The Pocket offers a unique dining experience with its interesting flavors and good food, providing a better option than the "touristy" restaurants in the area. The restaurant is known for its professional and welcoming staff, including the chef who recommends the fresh-caught halibut and the flavorful calamari appetizer. The recent reviews highlight the outstanding halibut, which many guests find to be exceptional, and mention the Black Cod and Spicy Crab noodles as being absolutely amazing. The service remains highly praised, with staff described as welcoming and efficient, creating a great vibe and comfortable atmosphere inside the restaurant. Dishes like the braised short rib, Osso Buco, and grilled octopus have received positive comments, although some noted that octopus and ribeye could be better. The special Empanadas, Pear salad, and Pork Chop are also enjoyed, along with desserts such as Pecan pie and Peach tart, which are considered perfect endings to the meal. The setting is charming, especially on the patio, and the inside is also very nice. While prices may be a bit high, the overall experience, including the refined, tasty food and excellent service, makes it worthwhile.
