We had Easter brunch here and it was fabulous! As appetizer for the table we shared French fingers sticks, a bacon flight, and nook and cranny marble potatoes...YUM! Then our entrees included the fried chicken, crab cakes, fish sandwich, seared tuna Niçoise salad...all delicious. And the drinks and service, both superb! What a special treat for brunch in Old Town Pasadena! read more

My wife and I have been to Pez twice now over the past few months, and have had two largely positive experiences with a few caveats. Pros: - The cocktails are delicious. Highly recommend the lady bug and Thai dye. - Scallops with the truffle and mushroom risotto is our favorite dish on the menu. Scallops are succulent and the risotto is packed with flavor. - Homemade focaccia is a perfect appetizer. - Ambiance: A fun cali-coastal vibe. Inconsistencies: - Service: Servers have always been polite, but the first time we came, our meal took two and a half hours (one app, two entrees, dessert). At one point the waitress brought by the dessert menu and went to talk with another server by the bar for 15-20 minutes before coming back to take our order. That particular night was our anniversary, and we wanted to celebrate, but were ready to just head home at that point. - The mussels appetizer, while delicious, has had two wildly different serving sizes. The first time we went to the restaurant, we had a heaping bowl of mussels (which between the focaccia and the mussels was almost enough to split as is), while the second time only had around two dozen. read more

Came here for the first time during DineLA and was really impressed with all the dishes we tried - even the bread and butter we got in the beginning was good! My favorite thing that I had was the charred octopus papaya salad. I literally think about it all the time and have recommended Pez to multiple people who have also enjoyed their experience! I haven't tried their brunch yet, but my cousin has and they said it was good also. If you're looking for good and well cooked seafood, I definitely recommend giving Pez a try! read more

After living in Pasadena for about a year, my boyfriend and I have walked past Pez several times telling ourselves we'd make our way in for a date night. The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing and romantic. Although you don't have to dress to the nines, it makes it all the more fun! We arrived a little early to our reservation for drinks and appetizers but were immediately seated at a table for 2 with cozy couches and were accommodated with a mini coat/bag rack. Our incredible server, Daniel M., provided an excellent recommendation on how to divvy up the 1/2 oysters. We opted for 3 small and 3 medium; I loved the garlic and chili oil combo. A special for the November 2024 menu is the seared ahi, which the chef brought out to us himself! He delighted us with background on the restaurant as well as their rotating menu items. The ahi itself was seasoned to perfection and the green beans coated with avocado crème complimented it wonderfully. We will definitely be back to see what else will be brought to the menu! I would advise you do the same. ;) read more

Fancy food. Excellent service, beautiful interior decor. In an area of Pasadena ripe with amazing food options, Pez Coastal Kitchen is a must try. All of the food options were wonderfully selected although since my family and I went for Easter the menu was very limited. When we were leaving we saw the regular menu and were wishing we could have had a chance to order some items on that menu. Also when we were searching on Yelp for food recommendations, it being Easter, we had a hard time finding what was available. read more

A place that was on my books! Unfortunately wasn't what I expected it, we order from the brunch menu, but looking forward to try their regular menu. I guess the turn off point was the lack of salt on most of the dishes, and I don't think I'm a salty person, but for me to think about asking for salt it has really need salt. Service was just decent, unfortunately the server wasn't on top of his game, he forgot 2 or 3 things Ambience is perfect for families, the restaurant is beautiful. read more

I must admit that I have been avoiding this restaurant because the food just looked too complicated. Every photo seems to show way too many ingredients on a plate. I finally made my way in. First off, the interior is gorgeous. I feel like I'm in the south of France. They definitely did a fabulous job of capturing a coastal vibe in this restaurant. We sat at the bar and I enjoyed a refreshing rosé paired wonderfully with their Caesar salad . We also tried their meatballs. Very well, balanced with the pickle vegetables and the side of freshly cooked bread to eat up all of the whipped feta. The one thing we didn't try, but will definitely try when we go back is the whole fried fish. We saw two of these come out and they look spectacular. Looking forward to that the next time we try Pez. read more

Third time visiting Pez on a Wednesday evening, quieter than I remembered. Ended up ordering their Caesar salad (highly recommend) grilled octopus (cooked well), special pesto stuffed pasta (pass), pork chop schnitzel (a must every time), whole branzino (fantastic presentation), and their Steak (meh). Service was on point, the team was great about switching out our plates and refreshing our utensils and water. We made a minor comment about one of the dishes and their team went way above and beyond - a fine gesture that wow my parents and their friend. If you enjoy catching a sports game, fantastic bar for drinks and dinner! read more

The best seafood restaurant very delicious. Very good service. Will come back definitely

The interiors of Pez brilliantly align with the restaurant's offerings. The blue and green tile on one wall reminds one of seafoam and the literal fans on the ceiling suggest a beachy, tropical vibe. The whole place looked so cool, I couldn't stop taking photos for my Insta. We practically ordered the entire happy hour menu - pork sliders, trout rillette, nori crisps with tuna (please order these - they are unforgettable bites), lamb and pistachio meatballs with pita (so so so good!), the oysters and bubbles and the perfect pair (2 huge shrimp, 2 small oysters and 2 small ceviches). For 3 people it was the perfect amount of food. And the bill was reasonable, especially given the quality of the seafood - super fresh. After every bite, we kept on oohing and ahhing and asking each other "can you believe how good that was?" The food was creative and unbelievable. As for the service during the meal, the waitstaff was efficient and friendly. No complaints there. Although I will say that due to us coming in at happy hour, we were seated in the bar section where they only have high chairs with low backs. I asked the hostess if we could have a regular table as my husband has a bad back due to having been in competitive football in his youth. Before I could even complete my question, she irritatedly said "this is the only place where we seat people for happy hour." I realized she got fatigued from probably being asked the same question over and over daily and as much as I feel bad for her, perhaps she could adjust her mindset and acknowledge that people just want to be comfortable and need to ask for chairs with better back support. I still gave 5 stars because the service, food and cleanliness (yes, the bathrooms are pristine! We checked) are unparalleled. Her obvious irritation with us was the only hiccup we experienced. Minor. All in all, Pez Coastal is wonderful and we intend to return as often as our schedule and wallets will allow. We've been there for drinks and happy hour but next time we'll try lunch and dinner. So excited that this gem of a restaurant is in Pasadena! read more

We had a perfect experience at Pez Coastal Kitchen yesterday celebrating Valentine's Day. It was our first time dining at this restaurant. Knowing most popular places in Pasadena would be packed on a Saturday night, we didn't know what to expect - and our experience had pleasantly surprised us and exceeded our expectations. The food was AMAZING, service impeccable, and the ambiance was both classy and relaxing. *Our server Madison was one of the most attentive and loveliest person I've encountered (I also work in hospitality industry; thus it felt extra special). To top everything, the price was very reasonable. We'd definitely return :-) read more

Love the good and the ambience!! Very nice place. The only thing that I would have loved was that my waitress should have told us that they didnt have a dessert that we ordered instead of bringing the one they wanted. They remove it from the bill but after we told them too. If they wanted to send something from their end they shouldn't charge from the beginning. read more

My friend and I went out for a cocktails and yap night. She lives in the area and Pez has been on her list. ITS BEAUTIFUL in here. Very trendy. We had these swivel couches as seats which were so comfy. The service here is outstanding. I wish I got our waiters name. He was truly so helpful and funny. Everything was so delicious. We went the cocktail route vs wine. I got the salt shaker and lime, I want to batch this up and bring it home to New Jersey with me. We started off with the bread service. Focaccia - pre-sliced as the woman at the table next to us so kindly pointed out - with herbed butter. Beet salad with burrata. I love burrata everything but the beers had peanuts on top which added a nice texture to the salad. We also ordered the jumbo scallops with a mushroom truffle risotto. The scallops were cooked perfectly ! With a side of potato gratin I would come back solely for the potatoes. And of course every yap session needs a dessert it was this peanut butter chocolate cake with ice cream. SO GOOD. You usually need a rezzy to get in, we lucked out by snagging one day of. If it's on your list check it off ASAP! read more

My husband and I came in for DineLA lunch, easy to make a reservation online through opentable. Since it's not easy to find a babysitter on a Friday night, we had a leisurely lunch in the beautiful beachy Pez Coastal Kitchen. Cannot believe this used to be Slaters 50/50! With the mention of the burger, J decided he didn't need to try the prefixe meal and got a kobe burger instead. Then he said... but we should get oysters too, it's a seafood spot! haha we started with a half dozen and tried two varieties of oysters and they were both super fresh and light. Loved the apple chive mignonette and house made cocktail sauce. I had the prefixe lunch option and I will definitely go again for the seafood chowder. Large portion, lots of fresh shrimp, clams, and mussels potato chunks, and the creamy soup was not too thick. I was glad I had the lemon from the oyster tray though, I love a bit of citrus zing. The grilled slices of garlicky bread were nice, but a bit burnt. For our mains, the beer battered fish sandwich was HUGE and it's not cod! I like that it had both light and dark meat and was tender. I kind of just wish it was a fish plate lunch haha I actually didn't even need the brioche bun. The burger also came on a brioche and was a bit of a mess with all the special sauce. Hard to eat. We liked the french fries (not included) with a chile lime seasoning. The dessert was an olive oil cake, not my favorite due to the texture. The chef owner came and chatted with us, Pasadena restaurants are having a tough time with the impacts from the fires. It was nice to be able to enjoy a nice meal and support local businesses. read more

Great food, drinks, service and ambiance! Parking lot across from the street which is so convenient.

It's been quite some time since I last posted a review on Yelp, but my most recent experience at Pez has brought me out of retirement, albeit for a brief moment. We've been to this restaurant at least 4 times and they always seem to be 1+ bartenders short of what there should be to have a smooth service. Most of the times they've seemed to hobble along without severe impact, but tonight (Friday night), they appeared to be in rare form. Basically one female bartender making drinks for the entire restaurant (who didn't even look up from what she was doing or acknowledge anyone at the bar outside of the gentleman customer who called her out by name) and one male bartender, seemingly new/constantly needing to pause to do something else (trying to remember what was in a given drink, looking at the food menu to put in someone's order, talking to the other bartender). After 15 mins waiting for our drinks at the bar (where we always sit), we asked to put in an order for some food. The new (?) bartender guy came over with the handheld ordering tablet thing and we had to repeat our order at least 3 times to him... only to have him come back 5 mins later and tell us they were out of one of the items we ordered. No big, we were hungry. We ordered the Caesar salad, ceviche, meatballs, and crab cakes. Everything was just okay, except for the meatballs which were dry AF and didn't seem to fit with the "coastal kitchen" theme (but they also have baby back ribs on the menu, so hey, what the f* do I know lol). Also, the crab cakes were fried nicely but didn't come with a sauce of any sort; instead, they came with an artichoke/snap pea/crab salad type concoction that was super confusing. Portions were larger than we expected, so that was a nice surprise, but we never had a single table touch from our bartender after putting in our orders (runners brought our food out to us, brought us split plates, cleared our plates - mind you they only did this to help us make room for all the plates we ordered, but they definitely left several tables dirty/didn't clear previous guests' plates long after the guests had gone). Our meal was so large we actually wanted to order additional drinks, but were literally never given the opportunity to do so, so we ended up just asking for the check. All in all, we likely will never come back.. unless I'm feeling the itch to write another crappy review. P.S. As I was reading this review back to my husband, he informed me that he saw another couple who came to the bar after us just get upset and walk out after they sat down and no one bothered to take their drink order. SMDH. read more

This is more of a high end experience here in Old Town Pasadena. Came in on a Saturday at 11 am and it was pretty empty. The time I was here there was seats still so think walk in is fine. Some of the food was truely out of this world outstanding while some were good but nothing too special. Here are my thoughts. Coffees - I got the House Special and the coffee was delicious. They come with free refills as well (they gave me a separate container that I could refill myself). For $5 I thought this was worth especially with the refills. (5/5) Vanilla bean Madeleine - These were so good. Buttery and soft, sharable with the whole table. We had 9 people and all got one. Would recommend trying if you enjoy buttery things. (5/5) Bananas-Walnut French Toast Fingers - Another winner dish to share with the table. Flavors are on point and tasted like an elevated French toast. FIREEE (5/5) Crispy Calamari Steak Schnitzel - Personally it was good but I didn't feel this was too worth it. Its pretty much a small patty and side salad. It's not bad by any means but I think there were better items on the menu. Its a huge calamari steak so you may enjoy it if you like squid. (3.5/5) Machacca Con Huevos - I thought this dish was really good. Flavors were good and the eggs were runny. Meat was tender overall a win. (4.5/5) Pez Fries - Thin fries with their special sauce that tasted a bit sour and spicy, kind of like lemon hot Cheetos. It was good and the table enjoyed it. (4.5/5) Overall this place is a spot that I would come for occasions. The menu is a bit confusing with all the fancy words that I did not understand and overall the food is good, Pricey but... good. You can expect around $30-$50 per person depending on what you order for lunch, probably more for dinner. Parking - Nearby cheap lot at the Marriot Parking Structure, it's like $1 for the first hour. read more

The food is very creative and tasty, but either the portions could be a little bigger or the price reduced. The ambiance, decor, and atmosphere was very nice. It's very relaxing. The server was nice, but the timing was off with us. When he stopped by, I wasn't ready yet. Then when I was ready, he wasn't around. The hostess passed by and saw that I was ready and took my order. Then when I was almost done, the server stopped by and asked me how I was doing. After that when I was ready for the check, he was nowhere to be found again. The person bussing the table told him that I was ready for the check and he came and dropped it off. My check was $55 for the cocktail, Caesar salad, and 4 strips of bacon. Although the food was great, I won't be returning. read more

While still fresh in my mind as I came here yesterday, I would say more like a 4.5 but overall I was pretty impressed with all the dishes. I probably only had one complain and that would probably be the server that we had but she said she was new so I try to be a little patient about since I was a waiter before. Just want to mention that we brought our own wine and she asked if we want to decant it first and we said yes and then she just pours us the wine ? lol Anyway, we ordered it family style and usually I can pinpoint one dish and say oh yea this was dish wasn't that good. That was not the case for Pez. We ordered: Octopus, yam, brussel sprouts, Ceasar salad, Scallop and ahi tuna "ravioli", seabass, ribs, Cioppino, seared scallops and lamb meatballs. I don't personally love lamb but I thought the combination worked. The papaya salad that came with the octopus was a nice unique twist on it, I did wish the papaya salad while good could use a little more kick but it was delicious. Brussel sprouts...as a big brussel sprouts person, everything about this dish was just so good. The crisp and caramel was just excellent. Scallop and ahi tuna, not a must ordered dish but it was alright and pretty refreshing. I like the crispy onion that went with it, it's like a small deconstructed poke. Their Caesar salad was absolutely wonderful. Everything about that salad was just idk, it was damn great. They had a Nori Crisp along with it and that thing was delicious. Everything you want in a Caesar salad and more...I would say. Idk...it seems like an exaggeration but the Caesar salad was my favorite dish of the night. Seared Scallop were good but I thought the corn sauce+corn made it a little too sweet(just a small ticky tack stuff). The ribs were good, and it was actually a good amount. I would probably try something else next time but it was good. Seabass was really good, I thought the (odd looking) crispy polenta was pretty good combination with the sauce + the egg plant and the fish together. The yam were actually pretty good too(I wouldn't order it again just cause if I'm picking only one, it would be those brussel sprouts all day). Cocktails were pretty good too. Out of the few that I tried, I liked Everythings Gonna Be Pine the most. Jungle Fish would be my 2nd. I personally didn't care for the paloma that I ordered that much...but overall I thought the drinks were pretty good. Oh I sipped a little of the POG Juice and that was no good lol. It tasted super watered down...so there we go...I guess I did find something that I didn't like there haha. There were no bad dishes and I do look forward to my next visit here even though I don't know when that would be. read more

A hidden gem in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Great service, beachy vibe atmosphere, and really stylish plate settings and decor. It's a perfect spot for a night out with friends or a cute date spot. Walking in on a Friday night at prime dinner time, I was surprised there was plenty of seating. Service was attentive, kind and friendly. Now on to the food .... We ordered a half dozen oysters, beet salad, ribs and sea bass. Oysters were really fresh, flavorful and plump. The sauces paired really well with them. Also, the dry ice effect added to the presentation. The beet salad was So.Darn.Good.The beets were really soft and earthy. They were soft and juicy. Paired well with hazelnuts and fresh burrata. The baby back ribs were tender - fall off the bone, sweet, sticky, and slightly spicy. The peppercorns are the numbing spice that added good heat. Very juicy and flavorful. The sea bass was soft with a crispy flaky crust and sat on a soup. I didn't care much for the soup. It wasn't bad, just not really what I was expecting. I really enjoyed my dining experience here and can't wait to go back and try more dishes! read more

For a seafood restaurant the food was not good. I think I could get better tasting seafood at Cheesecake Factory. The minute we left 3 of us started having stomach pains. Service was overall good but I just can believe how bad the food was for the price. Not sure why this place has such high ratings. The catch of the day meal was so strange why is it in a bed of soupy beans and mushrooms that had nothing to the fish. The crab cakes were not good. Seriously.....save your money. read more

What a beautiful place. The food is truly ambrosial. Pleasant service by Ariana, Drea, and our server Daniel. The Pez Ceasars Salad with the fried seaweed was fresh, crisp, and tasty. The Chilled Beets Hazelnut Burrata was very good, the Black Mussels a la Bouillabaisse was heavenly delicious. The whole fried New Zealand Snapper with the caper sause was scrumptious. Warm chocolate peanut butter cake with honeycomb homemade ice cream was mouthwatering. Already made reservations for my next visit. Pez Coastal Kitchen is a must try restaurant. read more

Lovely time at Pez Coastal Kitchen on a rare date away with my husband in Spring of 2024. We came here on a Saturday evening before the dinner rush, and had reservations and were seated immediately. He ordered the sea bass, and I had the salmon, and both were prepared SO wonderfully: juicy, season-y and perfectly baked. Really, some of the best fish I've had in years, and I can say I've really sampled a pretty wide range of fish living in Southern California. We each got specialty cocktails; I had a Paloma and he had something else - we didn't feel that these packed a particular punch, but the delectable-ness of the dinner made up for this. Service was excellent and quick. Ambiance is very pretty, very "new-ish", and may benefit from a little element of warmth, although it's hard to put my finger on exactly what. Lots of seafoam greens and coastal decor, of course, and a decent amount of natural lighting. Will happily return! read more

We just did small and share plates but it was enough food and everything was delicious and original

I really want to give this restaurant in Pasadena 4 stars but it lacked consistent service... we ordered a whole fish that was fried and made to order. The sauce makes this 4 stars. It was tasty with capers in it! We also got mussels, and a burrata with beets appetizer. Definitely not lacking in terms of size... we ordered a few cocktails which was yummy.. however, my husband had to wait a little while before the waiter came back to ask if he wanted another... I had high expectations as I frequent the other location in DTLA.. perhaps it was the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving? Either way... shouldn't the service be consistent? They definitely revamped the ambience to be upscale and different than slater 50/50's. The decor was very nice! read more

Finally got an opportunity to try this place and it was actually pretty good. The overall ambiance of the venue really did give you a coastal vibe as if you were in Cabo or Tulum. Started the night with some cocktails which were refreshing and very tasty. We ordered the focaccia bread to start which was really good, definitely recommend getting one of those. For our dinner we ordered the ceviche and Spaghetti Chittarra. The ceviche was fresh and juicy, very flavorful. The spaghetti had a nice sauce and was plentiful of seafood, the noodles were a bit undercooked but otherwise good. The service is why I couldn't give this place a 5 star review, not because they were rude but just a bit inattentive. Didn't really check on us and had to flag down someone different each time because there was no continuity of service with anyone in particular. read more

Pez Coastal Kitchen is a fantastic date night place located in Pasadena, CA. Every detail added to the warm and comfortable atmosphere. Tonight, we were celebrating a birthday, and had decided to explore the Pez Bites Menu which is available Tuesday - Friday from 4:30 - 6:30 only, so we arrived early. Miranda greeted us from behind the bar with a smile, and was quick to get us set up with our drinks. We introduced ourselves by name and asked her about the Pez Bites Menu for recommendations. Miranda was happy to suggest the Kingfish Tostada and the Steelhead Rillette, both were very nice. The Steelhead Rillette was outstanding. The trout was creamy and rich, perfectly seasoned and the proportion with the rice cake was spot on. Pickled shallots gave the flavor a nice acidic touch, balancing out the richness of the fish, and the roe added a delightful snap as well. Miranda introduced us to Robert as he also hopped behind the bar. She took the time to introduce us by our names, a very nice touch! Way to go Miranda!!! Robert was fun, friendly and attentive. He provided outstanding service and conversation. The next Pez Bites we chose were the Perfect Pair, Spicy Tuna, and the Two Lamb Pistachio Meatballs. This was a trifecta of great choices! From the Perfect Pair, the ahi tuna gazpachos was a home run, creamy, flavorful, and served in a "shot glass" rimmed with just the right spices to balance the creaminess. The surprise within the three choices was the Two Lamb + Meatballs. Absolute perfection, served warm, with grilled flatbread and whipped feta cheese, this combination was my favorite, and had a very Mediterranean vibe. At this point, the restaurant was getting busier and a third bartended, Marco, joined the team. We had eaten at Pez once before, about 2 or 3 months prior, and Marco was our bartender. When he arrived, he said "You have been here before", and looked at me saying "you had the Sea Bass". Not only was he correct, but this really made us feel special. What a great way to be treated. We enjoyed chatting with Marco (if you meet him, ask him his last name) and as he did last time, his service was fantastic. OK, this review is getting too long. If you read this far, thanks. I would absolutely recommend that you give Pez Coastal Kitchen a try if you are looking for a fresh and innovative place. On our last visit, also our first visit, I chose the Pacifico Sea Bass. Eating this dish was one of those foodie moments I will never forget! I asked if the Chef was available to thank personally (I had never done that before) and sure enough, Chef Bret Thompson came out and we had a lovely conversation about his inspiration for that dish. He is a passionate guy who loves his Mom. read more

The food here is good! It has been open for 6 weeks and brunch for 3 weeks. I am happy I was able to try brunch today, which was a good experience. They have brunch until 4:00 pm, and after starts dinner on the weekend. I orders the Dry-aged Kingfish ceviche and Beer battered sea bass sandwich. For my drink I ordered the Fiji rum punch I think it's called and the "happy wife happy life." The food was delicious and made to perfection for sure the seabass was battered and the potato bun melted in my mouth! I highly recommend to get the that off the menu and the kingfish ceviche as a starter!! Won't regret it!! The drinks are worth it too! The service was highly exceptional! We had Michelle as our waiter and she was very attentive with a good personality and very welcoming! All the servers who helped out were the same and made sure we got everything we wanted! The owner Brett was down to earth with good management. Very nice and easy going man with a good demeanor! So the ambiance is the bomb! Very relaxing and cool vibe to grab a drink and very good food and atmosphere! This is a good spot to hang out for any occasion. Overall, I will be back no doubt! I want to try the dinner menu which they have so much options to choose from. I am sure if the brunch is superb, the dinner will be. Further, they have a sister restaurant I will love to try as well. It's in old town Pasadena, so the parking is very scarce at times but its street and parking structures. -Marshay D. read more

I have been wanting to try this new restaurant since it opened 6 weeks ago. After church, today, I decided to go here and try their brunch. The food was delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The service from our waiter Michelle.was great. She was very attentive and detailed. Great atmosphere. Very relaxing with beautiful decor. It felt like you were on vacation in Cabo somewhere. We ordered the appetizer Dry-Aged KingFish ceviche and not I tell you it was amazing .then ordered the brunch Bfast Sandie sandwich, hot tea, and a Baileys coffee drink. My mom and sister had the beer-battered sea bass sandwich and they loved it. Everything was tasty and made with great quality ingredients. The owner, Bret Thompson was nice and went around to tables introducing himself and making sure everything was in order. I loved that he did that. He has another restaurant in downtown L.A. called PEZ Cantina I have to try out. I will be coming back soon to try the dinner menu. Note: They have a big assortment of cute trendy named alcohol drinks. Parking on the street or in various parking lots surrounding the restaurant. read more

Lovely restaurant! Nice and relaxed, yet elegant ambiance. We were celebrating my mentor's 85th birthday. Everything ordered was delicious -- crusted salmon with asparagus, a seafood chowder boule, etc., but it was the steelhead trout rillette, with salmon roe with forbidden rice cake, that did it. It was beyond melting in your mouth, heaven on your tongue good. In fact, I think you'll likely find yourself just wanting to savor each and every tiny morsel (and maybe not even share ;-) -- I could've stopped eating, right there. read more
