Café Pacific

Omg I am in love again! Yeah, I know I say this all the time lol. This is such an amazing restaurant. As soon as you walk in, you can absorb the bougieness and it's quite divine. The waiter was very personable and informative about the menu and specials. Cafe Pacific gives me a Capitol Grill vibe but with a better twist! The food was outstanding. Every bite kept me listing for more & more. The drink pours are also generous & that matters when you are a drink connoisseur like myself. This restaurant is #BarbieApproved

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day experience at Cafe Pacific! This was our first visit and open to visiting again. It's a smaller establishment, so reservations are highly recommended! The service was very solid. Attentive enough, but gave us space also. The ambiance is cozy, but nice and romantic. The food was good, very fresh, and presented very well. We tried the spinach dip, tortilla soup, herb crusted sea bass, and red snapper. The sea bass and red snapper were both very tasty. The spinach dip and tortilla soup were just ok. I had very minor issues with some aspects i.e my baked potato was a bit undercooked, so it wasn't soft & fluffy as a baked potato should be.Overall, we would definitely give Cafe Pacific another try.

...Every last family occasion? Right here. We made a reservation via OpenTable. If running early, the bar has got you for some sweet potato sticks, cocktail, tea or cappuccino. The venue has been a mainstay in the HP area for a minute. It has its regulars. Fine dining that's the next level experience. Maître d' and servers are personable and warm. Venue is intimate. There's a movie theater and designer stores within the plaza- for a pre-post meal promenade/adventure. Valet available and works for tips. Enjoy!

I took my king to a fine dining place we have not tried before: Café Pacific. It is small inside, so booking reservations was the right move for us. Upon entering, we were seated to the left in a more closed off, intimate area which was nice considering we were for a birthday dinner.The bread and butter came, and it was really good but perhaps not quite as good as other competitors (i.e. Ocean Prime). We ordered some drinks (Old Fashioned and Paper Plane), and both were very strong yet simple and tasty. Next was the appetizer: spinach and artichoke dip. As someone who is not the biggest artichoke fan, let me say that this was amazing!!! The artichokes were diced very well, which is normally an issue when eating this. Not this time, though! It is perfect for sharing. You may need more of the bread-like crisps that come with it though as the portion size is not small.I ordered the Asian Chilean sea bass, while he got the salmon. I did not try his salmon, but he did try my sea bass which we both agreed was nothing short of incredible! The fish itself was cooked perfectly, and the crispiness on the outside of it was absolutely divine. The soy sauce was not too salty, and the spinach soaked it up which elevated the whole dish. I also thought the jasmine rice was great and cooked perfectly. This is one of the higher-priced seafood dishes but for good reason! Also, the asparagus fritti, which was fried with grated parmesan, was wonderful with a great creamy garlic butter sauce of some sort! On the other hand, my boyfriend was not as impressed with his salmon dish. He said it was simply grilled and was tasty but could have used more flavor (perhaps a sauce or something to help elevate the smoked salmon flavor). I don't think he will order that again.I ordered another drink (Vesper), but unfortunately I did not like it at all. With a combination of gin, vodka, and wine, it tasted like Dawn dish soap. That is not an exaggeration. I didn't send it back because I don't like to do that, so I drank it and kept quiet.For dessert, they gave us their signature dessert with ice cream, nuts, house-made chocolate sauce, and some kind of caramel-almond crisp. It was different yet delicious! It reminded me a lot of fried ice cream which I haven't had in a very long time.Overall, I do feel that for a little over $200 for everything, the food was great but not quite $200 worthy (maybe more like $140). Would I come back? Well, there are a lot of fine-dining competitors where I know I'm going to get exactly what I want and will easily pay for it. Café Pacific just needs a bit more flavor with their food. I would return but not for a long time.

Always good. Been going since college in the late 80s. The fish is always fresh. The lump crabcake cocktail is abundant and great w tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. Steaks are good but the fish even better. Waitstaff and hostess always top-notch. Great atmosphere. Feels like a NYC/SOHO restaurant (think Balthazar)

What other place can I say that we have patronized for over 30 years and never been disappointed. Try the sea bass with triple crust. Fabulous wine list. Bar is top notch for top notch folks. Don't be too surprised who you will see grabbing a drink in this small intimate bar of some 10 stools and only 2 bar tables. Reservations are recommended, but dress up some and drop into the bar. Asia salad is a favorite for a lite meal. Enjoy.

I came here for a birthday dinner. The staff was super friendly and was very attentive and answered all of our questions on their very large menu selection. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table. It was very tasty. For my entree, I ordered salmon that came with sautéed spinach and truffle fries. It was all very good and nice portion sizes. We also shared a dessert, which was the Pecan ball. It was basically ice cream, dipped in chocolate, rolled in pecans. Even though it was a simple dessert, it was tasty. My only complaint was that you could tell that this restaurant has been around for years, since 1980. The seating is very close together. It was very challenging to get in and out of our seats without hitting the seats behind us. Thankfully, everyone was very friendly and didn't seem to mind the tightness. They also offer complimentary valet parking and if you choose to self park, the parking lot is just a few yards away and there is decent parking, but it is in a shopping center with other businesses so I would definitely recommend taking advantage of the valet parking. This is definitely a nice restaurant to go to for a special occasion or if you want to treat yourself.

Helped a friend celebrate her birthday here. I arrived a bit late and the hostesses had a difficult time locating my party by name. Thankfully, the restaurant is small and I was able to find them. Our server Walter was very entertaining and helped to make the night memorable. I ordered a lemon drop and a redfish dish that didn't look like much but was really flavorful! Crab Louie salad was ordered for the table and it too didn't look like much but blessed my tastebuds! The staff were friendly, drinks strong and food delicious and I highly recommend giving them a try.

I don't think it's socially acceptable to write a short story or novel on this. Annalise was the best server I think I have had while dining out. Was referred to the restaurant by a client while here on business. The food was phenomenal. You need to get the pepper steak. The sauce, incredible. There isn't one negative thing about this restaurant. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was fantastic. Scallops were large and seared to perfection, lobster risotto was delicious and a huge portion and the NY strip was melt in your mouth. Service was impeccable
