A PCH
About This Spot
Stepping into A PCH, you immediately sense a thoughtfully curated atmosphere that strikes a balance between relaxed elegance and casual comfort. Nestled along the Pacific Coast Highway, this spot feels like a welcoming coastal retreat where the day’s pace gently slows, inviting you to unwind in spacious, lounge-worthy seating. The natural light filters in softly, while the hum of friendly chatter weaves seamlessly with attentive service, creating an inviting backdrop for good conversations and shared moments.
The rhythm here encourages lingering—whether it’s early evening drinks or a leisurely dinner. There’s a quiet playfulness to the space, where handcrafted cocktails like an expertly shaken espresso martini or a crisp cosmopolitan feel just as natural as the clink of champagne glasses. The menu embraces this spirit too, offering an array of thoughtfully prepared dishes that encourage sharing and savoring. From vibrant, fresh starters that awaken the palate to heartier, elevated comforts like their celebrated pot pie or delicately seared scallops, each plate feels like a small discovery.
A PCH doesn’t rush you; it invites you to savor the flavors alongside the company you keep. The care taken in both the food and the flow of the evening tends to draw people back—not only for gatherings of celebration but also for those quieter moments when a great meal and a relaxed setting are just what you need. It’s a place that quietly cultivates warmth and connection, where each visit can feel both familiar and gently surprising.

Visited for the first time on a Tuesday around 5:30pm, we were seated right away and the chairs were super comfy and loungy. We ordered drinks for happy hour and everyone enjoyed their drinks! My mocktail was delicious and I loved that it looked like any other cocktail. We ordered our food and unfortunately we did end up waiting about an hour and 15 mins for our food to come out. Not sure why or if it was cause I ordered the Tuesday chicken pot pie, but the food took so loooonggg. My chicken pot pie was good, I think it’s definitely worth a try. It was not a flavor bomb at all- but it had nice texture and the pastry itself was very yummy and soft. The truffle fries were also very delicious. The chicken pot pie is about $32 ? For the atmosphere and vibe of the location I think the price is what it is, you’re in 2nd & PCH and overlooking the marina, but just a heads up that the prices are a bit on the higher side. They also had a free photobooth which was super fun and easy to use. Overall, the service was okay and the timing was off, but we enjoyed ourselves. I would come back and give it another shot!

First time dining here. I kept seeing videos of the pot pies coming up on my social media and had to bring my dad and grandmother for their birthdays to try them. I made a reservation ahead of time and the person who took our reservation was very nice and informative. She took down all of our names and the occasion we were celebrating, also made note that we were interested in the homemade pot pies (pot pies are only served Mondays and Tuesdays at this particular location.) When we arrived the hostess welcomed us all in by name, making us feel special. We were seated promptly in the "outdoor" patio. Its completely covered with views of the boats and los alomitos bay. There were 2 birthday cards displayed on our table for both my dad and grandmother, signed by restaurant staff. Super thoughtful, even the menus said happy birthday at the top! Our server Justin was so friendly and nice! My dad and grandmother both ordered pot pies and I ordered the $40 lunch 3 course meal. We all enjoyed our meals. Afterwards they also served my dad and grandmother both a beautiful plate that said happy birthday written in chocolate with a scoop of ice cream and berries. I had closen the toasted marshmallow ice cream which was served with a warm Carmel sauce. It was soooo good! As we were leaving our server informed us about their free vintage photo booth in the bar area. Such a fun memorable way to end our meal together. The parking ended up costing $6 after we used the 90 free minutes upon arriving. I will definitely be returning for a beautiful cocktail and date night with my husband next!

Service was excellent, but I think the food was a little hit and miss. Hits: Dirty pasta, Fancy pizza, Meatballs, and Grilled cheese with tomato soup. Misses (not totally, just needed something extra for a pop of flavor): branzino - lacked flavor, maybe crispier skin would have helped and cacio e Pepe - lacked flavor. Could have used more cheese? Would we go back, absolutely! Final point. I would have loved to try the chicken pot pie. Wish I never saw on menu as just a Mon/Tues item. That’s all I wanted after seeing it on the menu! Haha.

You're definitely here for the ambiance. It's a nice location, good staff. They were nice, friendly and helpful. I was there when it was not busy though. Ordered the spicy yellowtail tuna app, very delicious, and worth it. The flavors were stacked nicely, giving you a full bodied app. 8.7/10. Ordered the Scottish salmon, don't know why it's Scottish but it's regular tasting salmon. The crunch from the skin was satisfying, the Mexican hash was good but not fantastic. Average dish, 6.3/10. Ordered the chicken picatta and this was not memorable. It was decent and ok with basic flavors. The potato puree was not the right choice but overall not bad. Average dish average rating 5.3/10. The brussel sprouts were under cooked. I can tell they tried but no go, 4.1/10. Overall great place, there's a free picture booth and I live the pics I got from it. Over looking the harbor is fantastic. I would go back but maybe for the burger next time.

This review is particularly about the food that I order and not the whole menu. I had the chicken pot pie that they do the demonstration with. I had the carrots glazed carrots for appetizers and a couple cocktails and they were delicious. There's something that I can go back to and back for again and again and again

5 stars all around. The ambiance is cute and relaxing. Nice view of LB marina. Foodwise its solid. Enjoyed an array of dishes from the menu. Standout dishes: Spicy yellowfin tuna, lobster cobb salad, truffle fries. Love our experience here thanks to our friendly server and food! Dont forget to take photos at the mini photobooth which is a nice touch to the retro mid century vibe.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. The ambiance struck the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that made the evening feel special. From the moment we were seated, the attentive and friendly service elevated the night. The food was nothing short of amazing. I started with the oysters, which were impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. Each one was briny and clean, the perfect start to the meal. The Lobster Cobb Salad was a standout—a colorful and hearty plate packed with flavor. From the creamy avocado and perfectly cooked eggs to the tender lobster, every bite was a combination of fresh ingredients and satisfying textures. We also indulged in a comforting grilled cheese paired with tomato soup. The soup was rich and velvety, and the grilled cheese had that perfect crisp-to-melt ratio—simple, classic, and executed perfectly. The drinks were equally impressive. Thoughtful cocktails and a well-curated drink menu made it easy to enjoy the evening. One highlight was a whiskey served over a branded ice cube, which added a fun and polished touch to the presentation. To top off the night, dessert was both elegant and delicious. A small bowl of creamy vanilla ice cream topped with fresh berries arrived with a lit birthday candle, making the experience feel personal and celebratory. The plate even had a chocolate “Happy Birthday” message, showing the extra attention to detail. Overall, this restaurant delivered on all fronts—flavor, presentation, atmosphere, and hospitality. Whether you’re looking for a spot to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a fantastic meal, this place is a must-visit.
