    My husband and I left dinner last night and couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. First of all, the inside is decorated so wonderfully for Christmas… it’s just beautiful! The service was beyond what we’ve had at any other restaurant in the DFW area. Now let’s talk about the food! I don’t even know where to start. We ordered 7 different items and each one was amazing!! My husband said “I think this is the best dinner we’ve had since moving to Texas!”, and that was 6 years ago! 10 out of 10! We will be back!

    We had a great time. Henry was a marvelous waiter. He joined right in with our party without being intrusive. He anticipated our needs. The 8 oz filet was melt in your mouth. We also added lobster mac & cheese, potatoes au gratin, mushrooms & asparagus. The 6 of us loved it all. The ambiance was excellent. Everyone we encountered was delightful.

    The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by Dieter Krappl, GM, Terry Cook, Head Chef, Walter, Professional Waiter, and the other management and staff are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend café Pacific!

    We enjoyed our first trip to Al Biernat’s The wine and drinks were delicious. The salads were huge. I wish we would have split or maybe we should have asked how big they were. My husband had the Caesar which was perfect. Anchovies were fresh and delicious. I had the roasted pear salad. It was delicious. The dressing was perfect The entrees a filet and halibut were cooked perfectly Coconut cream pie delicious creamy. The bread basket had a great variety Overall I would give a 10 Thank you
