Best Restaurants for People Watching in South Pasadena

I've now been here two times and the food has been excellent overall. I could personally do without the frequent use of chili slices. Other than that, the flavors and textures are marvelous. The brioche bread and hummus are delectable. I feel like every dish is a slam dunk - too bad there isn't a sampler platter! The decor is lovely, a few discreet fabric panels might help with the noise as its a bit hard to hear the people across from you - the sound bounces around the cavernous space. The crowd seems very chic, a bit eccentric in a fun way and more adult - that's probably the price point keeping out the under 30 crowd.

Excellent service and excellent food. All entrees were amazing and the pizza was outstanding. The drinks were great and the dessert was delicious. Our server and additional staff were attentive and providing some of the best service we’ve ever experienced. We were there for lunch and the restaurant was playing great music. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff was exceptionally great during our last visit. Every single member of the staff checked in and were so nice and accommodating. The food and drinks are always superb and even though it was cold out the heaters were blazing and made it comfortable. The lamb humus and the pear brie pizza was soooo delicious. Oh and they have gluten free pizza dough which is huge for me. I’m a fan I’m of this restaurant.

I dined here last night, and I appreciate the experience I gained with such an attentive and polite staff welcoming us into their cozy and warm ambience of the restaurant. The food was exceptional: all the flavors and quality really stood out to me. I hope to be coming back here soon, hopefully, multiple times.

We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were great and made it fun!
