“Ernie's had amazing food! I have lived in the area for almost 40 years and have never gone there due to the fact they close so early in the day. I can't get there during their hours. However, my friend hosted a private event there, and finally, I was able to eat there. The food was so good!! I seriously am not over exaggerating. You must eat here. Staff was super good too. 5 star restaurant for sure!!!“

“This is a hidden gem in Pasadena! It is a quaint cafe with AMAZING food! My boyfriend and I started with the brisket loaded fries....absolutely delicious! I had the grilled turkey and spinach panini and I added avocado and my boyfriend had the sycamore 2s which came with 2 eggs, 2 of your choice of meat, and 2 pancakes. The pancakes were divine and melted in your mouth. The service was great as well. Our waitress was very attentive even though they had a full house (literally...the cafe is a house ). You have to check this place out. The grounds are beautiful. They also have a bed and breakfast and a wedding venue onsite.“

“Let me just start off with this, I like Chili's 3 for 11 deal.. there are not a lot of places you go to these days where you get an appetizer, entre and a drink for 11.00+/-, good price for the quantity of food items. We went at lunch time- the food tasted good, nothing was undercooked and/or burnt. The server was super attentive, polite and super fast. The only thing I didn't like were the bathrooms-super dark and the first table we were sitting in was sticky. Other than that it was pretty good.“

“Cannot recommend Silver Sycamore enough! Had our wedding there this past April, and everything turned out better than expected. Krista, our wedding coordinator, went above and beyond! Thank you for taking most the stress off my plate and getting everything as organized and beautiful as you did! From planning to our wedding day, Jackie and Krista were always there to answer any questions and get things done! Our guests loved the venue and everything it had to offer. From the ceremony, to the Town and Saloon, to the venue and Bed and Breakfast. Even with rain in the forecast, Krista was giving me updates on how my wedding day would roll out. It really has SO MUCH TO OFFER and more! Not planning an event? Plan to stay at one of their Bed and Breakfasts or plan a breakfast/lunch at their cafe. It’s totally worth it! Thanks again ❤️“
