Established in 1980, Cafe Pacifica was acquired in 2008 by the owners of an Italian restaurant near downtown, hence the awkward new name. Thankfully, signature Cafe Pacifica dishes such as the crab-stuffed portobello mushroom topped with grilled asparagus, griddled mustard catfish, and the "Pomerita," a pomegranate margarita, are still on the menu.

Located in Old Town San Diego, this is probably the best seafood

Great place to go for a date where you can expect to be well served and still have a private conversation. Delicious meals prepared with something special in their presentation.

Service was very good. The decor could have been better, but very simple and fresh. Food needs much improvement.

With an elegant atmosphere and carefully prepared seafood entrees, this place is a top choice for elite dining. Light colors are emphasized by white linen tablecloths and white shutters. Some walls feature mirrors, while others host wine cases. For an appetizer, try the Grilled Shrimp Cake in port wine sauce along with the Griddled Salmon Cake, served with mango sauce. For entrees, fish tops...
