A cute quaint restaurant with a seasonal, rotating menu. We came on a Saturday night with a party of four, and I definitely recommend making a reservation since the space is intimate. The lamb dish was delicious! Full of flavor and a really generous portion. The house-made bread with a bbq butter is also a standout and not to be missed. My husband and sister-in-law especially loved the duck dish, big hit! We also really enjoyed the Save room for the apple pie!! Sooo good! Service was excellent, they were all attentive and friendly. Overall, a great neighborhood gem with thoughtfully prepared food and a cozy atmosphere

Morning catch - the sauce is a little bold for the sea bass.

We came here to explore a new restaurant. The restaurant has a cozy setting. The server greeted us promptly and brought us to our table. The menu has a good variety of selection. We ordered the mushroom appetizer which was very flavorful and unique. For entrees, we ordered the duck and the morning catch. The duck is very well prepared. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, the sauce complimented the dish. My morning catch was just fine. The sauce was a bit too bold, tasted like a spicy bbq sauce, came in a little strong for the sea bass. The chocolate pudding was fine. Maybe we were seated closed to the door to the back, we heard this loud thumping sound from the vibration of the speakers in the back room. It killed the romantic vibe in the dining area, hope they could fix it. Overall it's a cute place if you want to try something different.

The place is a bit hidden between buildings, and now that Pasadena parking structures all charge from the start of the hour, street parking is a bit hard to find too. The restaurant has an industrial feel to the space, with an open kitchen that takes up almost half of it. Unfortunately ventilation is not its strong suit, the air is quite stuffy and the smoke from the open kitchen permeated the room heavily. They tried to open the front door on a rainy day and it wasn't of much help. We ordered the duck and the bolognese. There was a bit of a wait for the duck but the server did set our expectations. Both dishes were flavorful but things were definitely on the saltier side. The duck was also a bit too rare for us and the server let us know that per restaurant guidelines they don't make modifications to their food but they did eventually warm it up a bit for us. The dish tasted much better imo as the higher temp solidified the fibers and made the meat more enjoyable. We thought that the bolognese was good but wished it had a bit more underlying sweetness to it. The 2 dishes came out to be $105.

WOW! I can't believe we haven't been here before, but we were really impressed by this little gem in Pasadena! It's a cute little spot and the service, from the delightful Dani, was excellent. She was attentive, had great commentary about the dishes and wine menu, and we just really had fun chatting. The food was so delicious! We loved the 'Dad's Blistered Habanda Grilled Cakes,' which had some nice heat. Also, the Marinated Fuyu Persimmons & Burrata was a complete winner! It was beautifully presented, the burrata was super fresh and delicious and the dish was perfectly balanced. For entrees, my wife opted for the Line-Caught Yellow Fin Tuna Crudo app, which was quite good, but the ponzu was a little salty and overpowering. Still a good dish and super fresh fish! I had the Braised Bison Short Ribs and, OMG, was it good! Delicious gravy and creamed spinach, complimented with a pickled veg and sunchokes. We had a great bottle of wine from Uraguay that went well with all of our dishes. Wine list is limited, but thoughtful and fair. A few draft beers and cans, and soft drinks are available. They also do a couple of wine based 'cocktails' and sangria. Such a great place that I can't recommend enough and look forward to going back to.

Stumbled upon this local hidden gem in Pasadena. We came in on a Friday night at 7:30 for dinner. I was actually craving pasta in the area and briefly saw that they had a deliciously looking bolognese but upon looking at the menu closely, I realized that there was lamb in the pasta (which I do not eat) so decided to try the duck. My partner got the morning catch cod. To both of our surprises, both dishes were delicious. My only complaint is that the sauce for the Morning Catch is very overwhelming and they had told us that it was not spicy... it was a little bit and as someone that was recovering from a cold with sore throat, it definitely made it worst. The duck was really tender and cooked to perfection, the sauce was very creamy and paired perfectly with the potatoes.

We got fries, tuna, and bolognese and they were so flavorful and delicious! It's a small space, but it has an amazing ambience with dim lighting. The service was fantastic. Our waitress was jovial and so excited to help us find great dishes and recommendations.

Met up at Holy Saints for a belated birthday meal with friend. I made a reservation online but since it was early for dinner, there was no rush and no long wait. Friend and I split a couple of items: the barnyard spaghetti bolognese ($39), Grandma's creamy corn risotto ($34) with a $5 upcharge for prosciutto, and Underwood farms strawberries shortcake ($13). All are solid choices! I was craving risotto and Holy Saints' version definitely hit the spot. There's limited seating so I can see how it can be tough getting a table during rush time. Do the reservations if you can. I found street parking and paid via text, which allowed me to see if I needed to add more time. There's also some parking structures nearby for a nominal fee.

Came here before watching Oasis, that day was full of people around the area, I'm glad we made a reservation. Formerly living in Pasadena area, I was surprised I've never been here because I don't think I explored this area that often. We were seated outside but they were able to adjust the umbrella so it blocks the sun onto my face, so it wasn't hot at all. The Japanese roasted eggplant has a unique taste but their duck is amazingggggg! I'd comeback for that one. The fries are super crispy too. Parking is not easy because it's old town Pasadena.

Fanny S.

We ordered the eggplant dish, which had a flavor very similar to Asian cuisine, slightly spicy with a touch of mala, and its texture was quite unique, almost like yogurt. We also tried their fish, which they said was freshly caught, and it was incredibly tender. The black cod came in large portions, making it both delicious and a great value. For the main highlight, we had their signature duck. The portion was so generous that two of us couldn't finish it. The duck was cooked perfectly, and the thick-cut fries on the side were super crispy. Overall, the food was outstanding and very affordable for what you get. The service was absolutely amazing. I went there to celebrate my friend's birthday, and the server took care of us the entire time like a personal attendant. The restaurant has a warm, homey décor, and the flavors are well-suited to Asian palates. Honestly, I would rank this place among the top three restaurants in Pasadena. Definitely worth revisiting and highly recommended!

Came here for a birthday and we all agree that the food was worth it. Parking: I mean, it's in Old Town Pasadena so it's either the hard to find street parking or the expensive parking lots. The restaurant is dim so it's cute for a date night! One thing I wasn't a big fan of was that the kitchen is open so you will end up smelling like food and it kind of burned my eyes a little. Now the food: For apps, the server gave us recs. APPS: Tuna Crudo: 10/10. The tuna's texture was something else, in a very good way. The sauce is mildly spicy, tangy, and savory. The garnishes on top are a must and complements the dish so well. Fave dish forsure! Waldorf Salad: 10/10. Good balance between the fruit and greens. Perfectly tossed in the dressing. Eggplant: 7.5/10. Just wasn't my fave. The sauce is smoky and lightly spicy. The char on the eggplant was too much for me. MAINS: Duck: 9.5/10. I usually love duck but this duck was slightly salty and not as tender but it had really good flavor. Bison Short Rib: 11/10. Another FAVE! The mashed potatoes were very creamy and savory. The rib itself was packed with flavor and tender. There's a salad on the plate with a tangy dressing. Lamb: 10/10. It was not gamey at all. It was perfectly cooked and tender. Easy to eat and not chewy. Potatoes were also great. Bolognese: I didn't get to taste it but it looked good There's 2 per person cake cutting fee in case you're bringing in a cake. The server we had was friendly. Overall, I'd highly recommend this place and would visit again!

Michelle G.

Ooommggg definitely check this place out! Who knew...a hidden gem... The eggplant was phenomenal. Words won't accurately describe the culinary genius with flavors extraordinaire-wow, superb! The risotto was insanely delicious. Fresh basil in it was a delicious enhancement to an already epic dish. Our server was super adaptable given our rush on time to make concert. Chill atmosphere small place with adequate seating. The food blew me away. Must make it back again!

Katherine S.

I really wish I could give five stars after reading a lot of glowing reviews! I got here on a Saturday and got seated right away. I was debating between the pan roasted duck and lamb sirloin steak and ended up getting the duck. The portion is very decent I will say! However, the duck was too chewy and not as tender as I thought it would be...I'm not sure if it's the duck itself or what because it's definitely not overcooked. I love the chocolate pudding though! Very rich and creamy and yet not overly sweet! There are about 7-8 tables and bar seating! Service was good!

Irene B.

Had a great overall experience. I made a reservation and we were promptly seated. Our server was very energetic and friendly. We ordered the fries and tuna crudo for apps, both of which were very delicious. We especially liked the tuna-- no fishiness at all. We also ordered the short rib and sea bass. Short rib was fantastic- so tender. Texture of sea bass was great, taste was a bit overwhelming. I would go back to try their other dishes as they all sound delicious.

What a great place! My wife and I each had one of their signature sandwiches. The pastrami on mine was so delicious and bbq-smokey with the perfect balance of melted cheese and toppings, I was in heaven! Their bread is so soft with such a good bite, I couldn't believe it! We've been searching for the perfect deli sandwich bread for months and we finally found it! We also got sides of macaroni, potato, Caesar salads AND cheesecake for desert! Everything was SO GREAT!! Service was on point!! Such a warm and welcoming environment to enjoy lunch. Great playlist, good vibes, wonderful folks and delicious eats!!! We can't wait to come back...definitely recommend you pop in and fill up :) read more

What a great new sando spot in the heart of Pasadena. We ordered 3 Cubanos and a Ham and Cheese. Outstanding taste, french roll is awesome and is a good sized sandwich. Paired with a great selection of wines and beer. Perfect! This place is a MUST before the games at the Rose Bowl. They also have an inspired dinner menu which they will be trotting out later this month. Owner is a great guY who cares. Support this spot. My guess this place will fly under the radar for a bit before it becomes a go to cult classic! read more

There's something interesting in the concept of Holy Saint's food, and the rave reviews are enticing. But it didn't work for us. Endive in a Caesar salad? Sure. But not without ANY crunch. Spinach patties? OK. But not with what amounted to 1000 island dressing. Fish portion was small, skin soggy, lots of unremoved gray flesh. The best item was the Bolognese, but whatever the most forward spice was, nearly ruined it. Add to that stingy pours of the expensive by the glass wine, the scent of floor cleaner, and loud classic rock in an already loud room. The server was very nice, but inexperienced and nervous. All in all, not worth $170 plus tip! We both have multiple decades experience as food server/bartenders in fine and not-so-fine establishments and are generally forgiving. We WANT small places to succeed. Maybe if the actual chef had been cooking, the off kilter recipes would have worked. It had that feeling. Sorry! Please try harder! read more

This place is definitely a new favorite of mine in Pasadena. The ambiance is great and the food is phenomenal!!! I ordered the Tony Soprano sandwich which came with chips and a soda. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Their burrata with peaches is my absolute favorite now and they just added an Italian chopped which was very fresh and tasty as hell!! Most of the plates run a bit bigger so they are definitely shareable. They also have a beer cider which paired great with everything for me! The owners Daniel and Stephanie are very nice and welcoming. It's easy to pass time here and enjoy a great meal at the same time! Will definitely be coming back for more of their tasty menu! read more

Came to this spot randomly by scrolling through photos on Yelp. Not sure if new American is the category for this place. It's more like a farm to table restaurant with a rotating seasonal menu. It gives cozy neighborhood home vibes. I came looking for that Cuban sandwich I saw posted but what I got was so much better. The food was absolutely amazing! I had the scallop crudo to start and it was sooooo good. A refreshing dish and great portion for dish that was categorized as a small plate. For my entree I ordered the half rack of lamb chops that came with a nice helping of potatoes. The dish was phenomenal! The server and chef were super nice and attentive and great to converse with. I am most definitely coming back to try more dishes! read more

Wow! I hardly ever write reviews, and I almost hesitate because I don't want this place to get so busy we can't get in But - it was so delicious I just have to say so. The menu was really interesting and the food was exceptional. My husband and I split the spinach cakes as an appetizer, then I had the lamb and he had the quail. I'm a little fussy about lamb, and don't like it if it is too gamey, but this lamb was fabulous. It's a small, quaint place. Our server was wonderful - warm and friendly and really knowledgeable. And the price was amazing- for the quality of food, I would have expected it be much higher. read more

Absolutely love this new cafe! I had the best experience dining here recently. I was greeted by Stephanie who was super friendly and helpful when I was deciding what to try. She offered her recommendations and knew exactly what wine would pair lovely with my meal. I do forget our waitress name but she was a doll, just as friendly and helpful as Stephanie. Now aside from the great service the food was top notch! Daniel the chef knows what he's doing and was very friendly. We had to thank him after we gobbled up our food! My friend and I shared the charcuterie board and shared their chicken club sandwich, which oh my gosh I wish I hadn't shared! It was definitely made with love! Delicious! I loved the vibe as well, the music selection was right up my alley! I love that this place is family owned and operated. Will definitely be back and bring the girls for wine on tap and date night with hubby I will always support a family owned business and especially one that will use their platform to help underserved communities. Daniel the chef gave us some really cool insight behind their name "Holy Saints!" Give them a try and support this great new cafe read more

Attentive and friendly service by Karina. Good music and ambience. Masterful food preparation by Daniel. I started with a full-bodied Chardonnay and Summer Salad with pistachios instead of walnuts.

We all have that ONE local restaurant / cafe you can always rely on because their food is so finger-licking good, service is top notch, and vibes are chill like that cool breeze on a sunny Southern California day... that's HOLY SAINTS CAFE! My partner and I have been here several times and tried all different types of dishes from the lunch sandwiches, dinner pasta with wine, and even the tri tip steak (special menu that was only available for few weeks ). Everything was SO good that our only regrets were... why didn't we order more?! We even joked with Chef Daniel that next time we come, we might just ask him to work his magic and create a dish that he's inspired by because every single item on the menu we've tried was AMAZING. My taste buds have been spoiled time and time again. If you haven't stepped into this gem hidden in the streets of old Pasadena, please do so.

I was in town for a brief time, and after work I was starving. I found this place around the corner from Courtyard / Old Town. Let's cut to the chase: The sea bass was absolutely fantastic; perfectly cooked, nice and moist, in their basque-style piperade. The sauce had a nice tight texture, not watery, with peppers, onions and a little spice that wasn't overpowering. The jasmine rice pilaf was perfectly complementary. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

First things first. How in the world did we not know this place existed?!?!?! We had a last-minute opening for dinner on Sat and found this restaurant hiding on Yelp. My husband wanted to check it out, so we called in to make sure they could accommodate us. We popped over and were warmly greeted and quickly seated. We ordered the Waldorf salad, Grilled sourdough, Scallop crudo, Spinach griddle cakes and The Catch of the day which was Seabass. It was all so yummy! We walked out wanting to come back. We managed to go 4 days before the call of the Waldorf salad dressing was too hard to resist and headed back for dinner last night with our kids. We basically ordered the same thing and then added the French fries, Risotto and Lamb to the order. Again, so yummy. The Waldorf salad dressing is worth the visit alone. Everything was cooked perfectly, and we ate it all! The wine list isn't huge, but it is carefully curated with something for everyone. We went with wines by the glass, I enjoyed the Pinot Grigio and husband enjoyed the Grenache Noir. On our first visit Chef Daniel, Stephanie and Karina were so welcoming and we really enjoyed the vibe and service. When we came back, they remembered our names! Karina took such great care of us both times and was very attentive. My husband was delighted they put big carafe of water on the table, so you don't have to keep asking for more. The Chef cooks in an open kitchen so you can see the magic happening if you want to sit at the bar. It is impressive how much they can put out in a small kitchen space. I understand they change the menu every few weeks. Our menu had BBQ theme to it. I normally am not a "BBQ" fan, but Chef Daniel made it all delicious and played with favors and ingredients to make a perfect dinner. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. If you are wondering where to go for dinner tonight, go to Holy Saints, you will not be disappointed! read more

Amazing food, ambiance, wine, and staff! Tucked away on Holly St., a few blocks over from Colorado. Old town local vibe. Super chill. I've been trying new restaurants in the area and decided to pop in early on a Fri nite. Got a seat at the counter overlooking the chef preparing all the meals. Ordered a rose, very tasty. Short ribs with mash potatoes. Amazing! I will definitely be back to try more things. Highly recommend. We really don't have anything like this in Pasadena. read more

We stopped in today after my husband found this place online. WOW!! Our entire experience was incredible. It wasn't very busy when we were there so there was plenty of room for our stroller. The AC felt WONDERFUL! The man & woman duo were very friendly and kind. Hubby ordered the tri tip sandwich and I got the BLAT. We split the Polynesian pasta salad and an order of cannolis. I had the sparkling rose and he had a glass of red. Everything was phenomenal... We joked we'd be back at 5 for dinner. We can't wait to make our way back in, and we heard the dinner menu is even more plentiful. 5 stars all the way! read more

Hmm. Came in for dinner, wanting to support new chef spaces here in town. Glad we tried it, but don't think we'll be back. We tried three starters: the grilled sourdough with compound butter, spinach cakes, and tuna crudo, and the sea bass and rice entree. The grilled sourdough was pleasant, although the bread seemed a bit cheap. The compound butter was quite nice. The tuna Crudo was a generous portion, but flavor-wise a little bland, with no citrus or acid to perk it up. There was a pile of cilantro on the plate that didn't make much sense as an accompaniment. The spinach cakes were all right--think of a crabcake, basically, made of chopped spinach--but they were served with a chipotle aïoli poured over them that was very puzzling against the flavors of dill and garlic. The seabass was limp, served skin-on with mushy skin, on a big bowl of rice with huge chunks of sautéed bell pepper and big discs of raw radish, which also did not seem to make any sense with this dish at all. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and it feels like there is potential here-- but some real focus is needed to bring it up. read more

Being in a party of 4 girls coming from high tea, we were dressed in elegant dresses, first comment was asking if we were coming from church, followed by eye flutters, short "okay" with an upward inflation to a joke about the day, an impatient comment about hurrying up and trying the wine while we were talking, asked for water when we were out, were left to pour the rest of our wine, didn't ask how the food was all the while was attentive to the table behind us, the cherry on top comment was when we were discussing the bill at the end, he was hovering at the table behind ours, then when we were ready, we asked to split the bill into 2, my portion on mine and the rest on another card, he then said "this isn't like a drive through, we can't do it that way" so I asked him to explain his comment, cause it was passive agressive and rude. After he wasnt able to becuase he wasnt expecting me to call out his rude comment, I had to then break it down and specify what I had ordered, he then sold "okayyyy....so how much, cause we don't itemize?" I had to again express for him to specify how they do it cause he has still yet to explain where his attitude is coming from and explain how they do their check splits, from my understanding it just felt like he wanted to play dumb and make me to the math, one I did he was like "ohh, okay" should have asked for the manager but we paid and left, I hasnt had this experience before being a returning customer, but he needs an attitude adjustment as his attitude was completely out of pocket. Do better Manuel, you alone got your place of work a 1 star. The rest of the staff was kind, facility beautiful and food and wine was good. This restaurant is not reflected in the 1 star.

This bar is tucked inside Vroman's Bookstore (already one of the most charming and iconic bookstores in the area) so the entire experience feels like stepping into a warm, literary universe. You can browse for a new book, take in the bookstore's atmosphere, and then walk straight into the bar. Honestly, it's the perfect outing. What makes 1894 truly special is how intentionally it celebrates literature. Everything in the bar pays homage to the bookstore. The drink menu is full of clever, book-inspired names. You'll find cocktails like Pride and PearJudice Pride, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and other fun literary twists. Every drink feels like a little wink to readers, writers, and book lovers, and it adds such a unique charm to the experience. The vibe is super quaint and warm, dim lighting, and a creative atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The wine is on the pricier side ($19-$21 per glass), but the quality delivers. Customer service was excellent. One of the bartenders spent time chatting with us. He pointed out a chalk artwork behind the bar a dramatic portrait he drew himself featuring expressive, literary-style faces, like Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, etc. It fits perfectly with the creative, bookish aesthetic of the bar. If you're into books, wine, and unique experiences, 1894 is a spot you absolutely can't miss. Perfect for a date, a solo unwind-with-a-book moment, or a fun night with friends who appreciate a good story and a great drink.

We sat in the dining room and it was comfortable... next time I would probably sit outside for a different scenery. Service was great. I have no complaints about that! It was efficient. The guy was polite and was around when we needed him. The food was delicious, but I really didn't think it was that innovative and thought it was a little bit on the expensive side for what it was (except for the cinnamon roll it was priced accordingly and so good hot!). The BLT was very average and I thought the bacon seemed a little old, good fries, but again it's not anything special. I expected more with the quiche pot pie, but it was really delicious and the endive salad was a nice accompaniment. We really enjoyed the shrimp Louie salad--very fresh and appreciated it was not doused in dressing. I had the garden Siesta cocktail and my friend had one of the spritz-- as a lightweight it did not do anything to me hahaha... All in all a nice leisurely meal, but the flavors and execution was not super memorable for the price point. No h8 though--would go again!

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too.

I liked the set menu, it was good for the price and I would like to return to try their other lunch menu items, whether it would be a set menu or a la carte.
