Once you walk in, the vibe instantly transforms into a sexy and luxurious space with dim lighting, cushioned seats, and interesting artwork hanging on the wall. They have quite a few drinks on their menu. I like how the menu highlights the flavors of each cocktail so it makes it easier to find a drink that will suite your tastes. We ordered the beauty and the beast and friends and neighbors drink. Both cocktails tasted very light and delicious. On top of that, the beauty and the beast drink comes in a cute rose shaped glass which matches the name perfectly! The servers were very attentive and would check in on us periodically. They also give you some chips that you can munch on while enjoying your drink. This spot is perfect for a date or girls night out! I definitely want to come back and try their other drinks!

Go downstairs, whether by stairs or elevator... where there are multiple bathrooms. And ask the nearest person how to get to Ladies and Gentlemen, to be let in. Fun, and whimsical, and definitely a space with a theme. First and more importantly, the cocktails and the food is definitely quality. And they will charge you quality pricing for the luxuriousness of it all. Seating, tables, candles, ambiance. I mean, the walls lined up with crafted skulls ain't gonna pay for itself. The staff is friendly, and helpful. And classy. The places oozes class. A great place to chat and catch up with friends. Where the ambient noise isn't so loud that you really need to raise your voice to talk. As a single person who came with a book to read and study... it's dim lighting so I had to make use of candlelight. This really is meant to be more of a social spot. I came in on a weekday to catch the Suntory promotion, which came with some nice collectibles to pair with your highball. I feel like every cocktail I've had here so far has a great sense of balance and technique. I'll probably come back and try their omakase course of cocktails at some point. Is it "kami no glass?" (The Glass of God) - I haven't found one that has touched my soul to that extent, but they do have an extensive list to explore. The food menu consists of luxurious bites from burrata, crudo, bone marrow, oysters, and the like. Gourmet pairings for your expensive tastes.

For dessert, I had the Yuzu Olive Oil Cake - oh my, it was sooo good, loved it. Berry Lemonade was good but a little too sweet for my taste. Arturo was our server and was attentive and helpful. Overall, a really good experience. I'll definitely come back :)

Loved our brunch here at Magnolia House, just wish they had a high chair!…read more We came here to celebrate a birthday and it was my first time dining here. I love how cute the interior design of this restaurant is - it felt cozy and the chairs are so comfortable it makes you feel right at home. There were some tables for traditional style dining, and there were some couches for light bites. We sat inside the restaurant right by the street, perfect for a people watching lover like me. Since we had our toddler with us, we asked for a high chair but they said they didn't have any, which was quite disappointing for a restaurant like this. Luckily our table had a loveseat type couch, so we were able to squeeze our toddler in between us during the meal. We were here for the weekend brunch and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the price of the menu items! For a restaurant on Lake, I was expecting more. I got the crab cakes benedict ($20) and it was just perfect - not too salty, and the portions were just right. Overall, great experience here, easy to find parking in the lots behind the restaurant, just wish they had high chairs to accommodate families.

What a beautiful setting for my husband's 60th birthday brunch!…read more OSA Rooftop in Pasadena is a tranquil rooftop setting on Colorado Boulevard. All the menus are superb: brunch, shareables, dinner, and cocktails. We were seated by Adam, who was super nice and very hospitable. He adjusted our umbrella to make sure that we had enough shade. We were waited on by Delaiah and Anna, who both went out of their way to make sure my husband's birthday brunch was perfect. We shared the OSA burger and the Al Pastor chicken. The burger was cooked perfectly, and the chicken was flavorful and tender with a fantastic Verde sauce. I don't usually care for slaw, but this slaw was light and pure, with peanuts and red onions, and not mayonnaisey at all. The fries were also cooked perfectly, and they weren't overdone. The tequila and beet cocktail was earthy and refreshing and unique and delicious! Best cocktail I've had in a long time. The view is stellar. It makes you feel peaceful and like you're a million miles away. We had our pug with us, and he was served ice water and treated like another restaurant guest. :) Thank you for being dog friendly for well-behaved dogs! Anna and Delaiah gave my hubby a complementary vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup sundae with a candle. So lovely. It was a perfect day. A beautiful day. Thank you, OSA Rooftop!

Located as part of the AC Hotel in Pasadena, I expected it to just be a chill hotel lounge with…read moresome food. But, that wasn't the case. Osa Rooftop was chill but it served up someone way more than that. Let's start with the layout and location, Osa has its own entrance right outside on Colorado Blvd. Which takes directly up to the space. But was really fun was the ambient lighting to the elevator. Lined with warm orange lighting and linen, it was quite the touch to set the tone for the space I was about to enter. As you exit you treated to wooden tables ceramics and a fun patio area that is such a warm atmosphere. I waited by the bar which was covered which served up some views of Pasadena and surrounding mountain ranges. I grabbed my cocktail and we were seated not to long after. For food, here is what we ordered: - Charred Brussel Sprouts Brussel Sprouts are such an underrated appetizer. This was so good. Crispy, thanks to the marcona almonds, and Savory. the Pomegranate Vinaigrette added a tart touch to it that really made it appealing! - Steak Frites They use a Filet Mignon which was cooked to temp. Fries were crispy and the sauce added a bit more savory undertones. - Seabass (Sorry forgot the name but its there!) If I were to describe it plainly, it is like a Thai Tom Yum Seabass. The fish was wonderfully cooked and the skin added texture to the fish. the sauce added that kick that made it so good. But in terms of taste it really tasted like a Thai soup. So here's the rub, go at sunset! The view at sunset was simply magical. The sunset hits Pasadena City Hall and mountain ranges so nicely it is indeed a feast for the eyes along with your palette. Parking can be found easily around or at the hotel. This is great for a small get together or a small group to enjoy drinks and dinner or just a casual hangout. Give it a shot and joy the vibe! Cheers!

There were two menus, a small one with specialty drinks and appetizers and a large wine menu. After thoroughly reviewing the wine menu I remarked that I did not recognize a single winery/name. 50% of the menu were various reds the other 50% were sparkling wins, roses & various whites, with 1 chardonnay! The price for most was $16, a tad high for unknown wines. I asked to try the chard and while it tasted more like a sauvignon blanc, I figured we were there and what the hell. My friend had a resiling which she said was ok, both glasses were close to 3 fingers high in the glass, not much, and $16. Our server was pleasant but was having to work the entire seating area. I am hoping with new owners, the wine menu gets revamped with known labels & more diversity

Blink & you'll miss it because there is no sign. However, it's next door to Edwin Mills by Equator. I met my lovely Sisters B here for Happy Hour. The place gives off friendly neighborhood dive bar vibes. Bartender Lou is fantastic! Friendly, upbeat, & attentive. 5 stars for him. The cleverly named cocktails incorporate unique ingredients such as Ube Syrup, Ube beer, & lime dust. Our drink order consisted of Don't Be a Prick, Moon Rocks, & Purple Peter Eater. Lou was kind enough to create a lovely mocktail for Ms. Hannah. The Purple Peter Eater is a picturesque drink that combines rum with Ube beer and gets its pretty hue from Ube Syrup. The Moon Rocks had a bit of a kick and is a tad on the sweet side. I really enjoyed the Don't Be a Prick, which was a tasty combo of Tequila, Prickly Pear Syrup, & Lime garnished with blueberries. The music can be a bit loud, but there is a quaint courtyard that is shared with adjacent restaurant Mills Alley if you prefer to sit outside. You can also order select food items from there as well. We sat inside and had a great time catching up. It's always a fun time when the Sisters B get together.
