We had such a great time! Caught up with some old friends and the food was the perfect compliment to a great evening. Our server, Leanne, was incredible and I can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great night Leanne :)) read more

Food is always freshly made and our server, Robbie, was exceptionally helpful. The ambience is very cheerful and pleasant. The menu has a large variety of small and large dishes, all of which have been excellent so far. I recommend this restaurant for the excellent food and service. I will also say it's reasonably priced for the quality. read more

Every dish at our table exceeded expectations, with generous portions, at reasonable prices. The salmon bowl, for example: a perfectly cooked salmon fillet that could have been a stand-alone meal, this one embedded in a mountain of tasty and artfully arranged greens. Leanne was a breath of fresh service air, with seamless attention to everything. What a difference that makes. It's also no small thing that this place takes its seafood sourcing seriously. The dining area is airy and festive, indoors and out, yet how nice that you can readily hear the others at your table. We will be back. read more

This is my new favorite spot to have delicious high-quality seafood. This is my second time eating at this place and it has delivered top-notch quality and service on each visit. I love the miso cod. It literally melts in your mouth and the ceviche appetizer plus the shrimp tempura roll is to die for. Today, I was waited on by Marielle, and she was so sweet and kind. She kept checking in on us making sure that everything was perfect. It has a great location off of Wilshire and second just one block from the beach and we were able to sit out on the patio and people watch along with a beautiful sunset. It doesn't get any better. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great meal with a great ambience. read more

NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT! Can't say enough good ... Pacific Catch is crushing it! We've had numerous meals there, but this past weekend we hosted a must-have-there (location!) dinner party. There was no stone left unturned - they knocked it out of the ballpark! The hors d'oeuvres were beautifully presented, and the dinner consisting of generous and wonderful salad, kampachi cooked to PERFECTION and brussel sprouts... Delicious, incredible service, and professional at every turn. My co-hosts kept saying, when does an event like this happen without a single hitch, with everything so perfectly executed and truly delicious! (Awesome bar, tasty drinks, can't wait to return!) Exceeded our expectations on every count. They made planning a somewhat complicated event such a delight! (I named Jim, the manager, Mr. Done - because the response we heard every time we asked if something was possible, available, ... "Done!") Welcome to Santa Monica, Pacific Catch! We've needed you and your remarkable, friendly, attentive, detailed and not fussy SERVICE ... and delicious food (day and night!) for years! So happy you're in the 'hood; hope you never leave! You won't be disappointed at Pacific Catch! read more

Such a great new restaurant! Food is delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. The service was impeccable. Our server, Noel, was so informative and helpful. All of his suggestions were spot on. Loved this experience so much we joined the membership program. We will definitely be coming back and we live in the valley! Also, I had the Miso Cod and it was as good as, if not better, than the one at Nobu. Just sayin' read more

I went with some friends for dinner. Service was very slow here. Their salmon smelled so bad. Each time we asked for a drink from the waiter it took him so long to bring our drinks. overall the experience was not good at all. read more

2 out of 5 cause your food hits the boink, I don't want to overlook that, it's amazing. But yall are fucking dbags for charging $10 for 4 sticks of asparagus. I was so excited then opened that & laughed. Who the hell? You lost me, I can get good seafood elsewhere read more

Hannah provided outstanding service! She was knowledgeable, helpful with recommendations, and had a great attitude.

Cool spot with good food including some healthy options. I got the Kanpachi w/green beans & mashed potatoes which was delicious! A nice variety of seating areas. Another highlight of my first visit was our server, Happy Hannah. I am completely torn about what I liked better: her sweet personality or the animated way she talked with her hands. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Great new restaurant with something for every taste. The ambiance is welcoming and the staff are amazing. Some are new so be patient as they are learning this extensive menu. I love the rewards program. I ordered the lobster roll. It was just OK. If you are from the east coast you may be disappointed. The dishes my friends ordered were delicious and they were extremely satisfied. I will definitely go back and try something different. read more

Pacific Catch - East Coast Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Very good and has all kinds of healthy options. I really enjoyed the house salad and rainbow sushi roll. The Hawaii rice bowl with chicken was good as well. We sat in Laurie's section and she was excellent. She made sure we had everything we needed and helped us decide what to order! Highly recommend this spot! read more

Our service was amazing, thank you, Adolfo and Robbie. We wish you much success in the months to come! We never leave reviews, but for you we are definitely doing so! Congratulations on 2.5 months of service. The calamari appetizer was amazing, the black cot was outstanding! read more

The food was absolutely delicious. I would recommend the yellow tail ceviche was it was a 5/5. The surf and turf was phenomenal- the steak was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was the best i've ever had. Hannah's service was great, she's increasing friendly and it was very busy on valentine's day but she still took care of us. It was so busy they ran out of lobster mashed potatoes but we got crab mashed potatoes instead. SO GOOD! 10/10. Thanks again Hannah! Happy there is a new spot in Santa Monica for us to eat at. read more

The food is not bad, but the menu could be improved. Also, one of the male waiters told me that my small dog could not sit on a chair...and had to stay on the floor...(seriously? We were alone there...) I'm taking off 2 stars for that. The waiter himself was very nice. read more

We came here for my birthday and it was amazing! The service was great, the food was amazing. Leanne did an amazing job at helping/guiding us through the menu! She made great recommendations. If you come here I hope Leanne is your server! read more

Maybe my new favorite restaurant in Santa Monica. We discovered it by chance. I had the tuna poke bowl, and my husband had the seabass. He loved his food, and I was ecstatic about the poke bowl; since my poke bowl place closed during the Covid crisis, I have been looking for a replacement, and tried bowls in expensive and moderate restaurants, and been disappointed each time. This one at Pacific Catch was perfect, the rice and the tuna were well seasoned and each one was at its ideal temperature; the vegetables were lightly pickled, organic and plentiful, the avocado was perfect. I know I'm raving, but it has been a long search, and the search is over! :D Add to that that the service, prices and decor were all 5*. read more

This review is later than I had hoped. We ate here in mid-January while evacuated from the Palisades fire and staying at the Regent Hotel on Ocean. Our server was lovely and I wish I could remember her name. My husband ordered the Lobster Roll which he loved and I ordered the Miso black cod. That was quite good(not Nobu but then what is) and would definately order again. The manaager came over and comped our dinner when he discovered we were evacuated which I thought was a very classy move. He said, "Just take care of my server", which we were happy to do. The space is quite large but comfortable. They seemed to be doing a robust take-out service. We need to support these new restaurants because they are dealing with immense financial challenges, now including the Palisades fire... read more

I love this place so much. The staff are so nice and friendly. Good energy, great food and drinks. My favorite place in Santa Monica!

This was our first visit and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a smile by Elias.. we knew we were in for a special evening. Not only was the ceviche trio plate amazing, the manager Adolfo came over and spent time chatting with us. The customer service could not have been better.!! We will be back! read more

food was fantastic! we ordered everything from the feel good five menu (all gluten free) and we enjoyed everything! huge portions for what you pay for and our serve who I have had twice now leanne is so attentive and amazing! never felt like we had to chase her down. she's on top of it, gave great recs and so knowledgeable about allergies! read more

It was a great experience. Food was really good, fresh and reasonably priced. Also, very friendly staff. Definitely will be back. read more

Had an amazing experience here--food was great, but the real standout was our server, Hannah. She was so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. You can tell she really cares about making your experience great. Everything came out perfectly timed and her recommendations were spot on. If you go, definitely ask for Hannah. She made our night! read more

This was My first time trying Pacific Catch. I screwed up my address on my DoorDash order and it didn't get delivered. It was supposed to have been brought back to the store so I called and was connected with Chris at PC. I told him my situation My order hadn't been delivered back and without hesitation, Chris offered to remake my order so it would be fresh at no additional charge. I picked Up my order and wow! The food was awesome! I Will definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu. Superb food, superb customer service. Thanks Chris! read more

I was a regular at the Bay Area and was very excited when I learned about this new location in Santa Monica. Happy to say everything was just as good here as it was in Northern California! Food was fantastic - from the Calamari appetizer to the poke bowl and fresh catch salmon entree. Crab mashed potatoes also a big plus! Service was great - our waitress was very friendly and kept checking in on us throughout the meal. Ambiance is classic Pacific Catch - casual but a great place to get high quality food at a reasonable price. This location is top notch too very close to the water and walking distance to 3rd street promenade. Looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

Great friendly staff, everything was clean, food was delicious. Was looking for a filling meal and did in fact get a filling meal. read more

My boyfriend and I went in 30 minutes before close and were nervous that we'd get rushed service, but Noel was incredible and took his time explaining the menu for us. He sold us on a great Riesling and the food was incredible!! Amazing portion sizes and great tasting flavor. We are super happy with our visit and would love to come again. read more

Absolutely fantastic. The best poke I've ever had. Came here with a party of six. Everybody super, super satisfied. Huge portions. Totally delicious. Great ambience. Fantastic, knowledgeable server. Every member of my party wants to come back. Just great. read more

Food was better than expected. Quite tasty, fresh, unique flavors combined with Mexican and a Japanese but they also have Korean BBQ and Thai iced tea. Better than your usual medium priced seafood restaurant!! The eggplant on the side was surprisingly yummy! Even my husband who hates eggplant every piece of it. Cathleen , our waitperson, was friendly and gave great service! Definitely coming back! read more

Loved my dining experience here! The atmosphere and interior decoration is great, our server (Noel) was attentive and the food was delicious. The manager (Jim) checked on us and went above & beyond. Definitely recommend! read more

Food, awesome. Noel is great. Bar was slow. But will be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food was delicious and seating was very comfortable! Decor was nice and patio seating had plenty of heaters for colder nights. Our server Noel was fantastic and I could see all the staff were very available and friendly. My only wish was that the bar drinks were a little faster but they said business is booming and they are working on getting more bartenders. Drinks were worth the wait though. I highly recommend going! read more

Every establishment needs a Greg! He was so personalable, attentive and made our first time at Pacific Catch very memorable. A great happy hour menu and they even have a food menu for dogs! Definitely a must try and ask for Greg! read more

Lots of fresh and healthy options and totally reasonable prices for a seafood place. Nice staff serve you in the comfortable, well lit dining room, U-shaped bar, or covered patio. read more

Noel was amazing! All of his menu recommendations were fantastic. I absolutely loved this place! read more

See all

We had lunch and the food and service was great. I had the salad with lobster and shrimp and my husband had the lobster roll. While we didn't bring any kids it appeared to be very child friendly. read more

Came here on a Thursday at 6:30pm. Didn't think 2 entrees would take until 7:55pm to arrive and we were in a rush to get back to our babysitter. The decor / ambiance is nice, the menu has options for everyone but the ceviche appetizer (came out fast) was very fishy and not fresh. Once our entrees came out (~50 min wait), the food was solid but we were so rushed to leave, it spoiled the experience. The waitress did apologize several times and said the food was coming right out even though it really wasn't. They need to figure out how to speed up service. I would give this place another try but will wait until they get their operations streamlined. read more

We were looking forward to trying this new fish restaurant in Santa Monica. I doubt we'll go back. As others have said, the decor is lovely: spacious and fresh with comfortable booths. I ordered the sea bass which was fine but with overcooked string beans and a very mundane salad hardly worth the price. The ribs were drowned in a sweet gloppy glaze. The Arnold Palmer seemed to have been made with straight lemon juice, not lemonade, and was undrinkable. By far, the best part of our experience was our server, Isabelle, who was both efficient and delightful. read more

Since the first time we were there a few months ago, we have become regulars and it's our new favorite place to go .. the seafood is fresh and the warm lobster roll is the best we've had anywhere ... the staff is attentive and friendly .. it's a great place ... you'll love it !!! And if you're lucky, Elias will be your waiter , he's so attentive ! read more
