    Double garlic garlic bread, reheated
    Mike C.

    Man, what a find and treat for any pasta lover. Coming to the market late, I rushed around to fill my shopping list. The market gets progressively busy after 11 am as locals and tourists awaken from their non-work day sleep. While storming down the south driveway, I noticed this new stand. Since there was a line, I just clicked a couple of photos and finished my tasks. Later that night, I sat down and read the menu board. As soon as I read it, I made a point to visit their stand the following week. Saddened that they did not have the lasagna on the menu board that week, I picked up a box of fusilli (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IrOMHU-PpQp_FdQGF2gTDA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and tomato sciue-sciue sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=liRAA-yrlREGgC3MtxkCIg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Following their detailed instructions, I cooked half of the bag of fusilli and heated the sauce to make this () and, boy, was it delicious. It actually made bowls of what was pictured here. The following week, I saw two items that caught my eye. I started with the salsa vongole (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fyHGGvfPTaq98fKqZsY2Kg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Having some fettucine at home, I cooked a third of a bag and mixed it with this sauce. Let's just say that I made two restaurant quality bowls of fettuccine with a white clam sauce within fifteen minutes. There were plenty of chopped clam pieces as well as three or four cooked in-shell clams. I will get this again when available. A few days later, I prepared the roasted chicken marsala (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nLBc1IVHEYB1MjD-KBDfhw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) which came with bucatini (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=q0KsLSqfgfbVVr1yHz8JlA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); the portion easily feeds three to four people. I cooked half for lunch, following the instructions on their packaging. Again, I was eating my lunch in less than forty minutes with the oven heated chicken taking most of the prep time. The boneless chicken pieces were tender and moist, smothered with a variety of mushrooms. I only cooked half of the bucatini and apportioned half of the chicken and mushrooms for my lunch. I finished most of it, saving a small bowl for smother partial meal. I used the other half of my fusilli to pair with the porcini sugo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5qDELROYFUCJyw3DNc6uYA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). The sauce flavors were more earthy than bright. My lean on my next purchase would be the tomato scieu-scieu sauce. A few Saturdays, I looked forward to study their menu board and try something new but they were not at the Ferry farmer's market. The past Saturday, they were there and you knew I wasn't going home empty handed. Looking forward to eat my way through their menu. Here are the latest of what I bought the past week (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Xp0YIq7jiwLEdwBwBSiQSA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=W9dcm0DHcsSwpEucISUMVg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=79ERh3m5TMdPa19Skov3eA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Think I'm a fan?!

    Every time I come here for dinner, I truly enjoy the food. The pastas, steaks, and calamari are…read morealways delicious. My favorite dish, however, is the arugula salad with avocado and beets. This is not a complaint, just a friendly observation. I've noticed that each time I visit, the salad seems to have a little less arugula than before. Other than that, everything is excellent. I'd also like to compliment our server, Cartera, for providing outstanding service. And, of course, the tiramisu cheesecake is absolutely delicious.

    As a teenager in Southern California I used to listen to a radio show with Elmer Dills, "The Dining…read moreDoctor". Mr. Dills always said that the first thing he did when entering a restaurant was use the restroom. If it was a mess he'd leave; the state of the bathroom, he argued, accurately reflected the state of the kitchen. Elmer Dills would have walked out of The Cheesecake Factory. On the evening of my visit, which began on a Friday around 5:40 p.m., I entered the women's restroom to what can only be described as an enormous mess. Trash receptacles were overflowing and each restroom had toilet paper and paper towels strewn all over the floors. If I wasn't meeting a friend here - who'd suggested the place - I'd have left. When I emerged I wanted to alert someone to the state of things. Not only was there nobody manning a host/hostess station, but there was nobody to greet guests or seat guests. When my friend arrived, we made our way into the bar area and as we did, I flagged down a server to tell him of the status of the women's restroom. At our table, we had to again flag down someone to take our order. A different person subsequently became our server and things were smoother from there on. Before leaving though, I again used the women's restroom only to find that it was still an utter mess. The food and drinks that arrived at my table were fine but the service levels and restroom cleanliness here render that observation moot. I recognize that The Cheesecake Factory is no longer in its heyday but based on this visit I'd surmise that they're close to expiration.

In that sense, it's a good clutch market for those items. The store itself is small but laid out well. I really like the produce that they have outside, it gives small town vibes. Where Nugget lacks is in customer service. I have yet to meet a friendly or happy looking employee. I feel like this is something I've noticed more lately. On my trip today, the man stocking the produce had his cart in the middle of the produce section, so there was really no way to get anything. I asked him if I could slip in and quickly grab a few things, and he made a really off putting comment about if I could see he was working, etc. Yikes. I've also been rung up before where the cashier just is on auto pilot, no hello, no small chit chat. Nugget, you carry things we like, and you're close to our home. Can you please give your employees some customer service training, or some reasons to feel joyful? TIA!

Our waiter was rude and didn't seem to know much about the menu or the dishes. The prices were extremely high, and for a party of five, our bill came to over $400--almost $500. To make matters worse, the food did not justify the price. The salmon was undercooked, the portions were incredibly small, and the overall quality was disappointing. We actually had to go somewhere else to eat afterward because we were still hungry. Overall, this was a terrible dining experience. We will never come back, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Hopefully, none of us gets sick after eating there.

It's long, about a foot, and was steaming hot and crispy with great flavors. I like how it was garnished with fresh arugula.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst café experiences I've had. From the moment I arrived, the service felt off. I was greeted, but also noticeably stared at in a way that felt judgmental and unwelcoming--never a great first impression in a hospitality setting. Their Wi-Fi was down, and the area has very poor cell service, which essentially made it impossible to work. While outages happen, there was no acknowledgment or apology, and it's a major issue for a café that appears to position itself as a place to sit and work. Ordering was another problem. I asked for a matcha latte, and no follow-up questions were asked--no hot or iced, no milk preference. I had to track the barista down myself to clarify. The drink itself was honestly terrible: extremely bitter, grassy, and undrinkable. I left most of it untouched. At nearly $10, it was also the most expensive (and worst) matcha I've ever had. The biggest issue, however, was how payment was handled. Their POS system was down, and I was asked to pay in cash. I didn't have cash, which is normal in 2026. Instead of apologizing or offering a solution, I was bluntly told to "sit down" and wait--despite explaining that I had a scheduled meeting and needed to leave. At one point, I was told the only way I could leave was by handing over my credit card information to be written down and kept behind the counter. That is completely inappropriate and unsecured, and I refused. The situation became uncomfortable enough that other customers visibly noticed, and at least one couple left because of how rudely staff were speaking to guests. Eventually, I had to call a friend to bring cash just to resolve a $10 charge, which still took unnecessary time due to confusion between staff. I fully understand that small businesses have bad days. Systems go down. Things happen. But hospitality is about how you handle those moments. There was no apology, no accommodation, and no respect for customers' time or boundaries. I hate leaving negative reviews for local businesses, but I cannot recommend this place in good faith--especially when there are nearby cafés that offer good service, functional systems, Wi-Fi, and basic courtesy.

I ordered the fish and chips, with a green salad instead of fries (aka chips), and a gin and tonic. The meal was perfect. The salad was fresh, lightly dressed. The fish was flaky, the batter crispy, the ratio of batter to fish perfect. In addition to fresh tartar sauce they bring out malt vinegar. The coleslaw was tangy and tasty. My only disappointment in the meal was the g-and-t. I expect tonic to be carbonated, and there was zero effervescence in my drink. I didn't send it back, so that's on me. A person at the table across from me ordered the taco trio and those looked scrumptious. Maybe next time... I would definitely go back, and just be more assertive about my cocktail. Very good food.

    This was one of the most upsetting customer service experiences I have ever had…read more I made a reservation for outdoor seating because I was dining with my mother, who uses a wheelchair, and my 8-year-old child. When we arrived, we were suddenly told that the outdoor tables were "not wheelchair accessible," despite the fact that I had specifically reserved an outdoor table. As I write this review, an outdoor table for four has remained empty directly in front of us for the entire time. We were still refused that table. When I questioned why our reservation could not be honored, the manager, Adriana, responded, "Go ahead and give us a bad review." I found that response dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in empathy. My family and I are Brown, and the way we were treated left me with serious concerns that we were not treated the same as other guests. I cannot know the reason with certainty, but the combination of refusing to honor our outdoor reservation, claiming the outdoor tables were suddenly "not wheelchair accessible," leaving an outdoor table vacant throughout our visit, and the manager's response left me feeling humiliated and unwelcome. I hope Pacific Catch reviews the reservation records, available security footage, and the actions of its staff so that no other family has a similar experience. This review reflects my personal experience and observations.
