Best Date Night Restaurants in Highland Park

We come nearly every holiday season, because the carolers and ambiance are amazing. Service this year was very good, it hasn’t always been in the past. But the food… the food is always terrible. I wish they would put some effort into the menu and quality.

Another great experience….our second….at this special restaurant….exemplary service, interesting wine selections, unique and imaginative food choices, each of which were amazing and delicious. Definitely each was plentiful enough for sharing…we are already looking forward to our next visit…a top choice for any avowed foodie

Tasty food, creatively presented in attractive surroundings. Excellent service. (They even box up leftovers and have them waiting in the front for pickup when you leave.) A bit pricey especially for the entrees and somewhat limited wines by-the-glass, also a bit expensive.

This was our first time as a family having our Thanksgiving meal away from home. The entire experience was very special, intimate, food was delicious, servers, music outstanding, vibe perfect…we sat outside on garden patio. It was heaven! (The weather was 73 and sunny!)… The only reason I did not give a 5 for service was ONLY because it was Thanksgiving Day and it seemed they might have been slightly short staffed, however, the servers were delightful and working VERY hard. They just could have had a few more which would assist with getting drinks/water refreshed or other incidentals. I highly recommend The Raymond as a must experience restaurant if you’re looking if for a garden, romantic, historical, beautiful restaurant with amazing food choices, located in Pasadena.

Ignacio, the manager, was a delight. Our experience on Thanksgiving day was wonderful. The food was amazing and so was the presentation. We were going to be seated on the patio, but the manager was kind enough to seat us inside instead. Ignacio brought my mother an alcoholic beverage for her birthday and even brought her a slice of birthday cake. The souvenir lavender candle was also very thoughtful. We would definitely come back again. This was a good choice to spend our holiday brunch there.
