    Good food and super lovely service from a manager that wants to welcome everyone to his restaurant like family. Their hanger steak dish was excellent.

    Santos is the best. Make sure he's taking care of you on your visit. Great wine recommendations, helpful without being intrusive. Oh, yeah, the food's terrific, too.

    We had a 21-person engagement dinner in the private room. The house magician performed card tricks & almost stole my engagement ring!

    The chocolate souffle is DIVINE. A super romantic and hip place to go on a date in Pasadena.
