The Arbour

I've been eyeing this place for a while because it always looks so fancy when I walk by. They describe themselves as a farm-to-table restaurant, so I decided to stop in for dinner on a Wednesday night. I didn't have a reservation but got seated right away. The service and ambiance were great, and it's definitely a nice spot for a date or a relaxed dinner. We ordered the beef tartare, shaved brussels sprout salad, shrimp penne, and Mediterranean seabass. The tartare was light but didn't have much flavor, and the brussels sprout salad was heavy on the goat cheese, which might be a hit or miss depending on your taste. The seabass was amazing. Perfectly cooked, super moist with crispy skin, and the sides that came with it were delicious. The shrimp penne was also really good, with a flavorfu

Celebrated my friend’s birthday at The Arbour Pasadena, and everything was perfect! We were seated in front of the fireplace, such a cozy, beautiful spot. The oysters and crab toast were incredible, and the bucatini spaghetti and braised short rib were 10/10. Service was amazing, and Matt, the manager, made sure we were well taken care of. My friend even got a surprise birthday dessert! Great food, delicious drinks, and such a warm atmosphere. A true Pasadena gem, chef’s kiss!

Absolutely awesome dining experience for our 18th anniversary outing on a busy Saturday night in Pasadena. Started off at the bar for drinks with Zack the bartender. Then transitioned to the center booth for appetizers and main courses. Sea bass and yellow tail tuna was very tasty as was the bread/butter, beet salad and steak tartare appetizer. They even gave us a free happy anniversary dessert it was delicious. Ambiance is lively, crowded, fun. We waited 45 mins for a table. Drinks were very good overall (mixed and beer). Restroom was very clean. No complaints whatsoever; we’ll be back soon, highly recommended.

This was such a fantastic experience. From service to food, it was wonderful. Our daughter practically licked her plate clean. We had the mushroom risotto, seabass, chicken and tuna. We also tried four different apps and four different desserts. They were all amazing but the crab puffs and bread pudding were our favorite. My wife is vegan and they very nicely offered accommodations for that as well. Overall, seriously one is the best meals ever.

All around amazing restaurant. My only note is the dinner rolls are a little dry. Good but not as good as a restaurant of this caliber should be rolling with. The experience is otherwise perfect. Nice layout, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Open kitchen. Duck was tender. Tagliatelle with braised short rib was perfect all the way around. Strong blue cheese of you like that. Walnut for a good crunch. Our waiter gave Mr a birthday dessert which is primo. Cheesecake and ice cream with a delicious brown sugar graham crumble and toasted marshmallow topping.
