The menu has a great mix of dishes and variety of excellent appetizers to select from. I had the French Onion soup with braised short rib as my appetizer...sooooo good. This is a must have. For dinner I had the Fish and Chips...a great amount of fries came with the fish. This place is always busy and packed. I'd eat here again. I recommend this place.

The staff was very accommodating in making sure the action was visible on a couple of their many large TV screens. It was a Monday afternoon so there was lots of open seating. We arrived during Happy Hour and were pleased to find a nice offering of a variety of items on the food menu. Tried all of the taco variations and enjoyed them all. We found the assortment of cocktail options inviting and ordered several rounds of drinks. We were not disappointed by any of the different choices. My only wish being that some of these delicious cocktails could be found on the Happy Hour menu. With any luck they will be the next time I visit, with or without traveling companions.

Driving in has great views of the mountains. Parking was easy and free on the streets. The restaurant was busy but manageable for a Saturday morning and Its self seating and pay first which makes it easy when ready to leave. Friendly staff, clean and nice decor With a decent selection on the menu. 2 of us ate - 1 regular burrito and 1 regular breakfast plate. Burrito was a filling portion to the point i was 'almost full'. Breakfast plate was decent, the one minus I had was the potatoes came out cold. I mentioned it when they came back around for the "how is everything" ask and they brought out a brand new plate of hot hot hot potatoes. Great service. Would recommend it and would again.

First time here (: I was craving…read more breakfast burrito so was recommended by the sweet cashier girl to go with a pastrami breakfast burrito my first time cause I was deciding between that or the og breakfast burrito! So I went with her recommendation & it was so yummy & filling! Very much enjoyed my meal! As for my drink I got the Italian soda which was in the flavor vanilla. It wasn't the greatest. So asked for more vanilla & it helped a little but just think other flavors are so much better ( strawberry, mango, berry) so I wouldn't order that again. Overall the place was busy always people in & out! It is a cute little local joint to do work on your laptop or have a meal. Staff was helpful & sweet! Would return be back for another burrito (:

Each dish is small so our table ordered a quite of few plates and did more of a family style. So we could try all the dishes. The wines were also great, we got to the bottle of moscato and a wine flight! Our waiter was friendly and great! :) We brought a birthday cake and they were able to keep it in the fridge for us. We decided not to have it served there since they had an additional $25 fee for brought in desserts. Overall the ambiance of the restaurant was very pleasant and the Photo Booth was working and took only card and you get 2 photos for $5.55. Felt very nostalgic

That's without you even asking them about a booth. They just do it. This is because their service and common sense about the needs of young children/older toddlers far surpasses Bess's. Even when they could seat us at a smaller table with chairs only. Many staff here are not in tune with the needs of families who dine because it's quintessentially more geared toward date-nighters or the occasional larger adult-only party and because the staff demographic doesn't scream "I have dined with kids!" Only recently have they started giving plastic utensils and cups to 3 year olds that would otherwise break lots of glass. Also it's clear others have had negative hostess experiences here... I stand by my original review and wish the owner would do more than just wishing patrons well if they got up and left (in fact he never offered any kind of comp and only backs up his hostess saying in the past we didn't sit at the "table" we reserved). Sadly, I don't see this place being around for a very long time despite the food being overall fine enough. You could certainly get more authentic and elevated Italian-Italian food in Duarte if you look around a bit..

I also got to try the raspberry jam with my sourdough bread and it was delicious. I definitely will be back to try more items on the menu!

Buenos nachos are bueno Drinks are great, Margaritas are tasty. Service is friendly, but can get a little slow when busy, so make sure you order what you want before the server disappears into the crowd. The back patio is deceptively nice. It just doesn't look like there is one until you get there. You'll know what I mean when you go... The bar gets pretty loud, but you can avoid the noise by sitting outside or the inside patio.

I was looking for a place to eat in Old Town Monrovia and came across Sena on Myrtle after seeing…read morethat the reviews were pretty solid. I wanted to try a place that served something other than typical American food and also had a good alcoholic beverage menu, so this seemed like a good choice. The wait wasn't bad, and I was seated toward the back of the restaurant in a quieter outdoor area, which I really liked. There was plenty of shade, comfortable seating, plants used as décor, and an overall relaxed atmosphere. It felt tucked away enough to enjoy the meal without too much noise. Convenient for me as i had my little one with me. I ordered a watermelon jalapeño margarita, but with vodka instead of tequila, and Tajín on the rim. It was delicious! It had a refreshing, flavorful taste which was exactly the kind of drink I was hoping for. For food, I ordered the steakhouse tacos. The tacos were tasty and cooked really well, but the portion size was a little disappointing. They only come with two tacos, plus tortilla chips and sauce, so paying around $16 felt a bit pricey for what you get. The food itself was good, but I definitely wished the portion was a little more generous. Customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, and I really liked my waitress. She had a warm personality and took care of my order within a reasonable amount of time. Place was worth trying. The atmosphere was nice, the drink was great, the food was cooked well, and the service was lovely.

Flavorful, well-seasoned, and the bun held up to all the toppings without falling apart. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. The beignets: Didn't expect dessert to steal the show, but these did. Hot, fluffy, powdered sugar everywhere -- like New Orleans met California. We ordered one batch to share. Service was on point, vibe is modern-cozy, and portions are generous on burgers, not so much with tacos. For better tacos go to Baisin where tortillas are hand made and flavorful.

The applewood smoked bacon added great flavor, and the roasted tomato basil pesto sauce really brought the whole sandwich together. I had the Bourbon Barbecue Burger, and it did not disappoint. The bacon was excellent, and the combination of aged white cheddar, house barbecue sauce, and tempura battered onion rings created a burger that was packed with flavor. Every bite had a great balance of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. We also shared the braised short rib tacos, which were fantastic. The short rib was tender and flavorful, while the pickled onions, watermelon radish, and serrano peppers added freshness, texture, and just the right amount of kick. The fries were golden and soft. They were not particularly crispy, but they still paired well with the meal. Overall, everything we tried was delicious!

You know I've been coming to Foothill for quite sometime now, and my experiences were always good!!…read moreThe bartenders and service were usually good. However, I came tonight with my sister, and it started off wrong. The valet guy was very unprofessional and disrespectful towards my sister. He let a person in front of her valet park, and then when she came after that person/car, he had told her that the valet was full. However, it was two people/cars behind her that he told them they can park and he will be right with them. He had said that it's because they are related to the owners, but I felt that was quite unreasonable to say mainly when you have people dining out to have a good experience, and spend their money. This put a bad taste in my mouth, but we still decided to stay because we love the food and we haven't been for a while. Luckily, out of all the employees the hostess was the best. Very nice and sat us down rapidly. Unfortunately, for our server, Carolyn I'll give a 2 1/2 star for her. I felt that she kept moving fast and wasn't really passionate about her job. We wanted light sauce and no cheese on one of our entrees and she basically said that it's best to order something else since the chef couldn't do it. She took the plate back, and my sister decide to get devil eggs. They were delicious though, I Just felt she wasn't accommodating at all. Even when we ordered the lava cake and on the menu it didn't mention that it had caramel on it, we don't eat caramel at all and it did not mention on menu, and she simply said all the ingredients are not on the menu all the time. So what made this annoying is that we asked her about and what was on the lava cake and she said it was just a plain lava cake. Hmmm just felt that she was very dry and nonchalant and did not care. Made me feel uncomfortable to tell her about the food. Shouldn't feel that way as a patron. I ordered the lemon herb chicken w/ sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes. It was great and tasted delicious!! Happy of my choice! For my drink I had Prosecco and a lemon drop, that was very tasty. Will try that again the bartender was on point. The ambiance was perfect they have a nice seating outside with tv, and nice indoor seating. The bar has a tv and a good hang out spot. They have brunch on the weekends that looks delicious so I would want to try again, but after today I'm not sure because of the service from valet and our server. I really love Foothill!! Good food and atmosphere, but tonight was not it!!! Valet is $5.00 and they do cash or zelle only. -Dr. Marshay Dede

The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was attentive throughout the night. The menu is relatively simple. The quality of their steak is top-notch. Everything we ordered was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The highlights of the evening were the tableside presentations, especially the Baked Alaska, which was both visually stunning and delicious. Watching it being prepared added a special touch to the dining experience. This is definitely a place I would reserve for special occasions. While the experience is worth it, the cost can add up quickly, especially for a party of five or six people. That said, if you're looking for excellent food, great service, and a memorable dining experience, Derby delivers on all fronts.
