We were on the lookout for a great spot to celebrate my wife's recent work successes, and she had her eye on Pacific Standard Prime, especially after seeing the stellar Yelp reviews.
Our evening began with a warm welcome from Christina at the host stand. We were seated in a cozy booth with comfortable high-back seats and decorative extenders that provided a semi-private atmosphere. The restaurant's decor was charming, featuring elegant chandeliers and a wooden trellis ceiling. The white color scheme, accented by stylish green plant motifs on the walls and beams, created a fresh ambiance. A standout feature was the impressive wine wall, which added to the overall appeal. Plus, they passed my bathroom cleanliness test--an essential for any place aiming for five stars!
For those just wanting drinks, the well-stocked bar had televisions, and that night they were airing the ALCS, where the Yankees triumphed over the Guardians, 8-6.
You will get a few menus when you first sit down. They have an enormous whisky menu, which happens to be a favorite of mine.
One of the evening's many highlights was our waiter, Seth, who was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also had a fantastic personality. When the owner, Kevin, stopped by to check on us, he described Seth as "dinner, AND A SHOW." We definitely enjoyed the show--great job, Seth, we enjoyed dining with you.
Now, onto the food, which truly impressed. Chef Christine deserves applause for her culinary skills. For appetizers, we shared the Wedge salad, which was crisp and topped just right. The star of the show was the incredible country bread served with infused butter. Kevin explained the FRESH, bread-making process, and you could truly taste the difference--it was divine.
For our main courses, my wife had the 8oz Wanderer Filet Mignon, cooked perfectly to her liking, while I savored the Cioppino, brimming with the ocean's treasures. The broth was delightful, complemented by three delicious pieces of bread.
For beverages, I enjoyed a martini, and my wife loved her scratch-made PSP cocktail. We capped off the meal with the sticky toffee pudding, which was the perfect sweet ending.
In summary, if you're considering Pacific Standard Prime, don't hesitate. My wife felt we celebrated her achievements beautifully. Kudos to the entire staff at PSP for creating something truly special!
