Pacifico

"Top notch. This restaurant is a true neighborhood gem. We had New Year’s Eve dinner at this restaurant and our experience was extraordinary from beginning to end. Every dish was superb, starting with the crispy oysters over mofongo and the tuna ceviche. Our second course was the Chilean sea bass served over risotto with a green tomato sauce, and for dessert we ordered the chocolate filled churros and the warm chocolate cake with blackberry sorbet. They have a variety of specialty cocktails showcasing fresh ingredients and wonderful tropical flavors, such as their mojitos and margaritas. Ambiance is warm and colorful, a nice open space with a full bar and open kitchen, very lively and lovely. They also have salsa night on Fridays and Saturdays, run to this place, you won’t be disappointed."

"The food was tasty. They really know how to prepare seafood. The calamari was delicious as well as the scallops. My risotto needed a little more seasoning for my taste but other than that no complaints. The staff was very friendly and loved sitting upstairs at that corner window. Will definitely be back."

"Pacifico is a 5 because they are exactly what they set out to be - an always good go-to mid-range dining experience. Not a Michelin star, thank goodness, as I can’t always afford that. Cocktails are in the $12-13 range. Tapas under $15. Best mains around $30. Healthy portions. Solid presentations. Friendly staff (people reflect what you give off - it’s a two-way street)."

"Very good service, we had the mussels with red sauce. The broth was so good I could have drank it. Whole sea base was a little on the salty side but still really good. It does come with black olives that you can request to take out. Shrimp and scallops with lobster ravioli was my mom's favorite. We had another dish which was also delicious it, seafood Paella had mussels, clams, scallops and shrimp with saffron rice."

"This is one of the best meals I have had dining out, stellar food experience from beginning to end. Surprisingly, it was all tapas and small plates, no entrees necessary! The variety of tastes and flavors elevated this restaurant to top status. People comment about this place being pricey, but this New Yorker felt that the prices were quite fair, considering the sophistication of the cuisine. Here is what we ordered, ranked best first: Oysters, Salmon Tartare, Short Rib Empanadas, Shrimp Ceviche, Duck Quesadilla, Yucca Fries, Burrata, Roasted Cauliflower. Cocktails: Pisco Sour and Old Fashioned Dessert: Columbian Chocolate Cake and decaf cappuccino Everything was absolutely fantastic. The food was five stars, but had to take one star off due to the cold temperature of the area we sat in, which took away from our dining experience; I mentioned it a couple of times during the meal, and towards the end at dessert, it became warm. The young lady next to us ate with her coat on for the whole meal. Do not hesitate to dine at this venue—you will be floored by how delicious it all is."
