Restaurants near Vincent Lugo Park

The loveliest and kindest restaurant staff! Excellent food, wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, elegant decor, and they were very willing to accommodate the menu for kids. Great drinks, too. Giant pasta portions, so we didn’t make it to dessert, but we’ll plan better for next time!

This was our first time as a family having our Thanksgiving meal away from home. The entire experience was very special, intimate, food was delicious, servers, music outstanding, vibe perfect…we sat outside on garden patio. It was heaven! (The weather was 73 and sunny!)… The only reason I did not give a 5 for service was ONLY because it was Thanksgiving Day and it seemed they might have been slightly short staffed, however, the servers were delightful and working VERY hard. They just could have had a few more which would assist with getting drinks/water refreshed or other incidentals. I highly recommend The Raymond as a must experience restaurant if you’re looking if for a garden, romantic, historical, beautiful restaurant with amazing food choices, located in Pasadena.

Ignacio, the manager, was a delight. Our experience on Thanksgiving day was wonderful. The food was amazing and so was the presentation. We were going to be seated on the patio, but the manager was kind enough to seat us inside instead. Ignacio brought my mother an alcoholic beverage for her birthday and even brought her a slice of birthday cake. The souvenir lavender candle was also very thoughtful. We would definitely come back again. This was a good choice to spend our holiday brunch there.

Yasmine was excellent as was Brian who was very accommodating

An incredible culinary experience, if you can afford it. $250 for brunch for 2 people. But well worth the splurge. From the quality of the cuisine to the ambiance to the exquisite service, an all around superb once-in-a-lifetime type of experience.
