"My first time here. Celebrating my brother’s retirement. The crabmeat cocktail impressed me the most. The drinks were super. So was the Zin I had with dinner. The service was very good but I would not say exceptional. I ordered the soufflé moments after I sat down as I read online one needs to do if this is the dessert you desire at the end of your meal. When that time came and I mentioned it to the waiter, it appeared he did not make a note of it or write it down and had a pained look on his face. That did not make me a happy camper. However, within 2 3 minutes, a marvelous soufflé was delivered to me. It was fantastic! My steak was done perfectly but it was definitely too salty. My brother also had his steak prepared the same way as mine and it was the same cut – but his was rare to be sure, and not medium rare. He’s more kickback than I am so he did not want to send it back. However, I don’t expect that to happen at a steakhouse of this caliber. Also, I had wanted to order their peppercorn sauce to go along with my steak. I forgot to mention it but I wished our server would’ve asked me if I wanted one of their many sauces to go along with my steak. That would’ve jarred my memory. Too bad he didn’t.The side dishes were fantastic, especially the creamed spinach. I will probably revisit again sometime soon. But there is a lot of competition in Pasadena for fine dining. Also, had to wait 15 minutes for the valet to park the car. That was definitely not a plus. And this was a Thursday night."

"Table prepared on time. Nice, friendly welcoming. Good service. Knowledgeable waiter. Barman listened and prepared my drink exactly to my taste. Good food. Nice presentation. The only “surprise “ was the fact that the restaurant doesn’t have fresh “ half and half “ for coffee. You have this 1/2 &1/2 in the little containers. Thank you."

"Small,quiet, Beautiful inside! I went for breakfast and had the pork chop they prepared it amazingly. I would have expected it to be more expensive for such a nice presentation. And it's only $3 more than waffle house but 3x better. $8 mimosas but they bring you the small bottle of champagne with the drink (8oz I think)! I'd highly recomend comming here on slower off hours dont know how busy it gets during prime hours but I'd call ahead as I'd assume it'd be packed( ~40 seats)"

"I've eaten here several times and I've sampled lots of items from the menu, and I can say every meal has been awesome. The cornbread appetizer hits the spot. It has a crumb topping that is just sweet enough without being too sweet. The pot pie is quality comfort food and big enough for 2 people to share. The dining room isn't huge but there are a few tables out front on Lake Avenue and a few more tables in a small bamboo-ensconced courtyard patio behind the restaurant. And there's a fireplace in the courtyard. You'll see people walking in and out of the rear entrance, but the courtyard is a great setting for a meal."
