Fine Dining Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

“Visited Bistro 45 for the first time tonight to celebrate my husband and my 15th anniversary after reading positive reviews. The food and service were exceptional. Every dish was cooked perfection and was super flavorful. The gazpacho was so complex and delicious. The calamari was so tender with the most unctuous spicy tomato ragu. My chicken and my husband’s pasta were both stunning. And the pineapple upside down tart with coconut gelato was unbelievably good. They made a special presentation of our dessert to celebrate our anniversary too. Our waiter was funny and attentive, and the owner made a personal visit to our table at least twice. This was possibly one of the best meals my husband and I have had in years. We cannot wait to return.“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“Great service and everyone treats you like family!! Hands down one of my favorite restaurants and thank you Paulina.❤️🥰“

“Amazing experience all around. This was our 2nd time visiting The Cicada and it's truly a hidden Los Angeles gem. The room is spectacular, the band and singers were incredible, and the food and service are top notch. Overall, just a unique step back in time and wonderful evening!“

“Niku X is definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in LA. The food is incredible—A5 Wagyu, king crab, and even tomahawk steak. Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything was so good🤩 The sea bass really stood out for me—so tender and flavorful. And the desserts? Amazing. The sesame cake, in particular, was a surprise hit. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is modern and spacious, which makes it really comfortable, and the service was excellent. If you’re into seafood or Wagyu, this place is a must-try. Definitely worth a visit!👍🏻“

“Array 36 is a solid choice for high end Chinese food in Los Angeles. While most of the dishes are Shanghainese, there are many good choices from other cuisines, including Peking duck. The ambience is modern, with dark lighting, so definitely not what you typically find in your Chinese restaurant in the US.We like it particularly for hosting guests, Chinese and non-Chinese alike.“

“Very elegant, food is delicious, hospitality is A+++, the vibe is at 💯“

“This was such a fun & tasty experience. The food was well prepared and cocktails were to my liking. My absolute happy moment was the duck taco. It had amazing balance of flavors, a good crunch & a little messy. The bonus civiche was nice and acidic. The honeycomb on the dessert was a nice & sweet way to end the evening.

Anyone looking for a unique experience? This just may be it!“
