Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in La Canada

The Tam is always such a wonderful place to go during the holidays. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is so festive. My good friend and I have been coming for years and mainly for the Dickens carolers and this year did not disappoint! There were three groups performing around the restaurant and we were delighted to have at least a half dozen table-side performances. The service was good considering how busy it was and we both had the filet mignon, which was quite tender and flavorful. My friend’s was a bit undercooked, but our server took care of it and quickly returned it hot and cooked to her liking. If you’re looking for a place with good food and service and a joyous holiday spirit and beautifully sung Christmas carols, definitely check out the Tam.

This was the second time I had tea at the Gardens. The first time we were a small party of 3 celebrating my sister's B-day in the March. This time we were a large party (of 10) for a day-after-Christmas party, after visiting the gardens. And though we were a big group, the staff kept our tea non-chaotic without feeling confining. The service was attentive without being invasive; the hot tea pots were kept filled with an assortment of delicious teas and each tea sandwich was seasonally exquisite and quietly delicious and different from those in March--except for the James Beard sandwich--which was a favorite at our table.

Beautiful restaurant and ambiance. Service was perhaps best we have ever experienced. This really is a steakhouse so be aware that other entrees are limited. I ordered the cod and it was very good. Another in our party ordered a steak and she said it was perfectly done. Location is very good next to the beautiful Pasadena city hall. There is ample underground parking with some validation by the restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant for those that want red meat.

Great cocktails, really good food and a lovely quiet dining room. Afterwards we moved to the bar to continue our night out. Good local place to have a dinner with friends or a special occasion meal.

We love it wonderful atmosphere and yummy food and a great service
