My first thought was, "wow, this place is cozy..." It's a beautiful spot to be sure, but it's also comfortable. The food is great for South Pasadena, but only acceptable for LA. What sets this place apart is the beer on draft. The selection is on par with the hippest places in LA. It's a real oasis in Pasadena. The place expresses an air of luxury without any pretentious attitude. So why did I not give it a 5 ???? rating. Well, it's the loneliness that comes from not having a happy hour or any special pricing that makes drinking here sustainable. Also the barkeep is not your friend. When you're drinking a fancy beer, it's incumbent on the bar tender to help you with the experience. This place offers a great selection of beer on tap, but one needs a guide. Food is decent, but the service needs some work. I'll be back, so get your ducks in row please. I want this place to succeed...
A very nice restaurant/bar located in South Pasadena. The food is great and the service is good, but the happy hour prices were the best part. I recommend trying the brick chicken. The sauce is awesome.
Very cozy atmosphere to have family dinner, friends, couples. They have 16 kinds of beer on tap and good wines. I liked DIPA and IPA beer. My family liked pear and bacon salad, asian fusion chicken, mussels with tomato sauce, Ceviche, fusion Gnocchi with white sauce. We liked dessert: bread pudim with icecream, cream brûlée, chocolate tart, Italian Pudding. If you have question about beer ask for Japanese guy to get information.
I was happy with the service, atmosphere and food here. Friendly and attentive staff. The place had a very earthy, open, light and bright vibe. For Sundays, if you go out, sometimes, you need a place where you can roll out of bed and transition smoothly over for a good meal and just chill. A place where time stops and you can unwind in peace or enjoy your company naturally for brunch. This is one of the places where I achieved that. The food was very satisfactory and filling. All in all, I was in a good place enjoying my friends over a good meal. And that's all you need to start on a Sunday.
We went with a few friends for a birthday brunch and we were all happy excited about the results. The environment is adorable and the weather was perfect for the patio. The drinks were great and the food was perfection. They had the perfect combination of sweet and savory and the lemon scone was delicious. We will be back soon !
