Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Pasadena

Beautiful place! wonderful location. The staff are very friendly

From the moment I stepped into Palma, I could tell it was going to be something special. The place has this cozy, effortless charm that makes you feel like you’ve just stumbled into someone’s beautifully lit secret. But let’s talk about the food—absolutely incredible. Every dish that hit the table was a total showstopper. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, the seafood was tender and flavorful, and the sauces tied everything together like magic. Even the cocktails were next level—balanced, smooth, and honestly kind of addictive. You can tell the kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing. And the service? Honestly, it just made everything that much better. Everyone was warm and attentive without hovering, which I really appreciate. Mellisa, in particular, was amazing—she has this calm, confident energy and made us feel completely taken care of. She didn’t miss a beat and somehow made the whole night feel extra special without trying too hard. Between the food, the drinks, and the genuinely lovely vibe, Palma delivered in every way. I walked out full, happy, and already thinking about when I can come back.

Great experience, will definitely come back. The food was delicious and service was great!

My husband and I had an amazing experience celebrating his birthday at 71!

Wonderful food and great staff! I would definitely go back again.
