Stellar. Listed among Pasadena's best, it did not disappoint. Everything was terrific, really! Four of us and each of us had something delicious, starting with the ricotta lemon pancakes, an item I would not have indulged w/o the server's suggestion and the view of them on the table next to us. The lightest and incredibly flavored pancakes worth every calorie. Hard not to finish it all!!! Smoked salmon and potato rosti, crunch, flavor and a terrific blend of ingredients with the rosti base crunchy and plentiful. The wild mushroom omelette with leeks, spinach and cheese topped with chive creme fraiche was superb as in the best mushrooms I've had in a long time, definitely top shelf and the real deal, unlike the grocery story example and the egg perfectly cooked, thin and light. Came with fresh fruit and mixed greens and your choice of bread; I had sourdough, which admittedly, given how fabulous everything else was, the bread was kinda ordinary, but no complaints. Left on very full stomachs. Good service. Ambiance, nothing special, but fine, not too loud, not too crazy even at the peak lunch/brunch hour when we were there. And, on a very aside aside, the bathroom had HOT water; you may not think that is a big deal, but I do/did and was glad for it, OK a little crazy perhaps, but part of the package...I don't look for it or exclude on this dimension, just another positive in a long list. Go, enjoy!!!

While the food was good and the atmosphere was somewhat enjoyable the events ending our night over shadowed any enjoyable moments we had. Due to a lack of transparency on the part of the restaurant as well as our server “D” an ingredient known to cause severe allergies was added to a dish without being included in the description of said dish. While the soufflé bread pudding was ok at best for my sister is was something that could have caused more damage than it did if not for me telling her hey I think there are nuts under the ice cream that came with the soufflé. Upon informing our server of this so he could inform the staff preparing the meal we were met with a lukewarm apology and a “well it was on the menu.” with the same energy one would say “well it’s your fault.” The oversight on the part of the restaurant as well as our server for not knowing the menu, since he was asked if there were nuts in any of the desserts presented and he said “uhhhh, I don’t think so. Maybe pine nuts or peanuts?”, resulted in part of our party having to go across the street to get medication needed in order to help slow down the effects of the allergic reaction already being experience. After reviewing the menu again no where does it mention nuts being in any part of the desserts ordered. Then when we returned from getting the medication we were offered another dessert “by mistake” but was told as an apology with NUTS in the crust. The half hearted attempt at a correction was the cherry on top of a dangerous dining experience. If you have allergies please be aware that the staff may not be fully familiar of the ingredients used in all the dishes so be cautious of what you eat. I will not be returning to this establishment but I do ask that they do better. This could have ended worse than it did. Hopefully my sister will not need to go to urgent care or the ER over this.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food and a great ambiance. Went on a weekday night to watch the Dodgers game and it was not super busy. They had a big TV at the bar area, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. The burgers were packed with flavor and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The fries were thin and perfectly crispy.

I usually enjoy everything I order here, and the service is good. The reason they don’t get more stars from me is that they are not allergy friendly. They fry nuts in the same fryer as the French fries, and aren’t clear enough about that on the menu.

I really enjoyed my experience! The wild mushroom omelette and tomato soup were delicious, the salad dressing was perfectly balanced, and the café mocha hit the spot. The apricot soufflé was an absolute highlight, and last but definitely not least, the service was fantastic.

I really did not like this place. I didn’t feel welcomed the food was not that great. I wasn’t too happy. I would always ask for water. They didn’t come to the table to see if you want it more.

Editable. Mediocre food and service at best. Literally a representation of if AI created a bar.
