50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Marino

“I had a Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with no ice and level 1 (of 5) sweetness. I really enjoy freshly brewed milk tea (freshly brewed after order is placed) compared to milk tea prepared with tea that was brewed well in advance, had been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, and used only after the order is placed. I definitely recommend to try their boba tea.“

“The New York style slices here are solid with good flavor, plenty of cheese, and a nice firm crust. The quirky option to add a side of spicy ranch would upset a purist, but I liked it. PIZZAISTA! is definitely a good thing for the greater Los Angeles area. But is it destination pizza, a place you should seek out in a special trip? Honestly, I would say no, but I live in New York, and we have places like this all over the city. However, if you're in the area and want a quick slice, this is the ideal spot for you.“

“My husband and I have been going to Mari Vees a few times in the past few months after our trip to Huntington Library. It's a cute little place. Victor, the manager, and his staff are friendly, very attentive, and always pleasant. My husband had a few different breakfast dishes which he liked them all. I love their chicken tortillas soup. We look forward to going there again soon.“

“Good food,good price, will always go to this location over the one on Valley Blvd in Alhambra👍🏼“

“They definitely have some unique flavors to try, many of which I haven’t seen before in any other boba places. I really like the cassia milk tea
The prices though, are also higher than most other places. I paid $24 for 3 drinks, one of which was $8.65 (the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi).
The drinks are good and the flavors can’t be found most other places, but I don’t personally think they’re over $8 worth it
I’d definitely only come rarely for an occasional indulgence“

“The food is priced on the expensive end, but that is to be expected for attraction food. Not that I minded anyway, because my entire meal was filling (the portion sizes are MASSIVE) and delicious. Well seasoned, served hot, and promptly arrived even during the height of a lunch rush. The atmosphere is unbeatable“

“Always a great place to sit talk and redirect I had a productive visit“

“I love coming here! Great food, friendly service and family run. The village is so charming.“

“We like to go for birthday breakfast, today could have been better.“

“We ordered the pastrami add mayo and the BLT with a side of potato salad. The pastrami was good but I’ll try the rest of the sandwiches before ordering it again. The BLT was better & the potato salad was pretty good also. The two will be ordered again next time! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-29“

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“One of the most amazing meals I’ve had.“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

“this is, hands down, some of the most interesting and delicious fusion food you’ll try. Anything they put together is thoughtful, layered and full of nuance. get the sauce sampler packs; and try everything on the menu; but the birria is to die for.

It’s so affordable, too; honestly if I could eat here every day, I would.“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Great service and so so so delicious! First time customers and our girl who checked us out gave us samples of each flavor and described them in depth, and let us take our time (we did try to hurry because they were so busy!) picking toppings. Wonderful experience overall“

“Loved this place. We came in on a random Tuesday when the world cup happened to be on and they still accommodated us and went above and beyond to give us excellent service. The food and the drinks were also good. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back.“

“Easy 5 stars. Genuinely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, and I loved that the dishes weren’t overloaded with sauces or unnecessary toppings, the quality of the fish really spoke for itself.

The salmon was buttery and melted in your mouth, the eel was warm, rich and perfectly glazed, and even the cucumber salad was ridiculously good. And if you go, definitely try the fatty tuna, highly recommend it!

This is one of those places that makes it hard to enjoy average sushi afterward. 😂 Already looking forward to going back.“

“Fantastic roman style pizza. My new favorite style. Crispy on the bottom and ends, and a great flavor to the crust. Not to thick so it doesnt overload you with bread and the roman pinsa style of fermentation makes it eaiser to digest too! Great creative use of quality toppings and combinations different from many places. Excellent salads and of course nice wines that they can steer you to what may be to. your liking. Chartruitere board for 4 needed more than one type of cheese and would have benefited from one other meat besides mortadella and prosciutto. However all the ingredients were top notch. Inside is quite noisy and the outside patio is nice with it ringed by large plants so you dont see the street. Plus 3rd street here has almost no traffic. Music was a bit loud on the patio to compete with talking but not terrible. Service was very friendly but food came out on the slow side. Restaurant was packed on a saturday night at 6:15 so that may be why as the kitchen is small. But like in Rome, you shouldnt be in a rush when you eat. It's the Italian way. Not a huge menu but many items sounded really good so will need to try again. The tiramisu was great but diffferent. Served in a goblet with the cookies dusted on top it was like more of a pudding with the lady fingers. Other normal versions have more of the cake in layers than this but it was quite good. The pistachio ice cream was also really good too. But really this is one of the best pinsa style pizzas I have had, I have eaten them at many places! So if you come here you need to get the pizza!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Excellent dining experience with unique menu options. The wine and cocktail list was great great, but the one mocktail we ordered was somewhat one dimensional, just sour. Overall, a nice delicious outing with an enjoyable indoor-outdoor feel. “

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Great high quality food and service“

“This place is so good I went twice in the same week! Every piece was so perfect and it was the perfect amount of food. Of all the places I've been for omakase in LA I'd say this is the best bang for your buck especially if you go for lunch during the weekdays. You won't be disappointed. It's located in Weller Court and many folks go to sushi gen and other spots but this place is so fresh and the service is wonderful. Also very quiet inside.“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“Bento boxes are of great quality here. The attention to detail of this curated meal definitely lets your eyes feast first. All the little sides taste amazing, especially the candied sweet potatoes. The vegetables alternate between sweet and salty to balance out the meal. The Scottish salmon and mackerel are cooked to perfection. The little yolk in the rice also adds a nice touch to mix in and eat.“

“Everything about this dining experience was perfect. I've never had that before, where literally every box is checked...

Every single item we ordered blew our minds with how tasty they were. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

We were traveling from Utah and were in that town accidentally. We wandered in to the closest restaurant nearby and were not at all prepared for how nice this was. Even though we were not looking our best from a long day on the road, we were treated kindly and even had nice conversation with the owner.

This is now on our must list EVERY time we come to California!“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“Came on a Wednesday and there was about a 20 minute wait, which felt reasonable given how busy they were. Service was quick, and our food came out almost immediately after ordering.

We ordered the tuna sandwich and the roast beef au jus, and both were delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh, the bread was excellent, and the flavors were well balanced. Overall, a good quick lunch.“

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“We went to the Newport Beach location a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time ordering an acai bowl. The staff was very helpful and patient when I was building my bowl. Overall, from the time we walked in to the time we left, the staff was extremely friendly and nice.“

“We come here every week and today was the slowest service to even say hello which nobody told us when we came in. We stand there for five minutes and nobody even acknowledge us but the rest of it. It’s everything Dylan is going table to table. Make sure they were OK so that was very nice. Dining room is way too cold.“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“Emilia was amazing! She provided excellent customer service and was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She made sure we had everything we needed and made our dining experience even better. Thank you, Emilia, for the great service! We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Oh my goodness! This place was such a beautiful find. I absolutely loved all the options they had for gluten-free and dairy free. I got the lemon cake and two of the sprinkle cookies to bring home to me and my family. The bread options are amazing for gluten-free as well. I ended up getting their chorizo and egg for breakfast. Absolutely amazing food. On the side I got tater tots, they were crunchy and very tasty. Not greasy, which is hard to do when you fry something. We sat in the back where the wine area is because it was really hot that day so the ambience in that little area was very quirky and eclectic. It’s a very comforting delicious place to go visit if you’re hankering for some gluten-free, dairy free pastries. Did I mention the entire place is vegan!“

“Delicious !! Enjoyed the East Los atmosphere..😋💞“

“I've been there once and it was fine last time. The cocktails were quick and the atmosphere was good. Overall, it was pretty good“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“I enjoy coming here when my partner and I can't agree one something. I wish the seating was more comfortable and the less cramped together but there usually is somewhere to sit. The cleaning staff is always quick to clear tables and manage trash and dishes. Even at its busiest there is usually plenty of parking.“

“Decades upon decades, I have enjoyed Gene's Grinders. Fresh ingredients, friendly customer good service and fantastic memories since Huntington Drive. Thank you all for all the yummy, excellent food, hard work and fantastic memories! See you later! ❌️⭕️ 2/18/2026“

“Bring your dates and loved ones to the BEST mocktails in town! All the unique flavor creation (each drink’s appealing naming in alphabetical order, and only $9) made by the bartender/co-owner Arleo. And Chef Amber runs the all the magic in the kitchen. My favorite dish is “Bone Marrow” - fried king mushroom oyster!

We discovered this non-alcoholic bar through hosting boardgames there, so we’re inspired by the journey of this power couple putting their hearts and souls into running this business and creating their dream community.“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“
