   Food needs help, used to be better, something changed. Pricing way too high for food quality. Service was good

   Pescada is definitely a place we will return to for another date night. Service was outstanding and the food was wonderful. Save room for dessert because the key lime pie was the best we ever had

   Our first visit to Pescada will not be our last! Very friendly staff from the minute we walked in the door. The dinner was amazing with each bite from Caesar salad to Seafood paella, Alaskan halibut and the Hot chocolate panna cota was a WOW in each bite! Our server Lisa was wonderful. She explained the menu and gave her recommendations. This is one of our new favorite restaurants!!!

   We had high hopes for Pescada, but the experience was disappointing from start to finish. We were seated on the patio which, while pleasant, didn’t match the prices they charge—no linens besides napkins, a completely bare table, and an overall feel more like a casual café than a high-end restaurant. We ordered two appetizers, but they came out spaced far apart, and then the steak tartare arrived much later. It tasted overwhelmingly like anchovies (they did comp it, which we appreciated). Service overall was incredibly slow—it took over an hour to get our food. My son ordered the scallop dinner, and it came with only three very small scallops—definitely more of an appetizer than a proper entrée. Not worth the wait or the price.

   Looked forward to our first time at this restaurant but sadly was disappointed. Positives: nice ambiance and attentive service. Negatives: rice in paella was overcooked and paste-y; seafood was also overcooked. Fish in fritto misto was sparse, more vegetables than fish. Arizona citrus salad was good. Apple bourbon gelato tasted nothing like apple or bourbon.

    Having dined at Pescada several times with their excellent food & service I was disappointed with the Paella. The seafoods where good but the rice was like Spanish rice, tomatoey & runny. I had expected a crisp slightly browned rice (soccarrat) served throughout Spain in my numerous travels. It should be improved or banished from the menu.
