Best Date Night Restaurants in South Pasadena

The bus people were a bit overzealous refilling water and removing plates 😄

This was our first time as a family having our Thanksgiving meal away from home. The entire experience was very special, intimate, food was delicious, servers, music outstanding, vibe perfect…we sat outside on garden patio. It was heaven! (The weather was 73 and sunny!)… The only reason I did not give a 5 for service was ONLY because it was Thanksgiving Day and it seemed they might have been slightly short staffed, however, the servers were delightful and working VERY hard. They just could have had a few more which would assist with getting drinks/water refreshed or other incidentals. I highly recommend The Raymond as a must experience restaurant if you’re looking if for a garden, romantic, historical, beautiful restaurant with amazing food choices, located in Pasadena.

Ignacio, the manager, was a delight. Our experience on Thanksgiving day was wonderful. The food was amazing and so was the presentation. We were going to be seated on the patio, but the manager was kind enough to seat us inside instead. Ignacio brought my mother an alcoholic beverage for her birthday and even brought her a slice of birthday cake. The souvenir lavender candle was also very thoughtful. We would definitely come back again. This was a good choice to spend our holiday brunch there.

I have to say, Ive been to Dunsmoor only a few times, but it feels like it just keeps getting better and better and the restaurant and food were already incredible the first time. The service is always top notch and the atmosphere is a really great vibe. I can't say enough great things about Dunsmoor.

We’ve eaten here before but this time the food wasn’t up to par. Would not go back.
