Best Restaurants for Groups in Highland Park

Good was good, they had great gluten free options, the piano music was nice but was rather loud. I would’ve liked to sit by the windows but it appeared there was no ramp for wheelchairs for a member of our party so we were sat by the piano which was a bit dark. The service was good however I think there should be more food for the price of each plate. Regardless, we have made it here for the past two years for Christmas and plan to continue every year.

Great food! Great Service! What a nice surprise to find this place. Definitely recommend the royal curry with soft shell, salmon appetizer, steamed bass. Can't wait to come back and try some more.

Le Grand in Pasadena provided an unforgettable dining experience on Christmas Eve. From the cozy atmosphere to the festive holiday spirit, everything was perfectly curated for a special night out. We started with the buffalo chicken wings, which were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and tangy flavor an absolute crowd-pleaser. The espresso pork ribs stole the show with their tender texture and a unique smoky-sweet glaze that was incredibly addictive. The Elote was a delightful twist on a classic, with charred corn, creamy toppings, and just a hint of spice that made it irresistible. The pesto ravioli was rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented—an indulgent treat that rounded out the meal perfectly. The drinks were just as impressive. The hibiscus margaritas were vibrant, refreshing, and expertly balanced a wonderful festive cocktail that paired seamlessly with the bold flavors of the food. The service was exceptional, with the staff attentive and eager to make the evening memorable. Le Grand truly knows how to combine incredible food, drinks, and ambiance into a one-of-a-kind experience. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy an incredible meal, Le Grand is a must-visit. Their tapas and drinks made our Christmas Eve extraordinary, and we can’t wait to return!

We spent our third consecutive Christmas Eve at The Raymond having a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with carolers dressed in period garb singing Christmas carols throughout the eating areas. Despite how busy the evening was, we felt relaxed, unrushed, and the ambiance the service were great, the food was excellent, and the ambiance exceptional. Love The Raymond for its charm and history. Always cozy and intimate.

Music a bit too loud in the back seating area! But food was great. Drinks a bit overpriced but it was a celebration dinner.
