Best Lunch Restaurants in Pasadena

Our son’s 28th birthday was a big success thanks to an outstanding experience at dinner. Our server Robert, and his helper Antonio, were professional and promptly attended to all our needs. The steaks were perfectly prepared to everyone’s requested done-ness. Thanks for a great time! Mike

Rib eye, Fleming potato’s, asparagus, old fashion, strawberry drink, and cheesecake all phenomenal! Service is the best! Vibe, ambience is elegant relaxing very pleasant. I still can’t stop thinking about that steak with the butters! Sooo good 🤤

This was our second time eating here. Service was outstanding both times. Ambience is lovely. The bread service was amazing! Food was very good. Highly recommend for a date night or special dinner.

We celebrated two birthdays at Fogo de Chao last Thursday. We booked an early slot for dinner and walked into a well-lit room that really showed off the magnificent architecture and décor. The salad bar was marvelous as always with a good assortment of meats, cheeses, fruits and veggies. The entire serving staff was attentive and helpful. I can't pick a fave for the meats - they're all delicious! My one tiny criticism is when they decided to dim the lights, it was a bit too dark to see much of anything, even after our eyes adjusted. We have flashlights in our phones to find the fork we dropped, not so we can see the bill. Or perhaps that's the point? It can be a pricey meal - but I think it's worth it.

Great service and decent food. Drinks were lovely. We were drowning our sorrows from Rose Bowl defeat and it’s our fifth time at El Cholo. Traditions die hard.
