Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. From the day we opened we've been mindful about where our ingredients come from and how to bring to life the vibrant flavors and feeling of the Pacific. It's our commitment to our guests to keep things interesting, innovative, wholesome and thoughtfully sourced. That's why we've formalized our relationship with the Monterey Bay Seafood Aquarium's Seafood Watch, James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch and the Surfrider Foundation by becoming a partner and bringing on a director of sustainability to help steward these efforts.

We will be following the most stringent protocols on cleaning, sanitization, social distancing, and protections for employee health including temperature taking and the use of protective masks and gloves.

    The Hawaiian Bowl was outstanding! The wine selection is very good. The staff is ALWAYS efficient and friendly. I had asked for a particular table but wasn’t given it. Not sure why they didn’t, but I expected that as in the past the restaurant would honor my request. But that’s not important in the big picture. Maybe next time.

    Great service as always but the Hawaiian poke bowl was not fresh. The poke and spiced poke was too gummy, not fresh at all. Too bad, liked the veg surrounding it though.

    A friend and I had an excellent lunch today and will definitely return. The server was thoughtful and attentive (as was the host) and the salmon “bowl” I ordered was exceptionally good. The combination of ingredients made for a complete meal and everything was fresh and delicious. I’d highly recommend this spot for lunch or dinner.

    We are neighborhood regulars, and brought our guests from Kansas City in for dinner. Jordan was a great server, and didn't kick us out (as we were the last guests of the day!). With a new menu, it took us a hot minute to read it over and find our favorites. A great selection of poke bowls, a variety of poke, variety of fish tacos, and plates like Fish-and-Chips or Surf and Turf. We all enjoyed our meals and cocktails as well. Very consistent. Very well done. Great work team.

    We had a wonderful dinner with family and friends. Dana was our server and she was very tentative, informative, and always checked up on us as we were a party of 10 sitting in the back area behind the fireplace. We ordered a couple of Pupu platters for the table which went pretty fast. It seemed like everyone liked what they ordered. The manila clam stew was very good! I had a three-taco plate consisting of crispy cod, grilled shrimp, and siracha beef. They were tasty and hearty. We were very surprised with the "crispy dulce de leche spring roll"! It was a fried cheesecake with a scoop of dulce de leche gelato and caramel sauce. That actually blew our minds. Worth coming back just for that.

    Jordan was an amazing waitress. Very helpful, Very attentive and very sweet. We enjoyed our meal and I greatly appreciated her compensation on the dish I couldn’t eat. She’s a five star server and they should be proud to have her on staff.
