Cafe Pacifica - Old Town - Restaurant Review
Housed in a small cottage in historic Old Town, Café Pacifica offers a welcome taste of elegance, sophistication, and delicate creativity. The fresh, contemporary menu features a dazzling array of fish and shellfish, which Chef Eddie Zamarripa prepares in his exquisitely innovative style as well as “simply grilled.” A modest selection of chicken, steak and vegetarian options are offered, as are daily specials showcasing seasonally available, and often exceptional, fish. The noticeably cultured wine list, prepared by Owner Frank Busic, offers wines by the glass, half bottle, and bottle, while the Pomerita—the restaurant’s signature twist on the traditional margarita—garners national attention.
