Bucatini pasta
Diana Z.

Foothill in the evening is the vibe. There's enough siting options available inside or outside. You may make reservations or walks in's. Parking is a bit tough if you're looking for street parking but you can do vallet parking for $5 dollars on the side by the alleyway. My favorite dish so far has to be the steak frites. The caramelized onions with the garlic frites always hits the spot. For someone who isn't a fan of garlic I wouldn't recommend. Today I tried the Coffee-Braised Short Rib and it was good. The short rib was tender and all the components of this dish really complimented each other. We also got the cesar salad since I really enjoyed that last time. To my surprise this time some of the romaine lettuce was a bit black. I just cut some of the pieces off and still ate the rest.

Good place to grab brunch with friends or family. The atmosphere is nice inside with cozy seating and staff was friendly. I ordered the short rib hash and brioche french toast. Others ordered the buttermilk pancakes, burrito, and chorizo chilaquiles. We all agreed the dishes were solid and good portion size. They have a small lot so parking is limited.

Beef stroganoff
Daniel K.

A very moody restaurant, dimly lit with a more inviting outdoor space. We were able to catch the tail end of happy hour, which ends at 6pm. Some classic cocktails, really nicely done. A small selection of craft beers. The truffle fries were delicious, crisp, flavorful. Wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy artichoke dip. The melted cheese on top ended up just being a hardened slab of cheese that didn't mix with the artichoke, so a little tough to share. I ordered the beef stroganoff, which was recommended by our server. It was solid, the meat was very tender. The pasta came out a bit more al dente than I would have preferred, actually a bit undercooked. Service was very attentive and pleasant. Luis was great! There isn't a designated parking lot, so will have to look for street parking, which wasn't too bad on a random weekday night.

We came here with a reservation for a group of ten, and everything was already set up for us when we arrived. Service was very good, and I loved the ambiance of this restaurant. In terms of the food, it ranged from just okay to pretty good. I had a few people in my party say that some dishes were just alright, but I personally enjoyed the ones I tried. Here are my thoughts: Fried Chicken Sandwich - I had a few bites of this and thought it was good. We got it with onion rings, and they were super crispy and fresh. The chicken sandwich itself was a bit sour, probably from the buffalo sauce, but the chicken was cooked well. Overall, it was pretty good. (4/5) Short Rib Hash - I personally enjoyed this dish a lot. The meat was really tender with a sauce that wasn't overpowering. It's pretty much just beef, potatoes, and eggs. Quite simple, but quite good. (5/5) Overall, it's not a spot I would run back to, but if someone were to ask me to come here, I would be okay with it. Note - They had a 3% kitchen surcharge as well as 20% auto gratuity for big parties so expect that. For some reason tax calculations was after these charges as well so everything is a bit elevated which is a bummer. Parking - Not so great, but we parked on a nearby residential street and walked, which wasn't too bad.

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!

Overall, the food was pretty mid, but there were definitely a few things I enjoyed. The fries were delicious, and the quesadillas tasted good, although they were super oily. The sliders were unfortunately pretty dry. For dessert, the peach cobbler and apple pie didn't really taste like what I expected them to, but the fruit itself was good and I enjoyed it with the ice cream. That being said, I do think it's still worth checking out during happy hour because the prices make it easier to try a few different things. There are just certain items I probably wouldn't order again. The restaurant itself is super cute and has a really nice atmosphere! Parking is limited though -- you might get lucky and find a spot in the back, otherwise you'll probably have to park in the surrounding residential area.the service was good out waitress was sweet

Grilled Scottish salmon
Doug B.

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.

Split caesar salad
Jean C.

So my hubby and I went for breakfast and sat at the bar. He had a Bloody Mary that he liked but thought it was a bit too spicy. I had a Michelada that was just ok. Later he ordered a bottle of an Espresso Stout from Japan that he really liked. And I got a yummy Aperol Spritz.OK. We split a Caesar Salad which was our favorite thing! The dressing is sooooo good. He ate the Short Rib Hash and he really liked it. I thought it was too rich to eat the entire plate. It was more like a stew with huge chunks of short ribs, big pieces of potato all in a rich sauce with an egg on top. I got the standard egg breakfast and it was fine. The atmosphere is really nice. The service was just ok. Bathroom was clean.

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!

Fish and chips
Katelyn K.

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.

Forgot what beer this was
Ken D.

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.

Brunch menu

My brother in law called ahead of time and they let him know they do have a vegan option for me and that they'd work for me for anything else if needed. I'm vegan and I'm allergic to eggs, dairy, and seafood. They have a regular menu and a kids menu. I ordered the plant based burger but had to clarify because they didn't bother fixing the menu of the description that I was copy and pasted from the Wagyu burger on top of it. I told the server my allergies. For the plant based burger, I had to remove the brioche bun and cheese because they don't have any vegan buns or dairy free cheese. The server told me it's an impossible patty. Even though the buns and cheese had to be removed, he wanted told me I had to pay an additional $5 to add spinach on top of an already expensive $23 meal. I had to get the burger lettuce wrapped. He didn't work with me to replace what was taken out and wanted to charge me extra. While we were eating, the server was no where to be seen. We asked the bus boys to see if they could refill our water but we needed to ask more than 2 times. I'm not impressed at all with this spot. My meal came so sad and I was still very hungry afterward. It's something I can easily make at home. There's nothing special. This spot was not vegan friendly at all. Will not be coming back.

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.

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!

On of my Pasadena favorites that never disappoints!…read more My husband and I made an easy reservation at Magnolia House for a relaxing Sunday brunch after a night of Halloween festivities. Having dined here before, I already knew we were in good hands. From the moment we arrived, the hostess recognized that we were celebrating our anniversary and made us feel welcome. We were seated inside the bungalow's main dining area, where we settled in with water and our drink orders. My espresso martini was smooth, flavorful, and a great way to start brunch. For our meals, we ordered Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros, both of which made for a wonderful brunch. With fresh vegetables and thick-cut bacon, we were both very happy with our selections. Our server, Shadow, was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Magnolia House continues to deliver on everything I enjoy about a neighborhood restaurant: charming surroundings, well-prepared food and drinks, and genuinely friendly service.

There's paid street parking on Lake Avenue but I recommend parking for free at the Macy's and Erewhon parking structure across the street.
