Best Fine Dining Restaurants in El Sereno

Our favorite place for breakfast when in Pasadena.

Service was excellent, food was delicious Would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion the care by the staff was excellent.

We went early on a Saturday evening. Upon entering The Arbour, it was kind of plain-jane in decor, but the food - so many great dishes that it was difficult for the 3 of us to make a decision. I had the seared tuna. Loved it except the wasabi sauce was a little too spicy (I don't do well with spicy stuff; probably ok for everyone else). Otherwise excellent. My stepson had the salmon, it was a big filet, cooked perfectly. My husband had the chicken, it had an unusual presentation, but it was also excellent. Our waitress was so efficient, pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional that we wanted to call her "Mom." The pumpkin pie and chocolate mousse were out of this world! We'll definitely go back.

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. The attention to detail quality of the tea and the little sandwiches were so amazing. We love you need this and they had a great gluten-free and vegan option.

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.
