Another great visit to Stone today to try the newly released Stone Brewing x Pizza Port Brewing Co…read more First Slice IPA! The two bartenders were great and I enjoyed the beer so much, that I opted to get a 32 oz crowler of it to take home! Will have to remember to bring my glass growler next time to fill. We were also getting hungry and opted to order Howlin' Rays via Postmates to be delivered while we enjoyed other beers as we didn't want to leave! You can use the address above the front door entrance to add as a delivery address and don't forget to add "Suite 103" so the driver can find you. If you enjoy any of the beers you tried in the taproom, know that you can take a can of it home to enjoy!

Founded in 1996, Stone Brewing Co started out in a small warehouse in San Diego. Now, they have a…read moretap room & retail store in Pasadena next to the Del Mar Station. The place is spacious with indoor & outdoor seating and TVs to catch a game. The rotating taps feature year-round favorites, seasonal specials, and one-time releases in 5, 10, or 16 oz pours. Flights are available too. You can even purchase T-shirts, hats, glassware, dog treats & other gift items. They don't serve food but you can bring your own or pick up something from a visiting food truck or pop-up vendor. They have weekly events such as watch parties, trivia, live music, and also host a bi-weekly adoption event with Pasadena Humane on the patio, which is what brought me here. It really Is a cool tap room and a great spot to hang with friends or enjoy a cold one after getting off the train. The staff here were very friendly and brought out water for the doggies. *Underground parking lot $1 for 2 hours.

Visited this place for an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting and it was so fun!! My aunt has…read morebeen wanting to try this place for a while so it was a fun afternoon activity. For the tasting we had an option of three tastings which could be any combination of olive oil and/or balsamic vinegar. Feeling overwhelmed by the choices, the worker was extremely helpful in recommending combinations. One of my favorite combos was the blackberry balsamic vinegar and basil olive oil! The bread served with it was hot and had the perfect outer crisp. We saw many others enjoying a full meal there with wine and I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. You can also purchase bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to take home and you can refill the bottles for a discounted price.

Holy Saints is the kind of restaurant where you look at some of the combinations on the menu and…read morewonder how they're going to work together; then you try it, and it all makes sense. QUICK TAKE Get: Fish of the Day, Lamb, Moroccan-style Mushrooms Skip: Duck was our one miss Know: This is a good place for adventurous eaters who like sharing dishes and trying unexpected flavor combinations. Holy Saints does a nice job of making food feel creative without crossing over into "trying too hard." There are a lot of different influences running through the menu, and several dishes had us talking about the flavors and ingredients as much as the food itself. What we tried: Moroccan-style Mushrooms - A great example of what Holy Saints does well. Earthy, savory mushrooms with contrasting textures from the nuts, thinly sliced radish, herbs and crispy elements on top. There was a lot happening on the plate, but it all worked together. Definitely one to share. Fish of the Day - One of the highlights of the meal and something I would absolutely order again. The fish came over rice in a deeply flavored sauce with peppers, herbs and fresh vegetables. Colorful, comforting and much more interesting than the standard fish-and-vegetables preparation you see at a lot of restaurants. Lamb - Another winner. Rich, hearty and well seasoned, with the sauce pulling everything together. If you're visiting for the first time and like lamb, this would be high on my list. Duck - Good flavor, but it seemed like the duck sauce could have benefited from a little more time to rest before being sliced and served. We joked that we should have brought a bag, taken it home and eaten it as leftovers instead. Sometimes duck might just need a night to think about what it did. What I liked most about Holy Saints is that the food wasn't boring. The kitchen takes familiar ingredients and puts them together in ways you probably wouldn't think of yourself, which makes it a fun restaurant for ordering several things and sharing around the table.

Great cozy, American small plates spot in Pasadena. Parking around is pretty simple with structures…read moreall around and pretty easy to make a reservation for a Saturday. Dishes tried: - Sourdough bread and bbq butter, solid for a bread dish, butter is definitely unique, reminded me of Lay's BBQ chips in a good way - Grandma's Risotto w/ prosciutto, okay for me? Prosciutto was a supplement here and needs it imo for that oomph, otherwise a fine risotto dish but would pass unless it speaks to you - Barnyard Bolognese - a bit underwhelming to start, just too one-note for me, but it eventually grew on me and would get it again if I wanted a rich pasta - Duck Magret Au Poivre - easily my favorite dish here and what I would come back for and recommend for people, tender duck with the right amount of fat and a great sauce. Fries are a bit thicker than I would like, but still enjoyed it. - Seasonal apple pie - more of a danish if I had to describe it to someone, but nice texture and more importantly, not too sweet!

Loved it! Lunch and shopping all in one place!…read more Located on Green Street. It's a shady walk to the resto and you can sit inside or outside. It was too hot and humid to sit outside. There was so many options and only limited belly room. We ordered: Tinned fish board Cheese board Cornbread eclair - OMG!

Enjoy!

Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5…read moreService: 1/5 I've been wanting to come to Agnes for years, so when my fiancé booked it for our anniversary I was very excited- but the experience left me disappointed. Our waiter was incredibly passive and at times it felt like we were being completely ignored. He would attend to tables around us but never checked in with us, had what seemed like a limited knowledge of the menu, and offered a half assed apology at the end of the night. The table next to us was clearly someone of importance, because they kept getting "gifted" foods, cheeses, drinks, etc. - which is fine, but only magnified our poor service. We also saw our food and beverages as well as other tables food and beverages be delivered to the wrong tables. My fiances sorbet was given to the special table next to us, but they had already had their dessert, and so the wait staff left with it and a minute later delivered it to our table melted. There was one staff member that was wonderful, and it seemed like he was a busboy who was filling in for our waiter (sorry I did not get his name) but he was very kind, personable, and would be the reason we come back, aside from the great food. There was also no acknowledgement of the special occasion we were celebrating, which is a minor thing but at other restaurants it's usually never missed and helps make for a nice experience especially when we mark that we are here celebrating an anniversary. All in all it was a disappointing experience. We may return for the food in the future, because it was excellent, but the service needs to be worked on.

Waiter Manuel. This…read moreis a review reflected on you, solely. Being kind is the moral of the story, from the beginning you were passive agressive with your comments and tone. 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.

What an absolute experience to witness my beautiful Mexico win their last World Cup qualification…read morematch! I would like to start this review by saying that this place was absolutely PACKED but the staff did such a great job to make sure we were well attended and keep the energy up with the match going on....hats off to them! Our buddies were able to secure a spot in the outside patio area to view the game. They offer QR code menus where you can pay and order with a table number connected to your table. This makes ordering so much easier, especially for such busy days like World Cup game days. I ordered the Carne Asada tacos, so delicious and had a nice little smoky taste. My husband ordered buffalo wings, fish and chips, and onion rings; he loved everything. Our first time trying this place located in Pasadena and it definitely won't be our last, thank you again, staff for such an amazing experience!!!
