Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Pasadena

My husband and I had Christmas Day breakfast there as it was included as a special for staying the night at the Langham. Customer service was outstanding as everyone was attentive and courteous. The food was good and hit the spot for breakfast. I did wish there was more combination plates so that the items I wanted didn't need to be added. There was an all you can eat brunch option but I was afraid I couldn't eat that much and it wasn't worth the $59 for me. Very much a family atmosphere in the restaurant which was fine. The view of the hotel and pool was nice and the restaurant was beautiful as everything at the Langham was just amazing. We would definitely come back to have a nice meal.

We spent our third consecutive Christmas Eve at The Raymond having a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with carolers dressed in period garb singing Christmas carols throughout the eating areas. Despite how busy the evening was, we felt relaxed, unrushed, and the ambiance the service were great, the food was excellent, and the ambiance exceptional. Love The Raymond for its charm and history. Always cozy and intimate.

It’s an authentic Italian restaurant. The owner and staff has always been welcoming and friendly. The pastas are freshly made along with the specials. The fish are smoked and prepared with traditional techniques of hickory wood. Great selection of Italian wines make it complete. It’s a great family run ristorante!

This is an amazing little place for an afternoon tea that is SO reasonably priced (and there is a very reasonable surcharge for sharing which isn't always the case)! The food was delicious and the place is charming. We were 6 people at the Pasadena location on a Monday for a 2:30 holiday tea after going to the Norton Simon museum, and it was decorated for the holidays and really welcoming. Some in our party ordered off the menu and the rest of us got the Chado afternoon tea. We all loved it. My only caveat is that it took a crazy long time for our food to arrive (maybe an hour?) we had a lot to catch up on so we just enjoyed drinking our tea and didn't really mind. My daughter and I ordered strawberries and cream when we first arrived since we barely even had breakfast, and we were so glad we did, since everything else didn't arrive for another hour, and even then, my tea tower wasn't ready for another 10 or 15 minutes after everyone else's. We were there on a Monday at 2:30pm and it seems like there might have been a rush before us (it was pretty full when we arrived) and then we were the only people there, and there was only one waiter, so I can't imagine this normally happens, and ANYHOW I would still go back!

I like True Kitchen cery much. I have been several times abd always have great food and service. Today I was able to take my sister and niece to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I’ve always eaten outside and today was the first time eating indoors. The food, ambiance, and service was spectacular. It was a little noisier than what I like but it did not dampen our lunch. Out server Kat was great. She even gave my sister a free dessert for her birthday. True Kitchen has something for everyone! I love it.
