Great food, good portions, friendly service and cool atmosphere. Their brussels sprout appetizer was sooo good! I had prime rib pasta, they make the pasta fresh and the meat was super tasty. I just wish it came with more meat if I was to be picky. Tons of delicious pasta and it heated up very well the next night for dinner.

My wife and I went to The Lodge in Pasadena for our anniversary tonight. First let me say the atmosphere and our waitress were fantastic but that’s where it ended. The menu was lack luster and the food was just horrible once it arrived. My wife had the catfish and fries. Both were greasy and unappealing. I had the chicken pot pie that had what tasted like a pizza crust for a topping and some poor vegetable concoction inside with minimal chicken. Very disappointing and we won’t be going back. For the prices I expected a much better meal.

Fiancé and I went last week for the first time. I got the Chesapeake pasta, he got a limited time pork shank. Service was excellent and food was good, but the portion of my side (vegetable medley) and our appetizer (brussel sprouts) were disappointing. Our entrees were great though so we'll definitely be back and just not waste money on sides or apps. Fiancé's meat fell off the bone and my pasta fed me for 2 more meals, though I was disappointed by the very little crabmeat it came with, the sauce and shrimp were delicious.

8 separate dinner plates. 7 bad dinners. My second time there. First time was about a month after the opening. Food was not good. Gave it another chance March 8, 2026. Won't be a third time. Hair in pasta. Chicken breast was frozen. Crab cakes were mush. Boneless ribs were like rubber. Steak was overcooked. Child's meal with sliced apples, apples were mushy. French fries are not crispy, they are limp and oil saturated.

What a pleasant surprise this place is! Sophisticated without being pretentious, quite possibly the most comfortable seating outside of my own living room, and wonderful food. Everything here is farm-to-table fresh, the chef's know what they are doing, and the bartenders know their trade. Our waitress Gracie was amazing. I've been on military ops with a less thorough brief than she gave! She really understands the menu, and though we have no food allergy issues, she was exceptionally well versed on how to enjoy the menu around those issues. Gracie is a standout in a hospitality industry that increasingly seems indifferent. Plenty of parking, great handicap access, indoor and outdoor dining areas with fireplaces and exceptionally clean throughout.

My husband and I went here for lunch for the first time and we sat in the bar area and it wasnt busy. We waited 15 minutes before anyone came over to take our drink order. Then we waited another 15 minutes to get our soda. Then we placed our order for an appetizer and burgers. It took 25 minutes to get our appetizer of Brussel sprouts which were good. Then we waited almost 50 minutes to get our food! The fries were ice cold but the burger was hot. I waited another 10 minutes to get the servers attention and she said she would get us new ones. We were finished eating and still no fries or refills. I waited another 15 minutes to get her attention and tell her to forget the fries I just wanted the check. Again we waited another 15 minutes and finally got our check! We were there over 2 hours for a burger and a soda! The food was good but not worth the time it took to get it!

Went for lunch on Valentine's Day. They didn't seem too busy but we choose to sit in the bar area to watch the Olympics. Good was pretty good but just had a burger. But they seemed like they didn't have enough help and it was very slow service.

I though it was gona be a more fancy place but it was more casual. We dressed up but we saw people show up in te shirts and shorts so we felt over dressed. Could of been our fault.
Drinks great. Salmon on the small size. Front desk was amazing. Our server was great.

Loved the entire experience!! Service was great, food was spectacular, ambiance was on point. Have already recommended repeatedly. Definitely will be coming back to try everything on the farm to table menu!
This place prides itself on Farm to table first of all. The atmosphere is fine, inviting place. We started with the charbroiled Brussels sprouts, very good. Entrees, snake bite pasta and braised short rib. They have four different offerings on the menu for the short rib, so you would think great. NOT! Short rib tasted like a pot roast that sat all day on crockpot water. Mashed potatoes served with it, bland and boring. The diced squash was a huge miss. Snake bite pasta tasted like jarred sauce and shrimp was frozen for sure, chicken was definitely from a bag and the sausage was probably sourced from Costco. The pasta was no doubt frozen and or bagged. Not to mention the wife bit down on what looked like small pieces of bone in the short rib/pot roast, and when we told the waiter this, he just said “oh” and asked if we wanted boxes. Hell if that would have happened at Texas Roadhouse they would have taken the meal off the bill and gave you a gift card. Unfortunately this place is not somewhere we would ever go again. If you want to go to a nice place in this area, go to Two Rivers and you wont be disappointed.
Final note; meal was $120, with 1 glass of wine, 1 beer and the Brussel sprout appetizer.

Fries with more grease than actual potatoes. Burger bun SOAKED in grease also. Worst location in your group. I'd be ashamed to send food out like this. ASHAMED

We usually love burger night. Something was up last night. Both our burgers were so salty that we could not finish and enjoy them.
Very disappointing. We had 2 different burgers so it wasn't sauce. It was in the meat prep. We let the waiter know when we paid so that he could share this w the kitchen
