Our waiter and all other staff were incredible, might have found our new favorite restaurant honestly.

They have the best pepper crusted chicken breast I've ever tried. They say not to order the chicken at a restaurant, but this one you do. I also love their dirty martinis with freshly stuffed blue cheese olives. Try their Caesar Salad. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Excellent choice for a business dinner. The ambiance was relaxed yet polished, making it easy to have great conversation. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. We shared several appetizers—especially the tartare and crab toast, which were standouts—and the entrees were outstanding across the table. A great location for a professional gathering that still feels warm and welcoming. While we may not be back in Pasadena soon, it's a place I would absolutely seek out again when I return.

Expensive but meals are well prepared. Worth the wait and money.

This was such a fantastic experience. From service to food, it was wonderful. Our daughter practically licked her plate clean. We had the mushroom risotto, seabass, chicken and tuna. We also tried four different apps and four different desserts. They were all amazing but the crab puffs and bread pudding were our favorite. My wife is vegan and they very nicely offered accommodations for that as well. Overall, seriously one is the best meals ever.

It was our first vusit to The arbour. We were pleasantly surprised with the freshness of the food. Douglas, our server, was very attentive to us, especially we had our 2 year old granddaughter with us. Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of the food, excellent service , free parking and proximity to our home.

Absolutely awesome dining experience for our 18th anniversary outing on a busy Saturday night in Pasadena. Started off at the bar for drinks with Zack the bartender. Then transitioned to the center booth for appetizers and main courses. Sea bass and yellow tail tuna was very tasty as was the bread/butter, beet salad and steak tartare appetizer. They even gave us a free happy anniversary dessert it was delicious. Ambiance is lively, crowded, fun. We waited 45 mins for a table. Drinks were very good overall (mixed and beer). Restroom was very clean. No complaints whatsoever; we’ll be back soon, highly recommended.

We enjoyed a truly lovely evening at The Arbour! From the moment we walked in, the warm, rustic-elegant atmosphere set the tone for a special night out. It strikes that perfect balance of being classy and relaxed — great for date night or any occasion you want to feel a little extra.
The service was outstanding from start to finish. Our server made us feel genuinely welcome, offered great recommendations, and checked in at just the right moments without ever interrupting our conversation. That kind of attentiveness really made the evening feel special.
We tried a couple of menu highlights, and they were delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The overall experience was memorable, and it’s clear why so many locals and visitors alike rave about this place.
If you’re in Pasadena and looking for a memorable dinner with fantastic service and a welcoming vibe, The Arbour is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back.
Great food, drinks and great staff!!! The picanha steak was perfect!!!

The duck confit was crispy and fell off the bone- excellent. Every dish I have eaten here has been exquisite. Don't miss dessert either.

I've been eyeing this place for a while because it always looks so fancy when I walk by. They describe themselves as a farm-to-table restaurant, so I decided to stop in for dinner on a Wednesday night. I didn't have a reservation but got seated right away. The service and ambiance were great, and it's definitely a nice spot for a date or a relaxed dinner.
We ordered the beef tartare, shaved brussels sprout salad, shrimp penne, and Mediterranean seabass. The tartare was light but didn't have much flavor, and the brussels sprout salad was heavy on the goat cheese, which might be a hit or miss depending on your taste.
The seabass was amazing. Perfectly cooked, super moist with crispy skin, and the sides that came with it were delicious. The shrimp penne was also really good, with a flavorful sauce and a generous portion that was enough for leftovers the next day. I also appreciated the complimentary bread and homemade butter, which were both delicious. Everything was plated beautifully and looked elegant.
Overall, I'd definitely come back for the seabass and maybe try different appetizers next time. The setting, service, and presentation make it a really pleasant dining experience.

My Caesar salad was fine, but the salmon I ate had a strange taste and my husband's yellowtail was also bad. Very disappointing. Our server was lovely though
Great food, great service
