    RESERVATION IS A MUST for the Boozy Brunch! Well, if you don't want to wait 30+ minutes, that is. Hahaha! We ended up sitting at the bar. The service was pretty good from the bar staff. They checked on us several times during our meal to make sure everything was okay. We ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and the Short Rib Hash along with their coffee. The food came out very quick... It seems the food was prepared in advance and just plated when ordered. The Crab Cake Benedict looked very good. The presentation was flawless. We dug into the poached egg on top of the crab cake. The yolk didn't run as much as we thought and hoped. However, it was good. The Crab Cake was barely warm and didn't have a crispy outside. It really didn't have much flavor at all either. It was quite disappointing. The sauce they used was quite bland and the English muffin that held the crab cakes and the poached egg on top was very chewy and didn't feel freshly toasted. I had expected so much more from this place. We asked for potatoes to be well done and crispy. They did cook it very well but it wasn't crispy at all and it was very salty. I guess the crop cake Benedict and the potatoes kind of balanced each other out, but that shouldn't be the way a dish is prepared. Both items should be tasty in itself. The short rib hash was presented quite well. The poached egg was a bit overdone as well. The short rib meats actually felt like they were actually lean meats on briskets. Flavor was good and the meat was tender. But I expected short ribs and got briskets. The sauce was good with the briskets. The potatoes... I actually expected hash browns but it was breakfast potatoes which was mixed into the sauce and was soggy. Potatoes were very salty and made the sauce salty as well. Overall, this dish was too salty for my taste. It looks like salt is the chef's favorite seasoning and they are very generous with it. We didn't make any comments about the food being too salty as we didn't want the food to go to waste. The bar staff did a good job refilling our coffee and checking to make sure our food was good. I probably won't come back because the food appears to be too salty overall for my taste. The atmosphere seems nice and they had many reserved large parties that were getting together for the Sunday brunch. Once again, make sure you make reservations!

    Foothill restaurant is located in east Pasadena, very close to the 210 freeway and San Gabriel Blvd. We visited mid-afternoon and were able to park right in front on Foothill Blvd, but I believe they have a small parking lot behind the restaurant off Wenger Alley. Seating options include the main dining room, at the bar or in the bar-half of the interior, or at a table on their spacious outdoor patio, which has plenty of covering, umbrellas, and heat lamps for colder weather. You can make a reservation on OpenTable. We sat in the main dining room. The interior has a cozy feel and good vibe, with music playing in the background at a medium level. We happened to visit on Sunday which is Greek Night. In addition to the main food and drink menu, there is an additional food and cocktail menu with Greek inspired items. We decided to share the Kleo-tini (gin, basil, Kleos mastiha, olive bitters, $14) with a Greek spirit you will probably rarely see. It was a healthy pour in what seemed like a slightly oversized martini glass. It was very good, and definitely had a unique botanical/herbal flavor unlike any I've tasted before. We started out with the zucchini chips ($16) from the Greek menu. They were thin-cut, had a light breading brading on them, with a sprinkle of I believe oregano on top. It was a good portion, and we enjoyed the zatziki sauce for dipping. For my entrée, I had the lemon herb grilled chicken (marinated organic Mary's chicken, julienne vegetables, roasted potatoes, lemon beurre blanc, $30). It was a surprisingly large piece of chicken with a nice crisp on the skin, and was smothered in that great lemon butter sauce. The chicken was nice and moist. The veggies were good, and I only had a few of the potatoes because I was stuffed. She had the grilled Scottish salmon (wild caught salmon, dill mustard buerre blanc, sautéed spinach, whipped potatoes, $36). It came with a good sized piece of fish with lots of butter sauce on top. The spinach and potatoes were also good, and she enjoyed the entrée. Our server Carolyn was friendly and provided good service. We enjoyed everything here, and the menu has a wide variety of items. They have even more offerings on Greek Sunday. We would definitely return when in the area.

    We arrived for an early lunch and they still had both the breakfast and lunch menus available, which was perfect! The aesthetics were really nice, and the ambiance was relaxed. No music playing in the background. They have TVs set up at the bar and out on the patio. Speaking of the patio--it's beautiful and a great spot to enjoy your meal outdoors, but we opted for the cool AC indoors. Our food came out in good timing while I happily sipped on my Bloody Mary. The food was good, the atmosphere was comfortable, and overall, it's a nice cool spot for lunch. Definitely a pleasant little lunch stop!

    foothill has been on my list and I made a reservation for my friends' birthdays. I would have loved to sit inside but I had my puppy with me, so we sat at the patio area. We came on a Wednesday and it was happy hour all day! Our server was attentive. Always checking in on us periodically. I had so much fun with my friends I didn't get to take photos of all the food we had. From memory we ordered: fish and chips vegetarian tacos garlic truffle fries portobello fries charcuterie platter wings ceviche devil eggs angel hair pomodoro (no photo) My favorite dish was the portobello fries. I think we ordered another one after finishing the first plate. Love that this restaurant is kid friendly and pet friendly. Unfortunately, parking was difficult to find. I parked on the street and walked over.

    This is one of those spots where you don't want something too fancy or too fast food ish. There's definitely something for everybody here whether it's steak, pasta, burgers, ceviche etc. I came here for my cousins graduation dinner and the servers were more than accommodating in helping us block out the sun when we sat outdoors! I'd definitely be back.

    Beautiful evening under the stars celebrating our 30th anniversary with this incredible woman at FOOTHILL On this 30th anniversary,she still takes my breath away. Grateful for every memory we've built and excited for all the adventures still ahead of us. Raul, our server, was excellent, attentive and made the night feel extra special. We enjoyed a crisp pinot grigio alongside the shared seafood special with seasoned small potatoes and green beans. Topped it all off with apple pie à la mode the perfect ending to a memorable night with tingling feet..

    I came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch with my partner. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful when it came to guiding us through the menu, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations. I ordered the fish and chips, and honestly, they were some of the worst I've had. The fish itself was not seasoned, and the beer batter was soggy and overwhelmingly tasted like beer--as if they were relying on it to provide all the flavor. Instead of enhancing the dish, it completely overpowered it. I also tried the Wagyu burger, and it seemed like the char on the patty was meant to be the main source of flavor. The fries were okay--nothing particularly memorable. I even tried eating the fish without the batter, hoping it would improve the taste, but it still fell flat. For the price, I expected much more in terms of flavor. Visually, the dishes looked great and were very appetizing, but the taste just didn't match. The restaurant itself is beautiful--the lighting is low, the ambiance is nice, and the music is pleasant. However, I came for the food, and for me, that's the most important part. I might consider coming back to try something else, but it won't be anytime soon.

    You know I've been coming to Foothill for quite sometime now, and my experiences were always good!! The bartenders and service were usually good. However, I came tonight with my sister, and it started off wrong. The valet guy was very unprofessional and disrespectful towards my sister. He let a person in front of her valet park, and then when she came after that person/car, he had told her that the valet was full. However, it was two people/cars behind her that he told them they can park and he will be right with them. He had said that it's because they are related to the owners, but I felt that was quite unreasonable to say mainly when you have people dining out to have a good experience, and spend their money. This put a bad taste in my mouth, but we still decided to stay because we love the food and we haven't been for a while. Luckily, out of all the employees the hostess was the best. Very nice and sat us down rapidly. Unfortunately, for our server, Carolyn I'll give a 2 1/2 star for her. I felt that she kept moving fast and wasn't really passionate about her job. We wanted light sauce and no cheese on one of our entrees and she basically said that it's best to order something else since the chef couldn't do it. She took the plate back, and my sister decide to get devil eggs. They were delicious though, I Just felt she wasn't accommodating at all. Even when we ordered the lava cake and on the menu it didn't mention that it had caramel on it, we don't eat caramel at all and it did not mention on menu, and she simply said all the ingredients are not on the menu all the time. So what made this annoying is that we asked her about and what was on the lava cake and she said it was just a plain lava cake. Hmmm just felt that she was very dry and nonchalant and did not care. Made me feel uncomfortable to tell her about the food. Shouldn't feel that way as a patron. I ordered the lemon herb chicken w/ sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes. It was great and tasted delicious!! Happy of my choice! For my drink I had Prosecco and a lemon drop, that was very tasty. Will try that again the bartender was on point. The ambiance was perfect they have a nice seating outside with tv, and nice indoor seating. The bar has a tv and a good hang out spot. They have brunch on the weekends that looks delicious so I would want to try again, but after today I'm not sure because of the service from valet and our server. I really love Foothill!! Good food and atmosphere, but tonight was not it!!! Valet is $5.00 and they do cash or zelle only. -Dr. Marshay Dede

    Food: We got the short rib quesadilla and the grilled cheese with tomato soup, both incredible. Portions were perfect, not too much, not too little, just right. Service: Very nice, and no wait to be seated inside even during a weekend lunch, which was a nice surprise. Atmosphere: Both the inside and outside seating were lovely. Great spot for a relaxed, tasty lunch! Will be back

    Iced vanilla latte with oatmilk
    Nancy L.

    The food I got was the lox avocado toast. The toast was crunchy NOT soggy, scottish salmon was not fishy at all, and the blend of seasonings, micro greens, and garnishing blended all the flavors wonderfully. I also got their vanilla iced latte with oatmilk. The coffee was okay, probably not their specialty. It was a bit watered down and there wasn't a strong coffee flavor. The service was great. I made reservations the day before and they were very accommodating when I needed to change the time. One of our girlies was running a little late but they still sat us at our table and started taking our orders! Very friendly and personable staff The outside seating area is perfect for a brunch day. I wish we were able to sit outside but it was really windy the day I went. Inside is a little dark but each table was spacious enough for large group seating.

    The restaurant has a small parking lot in the back or street parking. They have an outdoor patio and indoor seating both with good ambience and vibes. We sat in the patio and nicely shaded with alot of umbrellas and cute decor with lots of greenery. We tried the og waffle, chicken chilaquiles and short rib quesadilla - all delicious. Staff was very attentive and super friendly.

    Cobb Salad
    Melissa V.

    Came here for Mother's Day brunch and the ambiance was pleasant. We sat outside on the patio and the weather was perfect. Our food took about an hour to come out and when we received it, there was a mix up on our ribeye steak and one was cooked medium when we requested medium rare. The cobb salad, lox avocado toast and short rib hash was tasty! The steak and burrito was okay, My son also did not like his burger. This is my 2nd time here and I honestly do not see what's so special about this place and probably wouldn't come back since food is okay and there's limited parking.

    Ask the Community - foothill

    Is there parking?

    There is a very small parking lot through the back alley and there is street parking. Can be pretty hard to find parking near by the business on a busy day.

    Is it ok to bring a cake?

    Yes! However we do charge a dessert fee of $2.50 per guest for any outside desserts.

    Is there music during Sunday brunch?

    Just over the speakers, not live (as of about a month ago)

    Can you order off the regular menu during brunch?

    We were told "no" when we asked about a month ago.

    Can they accommodate a large group? Maybe about 30 people?

    Overall, yes. Inside seating is a maybe but their outside patio is spacious and seemingly flexible.

    Is there a weekday brunch menu?

    We serve brunch on the weekends, Sat & Sun. Our lunch menu is available during the day from 11am - 3pm!

    Is there still outdoor seating?

    Yes! A nicely (somewhat) covered patio.

    Do you guys have bottomless mimosas?

    In my experience the answer is no. But they sell their mimosas by the glass or carafe.

    Can I make a reservation?

    Absolutely! Just visit our website: foothill.co or give us a call at (626) 449-2337

    Is there happy hour during the week? If so, what time? Thanks..

    Yes, 4:00

    What time do you start serving dinner?

    4pm

    Is this restaurant affiliated with Twohey's?

    Yes. Same owner(s), but they changed the name from Twohey's Tavern because people kept coming in looking for the same type establishment as the original Twoheys. The Foothill is more upscale.

    Are Reservations needed?

    NO, but if you have a large party I'd recommend it.

    What is the parking situation?

    We have some parking in the lot, and there is street parking.

    Trying to avoid heavy crowds during the pandemic, what's a good time to go on a weekend when it's less crowded?

    I went in as a party of four on a Sunday about 9 o; clock. It was not crowded at all at that time...

    Do they offer bottomless mimosa brunch?

    We offer carafes of mimosas at brunch. Thank you.

    Can we order food from the dinner menu during brunch?

    No.

    If we do take out, can we also order cocktails to-go?

    I am not sure about takeout cocktails. We have ordered take out from them several times and everything was very good but we did not order cocktails. You might call them and ask.

    Hi! Do you serve your regular cocktail menu during brunch hours, or do you only offer mimosas and bloody Marys during brunch?

    Hi. Thank you for your question. We serve a full bar all day.

    Are there vegan options?

    Good afternoon! Yes. We have a vegetable medley plate that's amazing and vegan. We can also do veggie tacos that are delicious, and we're happy to make adjustments to any dish to meet your dietary needs. Thank you!

    To say this place is popular would almost be an understatement. How can a breakfast place be this…read morepacked on a weekday at 10:30 AM?! I literally got the last seat in the joint, and it's not a small place, with indoor and outdoor seating. Due to the popularity, finding parking is a bit of a chore. They have a lot but it is obviously filled to capacity with people waiting in the aisles for someone to leave. Service was very friendly and attentive. They're busy, and thankfully they employ a rather large staff of servers and busboys. And the food? It's killer. I got the pistachio latte, which was amazing and almost comically large. I also got the lavender lemonade, which is just freshly made lemonade with a lavender syrup poured in, sitting sadly on the bottom. Just stick with regular lemonade. I ordered the blueberry French toast, a side of bacon, and some hash browns - which I think they only have on weekdays. The waitress was very helpful and nice and pointed out I should get the combo with two eggs for less money. I did, even though I don't eat eggs, and took a couple cooked over hard home for my son. They looked good. The blueberry French toast was terrific. Excellent flavor, great texture, and the right balance so it wasn't too sweet overall with the syrup. The bacon was great, but it's usually hard to screw up bacon unless the stuff has gone bad. The hash browns were the only disappointment. They look good, but they are a little greasy and not very well seasoned. They're basically too bland. Still, this is one of the best breakfasts I've had in the San Gabriel Valley and around Pasadena. I can see why it's so busy, and I will definitely be back. Recommended. Just go!

    I came to Millie's because of all the great reviews--over a thousand of them--so I figured this…read moreplace had to be doing something right. Walking in, it definitely has that California/Pasadena neighborhood café vibe, and I was looking forward to a solid breakfast. I'll start with the positive: Joey, the host, was awesome. Great attitude, welcoming, attentive--exactly how you want to be treated when you walk into a restaurant. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. I ordered bacon medium, and it initially came out crispy. When I mentioned it to the guy bringing out the food, instead of simply saying, "No problem, we'll fix it," I got attitude and a response like, "What is medium?" Second round of bacon was actually good, so obviously it could be done. The biggest disappointment was the chicken fried chicken. The chicken breast was extremely dry. The potatoes were good, the eggs were good, but the main part of the meal just wasn't there. When it was time to pay, Elizabeth brought my check and I politely gave her my feedback. I wasn't asking for anything free. I wasn't trying to get the meal taken off the bill. I paid for my food. I simply explained that the chicken was really dry and asked whether they hear that complaint often. Her response was basically, "Everybody has their own opinion." And that right there killed the experience for me. Of course everybody has an opinion--that's exactly what a review is. But when a paying customer calmly gives you feedback about the food, there's a difference between saying, "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, I'll mention it to the kitchen," and basically dismissing them. For a locally known café with this many reviews, I expected more pride in both the food and the customer service. I'm not comparing Millie's to Denny's or some giant chain. I actually expect more from an independent neighborhood café. Joey: great job. Potatoes and eggs: good. Second bacon: good. Chicken fried chicken: dry and disappointing. Handling of customer feedback: terrible. I came in because of the reputation. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to it.
