After nearly ten straight years of hard work, Pacifica Seafood Restaurant’s kitchen is about to experience a transformation. What once was “state of the art” will be replaced with what is “state of the art” now. The flooring will be ripped out and a new floor product will be installed that provides comfortable support for cooks standing on it for many hours while they work. The new floor will eliminate the need for the standard thick, heavy floor pads that restaurants install to absorb the pressure on feet, legs, and backs – and which have to be hauled out of the kitchen regularly for cleaning.

Since all of the kitchen equipment will have to be moved off of the floor for the new installation, Pacifica will be closed from August 22nd through August 30th, and reopen on August 31st. Four new refrigeration units will be installed in the process.

“We’ve remodeled the dining rooms and patio over the years,” notes Managing Partner, Mitch Epstein, “but never had to close the restaurant during the process. Without a kitchen, we’re going to have to close for the week.” Pacifica does not serve lunch during the summer months. Lunch service will return in October as usual.
