Reading the reviews on Yelp, i didn't have high expectation, I went only because I want to check out the beautiful Langham. Praise lord, everything turns out wonderful, from the food to the service. Everyone from the hotel is so nice, from the chef to the server and the manager, who came to our table and check upon us three times, even offer to take a photo for the group. The service is prompt and impeccable. The food is delicious, all thumbs up. Best dishes from the Dine LA menu: the scallop appetizer, the halibut entree and the creme brûlée dessert! Free Valet parking for the Terrace Patrons. read more

At a recent breakfast I learned first hand that The Terrace is really not much more than an excuse to visit The Langham Huntington without having to drop more than a C-note. Let's start with the service, shall we? The weight staff seemed busy and with less than attentive to your needs. The dining experience was than exemplary. It was not cozy, it was not intimate it was not inspired. considering the cost to breakfast, one would expect to be wowed by what they were served; I was not. The coffee was alright. I would have liked to have been impressed by the coffee. The eggs benedict was just okay. The presentation was passable. For a good dining experience in Pasadena, I would say skip The Terrace and head to Marston's. read more

Nothing about this place sounds or feels or tastes like a restaurant in a five star hotel. From the moment we arrived, the hostess made us feel unwelcome. Then when we got seated, the server was inattentive. So much so that I had to get up, find a carafe of coffee and pour myself the coffee. We waited an hour and no food had arrived. Finally, we just left with no food and unhappy with the service. On the plus side, the sunday brunch had live jazz playing. I think the servers don't want to serve the food because they want to just encourage people to have the $55 sunday brunch (which wasn't appearing that spectacular). For $55, they better have it all. To only have omelettes, some pastries, dim sum and fruit and cheese, is clearly inadequate. read more

This was a treat! My Cousin Iris & family were staying in one of the cottages (very nice!) here at The Langham and invited us to join them for lunch. We usually don't get this fancy an atmosphere! The lookee-loo in me loved walking through the grounds on our way to this on-site restaurant. We opted to dine indoors in the wonderfully air-conditioned room (heatwave going on outside). The room has a nice feel. Upscale, but still casual enough where we felt comfortable. Especially since the hubby & I were under-dressed for the occasion. The lunch menu stated that the food was prepared as Chuan Lifestyle Cuisine which my cousin explained was an emphasis on healthy ingredients and cooking styles. Great for me because I have dietary restrictions up the wazoo! What we ordered: Bread & crisps basket with a delicious spread (what was that?! I'd like to know!) and creamy butter. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-terrace-pasadena?select=mEB-4sDhClOGNR4nGsunQg#mEB-4sDhClOGNR4nGsunQg French onion soup (which was said to be really good) & house salad combo http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-terrace-pasadena?select=mEB-4sDhClOGNR4nGsunQg#9gb8V8Mi5hwYAZ7fcBwrPA I had a deliciously spiced Roasted Butternut Bisque soup along with a side basket of tater tots. The tots' quantity was way more than I expected and I kept passing the basket around. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-terrace-pasadena?select=mEB-4sDhClOGNR4nGsunQg#edDu06W4P_XoYhMW9z0HQg The crab roll & beet chips combo looked really good! I tried a few of the chips and this is something I'd definitely order if I see it on a menu in the future. Great to snack on. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-terrace-pasadena?select=mEB-4sDhClOGNR4nGsunQg#6zlOO56WgnIyN97KjLW9FA My husband had a roast beef sandwich & sweet potato fries combo. Pic's lost in cyberspace. But it came with an adorable mini-ketchup bottle for dipping. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tutti-gelati-pasadena?select=FnffgAld_rAKPjcWBAfBWg#FnffgAld_rAKPjcWBAfBWg IMHO, a bit pricey here. But, considering the upscale environment, it's what's would be considered the norm. The food was good and I wouldn't mind coming back. I see there's a Sunday brunch so maybe we'll come back for a special occasion. Thank you Iris & family! read more

Went here for Christmas dinner 2015, pre-fixe meal for about $80 P.P They quality was ok, the choices were poor and really did not have any option or ability to customize to cater picky adults or children. Given that it was a christmas dinner, not sure why you would not offer kid-friendly options as well. Seems they just wanted to attract the older clientele who had no desire to cook at home. The place is getting dated and not really updating with the times. It reminds me of a country club dining room. read more

The Sunday Champagne Brunch at the the Langham Huntington Hotel's Terrace restaurant is a splendid affair. *Sunday Brunch is $75 for adults and $35 for children under 12 +The best Sunday Brunch I have ever attended. +Valet parking is complementary (gratis). +The omelet station is fantastic! -Expensive for those on a budget. I have attended brunch here twice now, and our party (of 4 each visit) really enjoyed themselves each time. The food was both varied and tasty and the all you can drink champagne and mimosas compliment the meal nicely. Among my favorite food sections, is the aforementioned served to order omelet station. You have your choice of 3 or 4 different cheeses, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, olives, peppers, ham and more among the ingredients to choose from. The made to order Dim sum station was also a pleasant treat. The focus at this station was having the Dim sum made fresh right in front of you and then consuming it a few moments later. The Brunch also had a bevy of other sections including areas for sushi, a variety of cheeses (try the delicious but strangely named "lamb chopper"), cooked to order sausages and kielbasas as well as an assortment of seafood and other goodies. To top it off, there is a nice dessert area with a petite chocolate fountain in which you are encouraged to dip a variety of desserts (these include strawberries and both chocolate and white cake). This review would be bereft if I did not include my compliments to the outstanding waitstaff. While the outside patio area where we were seated was not busy, our attendant still did a fantastic job of taking out plates and refilling our glasses. Refills of champagne, mimosas, coffee and tea, it did not phase him and he was right there to take care of us. The servers and cooks at the food stations were also unfailingly polite and really made the dining experience a pleasant one. You could do little better than enjoying this brunch on a Sunday afternoon while dinning in the outside patio on a sunny day. This is also a perfect meal and location for a small mid-day celebration of any birthday or special affair. read more

SIMPLY THE BEST !!! the best Sunday brunch a person can have. I love this place. Although it is NOT CHEAP you can indulge with a great view and take a walk thru the gardens with your Champagne. Reservations a must!! and Valet only (hey its the Ritz what do u expect)~~scratch that now the LANGHAM Reservations a must sit outside on a nice Sunday read more

Pasadena Pimping First, I'm sure this place is "historic". Huge comfortable chairs, huge wine menu and a huge brunch menu. Everything from waffles, short rib hash, french toast, smoked salmon benedict, crab cake benedict to ahi tuna ( just ask ). I grabbed the Dim Sum brunch and had Pork Bao, Shrimp Shu Mai, Wontons and a few Pot Stickers. Every time I set my glass of OJ down it was filled instantly. I even made the omelet guy make me a few creative unneeded omelets because there is no reason to make his time standing there uneventful. If your in the area and want to brunch like a king of the 1970's this is the place. read more

I am reviewing my breakfast this morning. I came bright and early at just past 7, and there was no wait on a Sunday morning. My party & I were quickly seated with friendly service and a hot cup of coffee. The menu was filled with (pricey) options including Half a Grapefruit ($7), Continental Breakfast (assortment of baked goods, fruit preserves and juice, coffee or tea), Smoked Salmon & Bagel ($19), Buttermilk pancakes (blueberry, banana, or buttermilk ($15), Hawaiian French Toast ($15), Huevos Rancheros ($18), Eggs Benedict ($19), Breakfast Burrito ($18) and a number of other classic breakfast items. There weren't too many different or unconventional items on the menu, but I'm sure there's something on the menu that everyone can love :) They also offer oatmeal, cereal, and fruit. I enjoyed their Energy Breakfast ($22) which included an eggwhite fritatta with broccolini and asparagus with a side of homemade museli and grapes. The grapes were tart and sweet and pretty fresh. Their museli bar was sub par, soft, chewy, and frankly, a little over spiced for my liking. Their eggwhtie fritatta had a little bit of cheese on the bottom I believe, it wasn't terribly special... It was cooked in what looked like a mini cast iron skillet. with delicious asparagus sitting atop the eggs which had a little bit of wilted spinach.. Overall, I don't believe the $22 was justified at all. The Hawaiian French Toast was really rich and sweet on its own, the Pineapple Custard and Syrup were entirely unecessary. It was warm and cinnamon-ey. Nothing particularly special about this breakfast.. read more

Yet again, nice work #Pasadena. I mistakenly thought I would be enjoying the fares of television-fine-dining ultra-villain Michael Voltaggio, but I think the Terrace buffet is more food for the masses. Once I learned this, it seemed pointless to bother with the menu--gorge time. I will say it was the best $30 breakfast buffet I've ever had. The fish (particularly the oysters) did not look too fresh, but even that can't touch the 5-stars on the Langham Terrace. Can't wait to go back for the real Michelin star stuff, as well as the Langham's bar. Beautiful grounds. Excellent service. read more

My family and I just went there tonight having our pre-thanksgiving feast. after reading all those negative comments, i had a bad feeling before i went, but it actually turned out pretty good. we ordered a side asparagus which is very cute; scallop for appetizer. you have to try that! the scallop was so fresh and tender. filet mignon was not dry at all maybe because we ordered well-done? i didn't find the salmon pizza. the salmon was alright. halibut was tender as well but there wasn't much flavor into the fish desserts? nothing fancy. maybe go to some local cupcake shop and you can find better. do NOT order the scuffle. after a long 20mins wait, you will find disappointment :( read more

Ordered from the Dine LA lunch menu during Sunday brunch. Service from the waiter was nearly non-existent. Coincidence? Food was mediocre to boot. Very meh. read more

I'll admit that Sunday brunch is, for me, one of the hardest food experiences to do well because there's a lot of expectation. You have to cater to an audience with a variety of likes and dislikes. I believe the price is around $30/person including coffee, tea, juice (no alcohol). The other option, if you're not that hungry, is to order a la carte. I was surprised at how small and limited the buffet seemed. It's pretty much a tiny section of the room. There's your cheese and cold cuts, veggies and fruits, and your pastries. Over on the other side is a small selection of hot food and the made-to-order station. That's about it! I felt so bad for the chef because he was so busy working by himself! He made a decent omelette though. Service is mediocre. The waiters weren't very on top of things so we had to ask him for refills amongst other things a couple of times. It was a warm day and there seemed to be a good number of people but my parents (cue embarrassing moment) were talking to the chef and he said it was actually a slow day. They also used to offer champagne brunch but it didn't sell well. Overall, I just didn't feel that the food was there, even with the limited variety they offered. As a result, I don't think I will return anytime soon. read more

We use to come here for brunch a lot. It is no longer the same, was so much better before. Stick with the menu items instead of the buffet. No longer the seafood tower filled with oysters on the half shell and caviar place. Service is still very attentive. Grounds are beautiful as always. Smoked salmon was very good. But we were disappointed that the Sunday brunch is now so limited. read more

Likes: prime rib was DELICIOUS juicy and tender, bread came with tomato sauce/spread that was delicious, some kind of bread chips that look like it had some asiago cheese on it or something but it was good, dessert was chocolate souffle and sorbet with four different flavors (raspberry, mango, passion fruit, and coconut) were both good, server was very friendly. Dislikes: butternut squash soup was kinda too sweet (but still good) Tip: get the three course prime rib meal because it's worth it! comes with appetizer, entree and dessert. otherwise, everything else is pricey. I mean, come on, fish tacos for $14 bucks?!?! read more

What a terrible experience! We decided to try to have a nice sunday breakfast and thought, the Langham must be able to serve that up. Boy were we wrong. We arrived at around 9:30am, and placed our name in for 4. About 10 minutes later we were seated. So far so good. FYI- They have a buffet breakfast available for $30. Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon frying away to nothing on a hot plate, baked goods, fruit, drinks. Nothing special. We waited about 10 more minutes to order drinks...10 more minutes when the drinks arrived, one was missing, told the waiter...wait wait wait...nothing. Our server did not bring cream for the coffee, we waived someone down and they said that they would tell our server...wait wait wait, nothing. We went to the hostess area and spoke with the supervisor. She (Virginia) came to our table as our server came to take our order (it had been about 30 minutes since we were seated). She told him to get another round of drinks on the house, to bring the missing drink, and to have the kitchen rush our order. We never received the round of drinks and it took another 10 minutes for the missing drink to arrive. Wait wait wait. Our food finally arrives, and it is wrong, I ordered the Corned Beef Hash ($20) with a sunnyside egg. Not Hash at all. It was a hash brown round, with a slice of corned beef on top topped with fried egg and hollendaise. The egg yolks were cooked all the way through, and i guess, in their version of "hash" i have to hash the meat and potatoes myself. My boyfriend specifically asked for sour cream with hims eggs benedict. We saw the waiter write down sour cream Did it ever arrive? No. He asked for his hash browns well done. were they? No. Were his eggs properly poached? no. They were also cooked through. He waited to eat his breakfast until the sour cream arrived. minutes pass the waiter never came by to see if everything was okay. He only came back to clear the plates. We didn't touch our breakfasts and he didn't even ask if everything was okay. We asked him to not clear our plates and once again got the supervisor. She immediately apologized and asked if she could get us something else. We had been there for two hours by now, and never received what we asked for. We weren't looking for a free meal, we expected good service from a restaurant in a quality hotel. Apparently, they don't take as much pride in their Terrace. Although she comped our bill and really, did all that she could, we never ate anything. We got one drink and two iced teas for two hours of sitting there. We ended up at our normal local small time restaurant for an awesome breakfast. read more

Since the Chinese corp bought the hotel and took over the operation, the terrace has adopted a diff model.. replace seasonal changing menu and the fresh ingredients with stale, factory/cafetaria style food. You will no longer find items such as grilled branzino, fresh fish tacos, crab salad sandwich or even the guilty pleasure tater tots. Instead, the terrace lunch menu has remained relatively unchanged the last 3-4 years, consisting of run of the mill chicken sandwich, pizza and burgers and of course, the mundane salmon , a menu that's completely indistinguishable from any other commercial hotel chains. The only difference is you'll being paying $20 for the bland chicken sandwich and factory dough pizza. We used to come here twice a month for lunch, and since 2014, we still try to visit the Terrace every 6 months hoping to see some improvements from the kitchen. However after consecutive utterly disappointing lunches, I finally succeeded in convincing my wife recently to sever ties with the terrace for good. Too bad, as a local we've always booked this property for our visiting friends and family, but now we will be sure to insist they dine else where. read more

Since we were guests at the hotel, and it was already 9 PM, we decided to stay in and just have dinner at The Terrace. It was, as the rating says, "A-OK". This is a solid choice if you staying at the hotel (and you won't leave unhappy or hungry), but I would not make a special trip to the Langham just for this restaurant. Pros: Service: welcoming, attentive (got my glass of ice easily since I like very cold water), bill came promptly. Atmosphere: we sat outside and it's lovely to overlook the pool. It became just the smallest bit chilly so an overhead heater was turned on. (Note: inside was VERY noisy, probably because on the weekends there are weddings at the hotel and the wedding guests seem to do a lot of loud talking, "whoo"ing, clapping, etc.) Bread: bread basket has several choices, and the bread was warm (!!) and the butter soft. Cons: For this price point, food just wasn't good enough. I had the turkey cobb salad which was good, with lots of bacon, turkey, tomatoes, etc. The bacon vinaigrette was tasty. My husband had two appetizers: the frites and the corn soup. The frites had a strange off flavor. We speculated that they had been fried with other things, without changing the oil (fish? sweet potato fries?), but we weren't sure. They were only kind of crispy. The soup was fine--a good corn flavor--but not great. I debated whether to bump the rating up to 4 stars, but that would mean "I'm a fan" and I think it was fine, but not really good. read more

My 10 person group has been waiting for a refund to our credit cards since July 20, that was volunteered by the management (NOT asked for), for such poor service. Going on almost a month and 6 phone conversations with the terrace, the last of which I was told "the refund just went through" (this was last week and none of my group has seen a refund). Absolutely horrible service and I would not ever recommend this restaurant OR hotel. Worst service for the price. Very disappointing, as I had high hopes. read more

Came here for lunch during the week. It was not busy and the service was very attentive as in a nice hotel. The outdoor seating by the pool is great on a sunny day. I had the clams linguini and English breakfast and they were pretty good. I like this hotel since it's in a quite neighborhood and usually not very busy even on the weekend. The service has always been consistent and I will come back again if I am in the area. read more

Went to brunch here on Sunday. The staff was very nice in seating us as soon as a table was available. The brunch was simple but good. We chose the buffet. Your options were a bagel station w cream cheese and lox, an egg omelet station, cereal bar, and a pastry station. They also had sausage and bacon. There was also a dim sum section but I don't eat meat for breakfast so I didn't have any. The orange juice was freshly squeezed. We sat outside overlooking the pool. The weather was nice and they had heaters set up. Overall the food quality was great and I was happy we went. read more

I have been staying at the Langham for the week and most days I have rushed off and grabbed breakfast on the road. Since I finally had a day to relax, I decided to try out breakfast at the hotel. There are a lot of breakfast places nearby, but I figured it would be a pity to not try breakfast for at least one morning. I decided to sit outside on the terrace by the pool. The environment is peaceful and very pleasant. I decided to forego the $30 buffet and order a hue so rancheros ($18). Juices and coffee are around $5-6 each. This is a hotel so I figured the food would be pricey, but I at least hoped for something special. It was just OK, but definitely wish I had decided to go elsewhere. The hash browns were bland and not crispy. The eggs and tortilla were OK, but I have had much better. Honestly, if you want great breakfast food, go around the corner to Julienne. read more

This hotel is iconic, service was excellent, food wise, casual dining outdoors and great for burgers and fries during summer nights but, they have a special closed room for privacy and is nicely arranged for special occasion. My boys love this place and can't wait to come back. read more

I had my bridal shower last weekend. Let me break it down for you: The Atmosphere: The Langham hotel is very beautiful and classy. Valet is $5 with validation. The Terrace main area has a whole side with windows which is nice, and there are outdoor seating options. We rented the private room, which is a windowless room with a long table in the middle. There is an area with a mirror to put up decorations and gifts. The room isn't that big, but seated my 10 guests and myself comfortably. The Booking Process: The rental fee for the private room is $150 with a 2 hour limit. The restaurant sent us 2 menus to pick from. Once we picked the menu, we select 3 appetizers, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts from the list to be printed on your own custom menu for your guests. The Food: To be honest I wasn't not expecting much because of the reviews of this place. But I was actually pleasantly surprised. I got the steak frites. I asked for medium rare and it actually came out medium rare! The Brussel sprouts appetizer is really good too. The service was excellent. Not once did I have an empty drink! After the 2 hours, we walked around the property to take some pictures. The staff are accommodating since there was no other reservation after us and let us leave everything in the room. Overall a very pleasant experience. Really wished the private room had a window and better lighting though. read more

After an amazing stay at the hotel, we head to The Terrace restaurant on a Sunday morning before checking out. Loved sitting outside overlooking the pool, it was a relaxing atmosphere. Due to The Dining Room being closed for renovation, they are not serving Sunday Brunch at this time. We were seated quickly and then the service went downhill from there. I don't know if they were having issues in the kitchen or were shorthanded, but the wait staff service was severly lacking. Our waiter was rushed and very unfriendly. An assistant came and brought hot tea and coffee, no one ever came back to see if we needed refills. The waiter was extremely rushed when taking our order and it took 30 minutes to get our breakfast delivered to us. Again, the waiter never came back to see if our food was to our liking, nor did he bring coffee and more hot water for the tea. We finished our food which was okay, nothing special, especially when you charge $18 for Huevos Rancheros and $5 for two pieces of sausage. I expected the food to be rather expensive based on the caliber of the resort, but along with those prices I would expect much better service. We had to ask for our check as the waiter ran past us, he came back by running and grabbed as he past us again, we got a thank you in passing. Disappointing to say the least. read more

Had my sister's birthday dinner here this past Sunday. Our reservation was at 8:30pm for 8 people, we got there a little earlier to hang out in the hotel bar and just to roam around the beautiful hotel. Right at 8:30 we walked over to The Terrace and was seated right away. I like that we didn't have to wait for the table (though it was a Sunday night, we shouldn't have to wait). Our server was really nice, but the drinks took a little long to arrive. When our server came back with our drinks he apologized and said he was also the bartender, which is a little strange but the french martinis ($16 each) were great so we didn't care. They had a prime rib dinner for $38 which also includes appetizer (choice of soup or salad) and choice of desert. It was a good deal so most of us ordered that. I ordered my prime rib medium and it came out perfect. However, my friend ordered it medium rare and it came out a little bloody so they took it back to sear it a bit more. I wished I would've paid attention to the side that the prime rib comes with (baked potato) so I could've substitute it for something else. I chose the french onion soup as my appetizer, it was a little too salty and cheesy (don't get me wrong, I LOVE cheese but it was like pizza cheese and I had to pull it out with my spoon). I gave my dessert to my sister to take home so I'm not sure how that tasted. All in all, I would give this restaurant 3.5 stars for the food but since we had such a pleasant dinner and a great time, I'm rounding it up to 4. :) read more

Food was good but I just have to say that the supervisor that was there when I dined in a couple weeks ago seemed to be a little racist. I believe her name was marissa. The table next to us who happened to be minorities was treated differently than the other tables when spoken too. And then my husband witnessed her give dirty looks when she walked away. Usually I don't get involved and write reviews but as we were leaving we witnessed her again being rude with another customer who was a minority. Again our service was fine and experience was pleasant but it's just unfair that others don't get to experience the same luxury that my husband and I do. This blatant racism needs to be taken care of in this day in age! read more

The best Brunch anywhere hands down.... Sushi, Dim Sum, fresh seafood.....quality is amazing...price is reasonable, considering your at the Ritz.....nice atmosphere ( I like to sit outdoors, and tasty desserts..... read more

Came here for the chinese sunday brunch. The food is decent. We had a large table indoor (we had a big party). The omelot bar was nice. The fresh juices are definitely something you should take advantage of. The chinese food was just ok. Better than your regular chinese buffet I guess. Not as good as a regular dim sum restaurant though. You're at a 5 star hotel, I would imagine they'd hire a great dim sum chef. Oh well. It's a little expensive honestly. Probably a 3.5 star kind of place. Round up? Round down? Guess it doesn't matter that much. read more

We have been here twice for Brunch and once for Valentines dinner. All three times were excellent. The brunch menus are good with a wide selection. The Valentines menu was limited but none the less superb. Valet parking with validation is $6. The hotel is very beautiful and so are the grounds. If you want to have your wedding here it would be heaven!!! Highly recommended. We will be back. Thank you Pasadena. read more

We had a delicious Valentine's Day breakfast today. MO took excellent care of us. He is professional, friendly and handsome (not required but an added plus). Thank you for making the day special! read more

During the workweek, The Terrace tends to be the turf of the business world, not exclusively though. This hotel restaurant is off the beaten track with valet parking in the front as a deterrant to casual dining. My lunch companion did not wish to participate in the fanfare of valet parking, so I convinced my husband to play chauffeur for us during his lunch time on a day well-scheduled in advance. It was an excuse for him to leave his office. After much thought, where else to have a long lunch with a good woman friend when the objective is to converse? Many times we find ourselves in places where thinking is impossible. Why not dine in the ambiance of quiet elegance in relative privacy? My lunch partner had dined here through its various iterations, starting with the Huntington Hotel, then the Ritz Carleton, now The Langham with tales to tell with respect to her experiences here with her friends through the years. I was the newbie with interests in the ongoing development of The Langham. Is there anything here to engage my out of town guests, the hardened travelers? Interestingly, both of us chose the veal cheek strogonoff with maitake mushrooms on parpadelle, knowing that there would be enough for another meal. Neither of us eats that much, but we diddle with reading the menu, any menu, seeking something we haven't had in awhile. Let's say that I would return for that strogonoff. The service was impeccable with our waiter wanting to accomodate. Well done. What was hysterical was that with our need for privacy---it turned out a friend of my companion was at a nearby table, away from earshot, also having lunch with a friend, in need of celebration and privacy. In answer to my own question about there being something here for my guests---it looks like The Tap Room which is open in the afternoon with a solid bar menu, for the friends flying into LAX ready for dinner by 4 pm. read more

For a casual restaurant, I thought The Terrace exceeded in the "casual dining" category with their classy presentation of the restaurant and food. However, I felt like because the restaurant is located in the Langham. I automatically expected more from the service. Our server wasn't bad but he can definitely up-sell more. The service was missing a little "wow" factor. The short rib appetizer was fantastic. I love to order salmon in restaurant. It's either a hit or miss. The salmon entree here was way too soft even for medium rare. It literally melted in my mouth. The tomato risotto was way too salty. I would definitely recommend the chocolate raspberry concoction over the chocolate souffle. The chocolate souffle was ok. It wasn't chocolaty enough for my taste. The chocolate raspberry concoction was beautifully presented in this arch plate. It had a crunchy maple syrup cracker on the bottom. For the same price, I would recommend going to Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel instead. The views are breathtaking and the foods are fantastic. read more

Came for the so called 'Chinese New Year' brunch. Where's the Peking duck? Oh that Sam-woo duck under the heat lamp. I see... Having been to Four Seasons brunch at $60 a person, and now a $75 a person Langham brunch, it all boils down to paying for: 1) atmosphere. 2) service. 3) little jars of honey made by Bonne Maman in France. Food aren't out of the world spectacular. If you're looking for one of those 'Woah, this is REALLY good' feeling, eh...not going to happen. But if you're here for the above 3 points, then yes. Oh yes, there is one difference besides the $15 price gap from Four Seasons. You get less of the celebrities here at Langham (we met Morgan Freeman and Samuel Jackson @ Four Seasons) and the oh-we-just-had-sex-because-we-met-at-a-party-last-night-and-we-are-wearing-party-clothes-from-last-night-and-now-we-are-hungry-Hollywood type inch worms. The crowd at Langham is a little less party type and more family oriented. read more

Loved this place! During our two day stay, we had lunch, brunch and late night snack at The Terrace during our visit. We ordered 2 crispy brussel sprouts (totally delicious and I don't like brussel sprouts), truffle frites, turkey cobb, pork belly bowl and grilled salmon. For breakfast, we had the breakfast buffet which was consist of made to order omlettes, salmon/bagel, several potates, fruits, pastries, etc. Both lunch and breakfast were great!! We will definitely be back when in the area because of the brussel sprouts!! read more

My fave place in all of Pasadena. I love to bring friends here from out of town. It's relatively affordable for lunches. There is a pianist on duty during the weekend. It has some of the best real estate around, locally: it overlooks the swimming pool area (during warmer months, you can dine outside). It's part of the Langham Huntington Hotel, with all the ambience, class, graciousness, expert hospitality that that first class hotel brings. read more

I wanted to update to add details about Valentine's Day dinner. Although expensive ($75/person), this is really a great place to go. We got a 6:15 reservation, and it was not too crowded. The fixed menu came with lobster bisque (bitter for my taste, but I don't normally eat lobsters), goat cheese salad (dainty but good), choice of entree (I got the fried cauliflower -- YUM), and dessert (sorbet or torte -- both so pretty and GOOD). We also got some little bonus bites like some weird salty pana cotta and a cute swan cream puff. The service was great, and wine pairings were available. I also got a free rose! Valet parking is free if you eat there, and of course, the wonderful views in the outdoor area was very romantic. read more

Came here for dineLA for lunch. The hotel is very beautiful. Took a peek at the ballrooms and they were beautiful. Lunch was okay. It was by the pool, and not too loud. Service was good, and I felt like a lady who lunched, instead of someone who scoured the Internet for the best deals in town. LOL. Has a leisurely feel to sit and enjoy your meal. read more

Thank you for a wonderful experience, the blend of heirloom tomatoes salad with the whipped burrata is amazing! Always love the gnocchi, I was sorprised to see that the gnocchi was burned, and that they served it like that, but they were nice enough to replace it with a perfectly cooked one :-) which I loved, for dessert I recommend the mango creme Brulee, I enjoyed dinner, great service, I have been to the Royce next door, a little pricier, I preffer the terrace outdoors, a little more casual, and I enjoy their food selection. read more

Took my friend here for a birthday dinner and the place seemed more casual than I thought it would be. The food was ok. Most of the things sound a lot better than they actually taste. Not that they taste bad but nothing was really memorable. To be honest, I can't remember anything I ate that's worth mentioning or remembering. I guess the passionfruit sorbet was good. I remember that. I also remember the $150 bill for two people. Other than that, everything was just ok. I'd rather spend that amount of money somewhere classier and with better food. read more
