for me. Admittedly, my husband liked it that way because it was different for him. In the end, they overcharged us $13 and I had to ask for a reprinted check. Our two meals (with tip, no drinks) came to over $180, so I supposed I expected better all the way around. Doubt I’ll return, but it wasn’t awful either.

Customer service is great. Our waitress was very polite and professional. The food (soup, Rockefeller Oysters, and tuna tartar) was disgusting. We canceled our main course and left. Guys, you have to change the oil while cooking or use less moyonesa, not sure, but definitely to update your menu. It was a bad experience.

This is a great seafood restaurant for happy hour. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks with a couple of appetizers. The sea bass ceviche is to die for! And the glazed salmon makes a great light dinner!

Such an enjoyable dinner on the covered patio w/heater in the booth. The food was spectacular; we enjoyed an appetizer of Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Medjool Dates; 1/2 portion for dinner of Chilean Seabass & Shrimp Scampi.

I used to live here in Palm Desert and it’s been 15 years since I’ve been back. Pacifica was my favorite spot and it still is. They’ve always had the best calamari and the twin lobster tails melt in your mouth. On top of the food, the atmosphere is amazing with brilliant desert views from the outdoor patio and the service is top notch (shout out to Roxanne). Can’t wait to come back!

My fiancé and I celebrated my Valentine’s Day there and the food wasn’t bad but I expected much more. We were many couples at tables of 2 but all very tight. the restaurant located in El paseo, lost the quality and exclusivity that characterized it.
