Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Whittier

My experience at this place was absolutely incredible! The service was top-notch, and the waitress who took care of us was simply amazing. She was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient. She even checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Her suggestions and recommendations on the menu were spot-on, especially since she seemed to know everything about their offerings. This isn’t my first time here, and I’m already planning to come back again and again. This place is truly amazing!

Loved both the space and the food.We had booked the lounge area which turned out to be a bad decision for daytime dining, however the staff were very accommodating and moved us to the main dining room filled with bright daylight and similarly well designed and decorated space. The food was delicious and so was the service. Would definitely recommend this venue.

Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

This was our first time as a family having our Thanksgiving meal away from home. The entire experience was very special, intimate, food was delicious, servers, music outstanding, vibe perfect…we sat outside on garden patio. It was heaven! (The weather was 73 and sunny!)… The only reason I did not give a 5 for service was ONLY because it was Thanksgiving Day and it seemed they might have been slightly short staffed, however, the servers were delightful and working VERY hard. They just could have had a few more which would assist with getting drinks/water refreshed or other incidentals. I highly recommend The Raymond as a must experience restaurant if you’re looking if for a garden, romantic, historical, beautiful restaurant with amazing food choices, located in Pasadena.

Our first time at this restaurant. Felt very welcomed the moment we walked in. Our server Bryan gave us an amazing experience by showing us their menu and giving us recommendations and telling us his favorite dishes. Also being very interactive with us which we enjoyed. Food was amazing we started off with the Country Fried Texas Quill then BLT Wedge Salad for our main course the 58 oz Cowboy Ribeye with a side of Lobster Mac and Cheese. We will definitely be coming back.
