Cafe Pacific – Dallas’ Timeless Seafood & Fine Dining Destination
Located in the heart of Highland Park Village, Cafe Pacific has been a Dallas dining institution for decades, delivering exceptional seafood, prime steaks, and a refined atmosphere that keeps loyal patrons returning year after year. Known for its classic yet contemporary approach, the restaurant effortlessly blends Southern hospitality with the elegance of a coastal fine dining experience.
The dining room exudes understated sophistication — crisp white tablecloths, warm lighting, and an inviting ambiance that makes it just as suited for business lunches as it is for celebratory dinners. Service at Cafe Pacific is a point of pride, with a polished, attentive staff who anticipate needs and ensure each guest feels valued.
Seafood is the star of the menu, with offerings like fresh Gulf oysters, Chilean sea bass, Alaskan halibut, and lobster tail consistently earning praise. The restaurant’s meticulous sourcing ensures top-quality fish and shellfish, while the kitchen’s skill in preparation brings out the natural flavors. For non-seafood lovers, prime cuts of beef and creative poultry dishes round out the selection.
The lunch menu offers lighter fare such as fresh salads and crab cakes, while dinner service leans into richer plates and seasonal chef specials. An impressive wine list curated to complement both surf and turf ensures that every meal can be paired perfectly.
Cafe Pacific also accommodates dietary preferences with gluten-free and vegetarian options available upon request. Guests can enjoy 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM service Monday through Saturday, with a slightly earlier closing at 9:00 PM on Sundays. Reservations are encouraged, especially for weekend evenings when the dining room sees its highest traffic.
Parking is convenient, with street and garage options throughout Highland Park Village — guests should check posted signage for time limits and rates. For private events, the restaurant offers elegant spaces and prix-fixe menus, making it a sought-after venue for celebrations, corporate gatherings, and intimate receptions.
Whether you’re stopping in for a leisurely lunch, celebrating a milestone, or simply craving impeccably prepared seafood, Cafe Pacific remains a gold standard in Dallas dining — a place where tradition meets excellence every time.
