Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Pasadena

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.

Service was great and the food was excellent. The music was very loud (no doubt left over from the opening staff), but the server was happy to turn it down upon request. They have no decaf coffee--no drip, no Americano... Highly recommended for breakfast or brunch.

Took a friend who had never been before, he was very impressed. Is going to come back for a Sunday brunch. Our server was absolutely amazing. She interacted with us and it made for excellent service. Very attentive yet gave us time to have an appetizer and social beverage before taking our order. Her name is Joanna.🌟🌟🌟🌟

Always a pleasure to visit Celestino! The food and the service are consistently gracious and professional.

Such a great lunch. The food was delicious. From the warm scones to the herbal teas to the sandwiches and salad and selection of desserts. And, the nice ice cream with the candle, for my friends Bday, was a nice surprise. We each took a bite, but were too full to eat it. All of the cookies and candies went home with us. Great service. We never felt rushed. The waiter was attentive without being disruptive. I will definitely go back.
