Beloved Steakhouse Closing After 30 Years In Historic Pacifica Building

PACIFICA, CA — The historic Pacifica building that houses a renowned steakhouse is soon to see the restaurant close its doors.

After 30 years of serving the Pacifica community, Vallemar Station Restaurant & Bar will be closing its doors.

Housed in a 1905 railroad building, this restaurant and bar has been owned and operated by the Ash family since 1996. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including steak, seafood, sandwiches, burgers, and pasta.

“Rising costs, slower seasons, and the financial strain many small businesses are facing have made it extremely difficult to survive. Like so many local restaurants, we are struggling to keep up in these hard economic times,” the restaurant’s Facebook account posted.

"The Ash family has been deeply honored to serve Pacifica for 30 years. This restaurant has never just been about food — it’s been about community. It’s been about knowing your name when you walk in, celebrating your milestones, and being a place you could count on," the statement reads.

They stated while their menu may become limited as they approach their closing, they hope to fill these final weeks with the same joy, excellent food and great drinks that have defined their 30 years in business.

"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Pacifica. Thank you for supporting a local, family-run restaurant through the good years and the hard ones," the statement reads.

Though the official closing date is still unconfirmed, the family has indicated online that they anticipate remaining open for another month or two.
