Best American Restaurants in Pasadena

The food was great, but it was so busy that you end up waiting hungry to get food when gaggles of people walk in at once. They were quick to replace food that ran out. Drinks were so-so but I think we just picked drinks that weren’t for us.

This was my first time here. Made Valentine’s Day reservations. We were seated immediately, seating was comfortable and we were seated next to a window by the patio which was cool because they had fires on the patio and it made where we were sitting more romantic. They went the extra mile and gave every woman a long stem nice quality rose. All the staff was super nice and helpful with suggestions. Neither of us have done “farm to table” before. They had many options that sounded good and we both had to choose and needed up getting the same thing. The food was great, I couldn’t eat it fast enough 😅 it was a bit pricey but that’s to be expected with the farm to table stuff I assume. Wasn’t so expensive though. We decided we want to go back and try other options soon. Also the interior design was gorgeous. Very cozy ambiance. I definitely recommend trying The Lodge at least once if you are in the Pasadena area. It’s right where green turtle used to be. I would like to thank The Lodge for their help in making our first Valentine’s Day date together a memorable experience

Cooper’s Hawk offers a perfect blend of delicious food, exceptional wine, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone, from flavorful appetizers to expertly prepared entrees. Their wine pairings elevate the experience, and the service is always top-notch. A must-visit for wine lovers and foodies alike!”

We visited for a pre-Valentine's Day date night with the new V-Day specials/drinks that they advertised on Facebook/IG. The food at Park Tavern never disappoints and is always amazing. There are always new monthly specials that make it worth it to visit a few times each month. The staff here make it a super friendly experience and are one of the main reasons we frequent Park Tavern. Everyone is so welcoming and the atmosphere itself always puts off a good vibe. We recommend this to all of our friends and even my wife's work holiday party gets held here.

Staff was very friendly and the food was very good. The only problem was the timing of the delivery of the appetizers and the main course. The appetizers were delivered and Within a few minutes the food was being brought to the table. Maybe being it was lunch time and they had just opened the kitchen was super fast between the courses. The soup was very filling so I ended up taking the hamburger home for another meal. I’d love to return and try more from the menu.
