I have only positive things to say about the food, drinks, and the atmosphere which all deserve 5 stars. However this review is about our waiter (rest of the staff were good). My friend wanted to get the chicken and our waiter tried pushing the Wagyu, claiming the chicken didn’t have flavor. Fine to give recommendations and appreciate the honesty, but it was a bit odd because they are completely different proteins. All good. Then my other friend tried ordering the branzino and the waiter recommended the Dorade, a special not on the menu. Later when we got the bill, I noticed that the Dorade was $75, almost double the cost of the Branzino. After we got our food our waiter was nowhere to be found and we had to ask both for the dessert menu and the check from a different waiter who helped us out. It’s really not about the cost, but the principle… or at least be subtle about it, bro.
This is one of those places, where EVERYTHING was great including the service! Only thing that we would have liked was a bit more ac! We reserved an indoor table however they prop open a side door and it became warm inside. We didn't order cocktails bc we were too warm to drink. But the food was FANTASTIC!
We came here on Sunday brunch sitting on the outdoor patio. The food was delicious, service was good and the atmosphere was nice. I tried happy hour before, it was a great place to hangout with friends.
One of the best nights of my life. The most romantic interior. A house-like building with a real fireplace decorated with oil lanterns and stone accents. We got the bread + butter platter to start. Then we ordered the ‘cauliflower steak’ and the truffle bolognese. WOW! The food here was just top tier. The drinks were incredible. The service was so excellent and the entire evening could not have been more perfect. Tip - Go for dinner/drinks & sit inside!
There are very few happy hour places in South Pasadena that you could call a trendy upscale bar. Well this is one. Even if technically it is in Pasadena it is right over the border of South Pasadena & Pasadena. This place is an amazing historic old hotel and two out door areas for drinks & food. Amazing selections across the board. Just be there early if you want to sit outside. On those cold nights they do have an indoor bar too.
