Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Duarte

Maribel was our server and she was amazing! She guided my partner and I as this was our first time dining here and gave us great recommendations. I would definitely come here again. Great experience and enjoyed Maribel’s attentiveness!

We had a fantastic Valentine's Day lunch. Eric, our server, made our afternoon very enjoyable. He was a pleasure and very attentive to our needs. We were among the first guests for the day and what I noticed was that as staff was arriving they were genuinely happy to see each other. That is important because that is projected on to the customers also. It was easy to tell that they enjoyed their work, and they came together as a team to make our afternoon most enjoyable.

Started with Martinis and oysters… delicious… we both had the petite filet for the entree with the commentaries and green beans. The steak and peppercorn sauce were delightful. We finished with affogato and chocolate lava cake..a wi derful relaxed dinner with excellent service!

The chef sent out a mushroom tea- a broth with truffles. Loved it! The beet salad was disappointing, but the grilled salad was excellent. We ordered the porterhouse steak. It was good, but not impressive. The baked potato was to die for! It tasted like Mac and cheese. Definitely order the South Pasadena cocktail-OMG- so good! We will go back. Service was excellent as was the ambiance!

What a beautiful restaurant and hotel! Our server, Rachel, was so sweet. The food was delicious! The restaurant didn't seem that busy, but it did take a bit longer than expected for the food to arrive. Otherwise, it was amazing! We will definitely go back!
