Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Alhambra

Their menu changes completely every few months, but we've been going regularly for over 2 years, and have never had a bad meal. We've always had good service as well. Although not inexpensive, their meals offer a reasonable value compared to other restaurants within easy walking distance of the Chandler Pavilion/Music Center.

This was our first time to see a performance of the LA OPERA. I wanted to have dinner before the performance and felt that something at the Music Center itself would be best because of the traffic. Good call. Viewing the menu in advance of our evening, it seemed good but frankly, I had only moderate expectations. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! We started dinner out with a shared Caesar Salad which was excellent and the bread was fantastic. For dinner, my wife had the Steak Frites and I had the Brick1/2 Chicken. They were both superb. Our server was extremely polite and attentive. The noise level was low. You can talk and actually hear what the other person is saying. This is going to be our new go-to restaurant prior to attending performances.

Great ambience! Food & drinks were amazing! Definite must visit every time we’re in town!

Our server/hostess was Lluvia and she was PHENOMENAL!! Lluvia was very attentive and knowledgeable, and despite some hiccups with security and juggling more tables than expected, she was very professional and our party never felt ignored! We went to the Biltmore yesterday, and I can honestly say I prefer Afternoon Tea at the Dahlia. Thank you again to Lluvia, you’re a gem ❤️❤️❤️

Well prepared and tasty food in a lovely outdoor space.
