Dine where the stars eat  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

If you have some money and want to take someone to a nice birthday dinner, or treat yourself right, this is the place to go. It's a little pricey, but the food is good

Nice atmosphere!  4 Star Rating - Very good

This place is very lively and busy on the weekends. There is always music and dancing. The menu can be pricey but the food is quite tasty. It is located in a nice part of pasadena.

Fun Friday Night Dinner  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

My friend had her bachelorette dinner party here and we had a great time. The food was good, but it is one of those places where you might expect one thing and then get another. Still good food, but sometimes just not what you expect. The drinks were good and the live music made it fun. We sat a little close to the stage, so it was a little hard to talk over the music. But when the band went on break, we could hear each other just fine.
The restaurant closes and then it just becomes a night club atmosphere, but hopefully your waiter will be as good as ours and you know that the kitchen will be closing and ask if there is anything else you would like.
I do recommend dessert. Those were good too.

Maybe for dinner, but not brunch...  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Just had brunch at this restaurant with my family this weekend to celebrate "Grandparent's Day". The atmosphere was great and easily accommodated large parties (we had 20 total in our party)! There was some jazz being played by a live band. However, I was disappointed with the food selection. There was not much variety and some of the items like the quiche looked so dry that I didn't even bother taking any (and I love quiche!). Also, juice was not included in the price of the brunch. With the price over $38/pp (that includes tax & gratuity), I expect juice to be included. I definitely will not have brunch there again. I might give dinner a try, but not anytime soon.

Sweet Ambience 5 Star Rating - World class

I enjoy this restaurant so much! It's got a great patio eating area and the food is just great. I always enjoy my visit here. The staff is very friendly and the service has yet to disappoint me. They also play great jazz in the evening. A nice glass of wine and wonderful tunes.... :)

Pros: Great Environment, Great Service

Super Vibe! 5 Star Rating - World class

Friends took me here last night for dinner, and they confirmed my trust in their good taste!
From the moment we walked in we were treated as valued guests. The service and food was great, and as mentioned the vibe was right on! Wish we had one in NorCal!

What's all the ruckus? 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I don't know what everyone is raving about with this place. I was not impressed with their food. Had a luncheon with some friends and we all agreed that it wasn't all that. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to those who have a knack for flavorful food even if it is just a simple pasta dish. It was just too ordinary. It's okay I guess you're into sitting in a garden-like room but I like to spend my money on GOOD FOOD not just ambiance.

Pros: Nice outdoor dining room
Cons: Valet, aloof hostess, so-so lunch

Nice atmosphere 4 Star Rating - Very good

Good food, very nice to eat here when it's nice weather. Always good service and I believe that they have live music Friday and Saturday evening until 10pm.

Pros: Happy hour, Lunch specials, great pizzas
Cons: Pasadena traffic/parking is tough but they have a structure adjacent to the restaurant
