Had reservation at 5:30 but we were not seated until 6:00 when they tried to seat us outdoors (where is was cold and I was with an 89 year old mother who is diabetic and had taken her insulin anticipating eating at 5:30). Did not realize it was a pre-fix dinner when I made the reservations through open table. The first course was a "honey crisp apple " salad which had no apples and was sent back. The green bean almandine was hard as rocks and not cooked?. The main course of turkey and the winter squash was very tasty! The other issue was I ordered a $100 bottle of pinot (Goldeneye 2015) and they brought white wine glasses. I said to the waiter that if I order a bottle of pinot I expect to have pinot/burgundy glasses and suggested they go upstairs to the Royce and get some! Finally the manager got some but overall it was a bad experience for Christmas day dining!Dear Peppy,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your holiday meal at The Terrace. We truly apologize for the issues which you encountered, and have reviewed them internally in detail with our Terrace staff and culinary team as we prepare for future holidays. We hope to have an opportunity to welcome you in the future so we may offer an improved experience.Best Regards,Paul LeclercManaging Director

6 for lunch. We were seated on the patio near the front entrance. Overhead heaters and a sunny day provided warmth. Waiter was very attentive and quick to respond to requests. I had the Spicy BLT. If you like bacon lots of spicy bacon this is for you. It comes with bibb lettuce, marinated tomato, alfalfa sprouts and avocado-cilantro mayo on a toasted multigrain bread. Others had the Vegetarian Sandwich and the Blueberry and sweet corned salad. All said tasted very good. For dessert we all shared two Toasted Macaroons with vanilla ice cream with a berry sauce. The restaurant is on a small one way side street. Finding that street can be a challenge even with GPS. So be aware and drive slow as you can miss it.There is parking on the street or in their lot which can accomodate a few cars.

We had a jolly family get together at Mike & Anneâs Restaurant in South Pasadena. It was an expensiveish dinner as we had two bottles of their house white wine, which cost almost $100. But for a family evening, there were no arguments, and the food was good and the service friendly.

Wow, Russellâs is perfection folks. Lighting quick service and delicious food. What is better? Our food wait time was literally five minutes! Me and my wife both had pancakes (she had banana pancakes), eggs, bacon, a blueberry muffin and a breakfast burrito to go. We reheated the burrito the next day for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! That just goes to show you the fresh ingredients they use. If you are in the greater Los Angeles area, the drive to Pasadena is worth the trip. You can park on the street or just park in the garage and the business will validate your parking. Pure perfection!

Dined out on the patio. It was a very warm day, but they have a commercial grade, free standing air conditioner out there and it really helped. They serve French pressed coffee. The food and service was very good, there were about 35 of us. They are also a pizzeria. When leaving, the dining room which is quite large was totally packed with patrons. I have a feeling this is a neighborhood gem restaurant.

Wide variety of exquisite selections on the menu. Pasta, seafood and steak choices all were outstanding and made it a difficult choice. Lobster crepe appetizer was delicious and fully endowed. Delicious lobster bisque sauce topped it off. I had the pan seared sea bass as a main course. Presentation was picturesque. Absolutely delicious. Wide variety of desserts as well. Again fabulous presentation. Moreover, our service was truly exceptional.

Exquisitely enchanting experience within an historic setting along tree-lined streets, this European-inspired restaurant offers welcoming service and delicious dining within elegant, but not stuffy, surroundings. Floral arrangements and music delight, with seating on the garden front patio or within the intimate, elegant, wood-paneled library room adorned with frescoed ceiling. Enjoy a white peach Mimosa or Sangria with your signature Rosemary & Currant Bread house specialty. Finish with a decadent dessert. As you will not want to return to reality by departing, wander into the attached Gourmet Market & Gift Shop to complete this truly enjoyable experience. I am anxious to revisit this lovely family-owned venue.
