                                                          Great little spot, but there was an issue with a burger we ordered which we asked for "well done" but it came out at Medium temperature and when I addressed the issue with our server, she seemed bothered. The other items we got were okay except for the waffles & pancakes which we enjoyed.

                                                          Everything was amazing! The K-Town chicken wings are a must, as well as the bread and butter. The mac n cheese was piping hot and everyone enjoyed their meal! Our server (I think his name was Randy) was AWESOME!! He is also there for Sunday brunch.

                                                          Went to The Raymond for my birthday. It is a top restaurant in Pasadena. It is a great place. An old craftsman style home that was converted to a restaurant. I made reservations. We were seated very quickly and water and coffee were Ordered. We did the regular drip. It was the worst coffee I have ever had. The young man that served the drinks and cleaned up the dishes was great. Our server wasn’t very impressive. She was a little impersonal, too proper. They were good about filling up the water. When we let her know the coffee was bitter and extremely strong, she just said “Oh”. Nothing else. Not the response I was expecting. The food was amazing!!! Quickly out. We had the chilaquiles, short rib tacos and eggs Benedict. They were all delicious. Best part of the day. And the Apple coffee cake is a must do. Very very good. It would have been outstanding if the waitress was more personable and caring. I will be returning. Next time I want to sit on the patio. Very cute place.

                                                          I have been to the Raymond restaurant many times. The food first and foremost is consistently good, and the ambience and atmosphere is cozy and warm inside. The patio is nice as well, and you’re welcome to bring your dog. The staff are all very nice and welcoming.

                                                          Our server was very good. The ambiance is extremely dark, and definitely disliked the music. The electronic drum beat background with every song was obnoxious. They did serve my husband a delicious free dessert in honor of his birthday. Food was quite good. Overall, except for the percussion, we had an enjoyable time.

Thank you for a wonderful dinner and for all your attentiveness done with smiles! Everyone enjoyed the food from starters through entrees and desserts. See you soon.

For our mains, we had the short ribs and the Chilean sea bass. The bass was perfectly prepared; s slightly crispy outside, moist and tender inside. The short rib was the star ⭐️ of the night. It was tender and flavorful; yum!
