What a wonderful experience. I had the duck, my wife had the scallops. Both were excellent. The whole atmosphere is what puts it over the top though. The owner came and checked in on us, talked about where they source ingredients, and some history. A+

OMG! This place was AMAZING! I had lunch here for a private birthday party and have never had such delicious food. The soup was smooth and creamy and beautifully presented. The salad was,.well, salad. The main entree consisted of butcher's cut steak, mashed potatoes, and asparagus an every single bite sparkled. The steak was perfectly cooked. The potatoes melted in your mouth, and the asparagus was al dente...cooked thoroughly but still maintained a slight crunch.
I was a guest for this lunch but if I had to pay for it I wouldn't have been able to afford it. We're a middle class family and it's very high-end. White tablecloths, fantastic service, and incredible food.

Eye watering good food. Not cheap, but worth it. I have never had better meat ( rack of lamb, and Chateau Briand ). One of my favorite places. Go there now....

Amazing food and outstanding service. The best I’ve had in LA. Our waiter William was very attentive and the owner Robert made a point to make us very special on our anniversary. 10/10 would go back. We got the duck and it was delicious.

Forty Five Bistro is a hidden gem. The food is fantastic, and the service is always warm and attentive. I've had a consistently great experience every time I've visited, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a welcoming atmosphere.

Bistro 45 is one of those special gems: Amazing food, relaxed ambiance, and great service.
We had dinner here for a special occasion, and it was exactly what we were looking for. The food was all perfectly prepared. It's fancy without fuss.
A few things to call out:
You must get the Chocolate Soup. (You might actually want to get two so you don't have to share.)
The bacon that came with our Brussels sprouts was memorable enough to get a line to itself in this review. (I would go back just for the bacon!)
Don't pass up the specials. I had the Cod which had been caught the day before off the coast of Santa Barbara.
Food was disgusting, only eat here if Taco Bell is closed :/

Very fine dining, the food, service and atmosphere were impeccable! Pet friendly with a well-behaved pet is welcome, in which seating will be in an enclosed patio. Call for reservations, and also let them know if you are bringing your pet.

Really lovely restaurant in a not too busy area of Pasadena. Service was exceptional and truly felt like fine dining. Very diverse menu of food and we enjoyed everything from the Octopus to the Hangar Steak and Pork Chop.

We threw a party for 50+ people on the heated patio. It was a wonderful event. The owner and staff could not have been nicer and more professional. The food was very tasty. It was a perfect venue for our event!
