This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. We ordered a Wagyu Burger but were served a Salmon Burger instead. Mistakes happen, but our server, Eric, was rude about it and acted like it was our fault. After correcting the order, the wrong burger was still on our bill, and we waited nearly 40 minutes just to get the check because our server disappeared. And a different server HAD to help us GIVE our check like?? read more

First time coming to this place. Honestly not worth it for me. Please don't get me wrong, server was nice, decoration was classy and beautiful but the food... not worth the price! I think California fish grill taste way better! So overall cheap quality food with overpriced menu. Will I come back? Not at this place. Not worth it for me. read more

We came here for the second time and we just got kicked out for brining our bird pets on the patio. The first time we came when they just opened, the nice manager lady told us it's perfectly fine if it's outdoor. We had a good time and spent over $200 for just both of us. Now this dude told us no pets allowed. I told him don't worry about it. He just saved us a lot of money. Food is just ok but it's extremely overpriced. Just come and try if you are rich. read more

Such a good dining experience at Pacific Catch! The food is so yummy, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the Happy Hour deals are great! Bonus points for the awesome variety on the kids' menu. The only bummer was the server never came back with my to-go container for the sauce after I paid. Still highly recommend! read more

My friend and I had been looking for a nice place for dinner in Brea after Tap's closed. This may be it. There is a great seafood menu, full bar and great ambiance. The portions and prices both surprised us inna good way. Our server didn't rush us either, and we were so busy catching up, we took a while to order. We will be back soon. read more

irst, the food, staff, and overall environment were very calming and welcoming. My family was visiting from out of state, and they really enjoyed the food. However, as much as we enjoyed the food and atmosphere, there was a supervisor or manager named Sylvia (I think that was her name). Unfortunately, the way she treated the staff was very disappointing. She was especially unkind to the server and the food runner (the girl bringing the food out). Watching this made our experience uncomfortable. We had originally planned to return four more times during our visit at different days and times, but after seeing her attitude and behavior, we decided not to come back. It also made my nieces and nephew feel uncomfortable. Since Sylvia appeared older and more experienced than most of the staff, we expected her to guide and support the team. Instead, her behavior came across as harsh and disrespectful, which left a negative impression on us despite how much we enjoyed the food. read more

Called around 3:40 pm was told to rush in before 4 pm to get sat before a. Bunch of reservations. Came at 3:50 ( was literally walking there) and at 3:50 was told they closed walk ins. If they were planning to close the walk ins at least communicate with the host staff about it. Terrible read more

The ceviche mixto was delicious so flavorful! Really worth your $$. Also ordered the Guava-Rita sans the agave nectar, and salt rim .. DELICIOUS!!!!!! Definitely coming back service is wonderful... This beautiful weather I'm sure adds to it all... Great experience read more

We visited Pacific Catch in Brea on a Friday night a little over a week ago to celebrate a birthday, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. We had reservations for a party of five and were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was outstanding from the start. He immediately brought waters, offered thoughtful drink recommendations, and checked back at just the right times throughout the evening. I ordered the caramelized piña colada, and it was unlike any I've had before -- absolutely delicious and unique. While deciding on entrées, we ordered the edamame and guacamole with chips. Everything came out with impeccable timing. Our server was knowledgeable, offered excellent menu suggestions, checked on us periodically, and never once made us feel rushed. Based on his recommendation, I ordered the Barramundi sea bass with Thai Brussels sprouts and Okinawan purple sweet potato. It was incredible. My husband had the Alaskan cod fish and chips with sweet potato fries and said it was the best fish and chips he has ever had -- the cod was perfectly flaky. Others in our group ordered the taco trio and took our server's advice to try three different varieties. They said every single one was equally delicious. Another person ordered the salmon and loved it as well. Even though we were completely full, our server described the dessert options so well that we couldn't resist ordering one to take home. It was unique and absolutely worth it. The general manager, Bill, greeted us shortly after seating and checked in throughout the evening, not only with us but with multiple tables, making sure everything was perfect. That level of attentiveness stood out. The restaurant itself is beautiful -- new, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated. It's honestly impressive how smoothly everything operated considering they recently opened. We left saying how nice it is to have such a fantastic restaurant so close to home. The food, service, atmosphere, and overall dining experience were impeccable. We can't wait to return. read more

First time here. The food was excellent and good size portions. Service was great! The restaurant had great decor. Great evening out!

Great service amazing food. Everyone was so accommodating. We sat at the bar Andy was great and our server Nate was super nice. Special thanks to Silvia for being so friendly read more

I have been here 3 times and 2 of the 3 they did not have certain items. First visit, I ordered a blood orange margarita and they didn't have blood orange mix. Recently, I ordered ceviche and they offered Cholula or Tabasco. I asked for Cholula and they did not have it. There is no excuse for a restaurant to not have items on their menu. You can send somebody down the street to the market or even Uber Eats your missing ingredients. This is poor management. This is unfortunate because the food is great and the people who work there are very nice. read more

Food was good, but not great. She had the fish and chips, I had the lobster roll. It was a smaller portion than I expected for the price and they hadn't split the roll all the way through, so the portion of lobster sat mostly on top. A few pieces of the lobster were a little tough, but acceptable overall. Certainly not the best I've had, which was from a food truck, by the way. Fountain drinks were weak on carbonation. No salt & pepper on the table and when asked for, they brought small bowls; flaky sea salt isn't the best for French fries. We sat outside and in spite of many other couples at 4 top booths, and many empty booths, we were given a 2 top table. The booths all had overhead heaters and we didn't, which made things chilly when the wind picked up. They could really use some way to keep the wind from blowing through the west side patio, as it usually does in the evenings. Server was overly friendly and wanted to chat more than was comfortable. One mixed and one fountain drink seemed to take a while and when the drink arrived, they had to go back for the fountain drink. Sat and waited for the bill while the waiter had an extended chat with another table. read more

Been to the one in San Diego and Tustin. The one at Brea just opened. They have the best outdoor patio. You don't feel like your in Orange County. You feel like your at a tropical location. The food is always good here. Happy hour 7 days a week. The manager Bill stopped by and asked about our experience. I truly felt like they appreciated that we chose to dine with them. The only thing that I can suggest is to lower the TV's in the bar area and make them much bigger. read more

Pacific Catch - Great place to spend an afternoon - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

Our server wasn't helpful. We had to ask for utensils. At the end, the server was heard telling another server to back off because he wanted the tip. Terrible service overall. Think his name was Eric read more

I agree with another Yelper who gave 3.5 stars. Our experience did not meet the price point. The timing of service felt rushed. Our server was kind but we think he was ready to go home and it was hard to "be in the moment." We were overcharged for two mocktails although they were tasty. They were out of ingredients to mix a promoted cocktail. Our appetizer glazed ribs were chewy. (I may have enjoyed them anyway if it wasn't removed so quickly.) We did enjoy our seafood dishes and Thai brussels. There is potential here but even the bathroom was out of sorts. They really can bring everything up a notch for a solid 4 stars. read more

Thank you to Victoria for her exceptional service. Great food, looking forward to returning.

I really like their fish and chips the fish is fresh and moist.Our service is good and our server is always checking on usthe place is big and very airy. read more

The restaurant is new and quite packed! We made reservation and got seated right on time yay! Overall, you could tell the restaurant was new and haven't found their groove yet. You can tell there were a lot of employees running around but not as efficient. Our server and hostess was sweet. The food did taste pretty mid for the price/atmosphere but that could be again, not finding their groove yet. I came home looking at the menu because they asked me to sign up for their rewards program and I realized my appetizer was missing wonton chips. Sad because now that I think about it, the dish would have been elevated if I actually got them. Will try their other location to compare. read more

Aloha! What a beautiful restaurant! From the minute we walked in the host were very welcoming and we took seats at the beautiful bar for ALOHA HOUR. Hands down one of the best mai tai's I've ever had and the steak tacos were delicious. Our bartender was so friendly and explained to my husband all the different seafood options and my husband tried and loved them all. The key to a great restaurant is to have friendly employees that engage with you and they did just that. Even the manager Armando stopped by several times and we asked him all about this new gem of a restaurant. He was so friendly and even remembered our names when we were leaving.......We will be back. Next time it will be on a Friday with our best Hawaiian attire on for our discounted Mai Tais for sure. Soooo good!!! read more

The only thing missing was the ocean view and breeze! We came here after taking our daughter to build a bear for her birthday. We loved everything. From the poke appetizer to the fish and chips. My daughter got the chicken teriyaki bowl which she loved! Plus the Molten and ice cream for dessert. We can't wait to come back for happy hour. We loved the personal heaters at each table. Every server and wait staff was beyond nice. read more

We ate at Pacific Catch for dinner during their soft opening. The hosts were very friendly and showed us the bar area where we requested to sit. The bar tenders made us feel comfortable. They were skilled and engaging and the service was accurate. All the food on the menu sounded good and there were several dishes we wanted to try. We ordered 2 small plates; the guacamole-poke, and the lobster roll. For the entree we ordered the miso black cod which was, melt in your mouth, the best cod we've eaten. For dessert we got the chocolate lava cake...decadent. We will definitely be coming back again. read more

First, What an amazing first experience. Being from Brea. We were very excited to check out The Pacific Catch. One of the first full service restaurants to open, in our multi-million dollar redevelopment of the Brea Mall. We were impressed from start to finish. We were immediately greeted at the door with enthusiasm and smiles. The ambience and decor felt upscale and family friendly. The music made us feel like we were on a tropical Island. We wanted to check things out so we sat at the patio Bar. The bar was big, polished and clean. A bit empty, but they just opened last week. We were greeted within seconds by our bartender Andy. He presented our menus and guided us through it, as it was our first visit. As suggested, my husband tried The Classic Mai Tai. "Tropical and Fresh" he described it. That's when we found out about Aloha Friday. Don't forget your Hawaiian shirt. I wanted a glass of wine and was encouraged to try the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect for a warm afternoon on the patio. We didn't bring a large appetite, however we couldn't resist sharing The Homemade Crab Cakes after described by Andy. They were not only delicious. They were beautifully plated and we finished every bite. When we commented how delicious they were his response was that "their chefs make food with love". By that point we were touched by the passion and hospitality. We were also greeted by Emily. She was very kind and polite. Ensuring we had every need at hand. I don't think our water glasses were ever near empty. Before we left, we asked Andy if he was the manager? He said no, he was new to the company and owed it to his training and support team. Then proceeded to explain a little company background and how excited he was to be part of Pacific Catch. We left so excited to return for dinner. I hope the standards continue at such a high level. Welcome to Brea! We wish you all the best success. read more

Pacific Catch - Housemade Crab Cakes - Seafood Near Me - Brea, California

YES: The Food* is Fresh and Delicious! YES: The Service from the Hosts, Servers to the Cooks was Impeccable! YES: The Atmosphere is Bright, Modern and Inviting to enjoy a memorable dining experience! *WHY ARE FOOD PRICES $3-$4 PER PLATE HIGHER THAN THE TUSTIN LOCATION? I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS FOOD PRICING POLICY! [EQUALS 1 STAR] NO: The location in the City of Brea [EQUALS 1 STAR] is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS because of the Brea Police Department Policy which ALLOWS officers to decide which Citizens to Enforce the Laws and which Citizens are EXEMPT from the Laws! In other words the Mayor and Councilmembers Support and Condone a TWO-TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM! Therefore, for these reasons I wish the Senior Management would have selected the neighboring City of Yorba Linda to establish this ONE-OF-KIND-FAMILY-FISH-HOUSE! I have been to the Tustin Location many times for a SAFE Dining Experience!! OF COURSE THE CITY OF BREA IS A VERY UNSAFE CITY TO DINE AT! read more

This place has amazing food and a nice beach atmosphere. I could totally eat this all day, my only problem was that the order was messed up but they fixed it on the house, and I'm happy they did that. It was a nice experience. read more

Wow talk about exceptional service. Aldalfo the manager welcomed us like we were VIP. Mini our waitress was sweet as pie and was very attentive. The head chef Xavier even came out to personally deliver our dessert. We even had the pleasure of having John the busier wait on us. I am putting Pacific Catch in Brea on blast. I can't wait to come back. The ambience is super nice, but people the food in spectacular!!!!!! You gotta try this new Resturant at the Brea Mall on the new outer rim of the mall. read more

Had dinner there tonight. Miso cod was delicious. Great service and atmosphere Great happy hour menu. read more

When you walk into the restaurant you feel like you are on vacation! I love the decor. Our server Lauren was lovely. We brought our 2 kids and they had the chicken and beef bowl. Very good portion and the meat was good. Hubby and I got the rainbow chirashi bowl and it's a glorified poke bowl with very good raw fish. It's a big portion perfect for 2. The guava Rita is so good! Also got the brown and ice cream dessert which was good too. This place is a must for seafood! read more

Honestly not that great. Came for lunch had the tacos. Dry and tasted old. Mom had sea bass dry and not fresh. Friend had shrimp which she enjoyed. Their new so might come back but it wasn't that great. Service slow there was only 3 tables occupied read more

Nice decor; too bad the food and service don't match up. Ordered shrimp Al pastor which was okay but the side dishes were awful the rice was cold and mushy and the side vegetable was almost frozen. I usually don't complain, just leave and don't return. Showed the dish to the servers who said he would discuss it with management. Never saw him or the manager again. They did reduce charges by almost half however. No one apologized and frankly didn't seem to care. Never going back! read more

We were so excited and had such high hopes to try this new restaurant in Brea. The ambience is really nice. But to our disappointment the quality of the food was terrible, from the appetizer to the main course. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Went in during lunch. Host was friendly, and accommodated space for a stroller. The server, Mason was very professional and regularly checked on us and would refill our water when it was running low. He was very welcoming and attentive. Great food as well. Would come back! read more

I have eaten at Pacific Catch , Tustin many times, and decided to check out the newest location in Brea. In summary, I was not disappointed ! As soon as you walk up, you are greeted by the most friendly hostess who is very welcoming. Very engaging and helpful. Once you are seated, the staff insures you are well cared for. Water, drinks ordered, menus, can I help you get started ! If you have never experienced great service, treat yourself here. The decor and ambiance is relaxing and cozy. Reviewing the menu is like, "give me one of everything" Our party of four started out with the homemade crab cakes, Ahi Poke, Sushi Rolls and Guacamole and chips. Everything was fresh, excellently spiced and delicious. (save room for the Mains !). We had Summer Sea Bass, Shrimp Al Pastor, Japanese Wasabi original Ahi Poke bowl, and the lobster rolls. Everything was superb. Also, considering everything is sourced from sustainable fisheries, and freshly delivered, really enhances the overall experience. Finally, a shout out to the bartenders and staff. a great selection of beers and wine, and the ability make great cocktails. I love Old Fashioneds, had the Tiki version. It was unique and GREAT, will definitely go back for one of those. Also had a custom made old fashioned , (I wasn't driving !). It was SO good ! Others in the party had the Blood Orange Margarita, the Jala-Pina Marg, and NZ Sauvignon Blanc. All were excellent. So, if you are looking for a special night out, Full dinner, small plates and cocktails or wine, I would highly recommend Pacific Catch - Brea. Also, get to know the GM, Bill. Great guy ! read more

Kailey was an amazing server at the new Brea location! Food was very good quality and delicious.

This place is an A+. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Love this place and I'm so happy it's in Brea

Exactly what this mall needed. We need more fancy and modern upscale design restaurants in this city. The whole mall needs to learn from pacific catch upscale design and implement it. Feels like tulum. We love visiting and eating here. It's very close to Yorba Linda the most up and coming city in OC. Highly recommend read more

Everything was amazing there food was really good the happy hour was really good deal the service was amazing

Wow!!! What a great find. We are sitting at the bar having a drink and the ahi poke appetizer. Frankie our bar tender is awesome. The restaurant is so nice . The service is so great! It's so nice when people look you in the eyes and help you pick out great choices. I can't wait to come back. read more

My wife & I ate here today & had the most amazing food, but had even better service. Our bartender, Angie, was so friendly & informative about the different cocktails & the margaritas tasted exceptional. Our server Frank was equally as amazing, as my wife & I are rather indecisive, so he recommended the sea bass & the skirt steak. Both were absolutely divine. The food was great, but the great service was even better & will have us coming back. read more

My friend and I came in on a Tuesday. It's 50% off wine bottles every Tuesday. They have a great wine selection that I was so happy to see. I had to be convinced to come here because I got it confused with another fish chain. that's more fast food dishes. This place is not fast food!! The indoors is so beautiful. We had appetizers and the food was amazing. The staff is amazing, so friendly and attentive. We're coming back with the husbands on Friday night. I would recommend this place for a group of friends and or hanging out with your hubby. read more
