    Mac and cheese with chicken. Mushroom appetizer on the right
    Jennifer J.

    Very nice and friendly service. We really enjoyed the food. We started off with the mac and cheese that had some chunks of chicken in it. As well as the mushrooms. And then our entrees were the Chipotle chicken sandwich and the super longevity salad. The salad was one of the best I've ever had anywhere! Are server Nadia was great. There's free parking for up to 90 minutes around back in a shared parking lot for the block of stores. Very convenient to get to. The ambiance is clean and there's a rooftop area but it was too hot the day we went.

    Espresso martini and boulevardier
    Coco G.

    I think reservations are definitely recommended. We arrived yesterday evening at 6 p.m. after watching the new Spider-Man movie at the Landmark movie theater in Pasadena at 3 p.m. and it was an hour wait. The rooftop patio seating was closed last night. Lesson learned: even if reservations aren't easily made online, it's worth a phone call ahead of time to try to make one. Beautiful inside with two separate downstairs areas and one upstairs. Don't approve of the large TVs in the bar area but the sound was off at least. Once we were seated (and by the way, the hostesses were super friendly and hospitable), Joe was our helpful server. We ordered a Last Word and a Negroni with brussel sprouts to start with. The drinks were ok, the brussel sprouts were super tasty and well charred. Next we ordered the pork chop and chicken skillet. I wanted to order the peri peri chicken but they were out of it. We also ordered a boulevardier and espresso martini. The pork and chicken were so tender and flavorful! My espresso martini tasted like a smooth liquid dessert . Very loud inside. My husband could barely hear me. Curious about the rooftop seating so maybe a reservation for up there next time, maybe I'll get to try the peri peri chicken. Highly recommend!

    Artisan Bread & Butter
    Autumn D.

    So the atmosphere and aesthetics were there. Service was SLOW. It took forever to get the artisan bread and butter, that why I gave it a three. Did not care for the duck butter but my sister did like it. The Iced Carmel Latte was a great price for Happy Hour and was AMAZING. Loved the village burger, and the pasta but my sister said it was okay she said she tasted some type of animal fat it may have been cooked with and I said maybe the duck butter. We sat at the bar it was nice I just don't like how somebody was literally standing over me why I was trying to leave so they can take our seats but I like how the waiter told them other people are waiting. Anyways I may have to try the other locations.

    Happy Hour Only! Prior to dinner in Pasadena, we popped in for some happy hour. At this time there are select days at this location where there is all day happy hour-- I believe Monday- Wednesday. Other weekdays its select hours of happy hour that starts at three. Happy hour consist of select beers, wine, and cocktails. With beer starting at $6.50 and cocktails going up to 13 dollars. Plus, there is a wide range of food items to compliment your drinks. The ambiance at this location is particularly nice. I think this is one of my favorite locations. On the first floor that is a large bar, plus there is a roof top patio and seating on three different floors. Note, happy hour is only served at the first flow bar unfortunately. The service is always great at this location. The bartender was very attentive during our visit. In front of the restaurant there is street parking that gets busy at night. Prior to 6pm, some parking in front is limited to one hour so read the signs carefully. Also, the parking in front is metered so pay the pay the meter. I believe there is parking in the rear that offers a limited free parking time. Cheers!

    My first time at Granville and I had a great time here!! We came to sit at the rooftop bar, but we decided to sit downstairs since it was packed upstairs and not so much of a vibe. I tried a lemon drop and prosecco and it was made to perfection. The bartender Juan was incredible!!! Good sense of humor and down to earth. I recommend him if you have him. He's the best bartender there. We ordered a small fry and OMG the fries were so delicious!!! It comes with 3 sides of sauces they are very good with the fries. The ambiance is perfect and nice for date night or hanging out with friends. Good bar vibes and nice location. I will come back!! To try more food options!

    Bread and Caesar Salad
    Alison W.

    Had a great dinner with my family here. we got the Caesar salad and bread to start. For mains we got the angel hair pasta with shrimp, flat iron steak, and the chicken with the miso sauce. Everything was great, we'll definitely be back. Not to mention the cocktails were good too!

    Cucumber Martini
    Klarissa P.

    Will come again! The interior is beautiful. Friends and I stopped in for a late dinner and the staff kept us informed of the kitchen closing so we could get some food. Super nice and accommodating. Food was delicious. Shareable plates are a good size for one person if you're not super hungry for a big plate. Drinks were equally great! Try out their mocktails too. Super refreshing all around.

    Spicy Pasta
    Elissa M.

    The food here was delicious and prepared in a very timely manner! Our server was sweet and made sure to check-in with my friend and I to be sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was rather empty at the time we went and the atmosphere was very nice. I really liked the decor. I will definitely look to dine here again.

    Happy hour area, Bar POV
    Courtney D.

    Being that I am frequenting the Pasadena area this was one on my list to try. Although, this place did come up when I searched for a coffee shop which I found interesting. With that being said my sister did order a macchiato that she said was delicious! We did arrive on time for happy hour but due to the happy hour options I ended up ordering off of the regular menu. I do feel the prices were reasonable, but the customer service was very customer service oriented but service did seem a bit slow when it came to the food arriving especially the artisan bread and butter, and given we were at the bar. Very cute place and clean, and to add they do have a rooftop to enjoy!

    Affogato (Thanks Kolbie, you made my day !)
    Elesia S.

    Beautiful restaurant. Food and service was amazing. Sad the rooftop was closed, but that just means I'll have to return! Special shoutout to Kolbie for bringing my affogato dessert dreams to life

    Mac n cheese
    Frank L.

    This is like my 10th time coming here and I always come back for the tacos !!! Steak tacos are delicious! This time added a few more items to the menu so I wanted to share my thoughts on the food especially cause I didn't see these items on the menu so I figured I try something new. Brussels sprouts are good , might be to lime/lemonie but I ordered mine extra crispy. Side of Mac n cheese , pretty cheesy , can't go wrong. And the chicken soup mmm wasn't the best. Basic soup. Nothing crazy , not enough chicken and needs more flavor. Don't recommend it. They have this moz ball mmm wasn't my favorite. Kinda makes the soup look weird. Idk. My opinion Everything else is great. The place is great, they have a rooftop patio too really nice and vibes are great. Service is great always!!

    Been wanting to check out the rooftop area so we came here for happy hour. Once we sat down, we were told the happy hour menu is only served on the first floor in the bar. We had sweet potato fries, thick cut French fries, basic cheeseburger, village burger and hefeweizen from a local brewery. The food was tasty and I can tell the care they put in the food with quality ingredients and nice touch of fresh herbs with the fries. The restaurant is beautiful. A very nice spot in Pasadena. Service is on point. I'd come back again for happy hour and regular meal.

    Good food! 4.5/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5! Drinks are strong Appetizers are legit and ambiance is amazing! I will come back for sure to give this spot another chance! Wait was a bit long but honestly worth it!

This spot opened about a year ago, and has a cool speakeasy style entrance at the Highland Park Bowl bowling alley. It is a small space, and I would highly recommend making a reservation on Resy. You have 90 minutes to drink and dine. I parked behind the bowling alley where there is a medium sized pay parking lot. Park in a space, remember your space number painted on the ground, and go to the pay station at the end of the lot. I found the parking machine to be extremely finicky as did other people. After ten minutes of failure, I ended up moving my car to another space, and then it worked. This has nothing to do with the Lucky Tiki, but FYI if you park there. We walked around to the front of the bowling alley, and checked in. Seating options include at the bar, tiki hut booths, and high top tables. The décor inside is a tiki lovers paradise. The room has a high ceiling with many tiki lamps, floats, puffer fish, tiki huts, thatch, ropes, barrels, netting, carvings, a hanging canoe, and a large tiki right in the middle of the space. In addition to the great décor, when you order certain drinks, special effects are triggered. There was also great tiki music playing all evening. We sat at the bar since we always enjoy talking to the bartenders. We actually ran into Skipper Christian in the parking lot on the way in, and he ended up being our main bartender, with Nick and Jo also working behind the bar. We put in a food order right away. The chicken potstickers ($12) came with five tasty bites, and the garlic teriyaki dipping sauce was good. We also had the giant pretzel ($16) which comes with mustard, beer cheese, and ranch sauces. This was excellent, and the perfect filling snack before a bunch of drinks. My first drink was the Siren's Song (Flor de Cana Eco rum, lemon juice, cassis, Oloroso sherry, apricot foam topper, $19). This drink is served in a great mermaid with skull mug and triggers special sound effects and bubbles fill the air. Those bubbles on top of the drink had a great light citrusy apricot flavor, probably the best flavored bubbles I've ever had. The drink itself was very good and balanced with some complexity. She wasn't sure what to order at first, and Christian asked her what flavors she liked. He ended up making a spin on a Tradewinds with some mango and pineapple to go along with the apricot and coconut. It was nicely balanced and not too sweet, even with all that fruit in there. My second drink was the Sun of Suns (Tierra de Acre mezcal, coconut cream, Giffard mango liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, $17). This was coconut and pineapple forward with some good smokiness in the background. Her second drink was the Whatever Floats Your Boat (Ford's gin, lemon juice, velvet falernum, orgeat, passion fruit syrup, guava soda, topped with hazelnut passion fruit foam, $19). It is served in a cool boat mug, and triggers thunder sound effects and lighted mechanical Polynesian tiki characters paddling a canoe over the bar. This was another good balanced drink. It was a little gin forward and the passion fruit popped out, maybe from being both in the drink and the foam top. That creamy hazelnut passion fruit form on top is delicious. I'd happily have a glass of that on its own. We were still a little hungry so we ordered the Hawaiian pizza (marinara, diced pepperoni, red onion, pineapple chunks, hot capicola ham, $16). It was another good tasting, perfectly sized snack, and the crust was light and airy. We were already fifteen minutes over our time limit, but we got the green light to stay longer to order a third drink to share. We ordered the Tiki Diablo (Flor de Cana Eco rum, Worthy Park 109 rum, Alma Tepecha chile liqueur, orange juice, lime juice, mango syrup, guava soda, $24). This drink serves two people, is served in a cool volcano bowl with glowing red lava around it, and comes with a fire show. Unfortunately, right after it was served, the host came over and said we were over our time and had to leave shortly. Christian made up for it by giving us two tall pours to go enjoy in the bowling alley bar area which was fine. We were happy we got some extra time inside. The drink was also very good, balanced with a little complexity. We had a great time. There is so much great décor to look at. The drinks and food were very good, and some of the the drink presentations and special effects were the icing on the cake. All of the bartenders were very friendly and a lot of fun. We purchased up a few zombie glasses to take home as a souvenir. I'd definitely recommend visiting the Lucky Tiki in Highland Park!

I'm a second-generation Irish-American from New York, and St. Patrick's Day has always meant something in my family. Growing up it was about heritage, family, and a little joy. Now that I have two daughters of my own -- very Irish-looking girls who are proud of their roots -- I wanted them to experience some of that same Irish pub spirit. So on St. Patrick's Day 2025, I took them to Griffin's of Kinsale in South Pasadena. They were so excited to be there -- the decorations, the music, the feeling of a real Irish pub. For a moment I thought, this is going to be a great memory for them. We came early because it was a school night. The restaurant was busy -- which is understandable on St. Patrick's Day. I ordered three salmon dinners for my daughters and myself. The bill came to about $150. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Over an hour and a half. During that entire time: * No one warned us the kitchen was backed up when we ordered. * No one checked on our table. * No updates. * No communication at all. Had someone simply said "Just so you know, food may take an hour or more tonight," I could have made a different decision -- especially with two kids who had school the next morning. Instead we sat downstairs watching the clock while the evening disappeared. By the end of the night my daughters -- who had been so excited walking in -- were tired, hungry, and miserable. When I asked to speak with a manager, no one came. No explanation. No apology. Restaurants get slammed on holidays. Kitchens fall behind. That happens. But ignoring a table for 90 minutes -- especially a family with children -- isn't a busy night. It's bad management. What should have been a fun St. Patrick's Day memory for my daughters turned into a long, uncomfortable evening where we felt completely invisible. For a place that trades so heavily on Irish identity and hospitality, this was about as far from hospitality as you can get. Save your $150 and celebrate St. Patrick's Day somewhere that actually wants you there. And if management would like to explain how a family ends up waiting 90 minutes with no communication, I'd genuinely be interested to hear it.

After giving him the password, he opened the doors and we walked in. We were surprised in several ways. The place is way bigger than I would expect for a place named "The Speakeasy". And at 6:30pm on a Sunday, we were the only guests inside. Only one other couple came in during the 30 minutes we were there. I would assume they are a lot busier on Friday and Saturday night. It is dimly lit, and very red inside. The bar is large with many bottles of liquor on display and many seats. The rest of the space is one large area that must have at least 20 tables, and the ceiling is high. It gives off more of a nightclub vibe than a speakeasy vibe. I tried the Naked & Famous cocktail which has two of my favorite spirits (Vida mezcal, aperol, yellow Chartreuse, lime, $18). It was nicely balanced with a good mix of smoke and herbal flavor. She had the Pablo's Poison (Altos reposado tequila, strawberry, lime, jalapeno, elderflower, $17). The jalapeno flavor really stood out with strawberry and elderflower in the background. They have a good cocktail menu with almost twenty cocktails, as well as a food menu with ten items. Walk up to the bar to order your drinks. Jeremy, the manager, and the female bartender whose name who I didn't get were nice. We aren't in Pasadena very often, and while they have a good cocktail menu, I don't know if we would return. We were expecting more.

    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..

    Magnolia House was the place to go 10-12 years ago. But the last 3 times I've been here recently,…read moreit just really doesn't have the charm or class it used to have. Service is really really slow. You may see 5 or 6 waiters on staff...but they aren't stopping at tables to check up on guests. Alot of them are just hanging around the bar or front desk chitchatting with friends. The food quality dropped tremendously. It tastes like bland bar food now. $19 for 2 meatballs laying in tomato paste....and they were not even room temperature. Felt like they had these already prepared and sitting somewhere, just waiting for the next guest to order them. Got a mojito that may have been mistaken for a "virgin" drink....cause no one at our table could taste any alcohol in it. They all said it was watered down mint with ice. I wish this place would go back 10 years and make it like "the spot you want to go to"....versus the spot you now avoid.

    **The Palate Cleanser We Needed **…read more After our rather disappointing High Tea experience at the Langham, we decided we needed to **cleanse our palates with a few beverages** and headed over to the Tap Room. We had actually tried to get into the steakhouse first, but at 5:30 p.m. they were already booked until 8:00, so the Tap Room it was--and honestly, **I'm glad we ended up there!** The drinks were REALLY good, and the service was just as great. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was exactly what we needed after our afternoon tea experience. Sometimes the backup plan ends up being the better plan! **High Tea may have disappointed, but the Tap Room definitely helped redeem the afternoon.** Great drinks, great service, and even better company. I'd absolutely come back for the Tap Room! And thank you to Francis and his excellent service

The Music started at 7pm. Much to my disappointment, the Menu offerings were very different from that published online. None of the offerings were appealing, really. We ended-up splitting a cheeseburger (at a ritzy Pub?), really. The snack noshies/nuts were flavorless. The drinks were strong, but very pricey, in keeping with their 5-star rating, I suppose. Our waiter became overwhelmed as the Tap Room filled. I understand. There was a Party of 20 adjacent to our table. It was too hot outside to sit at a table on their lovely patio, so we spent our two+ hours in the hub-bub that was The Tap Room on a Thursday night in the August summer.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the buttermilk biscuits, yellowfin tuna tartare, BBQ chicken, calamari, and the fideos, and every single dish was delicious. My personal favorites were the buttermilk biscuits and the fideos. The biscuits were warm, buttery, and absolutely irresistible, while the fideos were packed with flavor and easily a standout dish. Everything else was just as enjoyable, the tuna tartare was fresh, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and the BBQ chicken was tender and flavorful. If you're dining with a group, I definitely recommend ordering a few dishes to share so you can try a little bit of everything. We'll definitely be back!

The biscuits are perfection and will haunt your dreams. The crudo and burger also stood out. Was dining with some family who were visiting and dinner at Cannonball was their favorite meal of the trip. We were on the back patio for dinner, I enjoyed the metro trains passing, but it is probably not everyone's cup of tea. The ambience inside the restaurant when I got drinks at the bar was very nice. Service attentive and personable on both visits.
