After not going there for several years after not being pleased with our first few visits after they opened, we'd read nothing but stellar reviews, so we thought we'd give it another try. We were not disappointed The quality of the food, service and the overall place was stellar! Out waiter, Thomas (a 30-yr. Veteran of many Pasadena mainstays), could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, efficient or charming! Food was on par with the best places around town, in terms of taste, creativity, quantity and quality! We re definitely going back, and soon!

I love this restaurant and it’s always packed. This night, our waiter was disengaged and brief, no small talk or personalized service. There was a feeling of being quickly turned to allow for the next table reservation even tho we didn’t spend much time there. I had a food boxes and a bill on my table before even half finished with my wine. I will assume the pace of the holiday may have been stretching him thin? It’s the first time receiving this level of swiftness. Buccatini was good (extra saucy ratio was a little different this night), lobster risotto was excellent!

Great ambience at this location in Pasadena, CA. Food quality is great. Not over seasoned or over cooked. Mixed drinks were good also not overwhelming. Would recommend The Arbour to anyone visiting the area.

As always, The Arbour consistently performed exceedingly well. Everything from ambience, energy, welcoming spirits, great service, and of course, fabulous food and drink, more than meets my expectations. My dining partner both ordered cocktails, and we enjoyed the Mediterranean Seabass--one of the signature dishes. Our dinner was finished off with a complimentary dessert from Chef Ian Gresik, to honor my friend who will be moving away and only recently learned of The Arbour.
