    Exceptional service and great steak. The calamari was a favorite for me. Very happy we found this place when we randomly decided to try it for a late lunch. We'll definitely be coming back.

    Food is outstanding! Service is great. We tried to sit outside because inside it can be quite loud.

    It was my significant other's birthday. We were at the Music Center. So where else to go for dinner but Malbec in Pasadena? We had been there many times before. We always have been very happy there. We hope to be there many times in the future. Everything for the evening there was excellent. The wait staff, the food, and our table were wonderful. Go! You will be very happy that you did.

    drive by here a lot and always a line/crowd outside. Finally got to experience dinner with my kindergarten best friend forever after a play at a nearby theater. We loved it! Will definitely be back!
