"The Family Vibe at Pacific Catch"
I started working at Pacific Catch 9th Ave. about 5 months ago. I really wanted to find a place with a comfortable yet professional atmosphere, good people to work with, and happy customers. I’m so glad I found it here. The family vibe at Pacific Catch is what intrigues me and it’s real, because customers feel it too. Lot’s of regulars bring in the whole family, and groups of friends share...

The weather could not have been lovelier for the morning our Pacific Catch employees spent gardening in Golden Gate Park! Upon our arrival at the clearing bordered by 7th Avenue and Lincoln Blvd, the trees were encircled with weeds and high grass, and the area was overgrown with excess foliage in general. James, our park liaison, had chosen this particular spot for us, just two blocks away from...

Every day I come to work looking forward to another day of taking care of our fantastic guests. Most of the time, I get to exchange pleasantries with regulars as well as first time guests, but I rarely get to feel like I have been part of a real “moment” with them.

Tales of the 9th Ave Lost & Found
As a lover of all animals, big and small, it is always a little bit painful for me to inform our guests that they must leave their four-legged friends at the door when entering our restaurant - with the exception of service dogs, of course. The chore of banishing adorable creatures from our establishment reached a new low late last week when I spotted what appeared to be a cat, curled up on a...

I got to work on Saturday 4/3/10 and saw the big line at the Apple Store and was inspired…There were at least 25 people standing outside waiting to get in for the big launch.

Tales of the 9th Ave. Lounge- You came here to...
The couch in our Pacific Catch lounge area, though it may technically qualify as a love seat, is not the equivalent of the plush velvet couch in your private penthouse suite! Now, I’m not trying to outright knock public displays of affection; if you are so urgently inclined to express your desire that you don’t mind making a public spectacle out of yourself in a family restaurant. The issue...

Warm Weather on Chestnut- Grab a Beer & Some Poke
The past few weeks have been gorgeous in San Francisco. The heavy fog that usually blankets the Marina is nowhere to be found and the sun has actually been giving off a little bit of warmth instead of its usual icy brightness. And to top it off, the wind that comes howling off the bay has decided to plague another SF neighborhood for a few days and leave the Marina gust-free. It’s really...

# 10. Free parking, in a lot, with no meters
Feeding the meter in the Marina costs more than lunch these days.

None of this sitting on the sidewalk stuff

As Marketing Manager of Pacific Catch, I think it’s an important part of my job to get out there and “connect” with the neighborhoods where our restaurants are located.
Yes last Monday was the most beautiful day we had had in months, but going to Golden Gate Park was official “research and development” business. The California Academy of Science is within walking distance of our 9th Ave location...

the spirit of the canvas cafe lives on
Many people loved the Canvas Café, the “community center” of the Inner Sunset. When Pacific Catch set up shop in its place 2 years ago, some boycotted and even wrote us in protest. What many don’t know, is that Keith Cox, owner of Pacific Catch, and Matt Blair, owner of Canvas Café, have been friends for years and the change of hands was mutually beneficial for both parties.

Pacific Catch Host Plays Cupid on Valentine's Day
Davar, a host at our 9th Ave location, was reconfirming Valentine reservations on the 13th when he noticed a guest made a note that they wanted a single rose on the table upon arrival. The next day on his way to work, Davar took it upon himself to pick up a beautiful, long stem, red rose to make sure the guest’s wish was granted. Davar’s actions show that he truly understood the importance...

Recently I went out to breakfast with my family. There were four adults and my 8-month-old son. It was a small place that was crowded, so I understood having to wait. We stood on the sidewalk staring down at the people seated at the large table in the secluded window. That table seemed like the perfect spot for a family that wouldn’t be intrusive to the other guests. As a parent who works in the...
