Best Historic Restaurants in Arcadia

My sister, Mom, and I went to the Chart House for the Christmas Day menu. In addition to a choice of soup or salad, there was a really nice variety of entrée selections, plus three desserts to choose from.  My sister had the lobster bisque and the filet mignon with mashed potatoes. I also had the lobster bisque (delicious w/actual lobster bits!) and ordered the seared Chilean Seabass served on top of lobster risotto. My mom had the Ceasar salad and the prime rib with mashed potatoes. Every dish was delicious, not too salty, and the seasoning was just right. We all opted for the chocolate lava cake, which was served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, toffee bits, and chocolate sauce on top. It was absolutely delicious! The low noise level inside was really appreciated, dining at a restaurant with an elderly person, who has trouble hearing, is always a challenge. We didn’t have any issue hearing each other during our dinner. Overall, this was such a pleasant experience and I am so happy we decided on the Chart House for our Christmas lunch.

Our 5th Holiday buffet at La Fogara Kitchen. The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Always a superior experience for any special day.

We absolutely love Cafe Monarch. We had a beautiful 4-course meal and every bite was amazing; especially the zucchini rolatini and lamb chops. The entire team at Cafe Monarch is exceptional. Special shout out to Dan at the bar that makes every drink to perfection. This experience is priceless!

Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.

Our server was excellent and very attentive and helpful. Starting with the chips, salsa and guacamole were all wonderful!!Everyone was happy with their meals also. My only complaint, which is minor there was a bit of crunch or uncooked rice in my serving. We were inside in a small back room that got pretty warm. There was no ceiling fan to help cool it down. Upon going to the rest room I found the front of the restaurant very comfortable. Love sitting outside but it was too hot.
