"the sandwiches here are huge and tasty! they can expect to wait about 10 minutes until their order comes out, but it is worth it. they also have a large selection of soups, desserts and drinks. there are outdoor seats with lots of space and convenient parking close to. I have the club sandwich and it took two meals!"

"Most of our party ordered the filet, my medium came pretty medium-rare, another that ordered medium came medium-well, the other seemed to be as ordered. Found the filet nice and tender but not as tasty as I 've remembered it in the past, same w/the sauce--both just missing that wow factor. Consensus on the carrots and broccoli was that they were just plain boring (and tasteless). Bread was delicious, as was dessert (your complimentary birthday ice cream dessert, which was nice that it was large enough to be able to share with others in the party)."

"We decided to enjoy a meal outdoors and chose to sit in the courtyard. To our dismay, two gentlemen were discreetly smoking cigars, which unfortunately tainted the ambiance as the smell pervaded the entire patio. None of the PC staff would speak to the gentlemen in an area where smoking was prohibited. As for the service, it left much to be desired. Our server seemed disinterested and appeared bothered when we asked questions about the menu. A simple gesture of a smile can often make a significant difference in a dining experience, but that too was missing throughout our meal. We had requested lemons, but our server failed to return with them. It was up to me to head to the bar and fetch them myself. In summary, while the setting could have been perfect for a delightful luncheon, the presence of cigar smoke and the lackluster service marred our experience. I hope Pacific Catch considers these areas of improvement, especially in terms of ensuring its staff is more attentive and responsive to customer needs."

"This was a special occasion for my wife and me. We had excellent service and all parties from the restaurant were very courteous. We dined for lunch and it was comfortable except for a bee or two. The restaurant has small fans for the table, but after a while we decided to change to a table inside."
