This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pacifica Del Mar serving the community high atop its Del Mar Plaza perch. It’s a feat many restaurants will never achieve, and one of the things that makes Pacifica Del Mar such a special place to dine.
Last year, the ocean view seafood restaurant welcomed back longtime Chef and Partner, Chris Idso. The tenured chef is kicking off the new year with a 30th Anniversary Tasting Menu.
The seasonal menu will showcase a variety of small plates, offering a taste of Idso’s talents.
First course options include options like Hamachi Carpaccio with pickled bean sprouts, yellow pepper coulis, shaved radish and kazami wasabi and Blue Lump Crab Cake.
Move on to the second course and choose between plates like Zinfandel Braised Short Rib or Seared Atlantic Sea Scallops with heirloom cauliflower, cauliflower puree and pickled raisins.
Lastly, end on a sweet note with dessert or a glass of bubbly to toast to Pacifica’s 30th. The 30th Anniversary Tasting menu is available nightly and must be order before 6pm. The cost is 3 tastes for $30.
Bubbly Around the Clock returns in 2019, with a stellar lineup. Every Tuesday, glasses of premium bubbly start at $4 at 4pm, and go up $1 every hour until 8pm. Cheers to that!
