If you go there ask for Ricky, the best. He made great recommendations was super responsive and caring. I had the lobster and steak and it was perfect. I have not been impressed much in California BUT the Pacific Catch was up to great standards. I recommend it. read more

Really enjoyed everything as usual and now that I've been there a few times I can say that the main thing that needs to be improved is the portion size. I ordered a combo seafood salad and I was told it was a large salad - delicious but small, especially for the prices. read more

Perfect Sunset Happy Hour! We just had the best happy hour at Pacific Catch! Calvin, the awesome manager gave us a great table on the patio and told us we could have all the time I wanted in a private part of the patio! . Bella, our server, was adorable and attentive the entire night. She was always available when we needed her, but never intrusive. . We had great appetizers. All of them delicious from the sticky ribs to the coconut shrimp to the ceviche and sushi. The margaritas were fantastic, and if you wear an aloha shirt, you get two dollars off the Mai Tai happy hour. It's great for people who love seafood and if you don't love seafood. I loved the seafood and also the sticky ribs and other delicious carne options The shrimp ceviche was so excellent with fresh lime juice! Definitely a MUST!!! read more

For the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed Pacific catch and I'm glad this is in the Santa Monica area. We needed another good fish restaurant. I felt the prices were fair, but I ordered the fresh fish from Hawaii and I wish the portion was just a little bit bigger. For $35 for the Complete dinner it's not a bad deal. I asked for my salad ahead of time, but I guess they dropped the ball and forgot, but that's no big thing so everything came out at once. We will definitely be back. I asked for the music to be turned down a bit because it was pretty irritating and they did it immediately, which was great. I don't see a need for the music in this particular restaurant, but I guess the Owner's feel it is necessary for some reason. I definitely recommend you give it a try if you like fish. By the way, I saw the tacos on somebody else's plate and they were very nice sized. I saw the hours of the happy hour at this restaurant. They are three to six p.m. Monday through Friday . and three to five p.m. on weekends. read more

Pacific Catch - Seafood Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Pacific Catch is a great chain of seafood restaurants. We love this one. We have been more than once for pick up and dine in. We love dine in. The place is a really nice size and it is super pretty. It is kept brand new looking and the seating is very comfortable. You will love the service. They have a great menu and the staff knows everything about it. Your food comes out as ordered and perfect every time. It has a full bar with a nice wine list and great craft beers. Everything there is good, but my favorite is their clam chowder and their pupu platter. Both are on the starter menu. The pupu platter has great deep fried coconut shrimp, chips, stick ribs, guacamole and great salmon sushi tacos. We always order the lobster surf and turf. The skirt steak that comes with it is so tender and cooked the way you want it. The lobster is a decent size, about 6 ounces. It comes with the best mashed potatoes and grilled Hawaiian bread, which you just can't get enough of. The vegetable is a really good broccolini, which has a nice chili-miso flavor. Everything is great so have fun. read more

Food was really good and clean and reasonably priced. Super fresh fish. Leanne was amazing. She was very aware of food, allergies and sensitivities and had great recommendations as well as a cheerful and pleasant demeanor. Look forward to coming here again definitely the best place we've been to near 3rd Street promenade. read more

I always enjoy a good happy hour spot. For starters you have to start with their POKE & CEVICHE which is Original Ahi Poke yellowfin ahi tuna, sesame-soy marinade, sweet onion, red pepper flakes and wonton chips. They also have another delicious option which is Serrano Ahi Poke which is yellowfin ahi tuna, sweet onion, sriracha aioli, serrano chile and wonton chips. Their Classic Yellowtail Ceviche which is kanpachi, citrus marinade, avocado, red onion, cucumber, Fresno chile, cilantro and tortilla chips. I also enjoy their Baja Shrimp Ceviche which is shrimp, fresh lime marinade, avocado,Fresno chile, cilantro and tortilla chips. The staff is friendly and always helpful. read more

Great food, but the service and host experience were disappointing. The food at Pacific Catch was very good--fresh, flavorful, and the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, almost everything else fell short. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half empty, yet the host insisted we had to sit outside. There were clearly open tables inside, but he told us that if we chose one, service would be slow because of server coverage. It felt odd to be pushed outside when the dining room was visibly not full. Outside seating would have been fine, except it was cold and we had to ask twice before the heat lamps were turned on. Meanwhile, the couple seated next to us was actively complaining about poor service, which didn't exactly inspire confidence. Our own service ended up being adequate--nothing terrible, but not particularly friendly or attentive either. In the end, the food was the one bright spot. But between the unfriendly host, confusing seating decision, and uneven service, the overall experience didn't live up to the quality of the kitchen. read more

The ambiance was a good level. Nice music in the background. Moderate conversation level. The food was amazing. Probably the best surf&turf I've ever had. The lychee luau drink was a tad too sweet. Leanne our server was so patient and gracious to explain the menu as this is was it first time. I would definitely come back again. read more

Pacific Catch - Surf & turf ~ grilled lobster tail, skirt steak, mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. - Seafood Near Me - Santa Monica, California

It was mine and my family's first time here, and the service was so bad, took so long for someone to come and take our drink order and when they did we ordered our drinks and food because we were on a time schedule and we didnt want to wait for another long time for someone to come back and take our order, so this made our visit no enjoyable and we wont be back and not recommend to anyone because first our food and appetizer came out all together and then our drinks came out after we had already been eating. Then we had to return the appetizer we ordered because we ate our food. In a normal restaurant you come by take a drink order and then ask us if were ordering an appetizer we eat that and drink and then order for our food it suppose to come out in sections not all at once. You need to hire more staff members. read more

The food was amazing and the server was awesome! Very charismatic and definitely made our experience a great one to accompany a great resturant! Her name was Leanne J read more

This spot totally blew me away for their irresistibly tasty food, beautiful interior, and their welcoming atmosphere We ordered their West Coast Lobster Roll, Pacific Chowder, Korean BBQ plate, Clam Udon, Fresh Catch Sea Bass, and their Ala Carte Crispy Fish Taco. I really love how soft and creamy the Lobster Roll here, and the Chowder was really flavorful! We were pleasantly surprised at how tasty and well-balanced their Korean BBQ plate was. It was loaded with Kimchi Fried Rice, crispy Brussel Sprouts, and tender Korean BBQ steak! Definitely recommend this spot for a great dinning experience if you're around the area. read more

Terrible salmon sandwich- Chilean sea bass tacos had hardly any fish and tasted like tiilapia.. only the fried fish taco was decent. It's not hard to do a nice grilled fish sandwich guys..lets alone fish tacos.. maybe one oz of fish in each one. I'm so over places like this. Super nice staff- come to the bar for happy hour Tuesday as bottles of wine are half off- read more

Overall, it was just okay. Nothing amazing but nothing terrible either. The inside seating looked cafeteria-like but we elected to sit outside where there was more ambiance with an electric fireplace and low lighting. We got the miso cod, calamari and the lobster sushi rolls. Nothing innovative or memorable unfortunately. The place was quiet on a weekday. Not many people. The waitress was attentive and nice. So, not sure if I'll remember to come back here. That's about it. read more

Visited for happy hour today. Very friendly staff, we were greeted by the bartender immediately. Had several drinks, watermelon margarita, guavarita and beers. Great drinks and service at the bar. Ordered a pupu platter and sticky ribs. The kitchen was really slow and food was very mediocre. The sea bass skewers were not good, tasted old and too fishy. The pork belly sliders were the best thing on the platter. Not the greatest culinary experience. Likely won't return. read more

wowww amazing service and food!! first off, LEANNE, YOU ARE THE BEST!! she was so helpful in walking us through the menu and checking in on us to make sure we're okay. her service definitely was the cherry on top. we ordered a few things off their savor the summer menu: the lobster hand roll, scallop hand roll, white tiger ceviche, and summer sea bass. off their normal menu, we ordered the original ahi poke, hawaiian pork belly sliders, and black cod miso. the ceviche and black cod miso were my favorites, super flavorful and everything went so well together. everything is fairly priced and they had a lot of drink options. i got the sangria off the savor the summer menu and it was pretty light and fruity. parking: there are many lots nearby where it's 90 minutes of free parking will for sure be coming back since i want to try off the menu! and hopefully leanne is able to host us again! read more

Wow! Dropped in here for happy hour when I was working in the area and was so impressed! Top five best happy hour restaurants ever! Each dish pictured was $8 or less and I still can't get over the portion size. Everything is so well done and the seasoning and mix of flavors unique. The sushi was excellent as well. If I still lived on the westside, we would be here once a week for sure! The staff was attentive, and the ambience had a hip and welcoming aloha vibe. read more

Pacific Catch - Happy hour treats - fish taco, Brussel sprouts and eggplant - Seafood Near Me - Santa Monica, California

We were looking for different seafood restaurant since we like Water Grill & Blue Plate in Santa Monica and tried Pacific this weekend. Nice help, very large clean restaurant (almost to basic clean inside like a new Dennys), but it just did not impress us. It was not bad, but I think you choose the wrong location for this level of food based on local seafood restaurant around Santa Monica. Santa Monica is tough right now for all businesses which makes things extra tough. Ordered a couple items and the food is a better than a Red Lobster, but not close to the 4 other seafood places around you. Since the price points are a touch lower than the local competition, maybe this is the customer type you're looking for. Could be the retired 5 PM dinner people is your crowd. Place was empty at lunch this weekend vs other seafood places we walked bye. We ordered a mixed plate of appetizers and some steak tacos. Never ate the tacos since they were loaded with aioli. **I asked the waiter if the pork slider had mayo on the bread since I hate it and he said no when we first ordered. When I ordered the steak tacos, he never mentioned aioli was all over them so I did not try them. Wife said they were ok. What I ate was ok. It was served nice. The only thing we thought were terrible were the LIMP fries. Order some fries across the street from a popular restaurant and you'll get some nice crispy fries. You should change your recipe since they were not very good. I do not like writing 3 star reviews for newer restaurants, but Santa Monica seems to have changed a lot in a negative which makes things tough for all restaurants and all businesses. read more

One word for this dish: EXQUISITE ! The Miso Black Cod is one of the most delicious entrees I have ever tasted. This was my first time trying and I was so pleased. Pacific Catch prepared each element of the dish perfectly - the Cod was perfection. The rice was so flavorful, not an afterthought as in most restaurants. The asparagus was crisp, not soggy or limp. It was truly a 5 Star meal delivered via Postmates. I also recommend their fish and chips. read more

Wonderful service got seat right away no waiting. The waitress was very nice told us about the seasonal special and what she recommended. I got the Lobster Surf and turf which was fresh and delicious. My brother and sister in law got the seasonal menu which they enjoy because their plates were empty before mine. Ambiance with elegant and inviting. Ocean vibe throughout the restaurant. read more

Pacific Catch - friends and bomb food! - Seafood Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My fiancé and I were in Santa Monica and wanted something refreshing to eat so we chose this place based on the pictures. Did not disappoint! My fiancé and I both got the Salmon bowls which were really good and had a lot of quinoa mixed with rice and some nice oils to compliment the dish. Drinks were really good and I feel as though the Blood Orange Margarita was slightly better than the one my fiancé had but both still were delicious. We also had ordered a shrimp tempura roll which was also really good. Our server was attentive and always asked us if we were doing okay which we appreciated. Since it's a corner spot, we decided to sit on the patio to people watch and get some of that fresh ocean breeze. I would for sure want to come back at some point whenever I'm near Santa Monica again! read more

Food is good actually almost great however service was slow. The servers themselves were so sweet, nice and apologetic however the service can be better as we have come on two separate occasions where one was busy and other was pretty empty and both times service was slow despite politeness. Would I go back? Yes food was good and I would go back. read more

Super friendly. Great food. Jaxs the bartender was awesome. Loved the salmon chowder.

service! the management here needs to get more bartenders and servers especially hh time.. poor bartender was left making drinks for the whole restaurant and took orders out on the booths outside of the bar station.!?she was all over the place. waited 20 min for a drink. i am not coming back worst first impression ever at a restaurant experience. ppl walked out and looked upset. read more

I can't even tell you how much I LOVE this place because I love seafood and that's all they have! I cannot say enough about the summer, Seabass!

I really appreciated that especially on my birthday. Thank you guys. We will continue to keep patronizing and thank you for always delivering. read more

We loved Pacific Catch! Their menu had so many delicious-sounding dishes that it was hard to choose. I ended up having the teriyaki chicken bowl, so not exactly seafood, but it was soooo good. Lots of tender grilled chicken, pineapple, edamame, carrots, sticky rice and sweet teriyaki sauce. I was there with several colleagues, and one of them ordered this same dish two days in a row! Hubs had grilled swordfish and vegetables. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The restaurant was not busy at all, which surprised me on a Thursday night. We would definitely eat here again. read more
