    We had a business meeting celebrating some achievements and Juan took care of us so nicely. The hostesses were very welcoming and nice, and so was the lady bartender. Great drinks and great service. Overall a great experience and totally recommend it. This place is like an iconic restaurant in Pasadena and the grounds are so beautiful.

    What a lovely evening. The restaurant is old school with dark walls and a quiet ambiance. A mixture of contemporary and club elegance. It was relaxing. The service is excellent, knowledgable and attentive. A good variety of offerings on the menu. A favorite were the short ribs which melted off the bone and also the scallops. It is great for a special occasion or a dink at the bar.

    Good food, a bit on the expense side. Noise level was very loud and I see there is no acoustic tiling on the ceiling or anything. That might improve the experience.

    Did not care for the patio area we were seated in Very cramped and felt neglected. We have always loved this restaurant and will be back but we will refuse to sit in this cramped patio space You have such a nice ambiance and this experience was not that

    Amazing dining experience as always! Parkway Grill is the jewel of the three restaurants under same ownership. Servers are pleasant, professional and efficient. Always there but not seen. Food outstanding! Had the Chilean sea bass special and it was like butter in its consistency. Soooooooo good. My partner had the Australian lobster tail and scalloped potatoes which she loves. Martinis are excellent. We enjoyed a sorbet for dessert. See you again Parkway Grill!

    Outstanding! Amazing food and ambience. At no time did we feel rushed or pushed to get the bill paid and out the door. Service was well timed, with delivery of starters, entrees, and beverages. We’ll definitely be returning. My wife and I had a gin drink off the menu, which was absolutely amazing, light and refreshing!
