Made our way to Pacific Social yesterday for a late lunch. Started off by sitting at the bar. Ian was completely engaging and made both esthetic and delicious cocktails. The $7 retro martini menu is unmatched!!! I typically steer FAR away from "well" cocktails, but Ian educated me on Cutwater (Vodka) and I gave it a whirl. Needless to say, I was completely impressed!
We moved to a table in the sunshine for our meal. Our server, Anthony, recommended the chicken wings and artichoke dip for appetizers. Not sure what magic is happening in the kitchen with the wings, but the were so good, that we brought two orders home, so the kids could try them.
Since Anthony hit it out of the park with app recommendations, we asked him for his top picks on entrees: Hot chicken sandwich, Philly Cheesesteak, Salmon, and the steak Cobb salad. What do you order when you can't decide?? Yep...just order all of it!
I cannot believe we were able to get seated without a reservation...the team at Pacific Social is killing it! Lorraine and Sadie both checked on us to ensure that our visit was perfect. I love seeing managers on the floor, keeping a pulse on their guests.
Ian and Anthony-thank you for making our afternoon!! The service was top notch, food incredible, vibes immaculate! This would absolutely be my "Cheers" spot, if it was closer to home. Please bring Pacific Social to the South Bay!!

Food was awful. Everything is frozen. Fries and dumplings taste like they’re bought from home depo. The salmon was bland and the mushrooms added a distasteful pungent odor. Waiter lacked serving skills.

The restaurant is on Caramel valley rd in the pacific highlands ranch. There is a good amount of parking and it is a great place to walk around for desserts or coffee if needed. We went there on a weekend for brunch and the place was not busy as we had gone there fairly early. The server was good and explained our brunch menu well. We had the chilaquiles and the burrito. Both were good. The food was fresh.

Upscale bar food that exceeded expectations. We went for an early dinner and shared the house salad (delicious dressing) and Cesar salad which had a wow factor. The bruschetta was also incredible! Lots of flavor. The crispy chicken sandwich was large and shareable and the Parmesan truffle fries were perfectly crispy. Very much enjoyed our meal.

Food was fantastic. We enjoyed the pretzel sticks and truffle asparagus. The steak freets came out perfectly as ordered. The desserts are a bit overwhelming on the sweetened.
