We we’re celebrating our 15th anniversary with my parents. the waitress brought us a dessert with a Happy Anniversary on it. Nice touch. Wish I could remember our waitress name because she was not only delightful but also made the best recommendations. The food was delicious. We ordered the steak and frits, sea bass, shrimp penne and the bucatini. Chefs kiss. First time customers but we will be back. Thank you!

Generic American food. It was good, but nothing special. We noticed that both our table and the table next to us never got the salads ordered, so I don't know what's going on there. We may come back and give it another try.

It does get loud in this restaurant, but it was very tolerable for us at the dinner hour (6:30pm-8:30pm). There were 4 of us in a side booth, and although it was definitely noisy, we were able to converse just fine. The foot is always amazing here--our friends had never been and they can't stop talking about how delicious the spaghetti was that they ordered. It's not your everyday spaghetti here, it's "fine food" spaghetti and remarkably yummy! The shrimp penne is also wonderful, but we've loved everything we've tried here!

We come here often for an early dinner (they open at 4 PM. although that's primarily for bar service). We were here again the day before yesterday, commenting on what a unique and relaxed place it was to have drinks and dinner. The service is always good. The space is warm, contemporary and friendly. Even when the place gets busy, the noise level is not bad. Our only complaint, and it's not a big one, is it would be good if the menu got changed a little more often. But what they serve is always well-prepared and tastes great, full of interesting choices.

Have always enjoyed The Arbour until yesterday when my wife's entre was cold. The waiter and manager stated that it was to be served cold, which we did not agree with after having the entre hot several times over the past years. The manger comped the drinks and salad, which was appreciated.

Meeting our daughters new beau for the first time, the Arbour was a lovely setting . Our server Judy was absolutely the best! Very knowledgeable, kind, fun, and thoroughly delightful. She definitely added to the experience! The food was amazing! Best wild mushroom soup ever. Equally, the entrees were simply magnificent. We will definitely be back!

I was really looking forward to my dining experience here, but I have to say it left me a bit disappointed. I saw this this is touted as a "farm to table" restaurant, but on the menu there was no mention of the farmers, ranchers or fishermen that produce the food. In addition the vibe was more of a chain restaurant - feeling a bit soul-less. In my reservation I noted that I was gluten free, but no one was aware of that at the restaurant. When I placed my order with someone who wasn't my original server, I assumed that the polenta cake would be gluten free, thankfully when he brought my food he clarified that it wasn't and had the kitchen make we one that was. The server was the bright spot of my experience.

They gave us the wrong salads, then took them back and gave them to the next table.. They gave mushroom soups to the next table, then took them back and gave them to us. We waited 20 minutes for the salads to be delivered to us, and not taken away. Once the correct salads were delivered, things went smoothly.. Our server, Pat(?), did an exceptional job, in spite of the difficulties.

It was a very lively evening at The Arbour. We did the Happy Hour which was extended to 6pm to celebrate Arbour Day! Being one of our favorite Pasadena restaurants, and literally knowing practically the entire staff, including owner/head chef Ian Gresik, we were kindly treated to a crime brûlée by the chef himself! Wow! Love it all! Thank you, The Arbour, for making our evening great.

Once again Chef Ian and his crew delight. We had a party of five and everyone raved about their meals, which included the salmon, yellow fin, and sea bass, mushroom risotto and the rigatoni. The wild mushroom soup is a must if you love mushrooms. Great wine list and very knowledgeable sommelier. Lovely staff.
