Best Casual Restaurants in Temple City

Great ambience at this location in Pasadena, CA. Food quality is great. Not over seasoned or over cooked. Mixed drinks were good also not overwhelming. Would recommend The Arbour to anyone visiting the area.

The food was absolutely mouthwatering! Every dish was a flavor explosion. The open bar was the cherry on top, offering a wide variety of drinks to complement the meal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Celestino has always been our family’s favorite. There has been a big improvement in food quality and portion sizes (sadly the panna cota has still remained small) since I last patroned about 10 months ago. I’m so happy I gave it another try today! I will definitely be returning. I was there to celebrate a friend’s birthday, which I put in my notes to the restaurant and mentioned to the hostess. No birthday candle, song or treat for her though we ordered dessert.😔

We really enjoy Magnolia House. We have two Vegans in the family and although Magnolia House doesn't have extensive vegetarian or Vegan options, they were delighted with the dish they had - avocado toast. The Huevos Rancheros are some of the best around. However, the highlight of this restaurant is the wait staff and hostess. Incredibly attentive, making sure you are always well taken care of. The service alone is 5 star.

Dined on 11/6/24. My husband was with me and my two kids. Our first time there. We ordered the happy hour oysters (12) and an order of the clams & mussels. Both fantastic! All 4 dinner entrees my family ordered were presented beautifully. Big portions and great flavor. Service was great. Many servers tended to us. Water never went dry. Enjoyed our experience. We will return.
