“AltaEats offers a culinary journey with highs and lows. This was my second visit to AltaEats. The first time was a 5 out 5. This visit offered inconsistency in both food and service. The salads (burrata and caesar) at AltaEats were a standout, offering fresh and flavorful combinations. Make sure to the delicious bacon-wrapped dates; a delightful blend of sweet and savory. The rib eye was okay. It didn't quite live up to our expectations. The bread & butter and pot de creme were both delicious. We fought over the lest bits of the desert. The service was a mixed. One waitress, notably wearing a provocative necklace, left much to be desired in terms of friendliness and professionalism. On the other hand, the second waitress provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience AltaEats offers a culinary adventure with standout dishes and a mix of service experiences. Your experiences may vary. They did for me.“

Old Towne Pub Bar • $
66 N Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena

“Old Towne Pub RULES. Ignore any reviews that say otherwise. If people don't like it, they're simply lame, and you don't want to hang out with them anyway. Why does OTP rule? Because it's a throwback in time to the 90s rock and bar scene, with live music most night s, no damn TVs playing sports, a huge beer selection (so you can get a crappy cheap beer if you want...which we all do at times, or you can get a top notch craft beer too if you want). The look and feel inside this place and on their awesome patio is just so unusual for the Los Angeles area. Reminds me of great bars from my college days. And the fact that there are live bands and people who appreciate that live music and cheer and applaud the bands, and even do a little dancing sometimes, just warms my heart. Again: OTP RULES!“

The chef likes to change up the menu frequently and there are some favorites that are always there. I love the tuna tartare tacos. But he also makes duck confit, bouillabaise, bone marrow. Their happy hour is great where you can have a taste of lots of fabulous small plates. If you like oysters, there is always a selection of very fresh offerings. Love this place!!“

“The food was good, though I recommend they make the nachos look a little more like they are on the picture! Mine was a huge mush of chips and gooey stuff. Aside from this, I want to call out Aiden. My son had left his name badge for the ACDA honor choir in his seat. And while going to a restaurant and getting your lost and found items is not uncommon, mine was a little more involved. The name badge wasn't upfront with the other name badges that had been left by other participants, nor was it in the booth where we had been sitting. Apparently, it had been thrown away! Aiden found it, and, before handing it to me, said, "let me sterilize this for you." He then went and personally cleaned the entire thing to make sure it was OK and handed it to me. Thanks for bailing us out and for going above and beyond Aiden! Woot!“

“Love how you can buy food from Whole Foods salad bar and come in and enjoy it at Shuffle Bar. It's connected to Whole Foods, so it makes sense. It's never crowded, and there's a decent size t.v where you can watch sports games and get a cold adult beverage.You can order food from the Shuffle Bar menu as well. It might be a better option, especially for hot items. It will be served warm and fresh.“

He took the time to listen what our preference was in a beer and brought over a couple taster so that we can decide on what we wanted to drink. His recommendations were great! He also recommended the asada fries which I am so happy we got because they were delicious! We will definitely be coming back!Parking: Lots of free parking, hard to find in Pasadena“

Their food in general is really good, their tapas too!, definitely recommend you to try their empanadas. We have been there around 5 times, the DJs are not the same as they rotate them, but they all play good music and keep the party going.“
