Pacific Catch La Jolla

The restaurant was incredibly busy on a Friday night, so I recommend making a reservation through OpenTable. There's plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors, as well as at the bar. Since we arrived early, we grabbed a drink at the bar before being seated. It's also nice to know that dogs are welcome on the patio! The chips were quite delicious, but a little extra salt would enhance their flavor. The portion sizes were generous, although some dishes could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The sushi tacos were excellent, but the salmon in one of the dishes was a bit dry and slightly overcooked. Overall, the atmosphere was great, and the staff was very friendly.

This has quickly become my favorite seafood restaurant. The appetizers were great, but the standout dishes were the fresh catch entrees. You get to choose your fish, sauce, and two sides. I tried the yellowtail with a delicious golden turmeric sauce, paired with Thai Brussels sprouts and crab mashed potatoes, and it was so good I'm salivating just writing about it. We also tried yellowtail with Asian herb chimichurri and kimchi fried rice, which we absolutely loved. My friend, who is a lobster roll expert, stated that it was one of the best she’s ever had. The drinks — jala-piñamargarita, guava margarita, and caramelized piña colada — were so tasty that we all ordered seconds. The setting is beautiful, with options for both indoor and outdoor dining, as well as a bar. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

All four of us ordered different bowls, and each one was delicious! I tried the Mexican bowl, which had a generous amount of shrimp. We initially wanted to sit outside, but the heat lamps were too intense for us. The indoor seating was really nice, and our server was fantastic.

It's decent but nothing spectacular considering how hard it is to get a table. The raw stuff was good with some tasty poke and ceviche. The fish was also cooked pretty well and seasoned adequately. But nothing really stands out, and it feels like you could get something equivalent at a much cheaper restaurant.

Had dinner here with friends. The place is nice and the staff is friendly. My big disappointment is that the menu is highly lacking in options. Yes, it seems like an extensive menu for a seafood restaurant, but upon further analysis you'll see they really only offer 4 items. Grilled Salmon, seared Tuna, blackened Sea Bass, and fried Cod. Then they proceeded to offer those same items with similar accompaniments in different presentations. You can get it on a bowl, in a taco,on a salad, on a bun... And they just call it something else. I was honestly disappointed at this lack of fish selection for a seafood place.
