Food is good, sat outside in the courtyard. Was very nice. Unfortunately after we got seated we didn't get a server for about 15 minutes. But after that there was good service. One thing that I observe in a well trained restaurant is that they always make sure to pour your wine throughout your dining. And at our table, this was done .We truly enjoyed our evening out at Bistro 45.
Delicious! Some of the best home made pizza crust I have ever eaten. The scallops were amazing and the pork chop was equally as good as I remember I had at Flemings. This is a hidden gem and should not be missed. Lastly, the service from Bruce moment we entered until we walked out the door was impeccable. Thank you for a great experience!
Haven't been here for ages. The food is as good as I remember. The service is just impeccable. Love every dish. Perfectly cooked, with excellent desserts. Looking forward to my next visit.
I really debated whether this restaurant should get 4 or 5 stars. The heritage Cauliflower soup was the best I had ever had. Salad was reasonably good, you could taste the freshness of the food. Where this restaurant fell short was the Fish du jour. A cod in a Citrus sauce. The fish pieces were fresh but bland. The Citrus sauce was non existent. Dessert redeemed the dining experience. Both desserts we tried were fabulous. My associates reported that the wine pairings were excellent.
Thank you for accommodating us tonight. We didn’t have a clue that Bistro 45 was closed to facilitate a private party. You welcomed us when I called to make a dinner reservation. We were treated like family seating us at a patio table while serving an amazing meal! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️
Every meal is simply superb. Beautiful outside patio which is great for a special occasion. Love the specials as they change weekly. Try them all, superb service, nice location in South Pasadena ?
The restaurant hosted a baby shower today with impeccable detail and gourmet extravaganza. The owner and Staff were beyond attentive and kind. Special words from the owner to give recognition to the host and guest of honor were so appreciated. .
Bistro 45 has been one of our favorites for a long time. We desperately missed it when we were living down in Newport Beach and now that we're back in Pasadena, we're looking forward to making Bistro 45 a regular habit again, especially now that we're getting out again more (the pandemic definitely cut back on our epicurean adventures).We've had many positive experiences at Bistro 45. The wine dinners are always great, and the chef even made an alternate dish for my wife who dislikes lamb (we let them know ahead of time) which we thought was especially thoughtful for a food/wine paired dinner.One of the best meals we've ever had was a time years ago when we'd had a Sanford Reserve Pinot Noir that we knew they had in their cellar (that was how our friend who had introduced us to both the wine and the restaurant had found out about the Pinot), and asked if the chef could just prepare a meal around the wine. They gave us a few suggestions based on our personal preferences and it was a spectacular dinner.If you like chocolate desserts, you must, must, must order the Chocolate Soup. You'll be on an endorphin high for the next few hours.
Amazing food service & ambiance. Highly recommend!!
Dining at Bistro 45 is an amazing experience. Robert and his wonderful staff attend to your every need while delivering delicious food so expertly created by James and his amazing kitchen staff. Everything as fresh as fresh can be.
