    Filet mignon
    Joseph T.

    Service 5/5 as far as the staff from the hostess to our servers. Food 4.5/5! So close to a 5/5! Ambiance 5/5. Length of time for food 2/5. Price for value of service and food 4/5 Overall rating 4/5! If you plan to come here, on a relaxing day and not in any type of rush, have great convos, it's aright! If you are very hungry, prepare to wait, order bread and appetizers! Also their menu. I went on open table. So hopeful to get the crab cakes, disappointed when the actually menu no longer has it. Boo I had the Chilean Sea bass 4.5/5, they gave you a pot of tableside serve of dashi broth, pieces of lobster and crunchy veggies under the filet do fish. It was great. Flavors good, the veggies gave me the crunch texture. The lobster was full flavor and the dashi balanced it out, little smoky but such a good balance. My wife loved her tender filet mignon, I ate her broccoli too. She said her meat didn't even have to have the sauce. It was good on its own. Kids loved their chicken tenders and fries. My son ate his entire plate. They said 5/5 3 decent size pieces of tender on top of a plate of crunchy fried fries and both kids approved. We also ordered the French onion soup, 4.5/5 so much cheese that stretched! Plenty of onions and a layer of bread. Bottom layer of soup , very legit, was not over salted. It was good and the cheese charcuterie board. 4/5, OMG I loved the honey on its comb, so good. I would come back, this place is grand, lots of land, lovely scenery, just very huge place. Probably fancy weddings, lovely spa packages and romantic weekends. Everyone was really friendly from the lobby to the valet service. Take a walk all around the property! There's a lot of history in this building.

    Pancakes

    Food- had breakfast at the place several times while staying there. The drip coffee was sometimes served hot or warm at best. Eggs weren't always cooked consistently as ordered. Potatoes were delicious. Salmon was fresh but bagel was lacking.The avocado toast had a "different" taste combination that made it bitter tasting. French toast was bland and hard. Oatmeal was good. Eggs Benedict was balanced and tasty. Pancakes were flat with no flavor. Bacon was nice and crispy. If you order sourdough bread, they will bring you white bread. It happened every time. Service- with the exception of two servers, the rest were NOT attentive. Slow and never came back to offer refills of the water or coffee. Ambiance- beautiful poolside restaurant Overall, the food and service were alright and did not meet the expectations of a luxury resort. If you are staying there, it might be worth having food there if you're planning a pool day.

    The ambiance and service is great. Max was very patient and helpful. The food is not bad but not great.

    I'm not sure why this place has such low ratings. I was staying at the hotel, so breakfast was included. It was a Sunday, and on weekends, breakfast turns into brunch, served until 1 PM. You can choose between a buffet or à la carte options. They offer a great variety, including a live egg station where you can have eggs prepared to your liking. I chose the Eggs Benedict with spinach and mushrooms, and it was delicious! Soft drinks like coffee, tea, and juice are included with the brunch buffet, but anything else, such as cappuccinos, lattes, or alcohol, comes at an extra cost. The service was friendly, and I loved the ambiance. Since it was around Christmas time, the entire atmosphere was festive and lovely. The place was busy with people celebrating, including ladies' gatherings, birthdays, and gift exchanges.

    We came in for breakfast at this pool side restaurant at the langham Pasadena. Place was so packed with tourists for a Saturday morning. They started to serve lunch at 11am but guests still had breakfast / brunch buffet option. We chose the latter cause the lunch menu was so limited. The brunch buffet choices were not bad. Omelette and eggs benedict station was nice. Good amount of breakfast bakeries but no gluten free options at all. Salad and fruit station was my favorite. The food selections were decent but the flavors were lacking. I had to put salsa sauce on the flavorless foods to make them taste better. But we really wasn't expecting much for only $39 pp including soft drinks. It was a very relaxing breakfast / brunch and the service was great. Definitely up to a luxury hotel standards. I would say it's a nice place for brunch nonetheless! Ps. Valet $15 with validation

    We enjoyed high tea here on a Saturday afternoon and it was really lovely from start to finish. They offered vegan, gluten-free, and regular options, and everything we tried was delicious. The tea selection was great and the atmosphere was elegant, beautiful, and perfect for a special afternoon. The service was attentive and very friendly, making the whole experience even better. It is definitely a bit of a splurge, but worth it if you are looking for a memorable high tea experience in Pasadena. The Langham Hotel itself is stunning, with historic grounds, a beautiful outdoor courtyard and pool, and even a speakeasy-style bar right next to the Terrace restaurant where high tea is served. Would highly recommend all around.

    The Terrace Restaurant at the Langham Hotel is our brunch favorite. The $39 buffet had great variety--loved the omelets, berry station, and awesome pastries. The terrace view was stunning, service was solid, and parking was $17 with validation. Highly recommended.

    Sunday night the hostess was 10/10 . Service 10/10 everyone so nice . The short rib plate was everything I was hoping for . I was stunned by the graciousness by the staff . They really know how to give you that classy feeling.. like you're their special guest . Everyone working Sunday night was very attentive . the manor in which I was served made me blush quite a few times . They really are with that 5 star service . From the hostess to each of the servers they make you feel special like royalty . here I love this hotel so much , it's my happy place . 11/10 will be back .

    Not bad but ... I don't know if I would've come here if not for our daily breakfast and meal credit. The menu isn't cheap, particularly the weekend buffet (more on that in a bit). The Terrace is the Langham Hotel's more casual breakfast, lunch, and dinner eatery, when you want something less formal than the steakhouse. Some of the options on the breakfast menu ARE worth it. The picture of my granola doesn't do the size justice. Picture two fists' worth of yogurt sitting on top of a thick, solid layer of toasted granola, drizzled with honey and topped with blueberries. It was possibly the best granola I've ever had. I ate most of it and the amount kept me full and satisfied well into the day. They also offer a market fruit plate for $18 and before you scream at the price for just some fruit, the plate is about the size of a trough. I saw a waiter carry it to a table with both hands. In addition to the heap of fruit (banana, kiwi, grapes, oranges, berries), the plate also has Greek yogurt and several slices of banana bread. If you're not particularly hungry in the morning like me, this is a great option to order for the table to share. That said: - $9 for a glass of grapefruit juice? No. Just no. - The weekend breakfast buffet is first-come, first-serve, but I recommend skipping it. First, the price tag is $40 per person, not worth it at all if you're only getting one or two plates of food. Second, the options were pretty skimpy. They had avocado toast, breakfast pastries, scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, bacon, and some fruits/berries but come on. If you're charging $40, at least include more protein, like smoked fish. Or even yogurt. It took a while to flag down our waiter for the check. Weekend brunch was super loud and we ended up escaping to the Club Lounge for a second round of breakfast.

Food here is very safe, trite, hackneyed California cuisine beaten to death like a worn out horse. It's not really bad and not very good offending no one, but food that is boring and not particularly drop dead flavourful. I wasn't super hungry and decided to order more of the sides. 1) French Fries with some skin on, looking rustic, had a touch of that ineffable earthy potato flavour. Asked for extra crispy, but just got a bit crispy so their default fries must be rather limp. Standard ketchup in a steel ramekin. 2) Roasted Golden Beet & Arrugula Salad had sweet, softer, smooth texture, Arrugula had a fibrous, good green herbal, peanut oil scented flavour. Not too funky, creamy goat cheese. Roasted walnut halves. All napped with a subtle Champagne Vinaigrette. Portion was about half of what would be expected in other comparable restaurants. 3) Bread Pudding: The bread was spongy, moist, eggy almost like a flan but lacked a deeper dairy, milkiness as well as lack of hints of warm spices such as cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cloves. Bland would describe the general overall flavour. Topped with cream rich ice cream. Scattering of blueberry, blackberry, strawberry. At home, I drizzled on Grand Marnier for more citrus cognac aromatics. 1-3a) Iced Tea The food here seems to be the Midwest version of what California cuisine should be. Middle of the road, steady as she goes, don't rock the boat. Our waitress was efficient, helpful, thoughtful in a business-like manner which facilitated our group of 8. The male helper with a moustache and the inked hand was great at keeping our glasses topped off. 3 stars for a safe, not overly effusive food that does not offend. The outdoor optics holds the charm and strength of this restaurant.

The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was very friendly and informative but was not quite as attentive as we would expect for an establishment like this. This was our first time here, so we had to try the Asparagus Fries. The asparagus was cooked to perfection but the batter did not have much flavor. Members of our party ordered the California Salad, a Veggie Burger, the Meatloaf and a Picante Pizza. The California Salad was smaller than expected but delicious. The Veggie Burger was excellent! The Meatloaf was the hit of the table. It was so good that my wife did not offer a taste to any of us. She was in food Heaven. The pizza was exactly as described and tasted wonderful. Since we were celebrating my birthday, our server brought me a delicious piece of double chocolate cake with a candle in it. Nice touch!! We also had one of their Warm Butter Cake's with some excellent vanilla ice cream on top. Absolutely wonderful!. This may be our new "go-to" place. Looking forward to return to savor the other items on the menu. Their drinks looked delicious as well, so we will definitely try those too.

    Was in Pasadena the other day, and had not eaten yet, so decided to go by Nick's, since I had never…read morebeen, and try a few of the items that sounded tasty on the menu. Made a reservation about an hour before, so when we got there we were seated immediately. After a quick glance at the drink menu, had to get the Mai Tai with lilikoi foam on top. So delicious. Had my first lilikoi foam in Maui and I love that I'm starting to see it around Los Angeles now. Adds such a punch of flavor to an after we balanced drink. For food, we started with the bacon deviled eggs and shrimp taquitos. Those deviled eggs were lightly fried, which was different, then had apple wood smoked bacon on top, just a really tasty bite. The shrimp taquitos were also not what you would expect, nice and light but still very good. Entrees we went with the center cut fillet and the prime rib dip with swiss cheese on a brioche bun. That sandwich just melts if your mouth after dipping it in the jous, and the cheese was the perfect accompiament. The fillet was cooked perfect as well, coming out medium rare. Overall, great restaurant in Pasadena. Definitely get the Mai Tai, Devine eggs and prime rib dip. Taquitos were good and, if you're feeling like another hg er appetizer, definitely a way to go . The fillet, also great but I feel you can get it anywhere.

    My friend & I visited Yang's Kitchen this past weekend & had a great brunch! We both ordered the…read moreYang's Set w/ our choice of protein, everything was fresh & flavorful. I also got the Ruma Latte, which was delicious--sweet & tasted like caramel in a cup. We shared the mochi pancake after seeing it recommended on TikTok! It's was good but not life changing. We went close to opening, so the atmosphere was peaceful & cozy. The staff was kind & welcoming, though we did have to ask a few times for our table to be cleared. Since the two-person tables are small, a bit more attentiveness would've made the experience even better. Overall, great food, cozy vibes, & I'd definitely come back!

    Hubby & I had high expectations for dinner, but we were not impressed by the flavors. Many of the…read moredishes were lacking balance. Yang's fried chicken wings - this was a solid dish. Chicken was juicy. I usually don't eat chicken wings. Even after it got cold, the wings still tasted tender and not dry. Grilled Cabbage with Bagna Cauda - I do like a good cabbage dish, but the cabbage was under charred, way too greasy, & lacked acidity. After finishing the half portion of cabbage, it left an unpleasant after taste. Not a well balanced dish at all. Not my favorite dish. Maybe we should've gotten a simple salad instead. Dan Dan Campanelle - the dish came warm not hot. Good flavors and the Campanelle had a good chew, but not an exceptional dish. Hainan Fish Rice - I was so looking forward to this dish. The fish was cooked perfectly, but again lacking balance. The ginger oil is muted and purely decorative, lacking the sharp, sinus-clearing bite needed to wake up the dish. Without the bright, raw punch of ginger and chili, the dish tastes heavy and one-dimensional. I just wished there were more flavors and not just the taste of oil with each bite of fish and ginger. Good ingredients used, but just too heavy on the oil, too light on the aromatics. We didn't fully enjoy our meal as much as we would've liked. We might come back and try the brunch some day.

    Pasadena is one of my all-time favorite cities and they have some great restaurants. We hadn't been…read morein this side of town in a while, so I asked my son to find us a new spot to try today. We ended up at Magnolia House for a late lunch/early dinner. They also serve breakfast/brunch only on weekends. Walked in around 4:30pm and we were greeted by Brian, one of the managers. Brian was the standout star of the whole experience! His energy was exceptional and he is such a great conversationalist. He checked on us several times throughout our meal and made sure we were doing well. He on his own was HANDS DOWN a five star human being. At first, he wanted to seat us in the back corner but I told him the table was too small and he accommodated us with a bigger table. Our server Kiana came up to the table with a pleasant smile and greeting to take our drink orders. I got a glass of cranberry juice along with some water. My son got the American Dream cocktail along with some water. We skipped on dessert. From 4-6pm, they have a happy hour menu with some of their cocktails and shareable plates. The portions are just a bit smaller and the prices are a little lower. It's a good way to sample different items. I think we got a good variety of food to enjoy. To start, we got the Little Gem Salad. It was such a unique combination of flavors and SUPER delicate/light. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The next starter was the Zucchini and Feta Fritters, which was good but not the best out of everything else we ordered. The zucchini was a bit mushy but the batter it was fried in was crispy. Another starter we shared were the Moroccan Spiced Chicken Wings. These wings are gigantic and very flavorful. They definitely pack some heat, so be careful. I don't think the A/C was NOT working to begin with, so the place was already hot. The wings made us sweat even more. For entrées, we got the burger and the pork belly. Brian said they are known for their burger and after taking the first bite, it's clear as to why. It was absolutely PERFRCTION. So delicious! The bun, the meat, the cheese, the onions, and the crispy bacon...all of it mixed together into the perfect burger. I had wanted to add some mushrooms and avocado to it, but Kiana said they were unable to do it. I also asked for lettuce and she said that would be an extra charge. What extra charge for lettuce? We still got charged for avocado when the bill came, but they took it off once we mentioned it. The pork belly was also very tender, flavorful, and crispy. It's just hard to compete with the burger! We also got an order of the Belgian Fries to share and we were both pleasantly surprised at how good they were. The fries are salty and cut pretty thick. The sauce that came on the side was so yummy. We asked for a small extra cup to-go. All in all, the food was great and we liked everything. The vibe of the restaurant wasn't really all that for me. Brian genuinely made up for anything that was lacking in the atmosphere. He is such a wonderful asset to the restaurant and their company. The restaurant itself has been here for about 15 years now and it used to be a very old house. You can tell when you look around. They did a good job with the renovations, but you can see the different areas/rooms. I think they tried to keep the casual comfort of a home, while making it a slightly elevated experience. It was very clean everywhere, especially the bathrooms. They have one gender neutral bathroom, one for men, and one for women. No private parking, so you'll have to park on the street and put money in the kiosk. They also had an outdoor seating. Pretty BIG, only took picture of one side. They also have 2 small TVs. In the bar area and inside their cute lounge. I normally like to try new places, especially when I'm in Pasadena, so I'm not sure if I'll come back here. Maybe if Brian is working, it would definitely be worth stopping by again! Thank you all..

    Wonderful experience!!…read more Celebratory Happy hour with the girls! Our waitress, Jasmin was soo accommodating and served us well!! I enjoyed the Moroccan rub on the chicken wings and the zucchini fritters Along with the house burger , soo yummy!
