DineLA brought me back to Perle. I shamefully admit the last time I dined here was over a year ago, before the Eaton fire, even though I knew chef/owner Dean Yasharian had lost his Altadena home in the fire. Even with good intentions to return, I ultimately failed to support this small business in a time of need. Hopefully I can improve in the future, because Perle really is one of my favourite Old Town restaurants. Physically, the restaurant is unchanged, and happily is still busy. There are some changes on the a la carte menu, but it is still undeniably French. The DineLA 3-course menu features dishes off the regular menu, including 2 supplemental dishes (duck liver parfait and truffle pasta). I did get the duck liver parfait, and chose the salade de crevettes as my first course. I love any sort of fowl liver dish, be it a mousse, parfait, terrine, foie gras or whatever, and this version was fine, served with toasted brioche, fig jam and duck prosciutto. The salad was also very nice, with plump shrimp and avocado. The "Marie-Rose" dressing was akin to a Thousand Island. My entree choice, steak frites, was an excellent version of this classic dish. The DineLA cut was a nice hangar steak; there's also a NY Strip option on the regular menu. The meat was cooked as I requested, the peppercorn sauce was delish, and the frites were perfect, the thinnest I've seen in recent memory, almost matchstick-like and super crisp. This being America, they came with ketchup. There was a 2-bite salad with a vinaigrette to help with the richness of the dish. I chose the cheese board over the dessert (creme brulee). There were 2 French cheeses, a semi-firm one and a Brie. Raisin walnut bread, grapes, fig jam and candied walnuts came with. A perfect ending to a fine meal. Service was great--thanks to Kinan. Hope to see you again soon, Perle.

Came here for Dine LA for a girl's night out. The menu was reasonably priced. I had the shrimp salad as the appetizer. The portion is a smaller version, nevertheless very delicious and refreshing. I ordered a glass of Cabernet and my girlfriend ordered a happy hour cocktail. Her cocktail also came in a baby cocktail glass. She said the cocktail was not sweet but on the dry side. For entree, we both had the steak. The outside is crispy and well seasoned, but the steak is on the dry side. The best part is the crème brûlée. It's perfectly made and it was very delicious. It was a good wrap for the dinner. The ambience of the restaurant was casual and romantic. There was a party of four at the back of the restaurant, but a little rowdy, maybe too much alcohol and fun. We could hear from three tables away. Service was good. The server was very responsive for ordering and getting the check. Maybe I will come back after Dine LA to see if the food is different, maybe a little less busy.

French Onion soup

Came here the other night for DineLA. Wasn't on my radar for restaurants to try but I'm already up for something new, so off to Pasadena we went. Has a reservation and we're at immediately outside. After a quick glance at the drink menu, we places our orders. The Pomme Pomme was very refreshing, and the Mai Tai was more spirit forward but with balance. The Dubonnet Spritz tastes like just other Spritz drinks, though this one was strawberry based. And the Elderflower was already a decent drink but didn't stand out. For food, we started with the French Onion soup and the shrimp salad. The salad was almost like the individual lettuce wraps with shrimp. The citrus and avocado helped provide a little surging more to each bite. The French Onion soup was a table favorite. Very hearty with a good amount of onions, sourdough and gruyere. Could have had a second birth of that, no questions asked. Would highly recommend the soup. The branzino had a nice crispiness to the skin, and just fish inside, sitting on a bed of vegetables, but it really didn't stand out in any way, unfortunately. The steak frites was also just ok, coming with a peppercorn cognac sauce to dip. Finally, for dessert, you choose from a cheese board or creme brulee. We all went with the brulee. Nice, thick sugar crust on top to crack through with a generous portion of creme. Decent dessert to end the night. Overall, the French Onion soup was probably one of the better French onion soups I've had over the last decade, and I would go back and get another bowl without hesitation. Entrees were good but not really memorable and the fre me e brulee but the spot. Definitely stop by for a bowl of their French Onion soup and get a cocktail while you're at it.

Steak Frites

I wanted try this French restaurant for DineLA so I made reservations for a Saturday night at 5:30pm. Upon entering, it was cozy and not crowded. I felt like the waiter and hostess did what they had to do to get a paycheck. Considering the price of the dishes and the type of restaurant, the service was just ok. My husband and I got the shrimp salad and french onion soup as an appetizer, steak frites as our main dish and truffle pasta (added it for extra $28) , and creme brulee for dessert. The French onion soup was gooey on top with tons of onions in the soup. Yummy! I thought the salad was ok. The steak was cooked medium rare, so the texture was fine but I felt it lacked flavor. There was no wow factor to it. The truffle pasta was good, but my first time trying truffle and to me, I couldn't taste a distinct flavor. The creme brulee was burnt on top, it actually tasted bitter. Overall, I'm glad I tried this restaurant. As we left, the restaurant was packed. Would I come back to eat here again? Probably not. Service was ok, food portions were small, and the taste was not to my liking. I would prefer going to The Little Door.

It's dineLA week and I took advantage of it to try this restaurant. For the set menu course appetizer: I choose the shrimp salad and enjoyed it. For the main course: my server said the seabass on top of the ratatouille was his favorite current dish. I decided to go for the 10oz steak and fries as it was the most ordered dish at this restaurant. The steak was very juicy and tender served with peppercorn sauce. The fries were crisy and well seasoned. For dessert, I went for the creme belle and the custard was smooth and silky. The restaurant setting is nice with inside, outside and bar seating. Staff had good customer service answering all questions I had about the dineLA menu. Parking is available at nearby public parking lots $1 for 2 hours.

I want to make this 4.5 stars! We made a resy for Saturday night and good thing we did because it was packed. I didn't know it was Dine LA but I'm glad we went since we were able to try a ton of dishes for like half the price. We got the duck parfait toast, the steak tartare, the lyones salad, the French onion soup, the truffle pasta, the steak frites, and the Creme brulee. With Dine LA everything came out to around $170 which is a steal for French cuisine. The food itself was good, I wouldn't say it's my fav French place of all time but it's in the better half. I do like that nothing is too salty or too heavy. I really enjoyed the steak tartare that was my fav dish. The others were good but not like omg this is amazing good. Service was great here, I didn't catch the name of the server but he was fantastic. I was freezing because we were sitting by the AC and they brought out a small heater for us, very nice of them. Plates were cleaned quickly and the place was overall a very well oiled machine.

Bowl of French Onion Soup ($20.00). Not bad, but I'm going to say I've had better.

The service was fantastic, and to be quite frank ... *flawless*. The restroom was clean. The food quality was satisfactory. I will be completely honest and state that my experience with French cuisine is largely limited to largely to Taix and a tiny handful of other French restaurants I have patronized long ago (L'Assiette, Quadrupel Brasserie, etc.), so I am admittedly not the most experienced in this cuisine. I should also disclose that it's honestly not amongst my most preferred cuisines. I did find it interesting that the escargot is served here sans shells - something I have not experienced elsewhere. A light meal for 2 here was $171.75 prior to gratuity. The value proposition of a restaurant's fare is clearly subjective and unique to every individual diner, and I will let you be the judge as to the proportionality of the menu pricing based on your own socioeconomic strata and individual experience with French restaurants. I was fortunate enough to obtain a metered curbside parking space less than a block away. For me, to steal ShoPhoCho's frequently used commentary, I'd say Perle is probably in "one and done" territory. FYSA, the restaurant will impose a 4.00% "Living Wage" surcharge on your receipt. 4% is not significant number, but personally, I would consider a more transparent practice to be increasing the menu item pricing up front to accurately reflect the numbers necessary to provide a living wage to restaurant's employees, rather than sneaking it in at the bottom of the receipt.

Perle gave us the loveliest little French escape during Dine LA. We managed to snag a corner spot for a spontaneous night out. The ambience was modern contemporary finish. We went with the Dine LA prix fixe 3 main set courses with optional add ones. (see photo below for reference) The optional duck liver parfait was silky and rich, perfectly balanced with fig preserve and toasted brioche. It felt indulgent but not heavy, although careful with the prosciutto this too rich for me. Overall this was a good start on first impressions. I chose the French onion soup for the first course. Deeply caramelized onions, savory beef broth, plenty of melted Gruyère, and that satisfying crack through the cheesy top. The soup is the classic French onion soup. The branzino with ratatouille completely stole the show. The skin was beautifully crisp, the fish tender and flaky, and the Provençal vegetable stew underneath had just enough warmth and balance. This was a seaonsal dish offered twice in their menu. Elegant, flavorful, and well done. We opted in for one glass of wine to pair with the main branzino sea bass and loved how thoughtfully everything was chosen. The Beaujolais was a standout for me. Light, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. We wrapped things up with the crème brûlée, which came out with a perfectly crackly sugar top and creamy vanilla custard underneath. Simple, classic, and very satisfying. Service felt attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal stayed relaxed and enjoyable. The only con is the seating could have been less in the direct flow of air conditioning. Other than that, if you are looking for a charming French spot in Pasadena, especially during Dine LA, Perle is an easy yes. I would happily come back again.

Perle was ok. I've been here twice but it seemed better the first time I visited. My first visit was a while back though. Overall, the food is good. At this price point however, this is not a good value. FOOD French Onion Soup - Good. Flavor and consistency were right. I'd recommend this. Loup de mer - This was good but rather ordinary. The dish felt like something that could be made at home. SERVICE Good. PARKING Garages (paid), street (limited, paid and free)

French onion soup, angle two

Came here with my date for Dine LA dinner, and overall it was a really solid experience. She ordered the duck parfait toast, French onion soup, sea bass ratatouille, and crème brûlée. I had the French onion soup, sea bass ratatouille, and the cheese board for dessert. The duck parfait toast was pretty good. There's a very thin slice of duck prosciutto on top -- it doesn't look like much, but it's very rich and fatty. Definitely don't eat the prosciutto by itself. Make sure to eat it with the toast and the pâté, otherwise it can be a bit much and might even make you feel nauseous if you overdo it. The French onion soup was delicious and not overly salty, which I appreciated. The bread was thick, about half an inch, topped with melted cheese, and there was a good amount of onions underneath. Comforting without being heavy. The branzino ratatouille was the standout. Super light, really flavorful, and well balanced. The sea bass came perfectly cooked and sat on top of a ladleful of ratatouille. There was a green sauce on the plate -- not sure what it was, but it reminded me of chimichurri and worked really well with everything. Honestly, I could eat three of these. No idea if this is technically "healthy," but if eating like this is what clean eating looks like, I'm in. For dessert, the cheese board came with a piece of brie, three quarter-slices of gruyère, some fig jam, a small cup of grapes, and a few slices of toast that were a little on the harder side. It reminded me of having grapes and cheese with wine -- more of a light snack or casual dessert. The crème brûlée was much bigger than expected. I'm used to the small ramekins, but this one was easily shareable for two, maybe even three people, which was a nice surprise. A couple things worth noting: the pacing was a bit slow, with some downtime between courses. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. Ambiance-wise, it was pretty loud inside, to the point where we had to raise our voices to carry on a conversation. Outdoor seating might be a better option if you're looking to actually talk -- as long as cigarette smoke from nearby restaurants isn't an issue for you. Overall, really good food and a solid spot if you're in the area or checking out Dine LA. Definitely worth a visit, just depends on what kind of vibe you're going for.

Ambience was nice, we ordered the steak frites which were both very delicious. The steaks were delicious and tender, but the fries were just ok. Service was also good too

My family's first time at this restaurant. We were excited to see what the reviews were fussing about. The wait staff was great. We enjoyed the ambiance but the restaurant isn't that big in general so our table of 6 had to use 2 tables. The food was pretty good but it wasn't much food considering the price point. Escargots didn't have any shells. The truffle pasta was very good. The duck was well cooked and the king salmon had a great sear on its skin. The bread was pretty good but at 8 dollars for a small cut up loaf, it was way over priced. I have it 1 less stars because, despite being quite empty still by the time our entire party arrived, the front desk person would not entertain seating us until it was about 1 minute left until our reservation. We were 15 minutes early. Wanted to start early and end a little early. If the restaurant was super busy, id understand the wait. But hardly anyone was there and our table was already setup for us just waiting. Also, the food came out slow after the appetizers. I'm thinking they wanted to bring everything out at the same time but we sat atleast 20 to 30 minutes after our appetizers before our main dishes came out. So if you are in a hurry to eat because you are hungry, order extra appetizers as the main dish takes a while.

First time visiting, we came for DineLA ($65/person dinner) we had a wonderful experience! Fantastic service, beautiful setting, delicious food. They were able to accommodate gluten-free & dairy-free. Make sure to make reservations in advance, there's indoor, outdoor & bar seating. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection! We really liked the salade de crevettes (shrimp, lettuce, avocado). It was refreshing, came with a thousand island dressing with a little kick but not too spicy. My husband loved his seabass, he said it was one of the best seabass he's ever had. It was flavorful with pesto & tomato sauce & the fish was tender. My steak was delicious, the peppercorn sauce was really good & they cooked it perfectly, medium rare. I enjoyed the creme brûlée & my husband got the sorbet & almond cake for his birthday. Everything was super delicious! We will definitely return to try more items on the menu!

Cheers!

See all

Honestly, I could've skipped the hummus, but the bread and butter was excellent perfectly toasted, soft butter, with a side of sea salt. For entrées, we ordered the vodka pasta and the spicy pasta. The vodka pasta is a must-order super flavorful and definitely the standout. The spicy pasta had a slight Cajun kick, which was good, but I personally preferred the vodka. For drinks, the pineapple margarita was really good. We ended with dessert: the Devil's Advocate flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and a strawberry shortcake both were delicious and a great way to finish the meal. Overall, it was a great experience. The entire staff was extremely friendly even the busser and food runner checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.

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.

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 .

I think what is most impressive about this place is the size of the kitchen. Everyone inside is pretty much eating at chefs table and really only separated by a counter that you can't sit at. Goes to show, you don't need a big kitchen to deliver old flavors like they did, well done! Will definitely be going back to try other dishes.
