This was our first time to visit Pacific Seafood.
There was no one at the host stand when we walked in, we were not too sure if it was a seat yourself or wait to be seated. The guests were staring at us, we noticed a few waitstaff walking around then we were finally greeted and told to sit wherever we want. Annie was our server, she let us know that it was her second week to be there. I asked for a drink menu which took a while to get and it wasn't even up to date. Another server came over to us to ask if we had ordered, we let her know that we were waiting on a drink menu, we waited..... finally received the menu, all I wanted to do was glance at the wine selections, but the options were Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanch, and chard. No brands, so you don't really know what you're exactly drinking. Annie dropped the menu and walked off. Came back later, said she was helping with delivery, came back to several tables. She had two one tops and my husband and I.
Finally was able to order our drinks, ordered two appetizers at the same time.
Appetizers, two of the six oysters had a lot of shell on them. The shrimp campechana was spicy, had a lot of diced shrimp, but wasn't served with chips or crackers. I guess you just spoon it and eat it? If that's the case, serve it with a spoon. Chips would've been a nice touch. We both agreed that we wouldn't be ordering that again.
Dinner: we ordered a house salad to split, asked for that to come out before our dinner, but that didn't happen. We actually thought that Annie forgot to put it in. The other server who asked us if we had been helped actually brought it out and said that it was sitting in the window waiting to go out.
We ate the salad, it was good. Our dinner was very hot, so letting it cool off while eating our salad was fine.
I had the fried catfish and shrimp combo. They had the right amount of crunch and flavor! The steak fries were crunchy too, but lacked seasoning.
Husband ordered the catfish dinner, Annie said that she didn't even know that was an option to order because no one has ever ordered it. We were confused but hopeful. Our dinners made up for the lack of service we received.
They did have several tv's in the large dining area, but none of them were on. Not sure what that is about.
Will we be back? Ehhhh... maybe, but not right away. read more
