One of the nicest places I have eaten at in recent times. Lovely service, delicious food, warm, and inviting ambience. And the ability to hear each other talk. What more can you ask for?

We went early on a Saturday evening. Upon entering The Arbour, it was kind of plain-jane in decor, but the food - so many great dishes that it was difficult for the 3 of us to make a decision. I had the seared tuna. Loved it except the wasabi sauce was a little too spicy (I don't do well with spicy stuff; probably ok for everyone else). Otherwise excellent. My stepson had the salmon, it was a big filet, cooked perfectly. My husband had the chicken, it had an unusual presentation, but it was also excellent. Our waitress was so efficient, pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional that we wanted to call her "Mom." The pumpkin pie and chocolate mousse were out of this world! We'll definitely go back.

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!

The Arbour restaurant is truly a Pasadena gem. The salad to start are not overdressed, the salads are also fresh and presented beautiful We each enjoyed the pasta dishes. The pasta is cooked to perfection and well seasoned. We had the pumpkin pie which is amazing From our server Patrick, the chef Ian, kitchen staff, all the staff this restaurant is wonderful.

Made a reservation for 4 at 7:30 on a Thursday night. We were seated in what I would describe as an overflow area. No place settings set up or decor at any of the tables in that section. Immediate bad vibe. Our waiter disappeared after we told him we needed more time. I believe the manager ended up taking our order. He was very nice. Didn’t see our waiter again until our meal was done and we asked to see the desert menu. He disappeared again and another waitress took our order. Food itself was good. We particularly enjoyed the Spicy beef chili toast and the Bucatini spaghetti. Maybe the service and ambiance is better in the main room.
