Cafe Pacific

This Highland Park Village seafood institution has been serving the city's créme de la créme for over thirty years. The setting is elegant, the vibe is sophisticated and the menu features everything you'd expect from a place like this. There's escargot bourguignon, Ossetra caviar and fresh lobster flown in daily from Nova Scotia. Less decadent options include dishes such as grilled Texas Gulf snapper and pan-seared Diver scallops over mushroom risotto. Easier on the wallet is the lunch menu where you can find everything from crab Louie salad to lobster rolls and seafood crepes. The pecan ball is a must for dessert.
