We love people that anticipate their customer's needs ahead of time! Then they were like, "We are going to sweep the floors, don't worry you can stay." Which I thought was really thoughtful of them to want us to not feel rushed. We were there a little before closing. They also checked in twice to see if we were okay. Honestly didn't expect this kind of thoughtfulness from a fast food place. The staff needs to get promoted to some fine dining restaurants or something. lol Food: Ceviche 3/5: It was a little fishy for my taste and the tortilla was healthy and wheat-y. I didn't think the flavors together were very good. Should have definitely got the fish and chips, or the fried stuff. I will come back next time to try.

I came across the Terrace, located near the university, which featured a lovely patio and scenic views overlooking the golf course. When we arrived around two in the afternoon, the restaurant was nearly empty. The interior was stylish, but I preferred sitting outside to enjoy the view. A large group of golfers was having lunch nearby. Since it wasn't crowded, our server easily arranged a table for seven. One downside was a man who continued to smoke on the patio despite being told it wasn't allowed, though fortunately, he didn't smoke the entire time. My man and I shared a Mexican Mango Mule, which was especially refreshing after the lengthy ceremony. We sampled several dishes--calamari, chicken wings and fries, beef tacos, and chicken tacos--in order of preference, from most favorite to least (though none were bad, just varying in appeal). The kids enjoyed a bowl of Bolognese and seemed satisfied. To top it off, the staff surprised me with a complimentary brownie and ice cream to celebrate my graduation. The service was excellent, the venue was perfect for lunch, and the food was delicious!

The 5-star friendly, professional, and attentive-yet-unrushed service from Cassandra and (on our return visit) bartender, Drew certainly added to making our experiences very enjoyable. Fun-and-fabulous find!

Inside is spacious. Loved the Aqua colored glass chandelier. They have a great cocktail menu! I wish I had time to enjoy a drink because they looked good when I saw a waiter delivering drinks to other tables. Our server, Abbie, was gracious and friendly. She was attentive to us and to all her other tables. Never skipped a beat on what part of the meal her customers were at (ordering, mid-meal, refills, dessert, paying, etc.) We ordered: A bowl of clam chowder - creamy and flavorful. Good amount of clams. A side salad - my hubby and I couldn't agree on dressing so Abbie brought both for us on the side. 3-piece fish and chips - crispy fish batter, not too thick. It's mahi-mahi so it's meatier than the typical cod. Fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Doused all of this goodness with their malt vinegar. We recommended this place to the other water polo families. Hopefully they stopped by too. I will definitely return! Thank you.

We got the lobster mac & cheese, fish & chips, and 4oz lobster roll. The Mac & Cheese was good, but I didn't like the choice of the noodle. The pasta was a bit undercooked, but the lobster was good.

The lobster roll was def the high light! The ambiance was nice! Def a cute date spot for couple to go on a night out. Service was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant was.

The food is consistently delicious -- from the perfectly grilled salmon to the crispy shrimp tacos -- and the sides are honestly some of the best you'll find at a fast‑casual place. The zucchini and Brussels sprouts always hit. But what really made my last visit stand out was Yani. She brought so much warmth and energy to the experience. She was patient, helpful with recommendations, and made sure everything came out just right. It's rare to find someone who genuinely elevates the whole vibe of a restaurant, but she absolutely does. If you're craving fresh seafood with great service, California Fish Grill is always a solid choice -- and if you're lucky enough to have Yani take care of you, even better.

This was my first time going into an actual store, and the vibe is there. It's clean and inviting, there is patio seating available as well. They've had stubborn soda as an option, which is delicious, especially the black cherry. I do however appreciate that I was able to satisfy my Pepsi craving :) When I walked in, I was promptly greeted and told my food was ready towards the back. I used the restroom and came out to grab my food, lesson learned let them grab your stuff. I requested napkins, and didn't get them, which was unfortunate cause one of the boxes was leaking, and got all over, everything . But other than that the woman (possibly manager) was very helpful, and the food was delicious

Pacific Catch did not disappoint!…read more We landed one of the coveted outdoor dining tables for lunch, and the whole afternoon had the perfect Aloha Friday vibe. We started with a pitcher of Mai Tais, which were definitely a little boozy in the best way -- and somehow lasted the entire length of our casual two-hour lunch. Our server, Erin, was extraordinary. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. My table guest and I split everything, which was the perfect call. The guaca-poke was so yummy and a great start. Then we shared the two-taco platter with sea bass and steak, plus a side house salad. Full flavor, fresh, and the perfect size to split without feeling too heavy. And because we clearly make excellent lunch decisions, we finished with a one of a kind dulce leche spring roll . Worth it. Will I come back? Yup. Pacific Catch continues to be a solid go-to.

Totally agree with Gene H's review on the recent menu changes. I am a regular here and called it my…read morehappy place, but the recent menu changes have me looking for another happy place. Like Gene, the serrano ahi poke bowl with wontons was the "go to" for every visit. Another fan favorite was the guac-poke with wontons. Well, wontons were removed from the menu altogether, and the serving size of the ahi is half of what it used to be. Not sure if this was a local decision or corporate decision, but it was a bad one! Second faux pas on the new menu is the removal of black beans with the taco plate. Now your options are fries or a salad. Who orders fries or salad with tacos? Black beans are so cheap. Even if you charge $1 for them, you're making money. Doesn't make sense to remove them. Oh, and the 3 taco plate is no longer an option. You can only get 2 tacos now. Third questionable decision ... eliminating the miso salad. The bartender told me that the house salad on the menu is the same as the miso salad. They mean the same thing. When the runner delivered what I thought was the miso salad, it looked different. So I asked her if this was the miso salad. She said no, that is no longer on the menu. So .... ya. Another big change for me was the removal of my favorite wine, the chenin blanc. The other whites are subpar IMO and not worth the drive over there ... especially with all these really poor menu changes. So now you know why I'm looking for a new happy place. If you know of any open air, fresh fish places, please DM me. Thanks! P.S. I went back and forth between giving 2 stars and 3 stars. The employees here are really exceptional. And I didn't think it was fair to give the whole restaurant 2 stars because their culinary executive is absolutely clueless.

I often order some of their jumbo shrimp along with my fish, expecting 2 (as stated in the menu) but always receive a 3rd (perhaps not a true "jumbo"), but when did you last receive more than expected or paid for? Tried other fried fish places, but I always return here as none of them can compare.

I visited this establishment after Sunday evening church for evening rations…read more I ordered The Sampler and had Cod, Clams, Calamari and Scallops along with Chips (French Fries). Normally this comes with an Oyster but another Scallop was substituted as I don't care for Oysters... about the only type of seafood I don't care for. I did think the batter for the Calamari was too spicy. I had "wooder" to drink. Overall I was very satisfied with the meal. Well done H Salt. There was one all gender washroom which was not immaculate but was satisfactory. I was glad to see that paper towels were available. I have a bone to pick about the personal appearance of the employees at this establishment. I saw that the guys working at this establishment failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be highly unprofessional so I am deducting one point as this is something I am OCD about. I was glad to see Pepsi was available though I didn't have any this visit and I was happy to learn that refills are free. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school, this establishment would get a solid B.
