    2/1/26 Key lime pie
    Jennifer W.

    2/1/26 My coworkers & I met up for dinner tonight to celebrate one of near & dear work mate, who has recently retired. This steakhouse serves up delicious & quality food, semi, upscale ambiance & attentive service. Our reservation was for 5:30 & we were promptly seated at a comfortable large booth. Drinks were ordered & warm table bread was brought out with butter. I read mixed reviews for the onion soup but I decided to keep an open mind about it because honestly, I don't think I've ever had onion soup, ever. My colleagues ordered scallops for appetizers which I skipped. I'm not big on steak so ordered fish & chips. Everyone ordered some type of steak. Our server was friendly & accommodating. My onion soup arrived & it was absolutely delicious. I would've preferred it bubbling hot but it was fine--Perfectly savory & a tiny bit sweet from the onions. Our dishes were brought in almost instantaneously. Everyone clamored at how everything tasted delicious & savory good. I tasted the creamed spinach but it was way too rich for my taste. For dessert, we ordered 4 different ones to try: bread pudding, cheesecake, crème brûlée & key lime pie. You can really discern the bourbon taste on the sauce for the bread pudding. My favorite was the crème brûlée (crunchy sugar topping, smooth & creamy crème). The cheesecake was pretty good with blueberries. The key lime pie tasted a bit cloyingly sweet with a bit of tang. Overall, a good time was experienced at this restaurant with tasteful decor, mindful service & of course, enjoyable fare.

    Sat on the heated patio with a fire place on a cool night - worked out great! Reservations are not taken but waited less than 30 min. Not a lot of standing room but a few places to sit. Out server "Bobby" was excellent ! And the food never disappoints. Parking is challenging but they do offer Valet. Only open for dinner and they make the most wonderful cocktails !

    It went exceptionally well. We were on that side of town and my Lady said how about we drop in at Taylor's in La Canada Flintridge. I thought yes it was on the way home and we always felt so comfortable there. Also the drinks are a generous pour and we like passing by the tidy bar and quiet patrons chatting away the evening. Now I do love bars. The freindly place that allows one to quench their thirst And allows one to also feel a warm feeling of enjoying the ambience in a cozy area of the bar with people who live in the town as well as people coming from their own town to enjoy this bar it's ambience and the quiet hum of people chatting softly awaiting the real reason they have arrived at this wonderful restaurant , the food. But I must first talk of the two month renovation of the main dinning room. The booths against the walls are still the same warm, red as red can be soft classy leather. Servers are the same crew and some new faces like Bobby who took well care of us all evening. I have seen him before and he once again handled himself well with his freindly service. Before I sat down I looked at the wall behind us with several painted scenes of the restaurant and its fabulous areas surrounding La Canada. The woman has painted the scene in muted colors of excellence in just two months. The wall on the other side maintained its place in Taylor's history with wonderful scenes of the American West. The beautiful glass tapestry overhead in the middle of the room also helped to tie the old and the new overall look as showcasing a comfy historical restaurant and bar, so the main thing about Taylor's is their consistency. Always serving excellent food in such a comfortable restaurant and bar. I will display the vast array of photos as I try to do each time I write a review . I do know that the overall pleasure of visiting this place is astounding and consistent.

    I'm so happy certain yelp event free loaders and crashers never come here cause 1) taylors does not need yelp marketing evenrs so no free dinners for posers and 2) the above (you know who you are stalker) can't afford it. 10/10 every aspect of this restaurant and the staff is always consistently amazing. By the way, I am so obsessed with the patio lately. The amazing breeze and fantastic service keeps bringing me back every week!

    Filet with crab and asparagus
    Patrick M.

    Gave Taylor's steakhouse a try, since it's been a staple in the area for quite a while. It was an overall good meal, but probably not somewhere that I would come to that often. The good: - I liked the old school Steakhouse atmosphere. It's what one would expect from a traditional steakhouse. - The food was really good. Steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We both had the filet with crab that was the Saturday night special, and enjoyed it. - Prices are very reasonable for a steakhouse. Specials were a good value, and the wine list had some reasonable prices. Improvement areas: - Service was fine, but it was nothing special. Our server was not very personable. For some reason, I felt as though she was looking at us like we were much younger than we are. I can't really put my finger on it though. It was almost like we were a nuisance that we had to be served. A really weird thing happened at the end of the meal. The pen must have dropped on the floor when the bill arrived. When she came to pick the bill up, she asked us if we had the pen. I looked around, and didn't see it, but i felt like she wanted me to get under the table to search. Why even ask the customer that? - I would think there would be complementary bread. We were asked if we wanted bread for the table, but then they charge $3 for it. Not expensive at all, but I also didn't enjoy the sour dough bread very much. For $3, why not just make it free and increase menu prices by $.50? Overall, it was a 4 star meal that could have some improvement opportunities. Maybe i'll go back to try a burger and beer at the bar?

    TAYLOR'S DINNER SALAD
    Kia A.

    5/5 because the steak is soft, fresh, and thick, and the sauce just made it perfect! But to be honest, my husband and I have learned that we would always want our steak with crust and so we will need to stick with our usual! But I am glad that we tried it! I had the Prime Rib Dinner Cut with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, dinner salad, and a sundae for dessert. My husband had the Prime Rib Taylor's Cut with sautéed mushrooms. We also got escargot and jumbo bacon-wrapped scallops, both were savory and tasted buttery enough. Additionally, the reason why I'd give it a 5, for our server, Mr. Mario, is accommodating, knowledgeable about the food, and makes sure that he attends to his guests promptly. Ambiance is intimate, the bathroom is clean, while parking may be a challenge when it's busy. P.S. I just wanted to share that the bread wasn't warm and the butter was still frozen like it was just taken out of the fridge. It would be ideal if both are warm enough so it would be easy to spread out the butter across the bread.

    Always good quality and service and hefty drinks Jose & Jesse are the best at bar. steaks: anything with mushroom bordelaise is great...skirt steak is great too and they'll have it throughout the week just ask

    Medium-rare Prime Rib (3 course meal cut), creamed spinach, and mashed potato
    Emily E.

    Reserved the wine room for a dinner experience for our first time at Taylor's and we had a great experience! We opted for the three course dining experience with salad of your choice, prime rib (with cream spinach and mashed potato sides, creamy horseradish sauce, and au jus), and a vanilla hot fudge sundae to finish off. It was spectacular. The Moscow mule was a great add on to the meal. Our group had our own secluded spot in the wine room (with early booking) and felt like the staff was always making sure we were satisfied. All the staff who took care of us were friendly and the ambiance is a slightly more upscaled vibe. The restaurant offers complimentary valet parking, although there is a small parking lot as well in the back shared with other neighboring restaurants/gym. I would highly recommend this prime rib course, and will be back to try other items on the menu!

    Daily Dinner Specials
    Michael G.

    The first thing you notice when you walk in is the great old school steak house vibe. There are paintings of the surrounding LA area on the wall to make it look like you are looking out of a window. The service was great. We were quickly seated, got drinks and some warm and soft sourdough bread. One of the specials was the rack of lamb with a mint sauce. This dish was amazing. Perfectly cooked and tender meat with an amazing flavor. I also tried the bone in ribeye and it was ok. The ribeye was cooked to order, medium, and came out as expected. It was just lacking a little flavor. The vegetable sides I ordered, asparagus and mixed veggies, were just basic steamed veggies. For dessert I had the key lime pie and it was great. Taylor's is on the pricier side so I expected the steak to be great but it was just good. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend the rack of lamb!

    Prime rib
    Peter H.

    Taylor's serves delicious prime rib in a generous cut that is perfect for hungry guests. The au jus is warm and makes the best accompaniment to that hand carved medium rare prime rib. I like to dip slices in the Au Jus sauce boat instead of pouring it over and getting cold. Goes well with horseradish and a side of creamed corn.

Pairs well with their Happy Hour Prickly Pear Cider (in a can for $5). - Also, there's Habiscus Cider on draft, which is also sweet and more soda pop-like.

With the seemingly ever-changing landscape along Brand Blvd. in downtown Glendale, this establishment has been around since 2012 (which I believe was the first and only time I came here). Primarily known for its inventive craft cocktails and a killer whiskey selection, it was a nice place to sneak away into before or after your main event... or, maybe this could be the place to spend an entire evening.

After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we each placed our order at the bar, our drinks were delivered quickly while the food took mere minutes to arrive at the table. We had to approach the bar each time we ordered something, but any empty glasses and plates were collected at the table. Once we closed out our tabs, we were thanked for coming as we headed out into the night. Everything was chill and easy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I parked in the nearby original Glendale Galleria parking structure and simply walked over first to The Americana then to this place.

ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dark cavernous speakeasy-like place with open space, various tables and couches strewn about, and a large long somewhat decorative bar with an impressive whiskey selection displayed behind it. I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...

I was pleasantly surprised when I sent an email to the address on the website and received a reply with the password in a little over thirty minutes. After parking, we didn't have any problems finding the entrance even though it is not marked. Look for the big wood double doors and doorman standing in front. 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.

    10 1/4 is a hidden cocktail bar located underneath Freddie's 35er, a popular Dodgers bar. To get…read morehere, not only do you have to go to the back of The 35er and go down the stairs, you ignore the tiki bar in front of you and make an immediately right U-turn. You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16). This was my first time here and I would be interested in coming back and also check out the tiki bar too. This is a cool place to go as part of your bar hopping in Old Town Pasadena.

    Hidden beneath the 35er bar is a place that feels like it's waiting to be discovered. The entrance…read morealone sets the scene--you slip downstairs through a "secret" passage hidden inside a phone booth, and suddenly the familiar bar upstairs feels a world away. Down below, the atmosphere shifts completely: darker, intimate, mysterious, and just theatrical enough to feel like you've stumbled onto something you weren't necessarily supposed to find. Unfortunately, the secret was clearly out. The place was absolutely packed, and we couldn't secure a table. So our investigation ended prematurely--but like any good mystery, it left us wanting more. We'll absolutely return next time and see where the rabbit hole leads.
