“Overall we had a great experience here. We went on a Sunday Evening. We didn't realize the wait would be so long so we didn't get onto the online waitlist until 5:30 which meant our reservation was an hour to an hour and 15mins later. We left a little late and they called us before we got there so we were dropped from the wait list. The good news was once we got there they were accommodating and put us back on the wait list with a short wait. Once there, the wait staff was Extremely attentive, professional and friendly. Food came out reasonably quick. The prices for king crab were $60/lb (too high for us) so we got snow crab for half that ($30/lb) and a seafood boil where you can pick and choose what goes into it (I love that!). Butcher block paper is on the table and you can choose to eat directly off the table which is super fun and my kids absolutely loved it. I only wish they had paper towels instead of napkins at the tables because it's messy. Overall it was super fun and we had a good experience.“

“Pacific Catch offers a fantastic mix of fresh seafood, flavorful dishes, and a laid-back yet stylish atmosphere. The menu has a great variety, from poke bowls to grilled fish, all with bold, well-balanced flavors. Hannah was one of the most professional and knowledgeable waitresses I have ever had. She was tremendous! I tried the poke bowl and it was delicious—fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The drinks were also on point, with a nice selection of craft cocktails and sake. Service was friendly and attentive, though the restaurant was a bit busy, so there was a slight wait for our food. Still, the overall experience was excellent, and I'd definitely come back. Perfect spot for a casual yet high-quality seafood meal! Would definitely recommend for seafood lovers or anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“I just enjoyed the BEST LOBSTER ROLL on the Planet. Whenever my Daughter and Husband visit LA, they drive all the way to San Diego for Lobster West. Today was my FIRST visit and I TASTED why they drive hours to frequent LW. LEO was absolutely AWESOME with an ASTERISK and nailed everything from professional customer service, genuine demeanor and made my visit A PLUS from Food to conversation, interaction and atmosphere. Leo made every customer who entered feel like they were the only one and has his undivided attention to ensure they left LOOKING forward to returning. I don't often give 5 stars but LW and Leo was 5-Star Plus. Pastor WDB-St. Louis, Mo“

“I'd work here if they paid me in poke bowls. So good. Other places the fish is questionable but this place always has a great taste and seems fresh! Oh and since you got rid of your yummy fountain and now just have standard Pepsi $2+ is a little much for a little cup of a Pepsi product .... I miss the old options that were worth the money �“

“Great food and awesome service“

“Fish District is our favorite when we’re not cooking at home. The fish is consistently excellent—fresh, well-cooked, and fantastic every single time. The service is fast and friendly, with no fuss, which I appreciate. Located in a regular strip mall, it has the usual fast-food atmosphere—nothing extravagant, but it gets the job done. A reliable choice for a quick meal that satisfies!“

We were so happy our trip last week included California English! Right away the decor & atmosphere draw you in, being both chic & comfortable. Our server was absolutely fantastic & the food could not have been better. Try the ricotta toast, fish & chips & sticky toffee & date cake, you won’t be disappointed!“

“This is a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy each other’s company. The food is nice and delicious. I had the wagu and eggs. The meat was seasoned to perfection deliciousness but a little over cooked. The potatoes were very yummy. It is worth the visit and prices are reasonable as well.“

“I enjoyed Ember & Rye on this occasion and under its former name “Argyle.” Each time the food was outstanding and the staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the food and wines, and created an experience that made me want to return. The wedge salad, brocolini, and boneless ribeye, cannot be criticized.“
