I absolutely loved my experience at Osa Rooftop Restaurant! The views and vibes were amazing, but what truly made our day was our server, Tony. He was incredibly sweet, brought such a fun energy that totally lightened up the mood, and made sure our table was always taken care of. We were eating SO good and enjoying every single minute. 10/10 experience, thanks to Tony!. read more

We went for special birthday celebration. The food was good and the ambiance and service was good.

Our party of 6 visited on a Saturday night with reservations to celebrate our friend's birthday. Our visit coincided with game 7 of the World Series so it was a very busy night and we were asked to wait despite having a reservation. Once we were seated we were greeted by our very chipper server who guided us through the menu. She was helpful and checked on us frequently, but once we had our drinks she didn't check on us again. We wanted to place another order and we had to flag other servers to get service because our server was no where to be found. Even when the baseball game was over and the crowds were gone the service was still just as bad. It seems that when the place was busy the service was somewhat better. As a local, I really wanted to like this place, but the service was sorely lacking. read more

Less flirting with women & more attentive service to your customers for Alejandro M. Lemonade came in after our food arrived. Never once asked how the food was & forgot to punch in our seabass that my party decided to leave instead of waiting. Even then, food is mediocre & is just ingredients on one plate, rather than actual flavors coming to create something fresh & new. Nice view though. read more

I absolutely loved it here! My group only came here for drinks so we can't say much about the food itself but the drinks were great! The atmosphere was perfect and service was wonderful! I love that it gives downtown vibes without having to go downtown! Would absolutely recommend! And make a reservation! read more

Service was ok. We arrived a little late and one of the hostess was somewhat robotic stating they have a very strict late policy even though I called and spoke to AI letting them know I was running late. We got lost cause there is no signage anywhere. Anyway, we were seated near the bar. Still a nice view. Food was okay. The burger is great. Food selection is very limited but it's ok. Probably won't go back. Just a lot of hype..lots of nice places in Pasadena I'd rather try instead. read more

Coming here i had a very big open mind and thought amazing , in my description when requesting a reservation they listened to me perfectly! i asked politely for view side seating and they listened amazing! thankyou! But unfortunately! the service wasn't great , this couple arrived 20 minutes after we did , ordered after us and got their food before we did , they did have a bigger or while as me and my couple only had a very small dish also noticing how differently our waiter was talking to us and the people around us was very different tone as if we were waste of his time just because we might look younger doesn't mean we won't tip , trust me WE TIP Unfortunately we didn't have a good time the food tasted as if it was siting for a while Great scenery But not good service. read more

Simply put, the food is good; the ambiance is nice, but the service and accommodations are terrible.

So me and my friend had been out all morning so we were starving by the time we got here and this place rlly hit the spot I think. Ambience was rlly cute we got a bit lost in the parking and went up the wrong staircase but when we finally found it the place did not dissapoint. We got seated right by the rooftop view which was pretty cute not like an amazing view but it was pretty nice. The lemonade was good and refreshing and the truffle fries were amazzzzing so so good. Waiter was really nice too he even gave us a free ice cream at the end so great service overall. Caesar salad looked good but the dressing wasn't really that flavorful I feel like some lemon and maybe more garlic would give it more of a Caesar salad flavor cuz it was just ok. The chicken tacos on the other hand were really good I got no salsa and the tacos were like perfect everything balanced eachother out. I would definitely come back read more

VIBES!!! This was our first time here and we live in Pasadena. It is a beautiful rooftop setting and they even play movies on the wall when the sun starts to go down which was so cool (no sound don't worry). We got drinks , the meatballs, and the burger. All were amazing and we were super full after ! They even gave us a cute surprise birthday ice cream for dessert. The service was great and everything came out timely. Pricing is a little steep but we found it worth it! We will def come back read more

My friend and I just walked in without a reservation, it may have taken a while to be seated but we were able to get spots at the bar pretty quickly. Food was delicious and well portioned! Had the tuna tartare and truffle fries. Drinks were also very tasty. Golden hour was incredible with the sunset and city hall in the background. read more

I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday at Osa Rooftop, but unfortunately the experience started off on a disappointing note. My group arrived after the grace period, which I completely understand is our responsibility. The issue wasn't that our reservation couldn't be honored--it was how the situation was handled. We had difficulty finding parking, which caused the delay, and I tried reaching the restaurant by both phone and message to let them know. Unfortunately, I was only able to reach an AI system, so there was no way to speak with someone directly. When we arrived, I politely explained what had happened to the hostess, but instead of showing any understanding, she was dismissive and hostile. She repeatedly said she was busy and told us our only options were a high-top table or seats at the bar. One of the people in our party was pregnant, yet no effort was made to accommodate her or consider that a bar seat or high chair wasn't appropriate. Thankfully, our server was incredibly kind and immediately found my pregnant friend a more comfortable chair, which we truly appreciated. However, what made the situation even more frustrating was that an empty standard table sat directly in front of us for over an hour. It remained available the entire time, yet no one ever offered to move us or even checked whether we would like to switch. The service from our server was excellent and the food was great, but the lack of empathy and hospitality from the hostess really overshadowed what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. I understand restaurants have policies, but kindness, communication, and basic customer service go a long way. A little compassion and willingness to accommodate would have made all the difference. read more

Catching up with a gf at this new beautiful rooftop restaurant. the gorgeous view of the mountains = amazing. The food and service on the otherhand may be better on another night. First drink, cactus cooler was incredibly light. The ol californica was much better. Size portions were pretty good. The roasted beets was delicious. The tuna tartar was flavorless. Truffle fries needed a little more salt which took a minute to get, along with a reminder. The wagyu/pork meatballs was okay. I'll return for another try, the view is a great one so hopefully everything else will be better next time. read more

The ambiance is the star of OSA's show. OSA offers an amazing view of the mountains and Pasadena City Hall. It has a desert vibe to it with olive trees, terracotta colored walls, and string lights to set a mood. Pasadena needed a space like this to spruce it up. We ordered several things on the menu to try a bit of it all. The wagyu meatballs were good, with tender meat, but I was expecting more of a kick of flavor. The salmon crudo was great, best item on the menu! The shoestring fries were okay, pretty bland. The service was good. If I were to return again it would be for the vibe and ambiance of the place, the food and drinks were average read more

My coworkers and I planned our happy hour night at this rooftop and had an amazing time! This is a newer rooftop in Pasadena and while there are not too many rooftops in the area and I have to say this one was poppin. It was packed for a random Wednesday night. The vibes were on point and the rooftop itself is beautiful. The drinks and food were all amazing. I especially loved the steak with truffle frites and salmon crudo. I would definitely recommend this rooftop to my other coworkers and this is definitely a repeat spot for happy hour. read more

Finally had a chance to try this place and it did not disappoint. Had to book a reservation 2 weeks ahead on weekends. The rooftop restaurant offers a huge outdoor seating area as well as plenty of indoor bar seating. Once you enter you take the elevator to the 6th floor. The menu is short and sweet, and the food is exquisite. Perfect for a date night or any group dinner. Staff are all friendly and professional. read more

this place is so adorable! the views are gorgeous especially when you catch the sunset. i love how it's part outside and part inside too. it's a bit hard to find the elevator entrance in the hotel but not too bad. we had a reservation but they did have us wait 20 mins extra so they could clear some tables. they had a whole seating waiting area too so that tells me they have their parties wait a good amount of times. the service was good too! the waiter recommended the salmon sashimi and it was the best thing we got. the sauce was so unbelievable i kept waiting more and more. it paired with the avacado really well. please get this if you get anything! for my drink, i got a hugo spritz and they made it really well! i got steak frites, medium rare, for my entree. i thought the steak was a bit too rare and chewy. my friend thought the same too. i would definitely come back for the views though! read more

Had a fantastic experience at Osa last night where I celebrated my birthday with girlfriends. Unfortunately, most of my party was running super late but the staff was understanding and accommodating. The views are incredible and the vibes are really nice. Great for photos. What really did it for me was the service. Our server was Ana/Anna- (sorry didn't catch the spelling) but she was one of the best servers I've had in a long time and that really made our experience wonderful. We nicknamed her Sparkles because she had fun festive makeup on and was so positive. She checked on us the perfect amount of times, made sure we were having a good time, and had impeccable timing. When we were sort of overstaying our welcome she so gently moved us to the fire pit to enjoy more drinks. The entire staff there was friendly and attentive truly. The drinks were really good. I will say the bathrooms needed a little more attention- ran out of supplies a couple times over the night and the food was solid overall but didn't wow me- I'm still counting this as a 5 star experience because the service, ambience, drinks, and overall vibes were immaculate. Thanks for such a great time and being patient and understanding. Will be back again and recommend it to others. Some tips- You can make a reservation easily on open table but I called and they were able to find a better spot for me. I got dropped off by the uber the AC hotel lounge area but the entrance is next door and there is a sign on the street. Take the elevators up to the roof. read more

Excellent!!! Great chill vibe on the east side of Old Town! Met my coworkers here at their suggestion and could not be happier. I live it when the servers are attentive enough to keep my glasses filled but not up in my face every 5 minutes! That's what you get at this rooftop! Speaking of rooftop, great location on the 6th floor of the AC hotel with the San Gabriels as the north wall. It was cloudy for us, but with a clear sunset and purple mountains, can't think of a better backdrop! Most importantly, the food. Because we just met for a hangout, we ordered appetizers only. But if the meals are ANYTHING like the apps, they must be amazing! Although some prices may have been a little bit elevated, most of it was priced really well! The charcuterie board, for example, a little pricey for what you get . That said, great choice of cheeses on that board!! More meats would be great! I would be remiss to not mention the great attitude and personality of the "fill-in" manager for the weekend, Channing?, I think. She livened up our evening tight as it was starting to slow down. Gotta love that! Keep that smile coming!! Overall, a great experience that I can't wait to revisit! read more

Went to OSA Rooftop and honestly loved the vibe. The rooftop is beautiful, especially around sunset. It feels like a little escape from everything without having to leave Pasadena. The space is stylish but still comfortable, not overly loud or pretentious. Great spot for a date night or a night out with friends where you actually want to enjoy the atmosphere and talk. The music was good, the crowd was fun, and the energy was just right. Drinks were really well made, not watered down and not overly sweet. Food was solid and paired well with the whole experience. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it's one of those places that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend if you're looking for a rooftop with good vibes and a great view. read more

Loved this new rooftop in Pasadena! The views here are absolutely stunning, especially of the San Gabriel Mountains and Old Town Pasadena. Highly recommend making a reservation around sunset, as the golden hour views cannot be beat. Food was beautifully presented and delicious, as were the cocktails. We got a mix of small lol plates to share, and especially loved the peach burrata salad and salmon crudo. Came with a girlfriend, but would also be a perfect date night spot as well! They even show movies at night, which creates the perfect romantic vibe! read more

beautiful, great atmosphere, great food, great service, very chilling. Amazing city view, my new favorite place in Pasadena !

We got the Caesar salad which was a very different concept but loved every bite. The portion was a bit small but we were there for the drinks and view and not so much for the food so can't complain. The service was good given they had recently opened. That usually makes a difference as the restaurant staff gets the hang of things. The view was pretty good but not at sunset. We were there during the first week when the main menu was being developed so we chose from a light menu. I enjoyed the experience and would come back for drinks. read more

Super cute and trendy new rooftop bar in Pasadena. We had 6pm reservations and arrived a little early but they quickly accommodated us. Our servers were very nice and informed us that when the sun sets it does get a little crazy since everyone wants to watch the sunset. We ordered the beets and beef carpaccio as an appetizer and the steak and burger as our entrees. Everything was cooked well and delicious. The prices are on the higher end but you are paying for the view so it's worth it. Highly recommend checking it out at least once. Take the entrance on Colorado instead of going through the hotel. It's got a cute vibe. read more

Great weekend brunch spot! Gorgeous rooftop views at a wonderful spot in Pasadena. Easy parking, nice neighborhood, good service, shaded seating and wonderful atmosphere. Food highlights including the oysters and steak frites; the table next to us got a phenomenal looking burger that we will absolutely try next time. But what was really unique and fun was their Spritz Tree which has four different takes on an aperol spritz, each with a very different twist. My wife's favorite was the Campfire Spritz and I loved the Beez' N' Spritz. So unique and refreshing with the meal! Would totally come here even just for drinks and vibes! read more

After much anticipation, we finally had a chance to try the osa rooftop. Parking was a breeze. Paid for 2 hours (3 bucks) across the street. Made it up to the 6th floor. Restaurant was nicely set up and captured beautifully view of pasadena. The food is alright, we got meatballs, olive, a burger and salad. Everything tasted well. The service though. We ordered a few things while we waited at the bar. Then we were told there was a table, so we got seated. Our drinks were a glass of wine, and a glass of champagne. Both drinks with zero preparation. Just pour it from the bottle. Took them 30 minutes? The 2 appetizers came before our drinks. We asked the server to check on our drinks and since nobody came to take our order. The server was kind enough to double as the waiter and took our order. When we got our meals, they asked if I wanted another glass of wine. So I said sure. Than after waiting another 30 mins I asked for the check. 15 mins after asking for the check. They come by with the glass of wine. While we were up there, we get an alert that our 2 hour parking was up. Service is really lacking here. The whole time we were flagging random servers as we did not have a waiter. Nobody came to check on us and nobody refilled the water. We asked for ranch that never came and to go boxes are 15 feet away and after asking twice. We ended up just grabbing it ourselves. Its a nice place and maybe we caught them on an off night but very disappointed read more

Osa Rooftop is absolutely breathtaking! The ambience was very quiet and relaxing - a perfect spot to unwind on a week night after work or a weekend. We tried several appetizers and drunks and were impressed by all the dishes we tried. The dessert was also a welcome surprise and loved the mousse! It wasn't too dry and made really well. They also do brunch which we haven't tried yet but would definitely return to! read more

Stunning ambiance with great view of the foothills and sunset. Wish we had more rooftop bars like this in Pasadena. Drinks were good - classic well crafted cocktails, but no standouts. Feel like service needs to get more into the swing of things. After we were seated, we had to wait 10-15 minutes for a server for even water. We had to ask for another waiters attention and we were then told our server was on break and we had caught them in the middle of transition right after we were seated which seemed odd. Brussel sprouts were my fave dish. The truffle fries were very soggy. Thankfully we shared this feedback and they re made another for us which were much crispier and a lot better. Meatballs were good, artichoke dip average. Overall I Would recommend for a drink or two with nice summer views, but dining and service could use improvement. read more

Great service with Tony. Delicous food and wonderful ambiance on the rooftop with the sunset.

I saw this place on TikTok and knew I had to check it out! I decided to celebrate my birthday here with my girls on Sunday, and we absolutely loved the experience. The ambiance was beautiful, super aesthetic, and we were seated pretty quickly even without a reservation. Our waiter, Danny, was amazing....he recommended great drinks from the menu and even suggested one that wasn't listed: the watermelon margarita (which definitely deserves a spot on the menu!). We ordered rounds of the "Mama Bear" at first, but the taste was a little off. Once we mentioned it, Danny didn't hesitate to make adjustments, and the next round came out so much better. We didn't get a chance to try the food, though the menu did seem a bit limited. Overall, it was such a good experience--great vibes, great service, and a perfect birthday outing. I'd give it a solid 9/10 and highly recommend! read more

I would give this place 4.5 Rooftop of the AC Hotel Pasadena. Great views, seevice, and ambiance! Loved the setting and the overall aspect of the restaurant. There is no indoor table seating. Only indoor bar. There is Outdoor patio table seating. Thank you to our waitress Eileen (Aileen?) to providing friendly service during our visit! Can't wait to visit her in the near future :)! Food was good and portion size was great - that's something I always look for. Our entrees were okay but the appetizers/starters made up for it. We ordered the following: Apps: 1-peach burrata salad It was a WARM salad that wasn't really a salad but it was delicious. Highly recommend. Comes with warm charred broccolini, sliced peaches, and warm burrata dollop. Topped with a nice vinaigrette. It was lovely! 2- toastones with guac and bean dip So good with lots of flavor. Toastones are fried plantains smashed into a small "chip". I think the bean dip has meat in it - I overheard something like that at the next table Entree: 1- steak frites - steak and fries can never go wrong. This was good but I felt like it could've been a little more elevated. It was served with I think cilantro oil (I think) and ketchup. If I could change it up, I'd love to see a different style fry and add flaky salt. It was a little bland in flavor but not to the point it couldn't be enjoyed. I still enjoyed its simplicity. If you're into something simple and filling this is still good 2 - wagyu burger - 2 wagyu patties made into a smash burger. This was chosen by my boyfriend who liked its flavor but felt like it could've been better. He said it was missing a crunch element of the burger. I would want to go back and try more menu options as they did carry some seafood options and chicken taco which sounded good. Please go try! read more
