I've been to both the Downtown and Pasadena locations and they are both quite an experience. The bottomless tapas and drinks are completely worth the price and give you a regret free opportunity to try something new. The service has always been great too. The attentiveness of servers always means a lot when you're enjoying a bottomless experience because they're usually timed. The servers we had at both locations were great at visiting us regularly to take our orders and keep the experience going. Lastly the food is always prepared and plated well and very flavorful. read more

Went for happy hour but the prices were not happy hour prices. They had a photographer who was taking pics of customers with a DSLR and trying to sell the pics to us. Like an amusement park. Had fun though. read more

Le Grand - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

My friends and I made a reservation here Saturday evening and were able to be seated quickly. The hostess has some room to improve on her social skills, but our waiter, Amir, made up for it! He was so friendly, sweet, and funny! Amir took our drink orders and we all planned on the unlimited tapas experience. Drinks took a bit to get to us from the bar but food came out at lightning speed! Overall we really loved the various dishes but my favorites were the meatballs, brussels sprouts, wings, and tacos. My friends also liked the edamame, corn, and fries. Great fun overall but a bit pricey for what you are getting. Aside from that, fun 90s/00s dance music was played and the restaurant was decorated nicely with dark lighting. Fun vibes :) read more

Le Grand - Various tapas plates! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

Still loving Le Grand for an amazing 5 for $25 menu with great small plate options! (After 5 visits now.) They made a few changes, but still the best value in town for both food and drinks. The small plates are not very small, so 5 really fill me to the brim. They are so reasonably priced, that they are a deal even ordered individually. The cocktail variety has been fun. The ambiance is beautiful! The bar has a very social vibe. And the servers are excellent. My favorites are the Hummus Plate, due to the crunchy little pita triangles and the fresh lemony hummus w/kalamata olives, and the Caesar Salad with its creamy anchovy dressing! The wild mushroom and the pesto raviolis were also delicious! Meatballs are tender and flavorful. My only issue has been seating. Definitely get a reservation if you're not dining at the bar! We came in very early (4ish?) on a Saturday (drove 45 minutes just to introduce my parents to the restaurant) and even though the very large restaurant and patio were both quite empty at that time, without a reservation they would not seat our party of 3 anywhere inside or out, except the bar. My parents are 78, so the bar is not the most comfortable for them (though that has always been where I sat, so didn't know they were so strict about reservations). read more

I returned to Le Grand in Pasadena for another delicious dinner. Since my last visit, they have changed their food menu and they now have 5 tapas for $25 all day. Fantastic move! I love it! I didn't have reservations so I sat at the bar instead. I was able to order food and drinks from there. It saved me some wait time. Yay! My 1st 5 tapas were truffle arancini, Hawaiian sando, chicken tacos, cauliflower steak, and pesto ravioli. I later added my 2nd 5 tapas... chicken wings, elote corn, meatballs, penne bianca, and chicken parmesan. I also got the unlimited mocktails. Yeah, I went all out that night and treated myself a wonderful and delicious meal LOL. Every tapa was very tasty. If I was to pick my top 3, it would be the cauliflower steak, truffle arancini, and pesto ravioli. If I had to choose my least 2, it would be penne bianca and chicken parmesan. There is a list of premium tapas for $3 more per tapa. For example, if you got 5 premium tapas, it would be $25 plus $15 (5 tapas x $3) totaling $40 plus tax and tip. Hope this makes sense. The best part is that you may take what's remaining to-go. Compared to the unlimited dining experience, you have to eat it all here... no take home. I prefer the former than the latter any day. Since I was at the bar, my server was the bartender. All the bartenders were very friendly and nice. Service was all around amazing. Btw, they all share the tips at the bar which is great. All in all, I had a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely return to get some more tasty tapas and delightful mocktails in a romantic ambiance. Thank you Le Grand Pasadena! P.S. If you want a table, it's best to make reservations. Otherwise, you may wait at the bar until a table is available or just sit at the bar. read more

My new favorite place for group dinners and holiday parties. I have been there 3 times in two weeks and almost tried every single item on the menu! The unlimited tapas dinner for $49 was a good deal for a group of friends. We decided to share everything and ordered three of the items that we liked. The mussel was the most popular item; we ordered a total of 10 plates. The second most popular item was the expresso rib, followed by the tuna tataki and elote corn. For the $25 lunch for 5 items, the munu selection is smaller than the dinner menu, mussels, rib and tuna are premium items and need to ordered with additional $3. The $49 unlimited option would be a better deal in that case! One thing we noticed is the group ordering system. The server did not keep track of each guest's five items, and the food came in random order. You had to look for the items that you ordered. The $27 unlimited cocktail package included pretty drinks that were very light and filled with crushed ice. We had five unlimited cocktail packages with dinner and had to wait a long while for our drink orders. Overall, it is a fun place to have group gatherings or happy hours. 2 hours FREE parking validation at check out. read more

Parking is inside by the building that validates for two hours. Good to know since last time I had to find street parking. Festive entrance with the Christmas theme and love the open space entry. Leo was the host at hand and made sure my folks and I had a pleasant tapas. We ordered the 25$ tapas and everything came out decent. I would say the ribs and the chicken wings are salty so be wary of that. Chicken was dry on the chicken Parmesan but the pasta was delicious. Dessert was amazing. Can't say no to dessert. Great overall and will come to try the entrees read more

Le Grand is a brand new restaurant with a unique concept, all-you-can-eat small plates. They serve dinner and brunch that way. I tried them at Happy Hour because you can get 5 small plates for $25 and I thought it would be a way to try their menu without fully committing to the more luxurious AYCE pricing. Three of us dined and we ended up order 3 of the HH deal. In other words, 15 of the small places for $75. This was an excellent way to canvas the menu and we certainly got a taste of what we liked. Our favorites were: - Braised Beef on Mash - great portion, tender beef, good sauce - Wild Mushroom ravioli - espresso ribs - very tender, big portion - salmon fritto Fine: anything fried: arancini, onion rings most of their pastas: gnocchi in vodka sauce kachapuri - big and bready chicken parm Skip: Cesar salad Tuna tataki - small portion, kind of salty b/c overdressed Chorizo and mussels - small Chicken Tikka Masala - more thai style with coconut milk. We also ordered this AYC Drink mocktail option which was fun. We were able to try to hibiscus-ade, sparkling cucumber, and pineapple and coconut cream. The bar is slow so 3 drinks were the max I was able to order in the time we were there. if I had gotten 1-2 more, it would have felt like a better value. read more

Soooo came here for my mom's friend bday and it was a TERRIBLE experience. First I would start off with the valet service that was insane and crazy for the price after 2 hour limit. If you go over that time they will charge $1.50 fit every two mins. Ok so the service was not good ...our water wss not patient and vane off as rude. Since they gave all you can eat for $49.99. And if you have a party everyone has to be on the same offer for a la carte or buffet. Since everyone requested a La carte that is what we all preferred. I did not eat because the menu was not to my liking. They also have all you can drink between $25. 00 -$27.000 -Marshay D So I decided to just get wine,... However, it was very nice with decor and spacious! We were in the private room for two hours, which can be longer and not apply a strict rule for it. But anyways, what TOPS the cake is when the valet guys took my sister keys home and she had to wait for the longest. I feel that this is very tacky and unprofessional , which they should have never done. They shower no empathy either. This definitely ruined the night. However, I am not sure I will come back here! I think it needs a lot of improvement and better deals or other types of deals, better customer service and valet services. -Marshay - read more

I decided to come here for their happy hour menu, which offers 5 items for $25. They also have unlimited tapas for $49.99--a good deal if you're hungry! Some of the tapas can be shared, like the pasta dishes. My favorites included the smash sliders, which came with one slider, the cheese & charcuterie, and the gnocchi. The interior was very aesthetic. There's paid street parking read more

Le Grand - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stopped by for brunch a few weeks ago and to our surprise they had an all you can eat for 49.99 a person. Now everyone at the table does have to chose that same menu if one person wants it. Worth it though especially with if you're having bottomless mimosas. We tried several items like meatballs, salad,, chicken and waffles, ribs. They have quiet a few items to try from. Zena was our waitress and she was sweet as could be. Very informative! Parking was easy you can valet we arrive for our reservation early and our party was not all there and couldn't be seated but if we were we would've been escóteles to our table right away. Over all I enjoyed it and would be back to enjoy this menu. See you all soon, Thank you! read more

Was excited to try this place but was sorely disappointed after. Although you're getting "unlimited" tapas with the $49/pp option, it felt wasteful as most of the food was subpar and almost inedible. We had a party of 4 and were allowed to order 12 items (3 per person) at a time for the table, trying almost everything on the hodge podge menu. The only items I sort of enjoyed were the sliders, wild mushroom ravioli, and the fried items. Unlimited drinks options are additional and not included with the $49 price. The restaurant is located where Del Frisco's used to be off Lake. Park on the streets nearby or valet at the restaurant. Although we had a reservation and the restaurant was quite empty, the host didn't seat us until our entire party arrived. There is a young man that goes around and takes cheesy photos of your table and then haggles you to buy them as if you're on a cruise, which was I thought was bizarre. For a Thursday evening, the vibe was somewhat drab. The service was lackluster and to be honest, the whole dining experience was underwhelming. Glad I tried it, but definitely not a place where you'd go back often or even go back at all. read more

I was really excited to try the unlimited tasting experience after seeing many viral videos but it unfortunately did not live up to it's expectations. The interior feels like a fine dining experience, and on a Friday night the restaurant was packed. With a large group we were seated in a room at the back of the restaurant. Everybody was really skeptical about the service due to poor reviews but our server Monse was extremely attentive and helpful. She made sure to explain the menu & check in on us consistently. I would give 5 stars for her service alone! The food was no more than mediocre. For a meal that costs $50 per person, a majority of the items served to us were a miss. There were some notable items but nothing was good enough to justify the price point of this meal. To start with the good, the ribs were tender and flavorful, however they were served with a giant scoop of coleslaw that was not good. Tuna tataki was nice and fresh. Onion rings & buffalo wings were also decent but I would hope those are items that you cannot mess up. Cheese boat was something different but it was a nice fresh cheesy bread with egg in it. The gnocchi tasted worse than frozen gnocchi, mushy and flavorless. Beef brisket was served with the smallest amount of beef on a bed of bland mashed potatoes. Arrabiata shrimp had overcooked gummy shrimp, and watery spaghetti. A friend ordered the hummus & falafel and it was practically inedible. And somehow even the caesar salad was said to be a miss. The elote and mussels were both sold out by the time we sat which was unfortunate since most of us wanted to try those items. I think this is a good concept but the quality of the food could be better for its price point. It was nice to experience once but I do not see myself coming back or recommending this to anybody else. read more

I habe been wanting to make it to the Le Grand in DTLA so you can only imagine when I found out there is a Le Grand closer to me in Pasadena. They have a happy hour 5 items for $25, so we ordered two. We walked into the gorgeous restaurant. It's perfect for a date or to enjoy with the family. FYI, there is also a photographer going around. The service was amazing, the food just kept coming non stop. What we ordered: 1. Tuna tataki 2. Chorizo mussels 3. Chicken tikka masala 4. Expresso pork ribs 5. Fettuccine chicken Alfredo 6. Gnocchi allá vodka 7. Red wine braised beef brisket 8. Adjarian khachapuri 9. Elote street corn 10. Steak cut onion rings My favorite was the tuna tataki lightly seared, sesame crusted, ponzu sauce, citrus, scallions and rice chia! Check it out and cheers! read more

Wow! Another fantastic restaurant on Lake with free validated parking in their lot in the back (entrance from Lake Ave). They have good value happy hour with any 5 dishes for $25, BEER $5, WINE $7, COCKTAILS $7. They also offer AYCE and AYCD for 2 hours at reasonable prices. AVAILABLE EVERYDAY UNLIMITED FOOD $49 UNLIMITED BRUNCH $45 UNLIMITED COCKTAILS $27 Nice ambiance with booth seating, bar seating, large party seating, and patio seating. Le Grand also has good service, tasty food, and fun cocktails (even the AYCD ones). I love the Tarragon Chicken Khachapuri (grilled chicken, tarragon, mint and cheese) bread, fettuccini chicken Alfredo, and wild mushroom ravioli. For drinks, if you like a smokey flavor, you must try the holy smoke for some table side fun. I also recommend the Paradise for a Hawaiian vibe and Disco Bomb for a souvenir. Highly recommend this new addition to Pasadena. Perfect for special events, good time with friends, and date night. read more

Le Grand is one of the newest restaurants in Pasadena, on Lake St. to be precise. At the time of this review, 9/10/24, they've been around for about 2.5 weeks. It's a nicely decorated, dimly lit space with a nice vibe and lounge/ house music playing overhead. The volume is perfect, not too loud so conversations can still be heard, but loud enough to enjoy the tunes. This is somewhat of a new concept. It's all you can order for a set price, and everything is served tapas style, in smaller portions. Their menu covers a nice variety of bites from lamb meatballs to tuna, pasta, ribs and even a Georgian Khachapuri. There were 3 of us and we went in ready to experiment. Most of the dishes were delicious. A couple are a pass, but overall, a fantastic dining experience. Mushroom Truffle Arancini: rich, cheesy and tasty start. Elite Street Corn: creamy and sweet corn, on par with what it should taste like Citrus Salad: cuts through the rich cheesy tapas. Light and refreshing, like a palate cleanser. Tarragon Chicken Khachapuri: Hot flaky bread with a rich, cheesy center. So delicious. Could use a pinch of salt and little more chicken but very good nonetheless. Chorizo Mussels: Came in a nice broth. The garlic toast were prefect for dipping, otherwise on the harder side. Tuna Tataki: Light, slightly citrusy and good. Salmon Fritto: Not bad, but it wasn't the most memorable dish of the evening. Cauliflower Steak: Hard pass on this. It's a weird combination of colors, texture and taste. The sweet sauce really didn't help. Chicken Tikka Masala: Tastes nothing like the actual Indian dish. Too mild and very little spices usually found in Indian cuisine. Pass. Lamb Meatballs: hearty, so soft and a nice sauce. They were so tender, it's almost as if soft tofu were mixed in. Pretty good still. Espresso Pork Ribs: Lean easy off the bone ribs (3) but no detectable flavor of espresso. Not bad. Smashed Slider: it's essentially a small burger with sweet onions. Nothing outstanding. Arrabiata Shrimp: perfectly cooked with al dente pasta and spicy sauce. So good. Gnocchi alla Vodka: Also cooked al dente and a nice sauce. Most of the dishes come with cheese, so let the server know if you prefer orders without. Service: Excellent! Our server, Glenn was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, personable and efficient. The hostess was very nice and I believe the owner (?) even came by to greet us. Le Grand is a fun place for date night or as a group. It's always fun to try many different dishes in smaller portions. I really enjoyed the nice ambiance, great service and the various dishes. read more

We celebrated a friend's birthday here in a group of 10. There is a photographer that takes pictures of your party, comes back later with some printed in a frame with an option to buy. It was a little strange but kind of funny. We opted for the AYCE and added the unlimited cocktail/ option. Our server was unfriendly from the start and forgot a lot of orders at numerous times but we still had a good time. The food was okay, just wish they had a few better options for both food and drinks. The Cheese & Charcuterie came out with no cheese. We told the server and she said she'd tell the kitchen but we never received it. A lot of our orders didn't make it out and we had to ask repeatedly. We were stuffed but not really satisfied so my friend and I wanted to split the cookies and cream milkshake. I hate when people say something is the worst they've ever had, but this was literally the worst milkshake I've ever had, or actually the only bad one ever. It tastes like less than a scoop of ice cream blended with a ton of ice. It was so icy and not creamy at all :(We wanted to say something to the server but she was so grumpy the whole night we didn't even want to bother. There is valet parking which we opted for. Overall good for an experience or birthday but I wouldn't return. read more

Food is probably closer to a 3.5 for me but the novel idea of all you can eat tapas and nice service rounds this to a 4 for me. The food wasn't bad, but I wasn't super impressed. I actually didn't go for the unlimited option and went with the happy hour for the two of us. The amount was more than enough across 10 dishes (5 dishes per person for happy hour). Pretty good deal at $25/pp. Top items we tried: + Street corn was flavorful although it comes on the cob and becomes messy to eat with hands. + The couscous that came with the salmon was very flavorful and I like they added some mint leaves to the dish for a unique flavor. + Brisket was super tender. Note on parking: They give validation for the lot next to them for 2 hours but it gets a little easy to miss driving around this building. Enter in from Lake from the Colorado side (drive up to the stanchion pole and it automatically lets you in to the public entrance). I saw some people were unable to get in from Hudson Ave because the gates closed down after 7pm (but you can exit from inside the lot as they are electronically raised once you put in your ticket). read more

Amazing customer service when we walked in and throughout the dining experience. I made a reservation on OpenTable because I was afraid of it being busy during happy hour. It wasn't that bad when we visited and there is a parking structure nearby. I recommend finding free street parking so you save $ on the parking. The lighting and decor are really elegant and great place for hosting a birthday party or any formal celebration. We went for the Happy Hour special of 5 dishes for $25. I was stuffed by the 4th dish. Amazing dishes to try: the Adjarian Khachapuri and Tarragon Chicken Khachapuri were a solid choice for sure but very carb heavy though. Other dishes were the Espresso Pork Ribs and Red Wine Braised Beef Brisket because they were tender and succulent. Ehhhhhhh dish(es): the Chicken Tikka Masala was lacking of flavor and was disappointing after trying the other dishes. The Tuna Tataki was sliced VERY VERY thinly and not worth wasting your choice to get it, unless you get the unlimited dinging experience ($49.99). read more

Le Grande just opened up in Pasadena, and I was excited to check it out, especially since they offer unlimited tapas. Who doesn't love that? I got there around 5:30 PM and saw they had a happy hour deal--5 tapas for $25. We went for that instead since one of my friends wasn't feeling the unlimited option. I chose: - Tarragon Chicken Khachapuri - Smashed Slider - Wild Mushroom Ravioli - Lamb Meatballs - Tuna Tataki Honestly, I'm glad we didn't go for unlimited because none of the dishes were that great. Most of the food was just okay and pretty salty. Definitely skip the tuna tataki--it was dry and overcooked. The best dish was the slider, but even after the 5 tapas, I was still hungry and ended up eating elsewhere afterward. The atmosphere is nice, but the food didn't match up. It might be a decent spot for drinks, but since I don't drink, I'm basing this on the food and service. Our waiter wasn't that knowledgeable about the menu, and what really annoyed me was this guy constantly trying to take our photos and then sell them to us. It felt like being at an amusement park. Overall, not rushing back anytime soon. read more

Out of the three dishes I've tried tonight, the arancini was probably my favorite. The food in general was okay, nothing too crazy. The steak frites were suppose to come with parmesan fries and a pepper sauce but tasted like regular fries with a flavorless sauce. I was also expecting the brussel sprouts to be roasted whole because I saw a picture on Yelp of roasted brussel sprouts, but it came out as a salad. The salad was also okay, but the dressing was so sour. I couldn't eat it alone and had to pair it with my steak. However, my favorite dish, the arancini was crispy and the sauce with it was really yummy. Overall, my experience was okay but nothing special. read more

Came here for dinner as we were celebrating our friends birthday. The restaurant is new but we've seen reviews and social media posts from the DTLA location so we were excited this place opened up. There is validated parking for 2 hours in the back lot. The good - Its truly AYCE and the food is made fresh. So it does take a bit of time for the food to come but thats to be expected since its not pre-cooked like a buffet. Most of the dishes we had actually tasted good. The bad - Service was horrendously slow. We sat and waited like 15min before we had to flag someone down that we were ready to order. We had like 5 different waitress/waiters take our orders because our table waiter was MIA. They missed a bunch of dishes that we ordered. The drinks took forever to come and we only ordered beer. The manager mentioned that he was going to bring "something" as we were celebrating a birthday but never came. Overall - food is okay but the service NEEDS to improve. read more

the besttttt unlimited drinks deal! I was having a girls weekend & my friend picked this spot for us because of the $27 unlimited drinks. Honestly so worth it & the drinks were so good. On top of that their Fettuccine Alfredo was bombbbb. I typically don't order it anymore since they all started to taste the same or bland but the fettuccine here is worth it. The meatballs were also a great start to our dinner. Our server Amir was also amazing! He was so helpful & on top of everything. I let him pick like two of my drinks for me too and they were perfect. Their sangria (not pictured) was probably my favorite of the night. Honestly the perfect spot for a girls night and I can't wait to come back next time! read more

I really wanted to like le grand, since I passed it many times on lake and since the building and menu looked so good. I went a couple days ago and unfortunately it was a dissapointment. Our wait staff was unable to answer basic questions about the menu, and my chicken dish came out very dry, and the seating looked very worn in some areas. There recently used to be a 5 tapas for $25 special but apparently that ended. On the plus side, we were seated quickly without a reservation and the food came out fast and the bartenders seem nice and work with a full bar. read more

A must try for couples and friend a like. I enjoyed every dish tonight. The waitstaff and entire team were incredibly kind and accommodating. When the staff is happy, it's a good sign that the food will be great. And that was certainly the case here. The corn was so good!! I really enjoyed it!! With everything that has happened in the LA area, it's more important than ever to support local businesses, no matter their size. They need all the help they can get after the devastating fires. Despite these challenges, the staff remained in good spirits, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The cozy atmosphere makes this the perfect spot for a Tuesday night date. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I wanted to love this place, I really really did. The concept is really fun, American tapas at a good fixed price. 5 for $25 plates, unlimited cocktails for $27, it sounded so good! For value I'd give it 4.5 stars. For taste I think I'd even give it 4.5 stars. For service I'd unfortunately have to give it maybe a 2. We got there at 7:30 and were seated quickly. We put in our drink orders right away, then we didn't see our server again until 8pm when she brought our drinks and took our first round of food order. The food came out at a decent speed but there was easily 30 minutes in between seeing our waitress every time. A meal that would normally take an hour and a half took almost 3 hours because of how poor the service was. I'd like to add that our waitress Zena was so sweet and wonderful, and she was working her ass off. The restaurant was severely understaffed and this poor girl had 2 large parties of 10+ people (one was a private party in a separate room with like 15 people!) and several tables of 4 like ours. It's so unreasonable to expect one server to handle all of that on a Friday night, the large party alone should've had a dedicated server. Kudos to Zena for working as hard as she was! Shame on the restaurant for putting that much on one human! The drinks: I tried 2 cocktails, my friend tried 2 cocktails, and another friend did the unlimited mocktails. We felt the value was pretty good. The cocktails were small, so if you plan on drinking 2 or more the unlimited for $27 seems super worth it. $10 for unlimited cocktails is also a good value if your tummy can handle that much sugar. The food: most of what we ate was absolutely delicious. I was obsessed with the arancini and the gorgonzola pasta, I want an entire meal of just those! The meatballs were wonderful, the watermelon feta salad was refreshing, the cauliflower steak was really good. The portion for the brisket was too small, we were disappointed by that (not $5 worth of food). The $3 upgrade for the "premium" plates didn't seem worth it, we tried the mussels which were good but needed to come with bread for that delicious sauce, and the ribs were very tasty but such a tiny portion for $8. We wouldn't order any of the premium items again. Honestly probably won't come back due to the bad service. read more

The restaurant is very clean and I wish I had taken more pic of the interior and food because it's a mellow down to earth vibe. Def recommend going. read more

Highly recommend this hotspot in Pasadena. Great low-key, upscale ambience and service. The staff are very attentive and great at improvising to meet or exceeded expectations. We decided to do the unlimited tapas deal which enabled us to sample an array of their offerings, which was totally worth it. Our favorites were the watermelon salad, buffalo wings, and hummus. BIG shout out to Jenelle for single-handed running circles around the restaurant, taking care of all the tables, in and outside of the restaurant. The food runners and bussers helped her make a smooth dining experience possible. #TeamWork I ordered one of my favorite go-to drinks, a Vesper (think 007), though they didn't have Lillet, so RJ, the bartender, made a clever substitution that was delicious. He's an authentic mixologist who understands nuanced flavor profiles. #Cheers To the restaurant - please update the menu to specify that the BBQ ribs are pork, not beef. Also the music is WAY too loud. These were the only unpleasant issues we ran into. read more

Ambiance is nice. Interesting concept with the AYCE brunch for $45, 5 for $25, unlimited signature cocktails for $27 (must order the brunch or 2 of the 5 for $25), unlimited mocktails for $10, and unlimited beer/wine (including mimosas) for $25. My friend and I did the 5 for $25 but honestly the best things were the hummus, fries, and onion rings. The shrimp arrabiata (extra $3) was a bit too salty. Cocktails were great however! We had a wonderful server (Dina?). read more

3.0 stars for Le Grand. We were excited to try out this new restaurant as it looks very regal and fancy, but honestly the tapas experience was ultimately only alright for us. Food is not bad but pretty basic and unimpressive. Portions are definitely smaller and premium options cost an additional $3 per plate. I wish they upped the quality of the food and just charged a little more. read more

Came for some dinner for a pre-pre-Thanksgiving meal with my wife. We always love this location. This is our second time here and we have the honor to meet RJ. He was amazing, attentive and quick with our drinks and putting in our food order. The only downfall I will say is that I was not a fan of the three dollar up charge for some of our favorite dishes. After the first time we came, but I do understand more popular more pricey just please don't go up anymore lol read more

I've been to the DTLA location for dinner. I thought I'd give the 5 for $25 tapas deal. I came with some formers during the lunch hour. They only had one server, but that didn't impede the good service. We ordered some cocktails. One star off because the club soda was flat. All the tapas dishes were really good. Stand outs were the chicken sando, braised brisket, and the cauliflower. Keep in mind they're tapas so order plenty to try a variety. At first I was hesitant about food for such a deal. Overall, it did not disappoint. read more

Went for a holiday party and ordered from the 5 for $25. There was about 18 of us so a lot of different plates to share. Going in I thought the plates would be smaller but surprised to see they could be shared with one other person. Everything was pretty good except a few. The cauliflower soup had no flavor. The Cesar salad was too saucy. Service and ambiance was great. Nice place to go with a big group. read more

Pretty cool concept. You can get 5 small plates for $25 or select an unlimited for $49.99. Food was really good. The service was friendly and food came out fast but towards the end things took a while and some options ran out. Definitely a place to go with the family or friends. You know how much you are going to spend so no surprises. They also have unlimited drink options. Fairly priced, nice ambiance and location. read more

I went to this restaurant for my friend's birthday and had a horrible experience. I parked my car with valet and when I returned to retrieve my car they could not find my keys. They said they believed their worker who had gone on break had taken my keys with him. I spoke to the manager at the restaurant, a young male white man that whore glasses in regards to the complaint, and he ignored me and said he had no control of the valet parking even though that's the valet parking company they are using. I was so upset. I then talked to "Peter" the supervisor over the valet and he said he was trying to find the worker and retrieve my keys. At this point, I was beyond pissed and it had been over 45 minutes and I still did not have my car. I then decided to call the Pasadena Police Department and report my car stolen by the valet company. As the police were being dispatched en route to the restaurant they located my keys and gave me my car. I then stopped the police from coming to the restaurant. I would give this place a zero if I could. The food was not hot and it was not flavorful. The waiter was unfriendly and had a bad disposition as if he did not want to be at work. The restaurant is nice inside with beautiful green colors. I will not be returning to this restaurant again and I will be contacting corporate in regards to the bad experience I had at this restaurant. Note: They have a $49 special for all-you-can-eat every day and a special on alcoholic drinks for $27 daily. read more

Food was pretty good. Sat at the bar and was helped by RJ with nice service. The over all place had a smoothie vibe: for the 5 for 25 special. Chicken parm, brisket, hummus, mushroom ravioli and a brownie. The ravioli was the best of the bunch. Will be back to try another 5 very soon. read more

Amazing customer service, didn't catch our waitress name but she was full of energy, helpful with the menu, and gave pointers on what's good. Their menu for lunch is small plates basically good for everyone to share. Unlimited cocktails 27$ per person doesn't sound so bad. Ribs are 2 pieces good Burger slider good Cesar salad good Cheese & Charcuterie not bad French fries was good crispy Buffalo chicken wings was alright read more
