Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in South Pasadena

This gem of a Restaurant has the most unique and beautiful salt water aquarium I’ve ever seen. Unique because it’s located on the restaurant’s ceiling. Also the bottom of the aquarium had several domes to give a fish eye view of the beautiful fish. Pausing underneath the aquarium and gazing into the transparent dome of glass, I felt like a fish gazing at my friends under the sea. We ordered whatever our heart’s desired and there happened to be an absolutely lovely jazz trio there to entertain and delight. I felt Blessed beyond Measure

Really awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.

Took my family after a football game at the rose bowl. It’s very close. The food was outstanding. Service was impeccable. Will definitely dine there again.

My experience at the Golden Hour was so beautiful. It had great city views, good music, and good food. I felt like I was in a movie. I would definitely recommend to family, and friends. Great for date night, or just a good night out with friends.

The ambiance was nice, clean and comfortable. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We only got the truffle fries, but they were very good. The drinks were good. A little pricey and came with the included 18% gratuity. But it's in LA so it was expected, so no big deal. The only problem was our reservations were for 615 and the entertainment didn't start until 730. The guy comes out on the piano plays 3 songs and stops. Then another show starts at 830. So the lack of entertainment was the only complaint about the evening. But we still had a good time.
