 A perennial favorite on the Del Mar scene, Pacifica offers gorgeous coastal views, outdoor dining, great people-watching and fresh California cuisine from chef Chris Idso. A complete remodel has made the interior airier and more modern. We love the wall-size wine bank and open kitchen. Not surprising in a restaurant whose name includes two ocean-related words, seafood is a great choice, including the spicy scallop ceviche and the milder soy-glazed, pan-roasted sea bass with baby bok choy and green curry-coconut rice. Grazers will love the sampling plates; our favorites are the clever rock shrimp corn dog with mustard butter and the intensely flavored Wagyu orange-ginger-teriyaki beef skewers. This is a terrific place for budding epicureans too, with a kids' menu that boasts a petit filet mignon, grilled salmon and tiger shrimp with honey dipping sauce. Those with a serious sweet tooth should steer towards the mocha semifreddo with white chocolate-espresso mousse and homemade toffee crunch.
