New Menu for Spring

Coming through one of California's coldest winters in years was challenging! Many fruits and vegetables took a beating, but now with the change of seasons, an exciting and savory new spring/summer menu awaits your dining pleasure at Pacifica.

Dinner will showcase mouthwatering small "amuse" tasting-type items as [insert examples]. I am also thrilled to bring you pick of the season-influenced entrees like Fresh Northern Halibut, one of my personal favorites to work with, because it is a delicate fish that always inspires me to create an extraordinarily delectable dish.

Along with a blend of our most popular signature items you have come to enjoy, you'll also want to experience some of our new surprise dishes like Lemon Grass Seared Yellow Fin Tuna with Chile Ponzu, and Petrale Sole Papuettes, filled with Maine Lobster meat and White Port Butter! You'll even find a "non-seafood" item like Grilled Petite Lamb Chops with a Moroccan inspired Chile Rub is a great teaser to start.

Our dessert menu will reflect fresh seasonal changes too, but include perennial favorites like Burnt Cream Pacifica, as well as such innovative new additions as Chef's Mocha Semifreddo, too decadent to describe with words—you must taste it!

We look forward to bringing you a warm and wonderful season of many favorite and new gastronomic pleasures. And, with daylight savings time now upon us, you can enjoy expanded oceanview dining, followed by unforgettable sunsets overlooking the Pacific high above Del Mar. We invite you to dine often, and dine well with us at Pacifica!
