Food Service and Ambiance! All are amazing. I take my family there for special occasions. Each time is memorable.

My partner had been to this restaurant many times. I had not been there but looked forward to it, always liking to try new restaurants as we eat out a lot. We had a lovely time with good friends, but I'm not interested in returning to this restaurant. The service was slow, the server inattentive, the food expensive, and my rack of lamb, ordered medium rare, was overcooked and tough. Had the server returned to check on our entrees, I probably would have sent it back. read more

We came in today to celebrate our anniversary and chose Taylor's randomly. For a Saturday night there was no wait. My husband is disabled and not able to sit in a booth comfortably so a table it must be. The tables were two steps up! If your in a wheelchair and can't do steps at all you have to eat outside. My husband thankfully can do a couple steps with my help. When we ordered I wanted a cherry coke. She said we only have bottled coke but can add grenadine. I was confused as I always get fountain drinks with refills at fine establishments. NOT THIS PLACE. So I got a sprite. It was a tiny plastic bottle of sprite for almost $5! They brought bread and we were charged! I didn't even ask for it, so I assumed it was complimentary but NOPE! All their food is A LA CART. So NO SIDES included. Not ONE. I got a salad like a wedge type salad and almost laughed at the size. The steaks were good. Sides were OK. Servers were great. It's just ridiculous to nickel and dime your customers. I WILL NEVER be back again. read more

2/1/26 My coworkers & I met up for dinner tonight to celebrate one of near & dear work mate, who has recently retired. This steakhouse serves up delicious & quality food, semi, upscale ambiance & attentive service. Our reservation was for 5:30 & we were promptly seated at a comfortable large booth. Drinks were ordered & warm table bread was brought out with butter. I read mixed reviews for the onion soup but I decided to keep an open mind about it because honestly, I don't think I've ever had onion soup, ever. My colleagues ordered scallops for appetizers which I skipped. I'm not big on steak so ordered fish & chips. Everyone ordered some type of steak. Our server was friendly & accommodating. My onion soup arrived & it was absolutely delicious. I would've preferred it bubbling hot but it was fine--Perfectly savory & a tiny bit sweet from the onions. Our dishes were brought in almost instantaneously. Everyone clamored at how everything tasted delicious & savory good. I tasted the creamed spinach but it was way too rich for my taste. For dessert, we ordered 4 different ones to try: bread pudding, cheesecake, crème brûlée & key lime pie. You can really discern the bourbon taste on the sauce for the bread pudding. My favorite was the crème brûlée (crunchy sugar topping, smooth & creamy crème). The cheesecake was pretty good with blueberries. The key lime pie tasted a bit cloyingly sweet with a bit of tang. Overall, a good time was experienced at this restaurant with tasteful decor, mindful service & of course, enjoyable fare. read more

Sat on the heated patio with a fire place on a cool night - worked out great! Reservations are not taken but waited less than 30 min. Not a lot of standing room but a few places to sit. Out server "Bobby" was excellent ! And the food never disappoints. Parking is challenging but they do offer Valet. Only open for dinner and they make the most wonderful cocktails ! read more

Ive had several bad experiences at Taylors and simply quit going. Some of the issues revolved around arrogant unhelpful staff. I refuse to give my business to people indifferent to me. read more

It went exceptionally well. We were on that side of town and my Lady said how about we drop in at Taylor's in La Canada Flintridge. I thought yes it was on the way home and we always felt so comfortable there. Also the drinks are a generous pour and we like passing by the tidy bar and quiet patrons chatting away the evening. Now I do love bars. The freindly place that allows one to quench their thirst And allows one to also feel a warm feeling of enjoying the ambience in a cozy area of the bar with people who live in the town as well as people coming from their own town to enjoy this bar it's ambience and the quiet hum of people chatting softly awaiting the real reason they have arrived at this wonderful restaurant , the food. But I must first talk of the two month renovation of the main dinning room. The booths against the walls are still the same warm, red as red can be soft classy leather. Servers are the same crew and some new faces like Bobby who took well care of us all evening. I have seen him before and he once again handled himself well with his freindly service. Before I sat down I looked at the wall behind us with several painted scenes of the restaurant and its fabulous areas surrounding La Canada. The woman has painted the scene in muted colors of excellence in just two months. The wall on the other side maintained its place in Taylor's history with wonderful scenes of the American West. The beautiful glass tapestry overhead in the middle of the room also helped to tie the old and the new overall look as showcasing a comfy historical restaurant and bar, so the main thing about Taylor's is their consistency. Always serving excellent food in such a comfortable restaurant and bar. I will display the vast array of photos as I try to do each time I write a review . I do know that the overall pleasure of visiting this place is astounding and consistent. read more

I'm so happy certain yelp event free loaders and crashers never come here cause 1) taylors does not need yelp marketing evenrs so no free dinners for posers and 2) the above (you know who you are stalker) can't afford it. 10/10 every aspect of this restaurant and the staff is always consistently amazing. By the way, I am so obsessed with the patio lately. The amazing breeze and fantastic service keeps bringing me back every week! read more

Gave Taylor's steakhouse a try, since it's been a staple in the area for quite a while. It was an overall good meal, but probably not somewhere that I would come to that often. The good: - I liked the old school Steakhouse atmosphere. It's what one would expect from a traditional steakhouse. - The food was really good. Steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We both had the filet with crab that was the Saturday night special, and enjoyed it. - Prices are very reasonable for a steakhouse. Specials were a good value, and the wine list had some reasonable prices. Improvement areas: - Service was fine, but it was nothing special. Our server was not very personable. For some reason, I felt as though she was looking at us like we were much younger than we are. I can't really put my finger on it though. It was almost like we were a nuisance that we had to be served. A really weird thing happened at the end of the meal. The pen must have dropped on the floor when the bill arrived. When she came to pick the bill up, she asked us if we had the pen. I looked around, and didn't see it, but i felt like she wanted me to get under the table to search. Why even ask the customer that? - I would think there would be complementary bread. We were asked if we wanted bread for the table, but then they charge $3 for it. Not expensive at all, but I also didn't enjoy the sour dough bread very much. For $3, why not just make it free and increase menu prices by $.50? Overall, it was a 4 star meal that could have some improvement opportunities. Maybe i'll go back to try a burger and beer at the bar? read more

5/5 because the steak is soft, fresh, and thick, and the sauce just made it perfect! But to be honest, my husband and I have learned that we would always want our steak with crust and so we will need to stick with our usual! But I am glad that we tried it! I had the Prime Rib Dinner Cut with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, dinner salad, and a sundae for dessert. My husband had the Prime Rib Taylor's Cut with sautéed mushrooms. We also got escargot and jumbo bacon-wrapped scallops, both were savory and tasted buttery enough. Additionally, the reason why I'd give it a 5, for our server, Mr. Mario, is accommodating, knowledgeable about the food, and makes sure that he attends to his guests promptly. Ambiance is intimate, the bathroom is clean, while parking may be a challenge when it's busy. P.S. I just wanted to share that the bread wasn't warm and the butter was still frozen like it was just taken out of the fridge. It would be ideal if both are warm enough so it would be easy to spread out the butter across the bread. read more

Reserved the wine room for a dinner experience for our first time at Taylor's and we had a great experience! We opted for the three course dining experience with salad of your choice, prime rib (with cream spinach and mashed potato sides, creamy horseradish sauce, and au jus), and a vanilla hot fudge sundae to finish off. It was spectacular. The Moscow mule was a great add on to the meal. Our group had our own secluded spot in the wine room (with early booking) and felt like the staff was always making sure we were satisfied. All the staff who took care of us were friendly and the ambiance is a slightly more upscaled vibe. The restaurant offers complimentary valet parking, although there is a small parking lot as well in the back shared with other neighboring restaurants/gym. I would highly recommend this prime rib course, and will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Taylor's Steakhouse - Lemon drop - Lounges Near Me - La Canada, California

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the great old school steak house vibe. There are paintings of the surrounding LA area on the wall to make it look like you are looking out of a window. The service was great. We were quickly seated, got drinks and some warm and soft sourdough bread. One of the specials was the rack of lamb with a mint sauce. This dish was amazing. Perfectly cooked and tender meat with an amazing flavor. I also tried the bone in ribeye and it was ok. The ribeye was cooked to order, medium, and came out as expected. It was just lacking a little flavor. The vegetable sides I ordered, asparagus and mixed veggies, were just basic steamed veggies. For dessert I had the key lime pie and it was great. Taylor's is on the pricier side so I expected the steak to be great but it was just good. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend the rack of lamb! read more

It's an OK steakhouse nothing to write home about pretty old school. I don't think I would come here again not my favorite.

Taylor's serves delicious prime rib in a generous cut that is perfect for hungry guests. The au jus is warm and makes the best accompaniment to that hand carved medium rare prime rib. I like to dip slices in the Au Jus sauce boat instead of pouring it over and getting cold. Goes well with horseradish and a side of creamed corn. read more

Had a drink at the bar before dinner and the bartenders are old pros and one of the last few places to do a generous free pour, no jigger. A nice way to start the evening. This is the only steakhouse or restaurant I've found in LA County, that does a true prime-rib dip sandwich, their "Beefeater Dip". Not those things with paper thin slices of overcooked beef, although tasty not a true prime-rib sandwich. I went to college in San Francisco where Haufbrau's were a thing, sadly no more (No German food in sight other than chubby knackwurst) with rather a short selection of quality food served sort of buffet style. There was at least a half a dozen Haufbrau's serving roast turkey, prime rib, corned beef, ham, spaghetti etc. and a selection of sides, mashed and boiled potatoes, turkey dressing, veggie, etc. and great SF sourdough bread. They all had great "French Dip" sandwich's their signature dish, (because of the competition to outcompete) on amazing SF sourdough baguette with true Au Jus. They always had lines around the block particularly at lunch time. In 1971 you could get a hefty French dip, with two sides, mashed potatoes and turkey dressing with gravy and a Coke for 90 cents. Today $30.00 bucks at Tommy's Joynt 55 years later. . Now have lived long enough to tell my story, nothing changes. I can remember my mom telling me when she was high school in 1941, you could buy a hot dog, chips and a coke and entrance to a movie for .25 cents on Fridays, $13.25 without the movie today at Pinks, 84 years later. Just a side note Pink's makes one of the best hamburgers in LA. Go finger, indeed. . The point is, I'm spoiled. A French Dip isn't truly a French Dip unless the beef is thick sliced off a rib roast. Taylors French Dip is the real thing. If anyone knows of a good or better one please let me know. There are somewhat of, not too close, two second places, Tam O'shanters Atwater Village and at Chris & Pits, of the famous bbq sauce, in Downey and Bellflower, but not on par with Taylor's. Checkout Tommy's Joynt on Yelp in San Francisco for the feel of a Frisco Haufbrau, one of the last ones standing. It looks a mess, but in spite of that the food was great. Don't ever get the "Beefeater Dip," if you are not prepared to be unhappy with having anything less, which I guarantee will be your fate. The only thing I don't like about the restaurant is the awful lighting. I feel like I'm in a dungeon, everything feels like a shade of gray and dingy . A hang out for zombies, not flattering to the decor or skin. The place would look a whole nicer if they hired a quality professional lighting designer. It would really bring out the charm of the bygone era design. Plus it would increase their revenue. It's the one thing so many restaurants fail at, and they have no concept of what I'm talking about. But if hey could only see the difference, they'd understand. Wish I had taken a picture, next time. read more

Wow, the service and food was exquisite, everyone should try this place at least once

Taylor's is my go-to place. Service is wonderful. Ambience has a classic feel with red leather seats, wood walls and low lighting. Great bartenders and servers. Love the french onion soap, Molly salad, garlic bread and a wonderful choice of main dishes. Last night was the first time I was disappointed. I ordered the special Chilean sea bass. It took an extremely long time so I presumed it was frozen. Sure enough, it tasted like it and had the fake looking grill lines in it. Dry and no flavor. Just like frozen fish you can buy at the market. Taylors should not serve this dish because it can quickly ruin their reputation of quality wonderful tasting dinners. read more

Wonderful! Dinner was delicious, service was impeccable, great atmosphere, lots of parking. Would do again in a heartbeat.

I'm never one to chase trends , so when my friend Pete said Taylor's in La Canada I said I'm In. Molly salad was good Its been great before Iced Shrimp Cocktail superb and The Steaks fantastic no need for sauce , had the 14 oz Rib EYe and my new favorite London Broil . Service was good can't wait to go back read more

Great food and drinks, on their classic Steak House menu, prompt service with an attention to detail.

Brought my husband for his birthday. We live close so why go all over the city on a Saturday? The Saturday menu has rack of lamb as a special. I don't cook lamb so it was the right dinner choice for him. I had filet Oscar and our son had prime rib. I know it's a dark chubby environment but it worked for his dinner. Service is great, I'll definitely be back. read more

We enjoy the food and the service. The atmosphere is nostalgic with the dim red leather booths and red booths. The problem is that if you enter from the parking lot you have to walk past the bathrooms which stink. It's clear they try to cover the smell but the chemicals just make it worse. Walking through that smell ruins the experience. read more

3.8 stars this trip, Prime Rib, perfect cook, but questioning the "Prime" verse Choice cut of meat. More gristle than a Prime cut would have, in my experience. Sister got the Filet chili, which I tasted as well, questioning the Filet verse Chuck, I make filet chili often. Service was better once the "servers" got involved. We had to ask twice for table settings, and refills on soda. Not there fault, but the young family behind us had a young boy that needs better "out to dinner", manners. Pretending to vomit for several minutes was a little much to ignore. I used to come here very often, now for a treat. I will be back again. I still love the style of the steakhouse ambiance! read more

I had been craving steak, which is not often. I wanted something simple without the fancy shrills and so breaking the bank. My bf mentioned Taylor's for out date night and it looked pretty solid. They had plenty of parking in the lot. I would say dress code is business casual, although I saw a guy with t-shirt and a hat. The inside has a very old school mood with dim lighting. They serve complimentary bread and butter. The bread is I believe sourdough, which was cut in thick slices. Soft and chewy. I do wish the butter was not so cold and hard. It made it difficult to spread on the already soft bread, so you end up eating small chunks of butter. We ordered a bottle of Stags Leap, a Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm not a big wine person or a fan of cabs but my bf said this is a very good one and that I would like it. I will say, it did not disappoint. It did not feel as heavy or rich, but rather a bit smoother and sweeter. Paired very well with the steak. _Taylor's Classic Caesar Salad (Half $9.95 / Full $12.95) I got the half size, which was pretty good size for a starter salad. I was afraid the dressing was going to be heavy handed, but it was the perfect amount. A classic and simple salad. _Filet Mignon ($47.95) We both ordered this is medium rare. It was a bit dry on the edges but luckily as I got to the center, it was perfectly cooked medium rare. Good seasoning. I got the sauteed mushrooms ($2.95) and mashed potatoes ($2.50). The mushrooms were the right amount of saltiness and the mashed potatoes were nicely whipped. I like the small bits of the potato skin. My bf got the asparagus, which was pretty bland. Overall great service and price is very fair. You can't get that kind or price anymore for a steak, especially the side dishes. If you are craving steak, this will do the work. read more

Friday night was packed but luckily the wait was 20 minutes to get seated. Ordered the following: Clam chowder: had a slightly fishy taste. Wasn't the best or freshest clam chowder. There were a few pieces of oyster and needed some pepper flakes. Chilled jumbo prawn cocktail: this is a must order if you like seafood. The prawns are juicy and thicc and really refreshing with the cocktail sauce. Bone in ribeye: flavorful and fatty. Just thinking about it making me drool. Definitely a must get! Service is courteous and friendly. Interior is gives an old school steakhouse feel, but everything is modern and clean. Valet parking is available but otherwise there's a huge lot that's shared with other businesses. read more

This is my favorite steak house in the Pasadena/Altadena/La Canada Area. The food is great and service has always been amazing. The drinks are also really good!

Awesome steak place, get the wine room for an old school feel back in time. Great food and service.

We unfortunately had the disadvantage of having Chase as our waiter. To start, our dinner has been going on for 3 hours and it's still not done with how slow the service is. They brought food we did not order and he got most of the items wrong. My husband ordered one thing and they brought something different and way more expensive, and when it came to desserts, his order went in one ear and went out the other. Rather than bringing out the food and drinks he would check in every 15 minutes. My father in law had to mention his medical condition in order for him to move faster to bring the salads. Yet still he took his sweet time bringing all the foods out. Overall this was a horrible experience, it left a bad taste in our mouth and we will most likely not be returning. Save your time and energy and go next door to Sakura instead. read more

Traditional Red Booth Steak House Nice old school atmosphere with a great staff that does their job and allows you to eat in peace! I was surprised how reasonable the prices are for the quality of the food. They keep it simple and don't gouge you on prices. You won't find Filet Mignon in three sizes starting with the small one being $59. They also don't have an overly complicated menu with excessive options that just waste your time. We had a party of six and everyone enjoyed their dinner. One suggestion I do have is in regard to reservations. They currently do not accept reservations for parties under 8. They do get busy and to expect a group of 4-6 to take the risk of waiting an hour to be seated on a first come basis seems ridiculous. They should allow reservations for parties or at least 4. read more

Love this place. Review is based on about 4 years of going regularly (and another 8-10 of stopping in, after having first gone in 1997 just after they opened). It's a classic old-school steakhouse with a great martini, serious cow, solid sides, hard-working and honest staff, and a decent wine list. It's not hip or trendy and that's what makes it good. Do they miss on some things? Sure. Does the wait staff sometimes get overwhelmed or forget? Sure. Can it be tough to get a table on crowded nights? Sure. But there is nothing much better than sliding into one of the two-tops in the bar, ordering a martini, watching the crowd, and then moving on to a solid steak dinner and a big glass of wine. We'll keep coming here as long as it stays just the way it is. read more
