   Absolutely loved this place. Thank god another restaurant canceled our NYE reservation two days before so I could book this location. First off, the food was amazing. All the plates were had an everyone was HAPPY. I loved it because you can order 5 plates and get to taste it all. Trust me you won’t leave hungry. Service now that was something to be looked at. From watching others around I will say we got a bad apple. All the others we constantly saw but not ours. Our waitress: got one of the first orders wrong, but never checked to see if it came out ok. The person who brought the food never told our waitress either. Then she would disappear for 15 minutes at a time without checking drinks, more plates, etc. When the bill came, we were getting charged for drinks that were in the drink package we got, so the bill had to be corrected. No excuse for that. But the biggest no no was the fact she dropped off what we thought was our check and it happened to be someone else’s but it also had their credit card with it. It wasn’t even a table next to us, it was about 4 over. It sat with us for 15 minutes as that’s how long it took for her to come back. Overall great place, great food!

   Wonderful food at a great price. We were delighted by the assortment of tapas available. The 5 dishes for $25 was awesome but there’s an asterisk there - some dishes cost $3 extra such as the espresso pork ribs, mussels and khachapuri. Some of the dishes were a bit of a miss (mussels lacked the curry flavor and were more coconut-forward, the espresso ribs were too sweet) but the khachapuri was divine (cheese and egg in a bread boat - heavenly!), the meatballs were big and delicious, the Hawaiian chicken sando was so satisfying, and the tuna tataki never disappoints. It’s such a great offering for the budget-conscious, which is why we’re there all the time. Service was impeccable as always.

   The Tapas choices though not as exhaustive as I had expected were very good, though some could be further improved. Not being a cheese lover eliminated quite a few options. The pork ribs were remarkable.

   Everything was awesome just that it took a while to get one of our tapas out that i had to ask for the check then it came out 10 mins later and then they gave us our check immediately after besides that free parking validation up to 2 hours!

   Very very disappointed at this restaurant on Christmas Day: 1) Music is way too loud. Impossible to have a real conversation for a party of 6+. Sadly, they have no way to turn down the volume. If you want to just go to a restaurant and not talk to your friends/family, then pick this spot. 2) By 6pm, they ran out of their rib eye. What? How? They said they ran out for the last 2 days. This is the main main item on their menu and they ran out. Incompetent management? 3) By 730pm, they ran out sorbet. Wow, one of the main menu items and they ran out. So sad. 4) They missed several of our orders and we had to constantly ask about where the pasta dish is at, etc. The only bright side is that the server was very pleasant.

   Le Grand in Pasadena provided an unforgettable dining experience on Christmas Eve. From the cozy atmosphere to the festive holiday spirit, everything was perfectly curated for a special night out. We started with the buffalo chicken wings, which were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and tangy flavor an absolute crowd-pleaser. The espresso pork ribs stole the show with their tender texture and a unique smoky-sweet glaze that was incredibly addictive. The Elote was a delightful twist on a classic, with charred corn, creamy toppings, and just a hint of spice that made it irresistible. The pesto ravioli was rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented—an indulgent treat that rounded out the meal perfectly. The drinks were just as impressive. The hibiscus margaritas were vibrant, refreshing, and expertly balanced a wonderful festive cocktail that paired seamlessly with the bold flavors of the food. The service was exceptional, with the staff attentive and eager to make the evening memorable. Le Grand truly knows how to combine incredible food, drinks, and ambiance into a one-of-a-kind experience. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy an incredible meal, Le Grand is a must-visit. Their tapas and drinks made our Christmas Eve extraordinary, and we can’t wait to return!

    We were celebrating my dad‘s birthday at Le Grand and it was amazing! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so welcoming and fun. I will definitely be going back.
