   This is the second time I've been to Cafe Santorini and it was great just like I remembered. The red curry risotto was so delicious! The mussels appetizer was good especially the sauce. The chocolate pear with cranberry sauce was so good. The tiramisu could've been a bit better. Overall, great experience to. celebrate a birthday!

   We decided to have a nice dinner on a Friday night and headed to Cafe Santorini in Pasadena. We were seated in a lovely patio area that was lit with string lights. They have heat lamps to keep you warm from the evening chill. We started with the grilled octopus appetizer. It was simple, but slightly acidic and over dressed. I got the branzino, which was nicely seared, but the plate was a little plain with just fingerling potatoes under the fish. The others in our party got the beef kabob plate. It was edible, but again, otherwise not memorable. For dessert, we enjoyed the tiramisu and a cup of coffee. Our server was pleasant and the food was brought out in a timely manner.

   Cafe Santorini is a wonderful choice for a nice dinning experience. They mostly have an outdoor patio that is fully covered in the winter. Even with heaters it can be on the cool side. So dress appropriately. We had a number of appetizers and entrees. All were solid dishes well prepared and presented. It is a very nice place that you will have a very nice time. I highly recommend you give Cafe Santorini a try.

   Love this restaurant. Music was waaay too loud. Pulsating nightclub music. Really was hard to talk. What about some lovely music that fits the theme of the restaurant. Other than that the food and service was superior. As always.

    I've been going to Cafe Santorini for years, and it's always great--especially out on that festive and scenic heated patio. The wine choices are a bit pricey, but really good. I appreciated being able to order a Santorini white blend--something you almost never see in L.A., but a no-brainer for the namesake restaurant. The vegan burrata and tomato "carpaccio" is a lovely twist on a Caprese, a lot more subtle and really delicious. Matt, our server, was absolutely wonderful: he was friendly, attentive, full of good suggestions-- and showed genuine interest in making sure we had a good time. We did--even more so than usual. This place is always a great choice for dinner in Pasadena--and is even worth the occasional drive.
