Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in South Pasadena

The service was unacceptable, after 25 minutes still did not get our cocktails. I had to call someone to find out where our order was, until then we received our order all together. Appetizer, salad and main dish, but we still had to ask for our cocktails. We were going to a concert and advised our server but to no avail.

Slow service, especially wait staff (gentlemen handling busing were on point). A bit loud from multiple music sources within the promenade. Food hitting as always.

Completely loved the customer service abd the food! Definitely coming back again!

Let me know if I am missing anything… Dining at the Living Room for lunch was a mixed experience. While the food was delicious, we were surprised to find it was more of a bar atmosphere than a dedicated restaurant. Parking proved difficult and the valet service was quite expensive. The menu, though limited, offered tasty options. My cousin thoroughly enjoyed their expertly made Brandy Alexander, a classic cocktail of cognac, crème de cacao, and cream. My W Club sandwich and my cousin’s beef sliders were both delectable, although I felt they were overpriced. To finish, we shared their only dessert option, a delicious chocolate lava cake. The service, from the bartender to our server, was excellent throughout our meal.

We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!
