Best Seasonal Restaurants in Pasadena

Rib eye, Fleming potato’s, asparagus, old fashion, strawberry drink, and cheesecake all phenomenal! Service is the best! Vibe, ambience is elegant relaxing very pleasant. I still can’t stop thinking about that steak with the butters! Sooo good 🤤

The service was the best I’ve had in some time. Our server was extremely helpful and attentive. Even the hostess was very polished and welcoming. A beautiful space as well.

This is an amazing little place for an afternoon tea that is SO reasonably priced (and there is a very reasonable surcharge for sharing which isn't always the case)! The food was delicious and the place is charming. We were 6 people at the Pasadena location on a Monday for a 2:30 holiday tea after going to the Norton Simon museum, and it was decorated for the holidays and really welcoming. Some in our party ordered off the menu and the rest of us got the Chado afternoon tea. We all loved it. My only caveat is that it took a crazy long time for our food to arrive (maybe an hour?) we had a lot to catch up on so we just enjoyed drinking our tea and didn't really mind. My daughter and I ordered strawberries and cream when we first arrived since we barely even had breakfast, and we were so glad we did, since everything else didn't arrive for another hour, and even then, my tea tower wasn't ready for another 10 or 15 minutes after everyone else's. We were there on a Monday at 2:30pm and it seems like there might have been a rush before us (it was pretty full when we arrived) and then we were the only people there, and there was only one waiter, so I can't imagine this normally happens, and ANYHOW I would still go back!

Short-staffed, and I didn't have time to order food and wait. Establismebtbseemed like it wasn't ready for a big crowd on a Friday evening. The 2 bartenders were doing a great job considering the situation with some of the rude inpatient customers.

Wonderful meal. Exquisite omakase. Hon took good care of us.
