    Delicious dinner, calm, serene atmosphere, I felt right at home bc Zeth our waiter made us feel like home, he gave us his recommendations and he was just right on target. The bar tender recommended Lucha libre cocktail amd omg - one of the best drinks ever. My best two is 1 cowboy steak, - medium rare- with the perfect amount of salt- made my feet dance under the table- of course I was discreet- and same level - trio steak plate - one of them was a Japanese cut- it felt like a cloud that melted in my mouth. As always way better than the other steak houses.

    Scallops Wrapped with Pancetta - very good

    I came on a Sunday night with a dinner reservation and overall, I had a great time. Parking - valet, street or park at Wholefoods across the street The vibe is old school steakhouse, very spacious dining space. Staff are extremely attentive. Food is overall good. I recc the pancetta wrapped scallops, seabass, brussel sprouts, and grand manier soufflé. THE SOUFFLÉ IS SO GOOD. We ordered an angus ribeye medium rare but it didn't fit our preference. We prefer more sear usually. Still good. It ended up being $225 for 2 ppl w/o tip. We did not order drinks. The experience was overall positive.

    Love it here. Always get amazing service and the drinks, steaks and the soufflé are to die for. The ambiance is chill Tonight they had the Dodger game on in the bar area. The Poire cocktail is my new fave. Thanks Brent.

    Came in tonight for dinner with my family . The service was good. To start off we got the half sourdough half garlic bread, both were tasty. I ordered the ribeye medium rare . I enjoyed it and so did my daughter . My husband got a New York , it was cooked nicely but I do feel like it lacked flavor especially compared to my ribeye. As for the sides we got fries and Brussel sprouts. The fries were good of course but we weren't the biggest fans of the Brussels sprouts, they weren't tender and seemed undercooked in my opinion. They were a tad bit hard to even cut with a knife , I definitely prefer them to be soft on the inside and easy to bite.

    I've been coming here for years This place dosent change it's amazing. Service is always superb. The food, the steaks and lobsters! It's cooked perfectly, sides are good but I come for steak. Never have been disappointed with anything here.

    I can't believe I've never been here before! But we were in need of a celebration so I made a reservation and they accommodated our party with children requiring a high chair and a booster seat. Think old school steakhouse with seafood options as well and shareable sides. We shared the porterhouse for two which was huge and delicious. Our server, Julia, took very good care of us and made amazing recommendations from appetizer, entrees, to dessert. Valet parking only (unless you get lucky and find street parking) and valet takes several methods of payment. Overall, great experience.

    Great evening at Arroyo Chop House. Everything we ordered was amazing. The server's recommendations were on point! The lobster bisque was delicious and I had the special of the evening, the Tomahawk Ribeye. Definitely looking forward to coming back. It's a little dark so make sure you have your glasses if you need them to look at the menu. And they only have valet parking.

    We came here for our wedding anniversary celebrating 21 years. The restaurant is a super nice steak house with bar and two big rooms for large parties or events. The staff is very nice and extremely helpful in helping you choose your best cut. The dress code is California flare. Some dress up and some come in casual. I had the Filet Mignon and my hubby had the ribeye. Both were excellent and cooked perfectly to our liking. Everything is ale cart. So we choose half order of green beans, mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes. It was a lot more food than we needed but perfect for leftovers. Since we were celebrating our Anniversary, they had a very nice card for us on arrival.

    Hands down one of the best steak houses to grab dinner at. Came here with my friends and we had the epitome of a girls night. The staff is incredible and super attentive. The drinks are perfect each time. But most importantly the food is not only perfectly cooked, but absolutely delicious. Starting off with freshly hot sourdough bread. My oh my is it incredible with some butter. I opted for a whiskey based drink this time. Jameson, ginger ale, and some fresh lime juice squeezed in. Definitely paired perfectly with my chopped salad and petit mignon. All the ingredients were fresh on my salad and the steak was like butter when cutting into it with great flavor and texture. To end the meal, I opted for a chocolate soufflé that was just the chefs kiss. Overall, it was a perfect night. Thank you Arroyo Chop house for such incredible service and food! Definitely will be back for another girls dinner!

    STILL MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR DINNER ================================ My husband's company had a dinner for ten of us at the Arroyo Chop House on August 17, 2025 and everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. I wish I had more photos, but I got caught up with socializing and stuff. I love the surf and turf. My husband always split that and he gets the filet and I love the lobster. A few others in our group ordered that. All the sides were wonderful. We chose the garlic mashed potatoes and also split a Caesar salad. The drinks were great. I loved my Old Fashioned. We also had a bottle of red wine which was delicious. We ordered two orders of the sourdough bread and garlic bread which is split 50/50. That was the first time I've had their garlic bread and I loved that. We ordered three big desserts for our table to share which was perfect. Julia, our server was amazing from the beginning to the end. My anniversary is coming up in a week and I want to go again. That's how much I love it.

    Went to celebrate for my dad's birthday, they accommodated 8 quests beautifully. Our server was helpful with the menu and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was soooo good. I wasn't too impressed with my Halibut, but I tried something different so my fault! Regardless it was still good, just not something I would get again. The steak is where it's at! The lobster mashed potatoes were very impressive, I feel like you get lobster mashed potatoes and it's okay but not this one. The flavor was all there! Do not miss out on dessert!!! Both the soufflés were delicious, I would go back just for them both! They have chocolate and grand marnier (had to get both)

    Fancy steak house dinner ambiance feel. Service was great. Waiter timed food perfectly. Get the garlic bread! Did the 50/50 option but everyone wanted the garlic bread. Sourdough is on the house so j order the garlic it'll be everyone's fav. Do the wagyu. It's worth it. Tender and juicy. Melts in your mouth. My wife and I shared the surf/turf and upgraded to the wagyu and it was far greater than the reg one of which my sis in law got.

    Ask the Community - Arroyo Chop House

    Can children eat here?

    There is no kid's menu and it is strictly an upscale dining experience. However children can eat there so it's important to look at the menu before going.

    Does anyone know if the Steak is sourced from Creekstone?

    Hi! I grew up in the area and now live up North! Will be in town soon. Do you still have outdoor seating?

    Yes they do. And so does The Parkway Grill next door.

    Never heard of 8+ Japanese wagyu. How does it compare to A5?

    Hi Mark, 8+ is the highest grade of domestic wagyu (raised here in the U.S. while a5 is meat imported from Japan.

    Will you continue outdoor dining through May 2022?

    Yes we plan to continue indefinitely!

    Do they still serve salmon?

    We have salmon as a seafood special most nights!

    Is this restaurant a la carte?

    Yes

    Is the Lamb Chop still available on the menu?

    Yes it is. They run out occasionally because it is popular.

    Have they brought their steak tartare back? I sure wish they would!

    Is there parking on site?

    Yes. Valet is complimentary.

    I just tried calling to book a reservation since outdoor dining is opening back up and they told me you weren't taking reservations yet, however, one other person asked and you replied that you were. How can I make a reservation?

    We just started taking reservations today! You may call the restaurant or book online at www.arroyochophouse.com/reservations… Read more

    Is outdoor seating currently available?

    Yes, it is!! You can call and reserve if you would like.

    What's the green jello sauce called for the lamb chops?

    The sauce is a mint jelly, thank you for asking!

    Do they have a corkage fee?

    Hello! Sorry I did not see any info in their alcohol menu.

    What is in the seafood platter dish?

    Yes!

    Are pets allowed on the patio?

    Sorry no pets allowed on the patio.

    Has anyone tried the chop house burger? If you have, how is it?

    Is it not good to have dinner with kids here? But I have to! @_@

    i think i've seen people with kids....not sure your kids ages. when we went we took our daughter to kids klub while we ate. happy to tell you about kids klub weekend care - you can PM me.

    Is there a kids' menu?

    Fairly confident there isn't.

    Is there a cake cutting fee if we cut the cake ourselves?

    Yes you will still be charged a "cakeage" for bringing your own cake instead of ordering from their menu. It's a standard practice. But if you have a huge bill for the meal you and your group are paying then maybe you can talk to the manager and… Read more

I've been going to them more and more, and The Lucky Tiki was one I definitely had to try out. First off, I have to praise 1933 group because I have loved every single bar they have revitalized and this one is no different. In keeping with their MO, The Lucky Tiki is a speakeasy with a vintage vibe. I won't give away how to get in but let's just say, it's near the front of Highland Park Bowl. My husband and I didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name in and got seated about an hour or so later. I was amazed as soon as I walked in the door! It's just floor to ceiling decorated with everything tiki. So many fun details and even interactive elements that turn on when a particular drink was ordered. That was probably my favorite part honestly. We ordered the Tiki Diablo, which is a large tiki drink with a flaming volcano. And yes it does have an interactive element. It was really good. Very fruity and strong, but not overly so. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on it and even waited to make sure my husband was back from the bathroom before lighting our drink on fire. We didn't try any food this time, but a lot of people were ordering the Hawaiian pizza. Do with that what you may. Will definitely be back ti try more drinks and food. Was the perfect spot for a lively date night!

How about instead of accepting $$$ for a private event that will deny customers their reservation, they make the private event work around what is available? Terrible way of doing business, but I hope they get lots of $$$ and engagement for the privileged private event attendees.

    A $150 St. Patrick's Day dinner that never happened! A $150 St. Patrick's Day dinner at Griffin's…read moreof Kinsale turned into a 90-minute wait with no food and no explanation. I'm a second-generation Irish-American from New York, and St. Patrick's Day has always meant something in my family. Growing up it was about heritage, family, and a little joy. Now that I have two daughters of my own -- very Irish-looking girls who are proud of their roots -- I wanted them to experience some of that same Irish pub spirit. So on St. Patrick's Day 2025, I took them to Griffin's of Kinsale in South Pasadena. They were so excited to be there -- the decorations, the music, the feeling of a real Irish pub. For a moment I thought, this is going to be a great memory for them. We came early because it was a school night. The restaurant was busy -- which is understandable on St. Patrick's Day. I ordered three salmon dinners for my daughters and myself. The bill came to about $150. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Over an hour and a half. During that entire time: * No one warned us the kitchen was backed up when we ordered. * No one checked on our table. * No updates. * No communication at all. Had someone simply said "Just so you know, food may take an hour or more tonight," I could have made a different decision -- especially with two kids who had school the next morning. Instead we sat downstairs watching the clock while the evening disappeared. By the end of the night my daughters -- who had been so excited walking in -- were tired, hungry, and miserable. When I asked to speak with a manager, no one came. No explanation. No apology. Restaurants get slammed on holidays. Kitchens fall behind. That happens. But ignoring a table for 90 minutes -- especially a family with children -- isn't a busy night. It's bad management. What should have been a fun St. Patrick's Day memory for my daughters turned into a long, uncomfortable evening where we felt completely invisible. For a place that trades so heavily on Irish identity and hospitality, this was about as far from hospitality as you can get. Save your $150 and celebrate St. Patrick's Day somewhere that actually wants you there. And if management would like to explain how a family ends up waiting 90 minutes with no communication, I'd genuinely be interested to hear it.

Behind Bars…read moreis a relatively new spot in Old Town Pasadena located where Wokcano's back bar used to be. 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.

Grandma's Purse, which features miso-infused Suntory, butterscotch, and 5 spice, was surprisingly savory and not sweet. On the other hand, Wabbit Season, which features carrot, cumin and celery among its ingredients, was surprisingly sweet. Go figure. I enjoyed the novelty of those drinks but I probably would not get them again. I would be interested in trying out some of their other cocktails though.

Dark, forest green everywhere with velvet furniture and greenery hanging down from the ceiling. It's very elegant and chic. My friend and I like to go for their special burger happy hour. We get Impossible burgers and tater tots and just gab for like an hour. Their smash-burgers are so delicious, yum! My husband and I recently tried their grilled cheese and tomato soup combo, too, which we really enjoyed. Very filling. Their cocktail program has some unique flavors, which isn't always my thing. But everything I've had has been outstanding, even their mocktails. I really liked one of the new ones I had recently, which was called something like Grandma's House? I can't remember, but it was spiced and had a star anise as garnish. A bit on the pricier side, but probably because they use premium ingredients and such unique flavors combos. Love the neighborhood bar vibe. It's a welcoming little oasis in the urban jungle of Highland Park.

    I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

    Service: 5 stars, our server Kiana was outstanding. I troubled her for a glass of ice, she…read morebrought me a glass of ice and filled it with water for me and said I filled it with water for you! She read my mind and knew without me saying. They serve lukewarm water and the a/c was on but was not on ..if u catch my drift. The front hostess was also phenomenal, I had reservation for outdoor seating but since she saw that the sun was like glaring, she asked if I wanted to change to inside. Very obliging and accommodating. Food: 5 stars, surprisingly good, right amount for us. I was full but I can see where other reviewers say portions are small. It's small if u're a heavy eater. But the quality is definitely there. Ambiance: trendy, high energy, casual vibes where u can lounge and have a beer while munching on fries...or u can choose to be poshy and have a glass of wine with a salad and Chilean sea bass. It's flexible to accommodate both as there are different sections. Parking: street metered 1 hour parking. 3 stars, not their fault but 1 hour is simply not enough. It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .

Because this is a hotel bar since it's situated in The Langham 5-star luxury hotel, the drinks are expensive like $25 starting. One of my friends got a lemon-based mocktail (pretty good) and I got Cosmopolitan-type cocktail with Prosecco (pretty solid and not overly sweet, just not one of the best cocktails I tried). Another friend ordered Negroni, which is a potent cocktail with a bitter sharp, dry aftertaste. I could hardly taste any hint of sweetness in the drink. My friend thought it was too bitter, too. Honestly, for me it tastes just as bitter as a Manhattan, probably because both cocktails incorporate sweet vermouth. 3 stars for the poor customer service and wait time for standing in line to order drinks. There were 2 or 3 bartenders and they were rushing but also seemed like they weren't efficiently helping customers with drinks in a timely manner. The lounge area was meh (super limited seat spots) and the vibes were bland despite coming here on New Year's Eve. Definitely an older demographic that frequents this bar, not that it's a bad thing, just not our vibe since it would've been more fun if there other people closer to our age, so we decided to bar hop elsewhere after.

Parking is pretty easy because there is a parking lot that is free right around the corner. I believe it's Mentor -- or if you just drive a block or two away there's free residential parking. It's hit or miss if you find parking on Mission. But the Mission District of South Pasadena is historic and fun to walk around. The staff was incredibly attentive and you could tell very committed to their food and wine program. The patio outside really nice. We were able to walk in at 5:30 and eat at the bar-- and they could not have been more accommodating, even though we did not have reservations. Sitting at the bar given that it's an open kitchen we could see the commitment to made to order food and it's the type of place that if anyone did have an issue with their meal, I am sure they would rectify it. They let me try sips of the wine before I bought a glass. And the front of the house was very warm. We live in the Garvanza area of NE Los Angeles and we will definitely be back.
