I love this place and I highly recommend the bar. I have not eaten at the restaurant, however, from what I hear, it is top notch.  the rooms are wonderful, the bathrooms are wonderful. And the scenery is amazing. Great for cyclists.  Pan au chocolat and coffee for breakfast. In the bar, the cheese plate, burger and fries.  I will be back, and hopefully next time I will be able to spend more time, and have more to say!

It was fine. I had to ask the girl next to me to stop texting during the movie. I don't know why you would pay $11 to go to a movie and then text during it. Rude, disrespectful and shows your IQ of negative 5.  Are people getting stupider or what??? Haha!

saw Iron Man and the movie was good, the seats are ok, the sound, if you are too far back/up is not the best.

Paseo.

Um well we came here after seeing Iron Man- it was late and I was not too hungry. I had one Mahi grilled taco. It was fine.  Salsas are good.

But you know what? You can buy cheaper handmade corn tortilla chicken tacos from Sergio's in Glendora.

Anyhow- for a quick bite, you know, it's ok.

Fun, always love going to Wahoo's!

Chicken Tortilla Soup is a meal in and of itself, so if you are feeling like soup- go here.

I like the fish, balckened is good.  i had the bowl the last time. But honestly get the tacos. Lots of food, fun atmosphere and healthy.

Healthy, light and delish!

BASED on CATERING ONLY!

My company caters from here on a highly regular basis for lunch.

I love the Italian meatloaf, the salads, the focaccia bread is amazing and so I eat a ton of it.

The pasta is yummy- mashed potatoes so-so, steamed veggies are good.

anyhow- I should probably try the actual restaurant...

Sachi Sushi Restaurant

Super fun place, I had the teriyaki chicken with brown rice Bento Box. More than enough food for me. Good service. Yum.

So you walk in and the menu is on the wall in picture form- so it is kind of funny, but my lunch mate told me it has been like that forever, and she has been eating there for a very long time.

They have brown rice by the way. So good.

I only had the cali roll, so I don't know about sushi here, but the lunches are great!

Matsuri

Neighborhood: Pasadena

4 star rating

I LOVE Matsuri- not 5 stars because it is kind of casual. However- the sushi is amazing to me, and the service amazing, and just a great fun place to go lunch or dinner!

I prefer to sit at the sushi bar and ask the chef to give me what he's got- Try the Shiso Hot- it is spicy tuna served in a new way- so good!

The sashimi salad is great too, which I had with my best Asian girlfiriend... when we sat at a table. SO good! The people are great, they beat a drum when you walk in, it's just great fun and the people are wonderful.

A great fun place to go.  According to some, the sushi portions are small, but for me it is perfect you know I have a small stomach or something.

Closed on Sunday!

ENjoy!

Dish

Well, what to say about Dish. I love the atmosphere, and the service was actually impeccable. However- I did come here for the food.

Sunday is breakfast day, so Sunday morning we head out to check out Dish for the first time. i love breakfast out. But I am growing tired of mediocre.

Omelette- we had the brie bacon cherry tomato om- amazing! This was the best part of the whole breakfast and I would return to eat the omelette!

French Toast- so underdone is was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. The right ingredients- sourdough bread, and great spices(although spices were too light as well)- but so underdone. I have to say my vote is still for Mike and Anne's in So Pas.

Potatoes- even more highly disappointing. underdone was again. Not enough spice. The red potatoes were the right base- but after that you needed a bevy of tobasco and catsup to make it tasty. So sad to me I almost cried. Breakfast is judged on potatoes.

Coffee- I had a latte- it was good. Nothing spectacular, but the presentation was nice.

Service was impeccable (sorry to repeat myself).

Anyhow- consensus is Mike and Anne's has the best potatoes and French Toast, I may stop this Quixotic quest for great French Toast- I make better than most, and Mike and Anne's is above acceptable!

Vroman's Bookstore

when you tire of fluorescent box cloned loud stale hateful employees of the big box book stores, find Vroman's.

Personable employees who will jump to help you.  Managers are very nice people too.

Good selection of books, and very cute gift type items, like Red Tango kitty bags.

a respite from the madness of horrible chain book stores.

Il Fornaio

4 star rating

Bakery: I typically come here to pick up a pre made sandwich, but I MUST recommend the delish Pesto pasta salad in the refrig case. Look, I hate buying pre-made food, but for convenience sake, this is it.  Of course having Pellegrino Limonata is huge bonus! yum!

Coffee: coffee I have found is consistent and smooth. I have been very happy with the service.

Dining: I have not yet dined at Il Fo, at least not this location. When I did in Colorado, I loved it!

Location is awesome at One Colorado- ride you bike and enjoy beautiful scenery and a great atmosphere!
