Pasadena Restaurant Guide & Dining Reviews
Featured Review
Starting with Rene the French husband of Gale; he is the Maitre De. A great guy gives the kiss on each cheek to my wife and a sincere handshake with me. Not phony; a sincerely friendly man. Food is great ,small bar is homey filled with regulars. Good servers especially one particular waitress a petite blonde named Tiffany (who now works days -as she told me few days ago -ran into her close by on Lake Ave.)is extremely personable and a great attentive server. Even the bus personnel are extremely efficient. I think the owner's amiable attitude trickles down to all the staff - I can't see how anybody could give this place a negative review.
