Review:
My girlfriend and I wanted a nice, upscale seafood dinner and visited Cafe Pacifica after reading some of the reviews. We did not know what to expect as it is located in Old Town (not a seafood hotbed), but were pleasently surprised to say the least. It is definitely a very upscale and refined restaurant, and the prices were considerably less anything comparable along the water. This was one of the best dinners we've ever had.
The well known margaritas were great. They had a great wine list, although we couldn't utilize it. The special soup, a spicy chowder with shrimp and beans, was terrific and a can't miss. The fish were perfectly prepared, and the sauces and spices were tasty but not overbearing (and I don't usually like much on my fish).
My girlfriend was able to order a chef's favorite that wasn't even on the menu. The creme brule and strawberries and chocolate desserts were very good, and the dessert selections were plenty. I have read reviews about mediocre service, but this definitely was not the case. My water was always full, the staff was very friendly, and the servers even came by several times to clean up bread crumbs from the table. Food was delivered promptly.
In summary, dining at this restaurant will not be a disappointment. It is not nearly as crazy as the seafood places by the water, the food is wonderful, and the service is great.
