Went there for Thanksgiving dinner and everything was excellent: table was ready when I arrived at my reservation time; even thought they were quite busy, waitress did not rush me to order; when I placed my order with the very friendly, very efficient waitress, Rachael, I got the food in about 8 minutes! I normally dread going to restaurants on major holidays because usually the food is mediocre to sub-par because the kitchen is slammed, but everything, starting with the Butternut Squash Bisque to the Turkey with real (could tell because there were bits of skin which I love) mashed potatoes and a side of the delicious Apple Sage Sausage stuffing (the very nice lady at the table very highly recommended it and she was right!) to my dessert, which was actually not a dessert but one of the main course sides, the amazing Sweet Potato Casserole, was delicious and top quality; when my waitress was busy, another equally pleasant and efficient one asked if there was anything I needed; the restaurant manager stopped at my table, even though I was alone, to ask how everything was; and the sommelier, Cindy, was amazing. Delightful, very knowledgeable, and even though she didn't have her first glass of wine until 3 or 4 years ago, she already has her Level 1 som pin and is working on level 2! She recommended one of my faves, a Merry (hence the review title) Edwards Pinot, which I probably would not have had were it not for her and was killer. All in all, an excellent way to fly solo on a big holiday!

The Tap Room at the Langham is one of those special places. As part of the Langham Hotel, the understated elegance and ambience is a refreshing departure from your average hotel bar. The Tap Room menu offers a variety of scrumptious options such a Wagyu Sliders, Lobster Corn Dogs and Tuna Tartar. Enjoyed some wine and a delicious cheese plate on the patio â a special pace to enjoy the view of the stately grounds and relax on a warm afternoon. Very nice indeed!

I have been wanting to go to an Umami Burger for several years and finally got the chance. I got the Manly burger and my wife got the Cali burger. Both were cooked to perfection, nice and juicy, and the toppings were good pairings. The truffle fries were crispy and flavorful. The staff was very courteous and helpful. It's awesome that you finally got a chance to check out Umami, and even more so that everything about your visit was a success, from the perfectly cooked burgers and flavorful fries to the courteous, helpful service. We truly appreciate you taking a moment to share your fantastic experience with us! Gratefully, Umami Burger Pasadena

6. Plate 38

Reviewed By KimGTravels
We enjoyed a delicious, creative lunch at Plate 38. Nicely appointed restaurant, the window/walls open to reveal outdoor seating, protected by awnings overhead and plantings for blocking street views & noise. Owner-Chef Robert Humphreys is a Culinary Institute graduate, and recipient of the 2014 Best Chef Winner of Pasadena Weekly. A large gathering celebrating birthday festivities was quite loud on our visit, however; I would imagine that generally the restaurant would be more quiet. The bar also appeared to be quite popular. Service was also very friendly; definitely worth a visit.

I enjoyed lunch here this past week. The fish and chips were excellent and the service was good. Seating is another matter. Tables inside are small and crowded. Tables outside are cheap and plastic. Hope they upgrade their seating soon, this would be a great place to hang out.

During a recent work trip, my colleague wanted to stop by for a 50/50 burger because she had fond memories of previous visits. We were both disappointed by the quality of the dishes, saltiness, and changes in the menu. I was also rather disappointed by how bad the bathroom smelled. The service was kind and hospitable... albeit slow. I would not return....

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.
