Food came out on time. Pleasant staff. Our Daughter was cold so they set her up with a personal propane heater. We sat outside, very spacious, no crowding, inside our out. Didn't push up to the bar but it was stocked. Give it a try and we hope you like it too!

Good happy hour fulfillment n outdoor experience. Short rib slider and tacos were delicious and loved the ceviche. Not pictured n gobbled creme Brule and chocolate sundae,, also good. Recommend reservations it fills fast.

My first time here and I had a good experience. Nice ambiance, friendly, good service and I enjoy my brunch

Always a great choice! We enjoyed a dinner tonight for my mother's (visiting from Pittsburgh) 80th birthday week and it was wonderful! The food and atmosphere was perfect! Thank you so much for making our night so enjoyable! Connie is the best waitress ever!!!! And I love her name!

Kinda swanky American restaurant with a variety of delicacies! Cool bar area. Outdoor seating with views of the Monrovia mountains. Spacious indoor seating! Friendly staff. Menu items are surely tasty! 1 big screen TV broadcasting sporting events. Very comfy atmosphere!

The star of today's visit was easily the portobello mushroom fries and Rosebowl cocktail.  The fries were absolutely delicious and accompanied by a yummy garlic aioli.My guest stated that the Rosebowl cocktail was light, refreshing, fragrant, delicious and beautifully presented with a rose petal floating atop.The second drink my guest tried was the Foothill Fire and it was so spicy they couldn't  finish it,  even after the bartender added  more lemon and simple syrup to the mix.The fries outshown every other  item we tried today including the short rib sliders, pork chop with fingerling potatoes and roasted carrots, and the steak frites with bone marrow butter.The short rip sliders could have used more meat for $16 and the mustard sauce over the pork chop wasn't my thing.  Additionally, the ribeye was tasty as long as it was drowned in the bone marrow butter, however without the  butter it was in serious need of salt.Lastly, nearly 80% of the dishes we received today were garnished with or seasoned with rosemary. There was a rosemary sprig in the cocktail, rosemary leaves over my fingerling potatoes, and even the fries were covered in rosemary. Why so much rosemary? Are there no other seasonings?I was also confused by the service.. I had no idea who my server was and for a majority of the meal I was being attended to by the bartender who was also providing service to the patrons on bar stools at the bar. I didn't have a server check on me, refill my drinks, clear my plates, or bring me a straw after I ask for one. I am thankful the bartender was so attentive, I  don't know if I would have gotten any service at all if it weren't for him.Not to mention, while I was waiting for service I saw a group of employees eating dinner, joking around and counting their tips from brunch service. All that could have been done out of sight of customers if they were finished with their shifts.Overall, very disappointing experience.

I love it here!! Even if you see my pictures, you can tell it looks delicious:).The place has an excellent mood, vintage and clean :)

Everything, Sunday brunch I always order the "Short Rib Hash" and of course mimosas yumm

Food is consistently good in this busy Pasadena restaurant. Our group of 6 enjoyed a variety of appetizers and entrees, the beef stoganoff was particulalrly good and the drinks well thought out and executed. Fair pricing for the quality of food. Have not been disappointed and the outdoor dining is a plus (interior is very loud)

I came here for dinner this time. They have live music in the patio on Thursday night. The musicians are talented.It was a bit cold tonight and they do not have enough heat lamp. Our food got cold quickly.Service was awesome. Out server was very friendly and attentive. Service was fast! However, they do not have complimentary bread to offer.Here are what we ordered:Crispy Cauliflower Flourets: this is my favorite dish tonight. It was well seasoned, very flavorful, but slightly too oily.Lemon herb grill chicken: it was a giant piece of chicken. However, it was overcooked and under seasoned. The meat was rough.Salmon salad: the salad did not have enough salad dressing. The salmon was over cooked and under seasoned.I love the brunch here, and gave 5 stars for brunch. However, dinner was disappointed. I will probably return for brunch, but not dinner.
