New American Restaurants in Pasadena, CA

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“ITS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT,DRINK, AND LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC 5 DAYS A WEEK!!“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“Really fabulous experience. We were visiting and stumbled upon this place by accident because the smell caught our nose. Service was great, and the chef was excellent and kind. He does a rotating menu based on the seasons so ingredients are seasonal and very fresh. The dishes were refreshing, flavorful, interesting and not too heavy. We ordered the waldorf salad, grilled sourdough (so good), tuna crudo, aguachile, and risotto (amazing). Wanted to try the griddle cake but they were out. Also you must get the strawberry shortcake for dessert if its in season, we ate it so quick and savored every bite. Thank you to the team at Holy Saints, we’ll be back!“

“Love this place. We had Thanksgiving dinner here, with a special menu, so weren't able to sample the regular selection as much. But if crab cakes are part of the regular menu: they are amazing. Service was also top notch. Will gladly come again if we find ourselves in the area in the future.“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“Absolutely insane. Chicken was extremely flavorful, juicy, crispy n spicy, all the same time. Asked the guy if 3 fingers would be enuf for me, he said it was small, so I ordered combo #4, 6 fingers. Boy, they r massive and come with a tub of fries, couldn’t finish them all, could only eat abt 5. But it was top notch taste, probably top 2 chicken I ever ate.
And yea, the spicy flavor is spicy enuf; don’t get it if u r lightweight. If u want supreme, u have to sign a waiver. ?“

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“Great food and service. Loved the the rooftop dining!“

“Great food, casual atmosphere and outdoor space where the kids can run around. Validated parking for 75 minutes in the playhouse parking structure as well. Great to stop by Vromans or the zero waste store across the street if you need to rub a quick errand also.“

“I've been going to Yard House in Mission Valley for years and this is our first time at this location. They had a fairly busy turn out due to the fact that most diners were there waiting for the taping of America's Got Talent. We ordered 2 things and our food came quickly. The staff is polite, bathrooms are clean and food was good. You can park in the garage and they validate your parking.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“Excellent food, great service and environment. Feels homey with gourmet cuisine. Consistently great, we come here about once a month. Drinks are excellent too. Thank you.“

“Comfortable and easy to get to, The Mixx has great folks taking care of you - the best bartender in all of SoCal, Carlos, who will mix you any concoction (the drinks menu is quite extensive and Carlos does not disappoint). Owner Ed is always around to make sure you have a great time, too. Food is quite good (sweet potato fries is a personal favorite). And there is always some entertainment going on: comedy wednesdays (free!), tuesday salsa, live music on weekends. It’s a great place to hang and watch the game (we were there for Super Bowl) or just cill and enjoy music and the vibes.“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.“

“Always an amazing time here. Been coming to this location for years now. Service is second to none and food is delicious.“

“Holy cow I can't say enough wonderful things about AltaEats. Discovered them through their pandemic-era Roasties (cooked food to take home and eat) and we're still doing it with them now. The potatoes and green beans were so good last night (heaping portions!) that there were none leftover this morning for breakfast. The flank steak was cooked to absolute perfection. Their bread is the perfect complement to everything else. Highly recommended. Lovely people, too.“

“Delicious, stupendous, fun-filled evening with convivial personalities always attending to our needs. Owner Kari is delightful and you will have the warmest hospitality warm welcoming while noshing on the most delicious choice of grub!! No slacking here; food is beautifully prepared by co-owner Kevin with farm fresh to table delights, whatever is in season and at its peak of freshness. Hubby and I so highly recommend and we don't say that lightly- we aren't always the easiest to please with all our fussy requests. None ever needed here as we will take each and every dish just as Kevin prepares it. Hoping they can host our daughter & future son-in-laws reception!! Can't imagine on giving their guests anything short of delightful and scrumptious selections!! Check schedule as they often are hosting weddings, parties, and such with no wonder why!!“

“Amazing evening with great food and service.“

“This restaurant has a large variety of different dishes to order from. I haven't been there for over 25 years and the food was excellent back then for breakfast. Excellent service and great company with old friends.“

“Dog, burgers, drinks and a Tuesday run club, what more do you need!“

“Terrific staff and innovative cuisine. Small local restaurant who worked hard to keep staff through the pandemic closures with delicious creative take out and who are keeping everyone safe by requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Fresh creative food.“

“*YUM* is all I have to say!! We adore this place, and friends who have moved away always beg to go here for chicken when they come home to visit. The chicken falls off the bone, their fried tofu is to die for! ������. You cannot go wrong here! But pay attention to their hours. They close mid-day for a few hours.“

“This was our first time ordering from Organico. It was EXCELLENT!!! Very easy to order, super fast prep & everything was absolutely DELICIOUS ?!!!
Large portion sizes, too.

We will certainly order again soon!
Thank you!! ?“

“Second time I ate here in the last three days! Light, healthy, filling, affordable, and open late! A lot of plant based options. The flavor of the chicken on my bowl ? I am really happy I found this place and will be back many times!

Parking: Big parking lot that is shared with Rite Aid“

“Great place! Good food and music!“

“First time visit long time passer by, glad I had an excuse to be in the area and give them a try. Came in and the place was looking clean and ready for service. I asked the staff for some suggestions and it was the right call. Really like the old town dog. Going to try some of the other stuff next time.“

“Food is delicious! Coffee very flavorful and service outstanding. Only bad thing is the smell inside the place, it’s lacking some windows or better AC.
Ask for Adam whom is the best employee there, he is always laughing and providing good tips of the food.“

“Joey is super friendly and helpful!“

“My first impression felt like a fast-food restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised when the food arrived.

The staff recommended the lavender lemonade, and it's the best I've ever had.

For the meal, we chose the turkey sandwich and the beef sandwich.

The flavor of the beef was unique and delicious, while the turkey was pretty average…

However, the side dish was potato chips, which was a bit disappointing.

Since the place is labeled as a healthy restaurant, a salad would have been more fitting ??.

Still, I'll definitely come back next time to try the avocado toast ?.

The first time I came here it felt like a fast food restaurant
But then the meal arrived and it was amazing

Especially the store clerk recommended me
The lavender lemonade is the best I have ever tasted!
For the meal, we chose turkey and beef sandwiches.

The flavor of beef is very delicious
Turkey meat was very mediocre….
But the side dish is potato chips, which is a pity
It says healthy restaurant
I think it’s more suitable for salad??

But I will try the avocado toast next time?

“Came here after a late night while in the area for business; we were staying in the hotel and I didn't want to walk anywhere. I had an enjoyable evening. I sat outside in the plaza and really enjoyed the general ambience of the fire and the fountains. I had a pretty nice meal - the lemon saffron scallops appetizer was great, and my entree (garlic tofu noodles) was pretty good. There was a minor issue with my dish (they left the tofu out) but it was quickly resolved (brought me a plate of sauteed tofu to mix in) and then they also gave me a free dessert. I tried the sorbet trio which had three fresh fruit sorbets (mango, raspberry and peach) which was delicious although it was a LOT of sorbet - I was expecting small dishes of each, but they were each a full sized dish!“

“I've been looking for a good pizza place for a while. I think the deep dish pizzas here are a step above most in the area. Pair that with a large selection of beer and friendly staff, and you have a place worth going back to. I'll definitely be back.“

“Great food, relaxing environment“

“After 10 years, I finally revisited Hot Wings Café in Pasadena, and I was happily surprised by the experience. The place has been remodeled to a more modern look. Although I felt the previous look had more personality, the new vibe is still great.

My partner and I were warmly greeted by the staff. I'm not sure what other reviewers were referring to when they mentioned poor staff behavior, but our experience on a Sunday evening was the opposite. Our waitress was very friendly, and we noticed other staff members quickly cleaning tables and making sure they were spotless for the next guests. The floor was also clean, adding to the overall pleasant environment.

The wings were slightly smaller than I remembered, but that's expected nowadays in most restaurants. We also got fried zucchini and curly fries, and they were fantastic! Everything tasted amazing. They also provided plenty of napkins and a moist towelette to clean our hands after enjoying the wings.

Overall, Hot Wings Café remains a great spot for delicious wings. Even after a decade, I still enjoyed my time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Parking: Lots of parking garages around. Limited street parking out front.“

“Short-staffed, and I didn't have time to order food and wait. Establismebtbseemed like it wasn't ready for a big crowd on a Friday evening. The 2 bartenders were doing a great job considering the situation with some of the rude inpatient customers.“

“The food, cocktails and staff are stellar!“

“Great food without breaking the bank .!“

“Excellent venue, nice and spacious. The food is quite good with fresh ingredients. The food is sizable. We had French Onion soup which was tasty with thick layer of cheese. Cop Salad was ok. Grilled chinchitos pepper the peppers were tough and chewy. Tuna Poke bowl, the fish was good and French. Fish and chip the fish was nice and crispy and they were very generous with chips. Grilled Chicken sandwich was also delicious. The service was a bit weak maybe they don’t have enough serves.“
