    Filet mignon
    Joseph T.

    Service 5/5 as far as the staff from the hostess to our servers. Food 4.5/5! So close to a 5/5! Ambiance 5/5. Length of time for food 2/5. Price for value of service and food 4/5 Overall rating 4/5! If you plan to come here, on a relaxing day and not in any type of rush, have great convos, it's aright! If you are very hungry, prepare to wait, order bread and appetizers! Also their menu. I went on open table. So hopeful to get the crab cakes, disappointed when the actually menu no longer has it. Boo I had the Chilean Sea bass 4.5/5, they gave you a pot of tableside serve of dashi broth, pieces of lobster and crunchy veggies under the filet do fish. It was great. Flavors good, the veggies gave me the crunch texture. The lobster was full flavor and the dashi balanced it out, little smoky but such a good balance. My wife loved her tender filet mignon, I ate her broccoli too. She said her meat didn't even have to have the sauce. It was good on its own. Kids loved their chicken tenders and fries. My son ate his entire plate. They said 5/5 3 decent size pieces of tender on top of a plate of crunchy fried fries and both kids approved. We also ordered the French onion soup, 4.5/5 so much cheese that stretched! Plenty of onions and a layer of bread. Bottom layer of soup , very legit, was not over salted. It was good and the cheese charcuterie board. 4/5, OMG I loved the honey on its comb, so good. I would come back, this place is grand, lots of land, lovely scenery, just very huge place. Probably fancy weddings, lovely spa packages and romantic weekends. Everyone was really friendly from the lobby to the valet service. Take a walk all around the property! There's a lot of history in this building.

    Pancakes

    Food- had breakfast at the place several times while staying there. The drip coffee was sometimes served hot or warm at best. Eggs weren't always cooked consistently as ordered. Potatoes were delicious. Salmon was fresh but bagel was lacking.The avocado toast had a "different" taste combination that made it bitter tasting. French toast was bland and hard. Oatmeal was good. Eggs Benedict was balanced and tasty. Pancakes were flat with no flavor. Bacon was nice and crispy. If you order sourdough bread, they will bring you white bread. It happened every time. Service- with the exception of two servers, the rest were NOT attentive. Slow and never came back to offer refills of the water or coffee. Ambiance- beautiful poolside restaurant Overall, the food and service were alright and did not meet the expectations of a luxury resort. If you are staying there, it might be worth having food there if you're planning a pool day.

    I'm not sure why this place has such low ratings. I was staying at the hotel, so breakfast was included. It was a Sunday, and on weekends, breakfast turns into brunch, served until 1 PM. You can choose between a buffet or à la carte options. They offer a great variety, including a live egg station where you can have eggs prepared to your liking. I chose the Eggs Benedict with spinach and mushrooms, and it was delicious! Soft drinks like coffee, tea, and juice are included with the brunch buffet, but anything else, such as cappuccinos, lattes, or alcohol, comes at an extra cost. The service was friendly, and I loved the ambiance. Since it was around Christmas time, the entire atmosphere was festive and lovely. The place was busy with people celebrating, including ladies' gatherings, birthdays, and gift exchanges.

    We came in for breakfast at this pool side restaurant at the langham Pasadena. Place was so packed with tourists for a Saturday morning. They started to serve lunch at 11am but guests still had breakfast / brunch buffet option. We chose the latter cause the lunch menu was so limited. The brunch buffet choices were not bad. Omelette and eggs benedict station was nice. Good amount of breakfast bakeries but no gluten free options at all. Salad and fruit station was my favorite. The food selections were decent but the flavors were lacking. I had to put salsa sauce on the flavorless foods to make them taste better. But we really wasn't expecting much for only $39 pp including soft drinks. It was a very relaxing breakfast / brunch and the service was great. Definitely up to a luxury hotel standards. I would say it's a nice place for brunch nonetheless! Ps. Valet $15 with validation

    We enjoyed high tea here on a Saturday afternoon and it was really lovely from start to finish. They offered vegan, gluten-free, and regular options, and everything we tried was delicious. The tea selection was great and the atmosphere was elegant, beautiful, and perfect for a special afternoon. The service was attentive and very friendly, making the whole experience even better. It is definitely a bit of a splurge, but worth it if you are looking for a memorable high tea experience in Pasadena. The Langham Hotel itself is stunning, with historic grounds, a beautiful outdoor courtyard and pool, and even a speakeasy-style bar right next to the Terrace restaurant where high tea is served. Would highly recommend all around.

    Sunday night the hostess was 10/10 . Service 10/10 everyone so nice . The short rib plate was everything I was hoping for . I was stunned by the graciousness by the staff . They really know how to give you that classy feeling.. like you're their special guest . Everyone working Sunday night was very attentive . the manor in which I was served made me blush quite a few times . They really are with that 5 star service . From the hostess to each of the servers they make you feel special like royalty . here I love this hotel so much , it's my happy place . 11/10 will be back .

    The Terrace Restaurant at the Langham Hotel is our brunch favorite. The $39 buffet had great variety--loved the omelets, berry station, and awesome pastries. The terrace view was stunning, service was solid, and parking was $17 with validation. Highly recommended.

    Not bad but ... I don't know if I would've come here if not for our daily breakfast and meal credit. The menu isn't cheap, particularly the weekend buffet (more on that in a bit). The Terrace is the Langham Hotel's more casual breakfast, lunch, and dinner eatery, when you want something less formal than the steakhouse. Some of the options on the breakfast menu ARE worth it. The picture of my granola doesn't do the size justice. Picture two fists' worth of yogurt sitting on top of a thick, solid layer of toasted granola, drizzled with honey and topped with blueberries. It was possibly the best granola I've ever had. I ate most of it and the amount kept me full and satisfied well into the day. They also offer a market fruit plate for $18 and before you scream at the price for just some fruit, the plate is about the size of a trough. I saw a waiter carry it to a table with both hands. In addition to the heap of fruit (banana, kiwi, grapes, oranges, berries), the plate also has Greek yogurt and several slices of banana bread. If you're not particularly hungry in the morning like me, this is a great option to order for the table to share. That said: - $9 for a glass of grapefruit juice? No. Just no. - The weekend breakfast buffet is first-come, first-serve, but I recommend skipping it. First, the price tag is $40 per person, not worth it at all if you're only getting one or two plates of food. Second, the options were pretty skimpy. They had avocado toast, breakfast pastries, scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, bacon, and some fruits/berries but come on. If you're charging $40, at least include more protein, like smoked fish. Or even yogurt. It took a while to flag down our waiter for the check. Weekend brunch was super loud and we ended up escaping to the Club Lounge for a second round of breakfast.

    I know that The Terrace has not had a good reputation, but I don't know why. It's only 3 stars on yelp, the front page has several only one-star complaints. I will take about my experience there. Danny invited me and my daughter, Lara, to have lunch there, after we ignored about a dozen options. He picked us up and drove there, from my home to the west-south hidden inside a hotel where The Terrace is. It's inside a hotel, I was told the hotel has more than 100 years of history. We were seated, outside the room beside the swimming pool. There was not too crowded during the COVID season. There was a table of Chinese, who looked like two wealthy Chinese families, with their high school kids, none of the families had the full members of husband and wife. The environment was good with the sunshine, the restaurant was just reopened and still with the notice on yelp about a temporary time opening. Almost everyone around the swimming pool and sitting outside was not wearing a mask except at two tables, our table and the table next to us of the Chinese. The menu for the lunch was simple, Danny ordered a salad, Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad for $ 26, Lara had a Roasted Turkey Panini($26) and I had California Cobb($26). Compare with the food we got, the salad was a more expensive one. We share the food, all were standard, but no one was delicious. They were good, but not gourmet. Lara's panini was in a fashion shape, it was more like a hot sandwich. Mine was also good, but not that good to be remembered. The salad was normal, the romaine was fresh, and the turkey was as dry as any turkey, nothing special. The burger was small and the fries were good and crispy. I don't even have any idea to comment on it, the food was good and beyond average. The view was wonderful, the service was acceptable. We had a walk after the brunch, quite with disruption, the historical builds were recalling the memory. Where those memories came from? I am just a new first-generation immigrant here, why I'm feeling so familiar with the stuff here? Anyway, the food was good, even not the best level but those were good. I will visit here again.

I was very impressed with the overall customer service. Now it makes sense why they have been in business for 100 years. The true test was trying out some basic dishes to see how good the food is. Pancake, 1/2 order of French toast, and of course a half an order of biscuits and gravy topped with scrambled eggs. The pancake was soft and fluffy. It was so good I really wanted to fold it up to eat as a taco, but I didn't want to be judged. It was so good that it left me wanting to risk all my manners. The French toast was excellent. Each bite was consistently delicious, well made and great flavor. The half order of biscuits and gravy paired with scrambled eggs is excellent. The biscuits were delicious, the gravy had a great rosemary taste, and the gravy is a bit on the thinner side. Personally it wasn't a deal breaker for me. It was still delicious. What would have made my simple meal perfect was coffee with creamer. They only serve half and half. Not a deal breaker but I prefer creamer giving it a true diner feel to it. Still giving 5 stars because the service and food was perfect. Thank you again! Definitely will be back!

It actually didn't take too long for our order to arrive, which we were surprised they are very quick and efficient with service! Although, the food was very underwhelming. California Benedict was pretty basic, or just the bare minimum actually. It was okay, ingredients don't really stand out. My bf's country fried steak, he was disappointed that the steak didn't even look fried. He wasn't really a fan of his order lol. I thought the potatoes were pretty decent, although I wish they were cut smaller into like breakfast potatoes. They were so chunky, but also wish they could be fried more. Overall, I feel like we chose the wrong items from this place lol, but these were the items highlighted on the Yelp page? Maybe it didn't help that we were seated next to the kitchen or a cart full of dirty dishes bc I just kept smelling that as we were eating.

When I ordered a matcha, the employee asked if regular milk was okay, and I said oat milk was fine. However, I was never informed that oat milk was an additional $1 charge. She also never asked what size I wanted and then told me to pay. When I looked at the screen, I saw that the total was $7 for a large. I only wanted to spend around $5-$6, so I asked if I could get a small instead. I was surprised to see that the price was still the same. When I asked why, she then explained that oat milk was a $1 up charge and she didn't charge me on the large order for oatmilk. I don't mind paying the extra dollar, but I feel customers should be informed about an additional charge before being charged for it. Also, if getting a large was actually the better deal, I would have appreciated being told that. What made the interaction more frustrating was that the employee seemed distracted and dismissive while her coworker was talking to her. I ended up getting the small, even though I was confused about the pricing. The matcha itself was good, but unfortunately, because of the customer service experience, I don't think I'll be returning. I don't expect anything special--just clear communication about pricing and to be asked what size I'd like before being charged.

(I mean what kind of place offers alongside a slice of toast or english muffins, provides a unique an alternate option for HOMEMADE BANANA BREAD?) Its always fresh and the best - you can even purchase an entire loaf of banana bread at checkout! We always visit on the weekends, and there's usually a short wait but it moves quickly. Its small, busy, and quaint (no frills) - but hearty breakfast that feels like home.

    The Reyn is a popular breakfast spot in Pasadena and a place I still visit from time to time,…read moreusually when meeting friends or colleagues. Despite its popularity, I find the food to be fairly average. Much of it tastes like it's made from standard commercial food-service ingredients rather than prepared fresh. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, the dining room has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is generally attentive. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood breakfast restaurant - nothing particularly memorable, but nothing especially disappointing either. The Reyn Special - 3/5. A classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and banana bread. The eggs and bacon are fairly average, although the bacon tends to be overcooked and dry. The standout is the hash browns. They're cooked with a nicely browned, crispy crust while still remaining fairly moist inside. The real highlight, however, is the banana bread. It tastes homemade and is easily the best item on the plate. Crepes - 1/5. This dish comes as two separate plates: one with the ricotta-filled crepes and another with eggs, sausage, bacon, and your choice of fries or tater tots. Unfortunately, the crepes are the weakest part of the meal. The ricotta-filled crepes don't taste freshly made and instead resemble a pre-made food-service product that's simply reheated before serving. Both the crepe and ricotta filling have a generic flavor with noticeable artificial notes. You can choose either banana or strawberry topping, but both sauces taste overly processed and artificial. The accompanying breakfast plate is noticeably better. I chose the tater tots, which were well prepared - crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. The bacon, however, was again overcooked and dry, making it tough to chew. The sausage was acceptable but unremarkable. Scrambled Supreme - 2.5/5. Despite the name, this is essentially an omelet. The eggs have a mild, neutral flavor, and the fillings are okay but don't stand out. Coffee - 2/5. The coffee is classic diner coffee in every sense. It's somewhat watery, heavily roasted, and finishes with a flat, slightly bitter aftertaste. It's neither particularly good nor particularly bad - just standard coffee that does the job. Overall, The Reyn succeeds as a comfortable, affordable breakfast spot with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. While the food is average, and several dishes rely on ingredients that taste commercially prepared rather than freshly made.

    Pretty good food and a unique menu. We came for DineLA. The best, hands down, was the bone kettle…read morenoodles and broth. It was so warm, comforting, and rich in flavor. The garlic prawns were also pretty good. I was really disappointed with the panna cotta because it was salty. It reminded me of salted caramel, so if that was the intention, then great, but I'm not of fan of that flavor so I was surprised this dessert wasn't sweet. Staff was so helpful and kind. Restrooms are below - must use stairs (not sure if there were elevators). Parking was super chaotic because of the concert at the Rose Bowl (like blockssss were closed/full in terms of parking). Luckily there was valet near-ish that was $20.

    Super disappointed in my dinner at bone kettle. We came for the Dine LA menu which seemed like a…read moregood value and tasting experience. We ordered dumplings to start, brisket noodles, and nasi uduk from the Dine LA menu. The dumplings came out and were super salty. Fine, it wasn't that bad, but instead we ended up waiting over an hour for them to serve us instant noodles in the most mediocre chicken soup like broth, with the toughest, chewiest brisket and some dry stringy chicken in nasi uduk. If the wait wasn't bad enough, paying $55 per person to be served the most basic food is a slap in the face. No one came to check on us while we were waiting and I had to ask a server to check on our food. I could've made something at home that tasted better and it sure wouldn't have taken that long to come out. Feel like I wasted my night and my money. Possibly one of the worst experiences I've ever had eating out. Edit: OH MY GOD I FORGOT THEY CHARGE A 20% SERVICE CHARGE AND FOR WHAT?? To wait for an hour and waste our time to serve us the most mid food? Please
