Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. From the day we opened we've been mindful about where our ingredients come from and how to bring to life the vibrant flavors and feeling of the Pacific. It's our commitment to our guests to keep things interesting, innovative, wholesome and thoughtfully sourced.

    We celebrated Mother’s Day at Pacific Catch and it was a perfect choice. The Crab and Lobster Louie were delicious, and the kids were happy with their California rolls. Pacific Catch is one of our go-to spots in the area for good reason. The quality and value are consistently on point. Highly recommend for a family-friendly meal that never disappoints.

    We were a party of six. Sunday night 6 25 pm reservation. We were seated at a long table in the bar area. The food and service was excellent. We ordered a variety of dishes. Everyone enjoyed their choice. Our main challenge was..we couldn't hear each other speak due to the noise level.
    Pacific Catch Walnut CreekResponded on May 5, 2026
    Kathi, we're so glad your group of six had a great meal and that everyone was happy with their dishes! We really appreciate you letting us know about the noise level in the bar area—we'll share this with our team as we're always looking for ways to make the dining experience more comfortable for our guests. Thanks for choosing our Walnut Creek location!

    We celebrated a birthday and wanted to enjoy Pacific Catch like last time. We had reserved a table online but couldn’t get a booth like last visit. It was not that crowded. The food was good but the service was not. The server was polite but very slow and we had to ask for her several times so we could order our food or get refill on drinks. The order for the five of us was incorrect. It felt like it was her first day of work. Disappointed in the service.
    Pacific Catch Walnut CreekResponded on April 22, 2026
    Fred, we're truly sorry your birthday celebration didn't meet expectations this visit, especially after having such a positive experience with us before. We're glad the food was enjoyable, but we understand how frustrating it is when service and order accuracy fall short of what you deserve. We're sharing your feedback with our team to help us improve, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide the experience you remember.

    My coworker told me about this restaurant, and I thought I'd give it a shot. I brought my husband and my Mom. It was on a Sunday and it was not packed full of people which was nice. They seated us right away. My Mom and I ordered the Fish & Chips. It was sooo good! And my husband ordered the Taco Platter and had the Grilled Chilean Bass Taco (said it was the best fish taco he's ever had), and the Crispy Baja Cod Taco. And that says a lot coming from him because he is an excellent cook and is very picky when he eats at restaurants. I also ordered the Guavarita and it was excellent! We will definitely come back to try other foods on the menu! I highly recommend this restaurant! Great service too!
    Pacific Catch Walnut CreekResponded on April 22, 2026
    Nancy, thanks so much for giving us a try based on your coworker's recommendation! We're delighted you all had such a great meal, from the Fish & Chips to those tacos your husband raved about, plus that Guavarita. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

    I had another fabulous meal at Pacific Catch! Myself and a friend had the Tinga tacos on the lunch menu. They were delicious! So moist and flavorful. I’ve never had a bad meal here. Everything is fresh! And, I walked out without my leftovers. I ran back but they had already been thrown out. My fault. The manager made me another taco free of charge. This is phenomenal customer service. Give this place a try. The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful.
    Pacific Catch Walnut CreekResponded on April 16, 2026
    Sandra, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Tinga tacos and that our manager could help you out with a replacement! We really appreciate you highlighting our team's service and are thrilled you keep coming back to see us. Thanks for being such a loyal guest!

FAQs

Yes, Pacific Catch Walnut Creek is a popular, casual spot for date nights. Guests frequently mention it as a great place for a relaxed evening with tasty seafood, cocktails and outdoor patio seating. Expect a lively, sometimes noisy atmosphere (especially Friday live music or holiday nights), so pick an early weeknight or request a quieter patio table if you prefer a low-key meal.

Portions at Pacific Catch Walnut Creek are generally generous and good for sharing. Guests describe large entree portions (three-piece Fish & Chips, substantial bowls, big rolls) and shareable appetizers and pupu platters. Many mention leftovers or splitting dishes, and the menu also includes smaller ‘half’ or “small bowl” options for lighter appetites.

Pacific Catch Walnut Creek is open Monday–Thursday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, and Friday–Saturday from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. If you plan a holiday visit or special seating, calling ahead is a good idea since guests report occasional holiday hours and special events.

Yes, guests report family-oriented, accommodating service and the staff has helped parties with elderly guests and wheelchair needs. The restaurant offers a variety of seating (patio, booths, bar and large tables) and is used for family celebrations. If you have specific accessibility requirements, call ahead so staff can reserve the best table for your needs.

For a quieter meal, choose weekday lunchtimes, early dinners or Sunday, guests note those are less crowded. If you want energy and live music, go on Friday evenings (Aloha Friday) or holiday nights, but expect higher noise and busier service. Reservations or early seating are recommended for busy weekends and special occasions.

The atmosphere is casual, lively and Pacific-inspired, think beachy West Coast seafood vibes with upbeat Aloha/Friday live music some nights. Guests describe a fun, social scene with a roomy patio, friendly staff and occasional loudness during music or holidays. It’s great for celebrations and casual nights out, but not the place for a whisper-quiet dinner on peak nights.

Casual dress, come comfortable. Guests often dine in relaxed attire for date nights, family meals or casual celebrations, reflecting the restaurant’s casual-dining style and beach-inspired vibe.

Yes, guests frequently report the staff accommodates requests like ingredient swaps, seating preferences and celebratory touches. It’s best to call ahead or note your request on your reservation (e.g., booth, patio, dietary needs, birthday accommodations) so the team can prepare and make your visit smoother.

Yes, families and kids are welcome. Guests frequently celebrate birthdays and family meals here; reviewers mention a kid-friendly menu and accommodating staff. The casual atmosphere and generous portions make it an easy choice for family dining, though note live music nights can be louder.

Busiest: Friday evenings (live music), holidays (Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving reports), and weekend nights. Quietest: weekday lunches, early dinners and some Sunday times. If you prefer calm dining, aim for weekdays or early seatings and reserve in advance for evenings or holidays.

It depends on your goal: choose Tuesday for quieter midweek dining and wine promotions (guests mention half-price bottles), weekday lunches or early dinners for a calmer experience, and Friday evenings if you want live music and a lively atmosphere. For special occasions, book ahead on weekends.

Yes, Pacific Catch is part of a multi-location brand. Guests reference other Pacific Catch locations (e.g., San Francisco, Dublin) and return visits to different sites. If you’re interested in another neighborhood location, check the company website or call to confirm menus and hours.

For a private dining request or larger party, contact the restaurant in advance to discuss availability and options.

Often yes, guests have visited on holidays such as Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day and Christmas Eve and the restaurant has offered special holiday menus. Experiences vary, so call ahead to confirm holiday hours and any special menus or limited-service conditions before you go.

Guests report that dogs are welcomed on the patio, so pet-friendly outdoor seating is available. Service animals are generally permitted by law (not specifically documented here); because rules can vary, call ahead if you have questions about emotional support animals or indoor pet policies.

Yes, the patio is dog-friendly according to guest reports. Many guests enjoy outdoor seating and mention dogs being okay on the patio; for group plans with pets, call ahead to confirm patio availability and any rules.
