Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Pasadena

Food was amazing!! The service was amazing. Last time we were there, Jonathan was our server. He took care of our party again. Very pleasant. Great conversation.  we visit many steakhouses and Nic and Stef’s is definitely on the top of our list. Highly recommend. 

10s across the board: great service and atmosphere, incredible food, nice upkeep. Seared tuna crispy rice, yams, black cod, and uni pasta were our faves. First time my date has been to Mrs. Fish; she loved it.

Glad to have had such a lovely experience last night. Those who served me were cheerful and attentive and my meal was perfectly prepared. Thanks to all, from front-of-house to servers to kitchen. Enjoyed it so much I’ve already reserved for Wednesday evening.

Splendid experience all around! Our server, Alex, was lovely. Our food was presented so beautifully. My friend and I had a lovely time dining & catching up before we went to see a show across the street. It was just such a divine experience that I am planning to take others back to San Laurel.  The only problem was that my mocktail was made with alcohol. I don’t drink because I’m sober so it was very concerning that such an error occurred. That’s never happened in all my years of ordering mocktails at other fine establishments. After two sips and having my friend try it, I was convinced that there was indeed tequila added to my lime-based drink so I asked the waiter about it and he quickly whisked it away and brought me a true mocktail that tasted of citrus and definitely had no alcohol in it. That was a weird experience. The evening ended on a great note with a surprise complementary flan dessert for my friend’s birthday that included a candle and song-a very nice touch. Of special note is that the chef is actually accommodating to guests’ dietary sensitivities such as the need for gluten and dairy free ingredients. Such a breath of fresh air since other fine dining spots don’t usually like to make such modifications to their menu items. It was very much appreciated by this diner. Thank you San Laurel!

It is always an amazing experience. Have dined there at least 20 times now if not more. Everything outstanding. From food to service to ambiance. Just superb!!!
