Reviews of Pacifica Restaurant
L.Always a wonderful experience here. We had the seated 5 course seafood menu with wine match. Lovely staff who take the time to explain the wines and how they pair with the food and also explain the food. Every was seasoned to perfection.
H.Can't wait to return, food was fabulous, service was exceptional. A fine dining experience without pretention; must do experience!
A.When food is done right. It's perfect, and tonight was PERFECT.
I've been to Napier a few times and I was recommended by many of my foodie friends to try Pacifica, thankfully, my bestie managed to get us a early booking for a table of four. We arrived on time to be greeted with sparkly eyes (as the wait staff were all masked) we were swept away to a cosy table in the middle of the restaurant. I could see the head chef between the weaved partitions of the simple yet unpretentious decor which hang comfortably in a sort of Vale type setting. It was humming and the vibe was perfect for a post Xmas dinner. We had two wait staff both very different in personality but equally professional and absolutely delightful. Three out of four of us decided to do the seafood degustation one the meat degustation, all with wine matches (in the most beautiful glassware). The wait staff were incredibly wonderful when Introducing each dish and each wine match, with both ease and detail without the fuss. Every dish was magnificent and the pairings (most locally) were equally as divine. This place really is special, I loved that the owner/head chef was in the kitchen carefully orchestrating his dishes seamlessly and effortlessly, something you rarely see in a restaurant. There was a sort of reverence about this place, a nostalgic comforting air about it. At $130 (wine pairing incl) this was an absolute steal for such an incredible degustation. I will definitely be back to try more wonderful dishes in the near future. KA PAI PACIFICA thank you.
E.Booked a table at this restaurant in advance and have to say their menu surprised me quite a bit. The chef loved using flavoured food foam in 2/4 dishes in its 4 course menu. You can pick either a seafood or meat direction for their menu. I chose the seafood direction and they all tasted fabulous. The portion size is just enough for a person, which I thought this is a great balance personally since I don't like the feeling of getting too full after a meal. In terms of ingredients, very normal but somehow the chef uses its creativity to elevate the ingredients to a level of fine dining. In terms of flavour, I know their menu is seasonal but it seems that there are a lot of Asian inspired flavours (e.g. Miso, soy sauce, dashi, coconut spiced curry etc). Give it a good if you ever stop by Napier. Just need to book in advance.
W.Visited recently to partake in the seafood degustation, sadly without matching wines as I was the driver. If you are in Napier and love seafood, this is where to go!
T.What a treat!
I loved everything about Pacifica: the atmosphere was relaxed; the staff were welcoming, hugely knowledgeable and passionate; both menus were surprising and delicious with amazing pairings to elevate them further.
I couldn't recommend the experience enough!
A.This was the second time I tried a set menu / fancy dining with degustation menu. The staff were very accommodating even though I arrived unbooked and late and managed to get me a seat and t he whole experience.
The fine dinning experience is expensive in general.
This place was doing a seafood menu and was 70$ so kind of cheaper than places. Total 100$ with the drinks.
The menu as below was pretty nice and I really liked the Parmesan foam. Never had it before.
Overall this place was definitely 4-4.5 and the considering seafood, it was probably worth the money. Taste was definitely 5. The staff were very attentive and I enjoyed..
However a once off experience for occasions .
R.If you like seafood and you are in Napier. Do yourself a favour and book a table here. The meals are divine and they are beautifully presented. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.
S.If you are in Napier and love great food, you owe it to yourself to head to Pacifica!
The food, the wine and the service is first class.
The seafood here is always amazing.
