Pacific Catch - Campbell

Pacific Catch opened relatively recently in the Pruneyard. The name was "catchy" so we decided to give it a try.

As the name suggests they primarily serve seafood, however they do have some steak dishes for the folks not too keen on fish. The restaurant decor is warm and inviting, and the menu is really exciting as well.

They have seafood dishes from many different parts of the world, you will see dishes inspired by Hawaiian, Asian, Mexican, and South American cuisinses. Their Hawaiian Poke bowl being one of my absolute favorites.The saltyness from the soy, and the nutty taste of the sesame oil, contrasted with the crisp wonton chips and pungent mustard greens make this a very enjoyable appetizer.

Their Korean Sticky Ribs are another must have. These are a bit on the salty side, but the meat is fall of the bone, tender. It is missing a starchy component though, they should consider adding mashed potatoes, or maybe rice cakes to this dish to balance the saltiness, and to sop up the sauce.

Onto the entrees - one of my favorite things is that most dishes come in small plates. Perfect for a light meal, or to share with a group. Our group got the Mixed Catch Basket, a combination fish and chips platter, tacos - steak, and mahi mahi, and Cabo shrimp. The steak and fish were on the dry side, but the shrimp was a huge hit.The sushi roll was pretty good too.

We also indulged ourselves with cocktails - the lemongrass mojito missed the mark, but the prickly pear margarita was really good!

All in all, it is a fun place to get a few drinks, and a quick bite to eat before you head out to watch a movie.

Bottom Line:
Price - $$
Ambience - Trendy
Vegetarian Friendly - No
