The Royce in Pasadena (inside the Langham Hotel) really said: "Let's make this date night cinematic." We rolled in just ahead of the rain and were given a window seat. The sky was so clear we could literally see the Disneyland fireworks twinkling in the distance -- like the universe was trying to flex on us. Started with a mezcal old fashioned that immediately had me questioning whether I was falling in love with my drink or my boyfriend. Hard to say. For dinner: I went full ocean‑romance with oysters topped with that apple‑jalapeño magic -- honestly, if someone served that at a wedding, I'd propose to the appetizer. Followed it up with scallops that were so perfectly cooked I briefly considered writing them a love letter. The bf had the octopus appetizer and the sea bass, both of which he described as "really good," which in boyfriend‑speak means "exceptional." Only regret? We did not leave room for dessert. Tragic. Heartbreaking. Shakespearean levels of poor planning. But overall? The Royce gave us a night so sweet, romantic, and delicious that even the sky joined in with fireworks. 10/10 would go back -- and next time, I'm getting dessert even if I have to order it first. read more

My lovely wife took me here for my birthday and I was pretty amazed by the whole experience. Firstly, parking is valet only, originally $28 dollars but with validation from the restaurant, you get $10 off. You can pay via the link which has a fee or you can pay in cash by the register out front of the hotel with no fee. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. It's designated within the high class hotel of The Langham Hotel with a loungelike setting & a garden view for some seats. The ambiance is stunning, very minimal lighting but uses the natural lighting by the window to create that romantic vibe. Absolutely stunning. Not to mention that the restaurant is very clean and tidy. We were seated on the aisle near the window and it was right before sunset which gave that romantic vibe. It was very green and clear out the window, loved the scenes overall. Service was great for the entire dine in experience. Staff checked on our table many times to refill waters, check on food, etc. Very delighted with the experience as a whole. Food was fantastic as well, we decided on 4 dishes, all came out within a decent time frame, incredible pacing by the staff and kitchen. - Complimentary Bread (Very tasty and fulfilling) -- Cape Grim Farm Tasmania, Grass fed Australia Ribeye ($72) -- Very happy with this choice of steak. Each bite was filled with flavor. Not too fatty and it's chewy but not to the point where you have to chew for a long time. It was perfectly cooked as well. Highly recommend. -- Lemon Crusted Salmon ($50) -- STAR OF THE SHOW! I've had my fair share of salmon in my life and I was very surprised by the way this was cooked. Each bite with the salmon skin was super crunchy on the outside and soft on the side. It's very well cooked and it wasn't salty at all. Very happy with this choice as it was presented very elegantly. Never thought I would dip hummus with salmon but the condiment works! Highly recommend. -- Loaded Baked Potato ($18) -- Presented as a open crested potato, I was very surprised by this baked potato. It maybe a basic potato dish but don't let it catch you off guard. The wall of the potato is very tasty. As a whole, it's filled wtih bacon crumbs and cheese fondue. Very delicious and pretty similar to mash potatoes. Loved it as a compliment to the rest of the dishes we ordered. Highly recommend. -- Five Cheese Mac & Cheese ($16) -- If it weren't for the salmon dish, this would of been the star of the meal. Very crispy and not too salty. Loved the dynamic of the cheese melt with the macaroni. Very fulfilling and a great dish to share. Highly recommend. To conclude the meal, staff prepared a peach brulee type dessert and was presented very nicely with a candle and a HBD message on the bottom. Very delicious for a small dessert. Overall a nice gesture made and even though it was $5 charge, it was definitely worth the experience. Overall, a wonderful experience. Excellent choice that my wife picked and certainly a restaurant that's on our list to revisit again in the future. Absolutely loved every part of the meal and definitely made my birthday a very special one. read more

Brought my husband here to celebrate his birthday. I booked a reservation in advance. Once we arrived, we were seated within 5 minutes by the glass-enclosed veranda. Our seats were near the window and we had a nice view of the gardens. As this is a steakhouse, of course we had to order at least one steak. All of their steaks are expertly prepared on a wood-fired grill. We decided on the 14oz ribeye grassfed steak from Cape Grim Farm Tasmania, Australia. It was very flavorful and juicy. There was just the right balance of lean meat and fat. In addition, we had the Lemon Crusted Salmon, one of the chef's specialties. The salmon was served with pickled seasonal vegetables, avocado and green chickpea hummus, and watercress. It was cooked perfectly - a rich, buttery texture along with a crispy skin. I was especially impressed with the hummus, which added a nice earthy kick. On the side, we shared the Loaded Baked Potato and Five Cheese Mac & Cheese. Both of these were delicious. The baked potato was super soft and melted in the mouth, whereas the breadcrumbs created an amazing crispy and toasty flavor to the mac & cheese. To end our meal, we had a birthday dessert brought to the table. I think it was some kind of peach brulee dessert. The taste and presentation were on point. There was a small charge for the dessert, but it was completely worth the experience. Parking is valet only. The restaurant can provide parking validation to save you $10. read more

A very elegant and classy restaurant inside the Langham Hotel. My wife and I were here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Our table looked out toward the garden and featured a great view of the trees and landscaping. The restaurant is spacious and well lit but not overly noisy or cramped. We shared an charred octopus appetizer, the Ribeye Prime with chimichurri and a side of charred brussels sprouts. The octopus oozes with such good flavor while the ribeye was tender and perfectly cooked with a nice char on the outside. The brussels sprouts with bacon were a perfect compliment with the steak. For our dessert, we shared the mango - passionfruit pavlova. Yummy. A great experience at this restaurant. read more

My real rating would be 3.5 stars if I was able. I round up in these instances. The majority of our food was very good. Hamachi Crudo 5/5 Wagyu carpaccio 4/5 Gnocchi 5/5 Rack of lamb 5/5 A5 Miyazaki 1/5 inedible and a huge disappointment at $270 Partially my fault for ordering A5 at a non specialty place. A5 has become such a misnomer/trap and should be reserved for establishments like Morimoto or Nobu Lobster Mac 5/5 Creamed spinach 2/5 Cookies with cold foam milk 5/5 Hot beignets 5/5 The ambience of the establishment was excellent. Good furnishings and we were given a table at the glass wall with a great view. We came on a weekday with very few patrons. I'd be curious what a busy night looks like though. Bailey and her support staff were lovely and attentive. Pricing I believe was a bit high overall but can be attributed to The Royce being inside a high end hotel. At the price point I would expect a slightly more elevated experience all around. I graded the food with that in mind. Had this been a stand alone establishment at these prices I may have graded down a tad. read more

It was a lovely evening! The hotel and restaurant are so classy! If truly was a fantastic evening with great food. Everything was good but the octopus really stood out tonight. The char was amazing and had such great flavors. Everything in the dish paired so well and I'm glad I tried it after much debating. Excellent staff and service here too. Nice hostess and funny waiter ! Make sure you validate your ticket if you valet it's much cheaper. Anyways, great restaurant I'd recommend anytime. read more

The ambiance here was amazing! The restaurant had a clean and nice modern interior with a great view outside. The ribeye prime (from Iowa) was juicy with a nice charred flavour. The meat was also very flavourful and tender. However, the steak was a bit too cold compared to other steakhouses. The warm and fluffy bread that came on the side was great though. The servers were also very friendly and gave us a complimentary cake slice for our birthday dinner. Overall, it is a great place for celebrations and the hotel itself is beautiful for a stroll after the meal. read more

The Royce went above and beyond for our party. The best service in the white wine room, by Robert and his crew. We were comfortable and relaxed. Robert offered great suggestions of course the steak. We tried New York prime, ribeye prime, ribeye wagyu. All very delicious. We also tried many of the side dishes, duck fat fries, Mac and cheese, with lobster and truffle, baked potatoe, Brussels sprouts, complimented our entrees. The appetizers were also delicious, octopus, hamachi, mushroom soup, gnocchi. But my favorite was the special surprise for my cousin's bday. His fiance was overseas for his birthday and made special arrangements to have a full cake delivered with a special QR code to display a video off his closest friends and relatives to wish him a happy birthday. Thank you to the staff at The Royce for making his 50th birthday special. Also the cake that was served was the best cake we ever had. Yellow cake with a lemony filling and fresh berries and the best buttercream frosting. Decadent....still dreaming about it. Very well executed. read more

I decided to treat myself to a fancy, expensive dinner at The Royce. I did the $250 5 course meal option, and when I arrived, decided to splurge further and spend the extra $100 on the wine pairing with my meal. When in Rome, and all that. If you were to ask me if I would do it again, I would say yes, but with another person there with me. Since I was alone, I ate rather quickly, so there wasn't as much time between my courses as there would be with someone else, so I felt like I was rushing myself. The first course was a caviar cone and champagne, which were delightful. The sourdough bread and salted butter were also amazing. Next course was beet noodles, which I was impressed with because I typically hate beets. Course 3 was a seafood dish that was cooked well, I'm not often the biggest fan of squid, but I liked this one. The chef came out to speak to me as my steak arrived, and it was nice to meet him. The steak was beautiful, from Colorado, and cooked well. I'd definitely get another from here in a heartbeat. Finally I had the tiramisu with some port for dessert and it was almost like a Dubai chocolate consistency inside it. The whole ambiance is lovely, with the white and red wine rooms being fun to look around at as you walk inside the restaurant. Plan ahead and definitely eat here if you're staying onsite at the Langham. read more

Celebrated My Husband's Birthday Dinner Here We chose this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday and were impressed by the ambiance right away. It's a very pretty spot with beautiful décor, and we especially loved our seating with a view of the garden--such a lovely touch for a special evening. Food & Drinks Overall, the food was okay, though not quite on par with the atmosphere or price point. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: Starters: * Caesar Salad - 5/5 Surprisingly delicious! The addition of figs sounded odd at first, but they worked incredibly well. The dressing was also spot on. * Hamachi - 5/5 Absolutely outstanding! If we could have ordered 10 more of these, we would have. Easily the highlight of the night. Main Course: * Australian Wagyu Ribeye - 3/5 Unfortunately, this was a bit of a letdown. For the price and the quality expected from Australian wagyu, we found the steak to be on the chewy side. We've had better elsewhere, where the texture was more tender and buttery. Sides: * Silky Mash - 3/5 A standard mashed potato dish. Nothing particularly memorable. * Lobster Mac & Cheese - 3/5 Tasted more like a regular mac and cheese with lobster pieces tossed in. * Truffle Fries - 3/5 Standard fries with a sprinkle of truffle salt. * Wild Mushrooms - 4/5 These were flavorful and nicely prepared--probably the best of the sides. Service: Service was excellent throughout. The staff were attentive and professional, and we had no complaints in that department. Overall Rating: 3/5 While the ambiance and service were excellent, the food--especially the steak--fell short of expectations given the price. Still, it was a beautiful setting to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Very nice atmosphere with a viewing area of the garden outside! Restaurant was quiet and attentive to our needs. Every dish that was prepared was delicious. There was absolutely nothing negative about the food service and atmosphere. We ordered grilled Spanish octopus, chanterelle gnocchi, seared Hokkaido scallops, grilled u-6 gambas, ribeye prime, wood fired branzino, lobster mac and cheese. For drinks we had the yuzu essence and the gls telmont reserve brut. Ended the meal with desserts and chose saint honore, house made sorbet, and vanilla basque cheesecake. The yuzu essence drink was amazing. The drink was very pretty. If you like fruity and sweet alcohol, I would recommend. Our party of 4 really enjoyed our meal. read more

We came here for the Christmas pre-fix menu inside the wine room. Our reservation was 8pm and we got there at 8:11pm and seated at around 8:30pm... Pre fix menu about $200 per adult $65 for kids.... Wait time in between course 1 and course 2 was around 40 minutes! Course 1: choice of beet salad or beef carpaccio Both are not my favorite to begin with (You get 4 slices of either beet or beef) Course 2: choice of bone marrow or Brussels salad Not really good choices so far Course 3: Duck breast, lamb, scallops or prime rib Scallops and the ribeye were ok Dessert: only 1 choice (strawberry shortcake) The kids said the sundae was better. Overall: We had a party of 10 total comes out to about $2500 $500 Tip: Not well deserved at ALL. We had to flag someone down to refill the water & no one was smiling on Christmas Day! The waiter kept pushing for us to get the 50% off wine about 3 attempts. Not worth coming here on Christmas Day or any day! We got better service at the Brunch House in Temecula and the 100th Fogo de Chão in Florida it's not even a fancy hotel... Save your money and go elsewhere! read more

The Royce never disappoints. There are a couple of steakhouses I also like in Beverly Hills. But when I am in Pasadena, it is not worth the drive. The Royce is always on point. Great service, wonderful ambiance and steaks. This time we were able to score a table for two that I have always hoped we could sit at. When you think of a steakhouse in a hotel you may question it, but remember it's in the Langham! read more

Food- steak would have been good if it had been cooked properly. Mashed potatoes were cold and sent back. Second batch was dry. Asparagus was tender but was served warm. Mac and cheese was delicious. Caesar salad was light and fresh tasting but needed a little more dressing for my preference. Fries were soggy. Service- excellent Ambiance- upscale and beautiful steakhouse with an ocean twist I would not recommend this place based on the fact that they could not get their steak cooked properly and this is a steakhouse. Mashed potatoes at a steakhouse should not disappoint either. read more

The Passion Fruit & Mango Coconut Pavlova was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. It was light, fresh, and the perfect way to end the meal.

It wasn't overly sweet, and every bite was perfectly balanced. I would definitely order it again! read more

Stopped by for dinner! We were staying at the Langham and we made sure to make reservations for the Royce for dinner to celebrate an anniversary. We used open table. Be aware if you're a member of the Brilliant program (free) you may also get 5% off your meal, and the Royce can be pricy. Service was great as expected. Food actually came quickly. We got great views and there were many other celebrations going on. Menu is not that extensive but they're very good at it and tasty. We did ask for specials but we went for the tried and true steak entree to share. The Wagyu was pretty juicy and you get a choice of sauce. read more

Best steak in the SGV! Located at The Langham. Attentive, quick service in a beautiful, elegant, romantic, spacious setting. Came here for our Valentines dinner. My husband & I shared the 32oz porterhouse prime - medium rare, it was cooked to perfection. It was tender, juicy, flavorful, melt in your mouth. There was plenty of meat for us to share & it didn't have a lot of fat pieces, which is how it should be. We also enjoyed the Asian style green beans and the bread pudding dessert.. The brussel sprouts were only ok. Every dish had generous portions, great for sharing. Make sure to get your parking ticket validated to get a discount. Will definitely return! read more

My spouse and I celebrated her 50th birthday in The Royce. I reserved a table for dinner via Open Table. We were greeted by Maggie and were seated after a minute. We felt really special because she gave us a table for 4 instead of two since I informed them online of our celebration (the table was gorgeous btw!) Chef also gave my spouse a complimentary dessert, which tasted heavenly! We ordered charred octopus, wild mushrooms, Wagyu prime rib 14 oz and in-bone prime rib 32 oz. It is pricey but it's all worth it. The restaurant is beautiful, Dan our server was knowledgeable. read more

We were in town on business and met up with a friend here. I didn't realize it was in the Langham hotel, and yes, I should've known better, but this place is quite dressy. Even with nice jeans, a button-down shirt, and nice sneakers, I felt pretty underdressed. While waiting for our friend, we decided to start with a couple of negronis. We weren't asked about type of gin we wanted but it didn't taste like anything top shelf - my guess is Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray and the sweet vermouth tasted like something lower end, like Martini Rosso. Again, not a super luxurious negroni, but it did the job. When we got the check at the end, though, we were surprised by the $25 price tag(!), though. Once our friend arrived, we ordered a couple of starters to share and a prime bone-in ribeye to share while our friend opted for the NY strip. We also ordered a couple of sides to share. The service here is great, but it did feel a little slow that night. I'm not sure if they were understaffed - it was the day before New Years Eve, so maybe a bunch of people were off. However, when we asked for things, they came promptly - we just wish we saw the server a little more often, especially to top off water and things like that. We started with a large Caesar salad to share and our friend also got the lobster bisque. Both were really good and I really enjoyed the Caesar salad a lot, though it's a VERY large portion. If you ate that before your steak, you'd likely not be able to enjoy your steak very much. The steaks came out and the temps were absolutely perfect, which is to be expected for a steakhouse. The bone-in ribeye is such a huge cut that the two of us that shared it could barely finish it. In fact, if we were driving home afterwards, we would've taken a couple pieces home to eat in the morning with some eggs, but since we were staying in a hotel, we just slowly finished it as we had nowhere to store it or reheat it later. The steaks were tender and juicy, and had been trimmed perfectly to leave just the right amount of fat around the cut without it being overly chewy and fatty. None of us really got any wood-fired flavor in our steak, which was a bit of a disappointment given the name. To go with the steaks, we had the roasted wild mushrooms and duck fat fries. The mushrooms were killer - if you like mushrooms, you should absolutely get this as a side. The fries were good - not quite as crisp as we would've liked, but nice a creamy inside and their aioli was good as well. Overall, the meal was great. All in, the meal was nearly $800 though, including the $25 negronis (x 2), a bottle of still water ($20 - lol), a bottle of wine, and our food. Quite pricey, even by Southern California standards. Given the price, it would only be appropriate for us for celebrations, but in terms of steakhouses, there are many options in the area that I'm sure are a bit more affordable than The Royce. read more

I was skeptical of the poor reviews, and I truly wish I had taken notice. We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday, and unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. We were seated promptly, and the initial service staff were excellent. The assistant who first took our water order was friendly and attentive, and the person who brought us bread and later refilled our glasses was also great. Sadly, that's where the positives ended. Food: The lobster bisque was served room temperature. It had some flavor but was watery and lacked true lobster richness. The Caesar salad was overly acidic, and it included a whole anchovy. While we understand that some high-end restaurants include whole anchovies as a deliberate, upscale touch, this one felt more like an afterthought than a refined garnish. It didn't balance well with the dish and came off as jarring. Ramsey's still holds the title for best Caesar in our book. The prime New York steaks were cooked correctly, the loaded potatoes were solid, and the Asian-style green beans were the highlight of the meal--flavorful and perfectly prepared. Service: Our server, Sullivan, was unprofessional and inattentive. After taking our drink orders, he made a passive-aggressive remark about my pink rosé cocktail--completely uncalled for, especially during a celebratory dinner. When I asked about tequila options, he said they were listed on the back of the menu (they weren't), then said he'd bring a tequila list. He never returned with one. After 20+ minutes and getting our bread, I had to bring it up again myself. After appetizers, we waited another 30-40 minutes for our entrées. We finished our food in about 20 minutes and sat for another 20 without a single check-in or attempt to clear the table. At that point, we had been there for 1 hour and 45 minutes. We had wanted dessert and coffee, but no one followed up. I had to flag down the original assistant--the only one who provided consistent, quality service--to get our table cleared and request the check. I asked to speak with a manager for the first time in my life. The manager was polite and took the drinks off our bill without being asked, but honestly, I wasn't looking for a discount--I just wanted a great evening for my wife. For the price, I expected a polished, high-end experience. And that includes not just the food, but the atmosphere, attention to detail, and professional service. Unfortunately, this place missed the mark on all of those. I won't be returning. Arroyo Chop House and Alexander's continue to far surpass this spot in food, service, and overall experience. read more

The food is mediocre but edible. I expect to pay high prices here but the food is not worth it. The service was efficient, the people were nice. The reason why I give one star is because they threw away more than half of each left over plate I had. I ate about 25% of each plate I ate and when I got home and saw the left overs they threw away a majority portion. The only reason I can think of as to why someone would do this is just to be a jerk. I paid a lot of money for my food and for it to be thrown away is unacceptable. I am the only person who can decide if I throw away my food or not. read more

Food was good but did not wow me. Service is wonderful, my steak was under cooked a bit and they gladly took it back and made sure it was what I wanted. Bone marrow was a white paste, which is something I am new to. This restaurant is located inside of hotel, valet parking but they will validate for $15. read more

More like a 3.5 but it's decent. It is a bit expensive for the quality but for the most part it is a decent steakhouse. We ordered (I vividly remember it some kind of like family meal where we it came with sides/appetizers, steak, and lobster). We also separately ordered one of their pork chop. Got a few cocktails and one of them tasted like medicine :\ and their pork chop was just OVERLY salted. We had to tell the waiter to help us with that one and he brought us a new one but it was still oversalted(better but still oversalted). I thought for the most part the sides/appetizers were pretty solid. The steak and lobster were pretty ok. Really just thought the pork chop and the cocktails were kinda so/so to bad. For the most part, service was pretty good too. read more

This restaurant has always been on my radar and comes up frequently in searches, but with so many amazing restaurants in Pasadena, I wasn't sure if this spot was overrated. So glad I was able to dine here, and especially glad we tried the non-steak dishes first. Service and ambiance is great, especially if you can get one of the tables near the window facing the Langham grounds. We got the stuffed pork chop, whole grilled branzino and charred octopus. The branzino was crispy and tender and served with a grilled avocado. The sauce with the charred octopus was delicious. Everything was tasty and executed well. Dine here even if you aren't in the mood for steak. read more

Wonderful service and a lovely setting, but the steak was a piece of shoe leather. If you're a high end steak house and can't cook a steak, then nothing else really matters. Had the $120 dry aged NY prime ordered medium rare. It came out overcooked, dry, and not warm like maybe it had sat for a while. Really tough like you could choke on it. For comparison in the last month I've had steaks out Arroyo Chop House, Ocean Prime, and Nik + Stef's. All would rank among my all time favorites of perfectly cooked, delectable, juicy steaks. The Royce was like something if I ruined a steak that badly myself I'd maybe cut it up for my dog. read more

We came here Friday night for a friend's birthday celebration. The restaurant is in the beautiful Langham hotel. If you have never ben to Langham, I suggest to come 20mins prior to your reservation. So you can walk around the hotel and the extensive lavish outdoor garden. We had a private dinning/wine room ($2,000 minimum) which is located right at the entrance. It was an absolutely a pleasant experience. I don't think Royce should be on 4 $$$$ mark because the price is more than reasonable compared with lots of other restaurants with similar standard in BH and West Hollywood. Good highlights-40 oz wagyu tomahawk steak is a must have if you have a group of 4 or more! It was served on a large butcher block with yummy green sauce not sure what it is made of. So big and juicy. It's on the fatty side. We didn't mind. Oysters are sweet and fresh! Beef Tatar is great and easy for everyone to eat. Bone marrow is made like a tart very unique but too salty. The server is very tentative and polite! Explained everything very thoroughly. Will be back! read more

This place was BEAUTIFUL! The decor was navy and beige. I was engulfed in a sea of calm neutral colors, high ceiling, spaciousness and excellent service. Needless to say, I was very comfortable and my chair even had a back pillow! It is located in the Langham Hotel in Pasadena (the old Ritz-Carlton). I came here for a joint birthday celebration. We ordered the following: Appetizers - overall rating 3.5/5 1. Crab Cake 2. Grilled Spanish Octopus 3. Hamachi Crudo The presentation for all the food was beautiful. The taste and flavor on the other hand was a different story. Almost all the dishes aired on the more sour side except for the octopus which if you ate it with all the sides had a good flavor profile and balance. The other 2 dishes were a little disappointing due to the overpowering acidic flavor. Main Course: 4/5 Australian 14 oz Ribeye Wagyu (medium rare) Cooked perfectly and enough to share Sides: Rating 4/5 1. Royce Loaded Baked Potato 2. Duck Fries 3. Five Cheese Mac n Cheese The duck fries were delicious! The loaded baked potato was flavorful. The five cheese mac n cheese was good, maybe could be simplified a bit. Dessert: Rating 10/5!!! My favorite part of the meal. 1. Chocolate Hazelnut Cake This was perfection. Perfect blend of sweet and bitter and creaminess and crunch. My family and I were fighting for every bite. I was so pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted. It looked under-assuming just like a regular chocolate cake. But oh man, the flavor and texture were just spot on! 2. Sorbet trio This was a success as well - watermelon mint sorbet, mango with tanjin and coconut sorbet. A must to finish the meal. So refreshing and delicate. Like I said earlier, the service was outstanding. The restaurant even prepared 2 different complimentary birthday desserts for us . Overall, a great and happy experience. For one night, we felt like we were royalty. read more
