New American Restaurants near Sierra Madre, CA

“It's become a yearly meeting place for my friends and I to meet here at this lovely and quaint establishment. I love coming into Sierra Madre, a tiny gorgeous little place that lets me forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The restaurant itself is cozy and the service awesome. The food is delicious and tastes fresh. I have had the mushroom risotto and the chicken dish that was fabulous. The salads are also fresh, light and tasty. The desserts were wonderful. Not heavy, not powerful sweet, just perfect. I had the creme burlee on one occasion and the brownie on another. We have tried other restaurants in the area, but for me this is my go-to when in Sierra Madre.“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“We ordered the hippo bread, cauliflower, ravioli with clams and the hangar steak. All so delicious! The hippo bread is soft and sweet with that butter. The cauliflower is shareable and so good! The ravioli was fine and the hangar steak was slightly sweet and tender. Our waiter, Alejandro, was so attentive and answered all of our questions. He was fabulous! The kitchen is open so you can look and see which is always fun! Love the music, too! We walked past the restaurant but then I remembered it was by the pizza place so we circled back and found it. Can't wait to return!“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Our second time in, first time inside...what a fantastic place! Our food and service was stellar! Thomas, our server, was extremely intricate to our heck of a time as was Claudia's surprise visit! We'll be back and we'll be back after that as well!“

“This spot in Pasadena is a MUST!!! The restaurant was clean, food was served super fast and was delicious, the cashier and the server provided AMAZING customer service very kind and friendly which made us feel very WELCOMED! I had not visited a restaurant with all of these important details in YEARS!!!! One small detail that I wish they had is a house coffee to perfect their business, I think coffee is essential in these kind of restaurants other than that 1000 out of 10!!!“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“Truly yummy home style New Southern cooking. I had the seasonal ramps and beet salad, the pork chop and the biscuit. Would recommend all. Well seasoned and prepared - nothing over done or precious but still beautifully plated. I enjoyed my first fermented gin drink as well. Was thrilled to not have just deep fried everything but lovely Southern flavors.“

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.“

“Always an amazing time here. Been coming to this location for years now. Service is second to none and food is delicious.“

“Amazing food, ambiance, wine, and staff! Tucked away on Holly St., a few blocks over from Colorado. Old town local vibe. Super chill. I've been trying new restaurants in the area and decided to pop in early on a Fri nite. Got a seat at the counter overlooking the chef preparing all the meals. Ordered a rose, very tasty. Short ribs with mash potatoes. Amazing! I will definitely be back to try more things. Highly recommend. We really don't have anything like this in Pasadena.“

“My wife, Sara, and I dined at The Proper last night. It was our first time there. I had very recently become aware of it on Yelp. We were treated very well by our server, Connor, and by another man, whose name we do not know. He probably was an assistant manager. We asked him about the history and the décor of the restaurant. He offered to have the owner stop by our table to answer questions he was more in a position to address. The owner, Rick, did come by and we had nice chat. Rick and his staff are terrific folks. And we really enjoyed the food. Sara had the chicken piccata and I had the jambalaya pasta. We enjoyed a bottle of Sonoma Cutrer chardonnay and the warm butter toffee cake for dessert. It was an all-around terrific evening. Sara wants to try the miso salmon next time and I will probably order the blackened shrimp tacos. Another thing that’s a plus is that we don’t eat red meat or pork - we’re fish and fowl only – and there are many items on The Proper’s menu that we can eat. And we may elect to dine in the bar on our next visit, which is really cool and charming.“

“Great food and service. Loved the the rooftop dining!“

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“Holy cow I can't say enough wonderful things about AltaEats. Discovered them through their pandemic-era Roasties (cooked food to take home and eat) and we're still doing it with them now. The potatoes and green beans were so good last night (heaping portions!) that there were none leftover this morning for breakfast. The flank steak was cooked to absolute perfection. Their bread is the perfect complement to everything else. Highly recommended. Lovely people, too.“

“Do I really need to review a renowned restaurant like Fleming's? No ? Well I'm going to do it anyway!From a regular meat eater, I was able to enjoy the best piece of meat of my life at this restaurant! And I weigh my words, this filet mignon was absolutely succulent, perfectly cooked and gave me many sensations in my mouth.The sides were just as perfect, I can't find a single fault with the cuisine that I was able to taste.The service is very pleasant and has an eye for detail and satisfaction, without overdoing it (no hunting for tips), many dishes offered by the house for a quarter of an hour late on our reservation, and always a smile and a little joke to keep the table in a good mood.Thank you for this excellent experience, I will keep excellent memories of it.“

“We tried a bunch of plates out between all the family, some plates we tried out were the am chowder, calamari rings, fish and chips, pulled pork sliders, sweet potato fries, asada fries and more I cannot remember the names of, but I did take pictures for your convenience. I also have all beers from the tap in pictures and videos.Overall, we were satisfied with service and portions that are OK for the prices.The staff was super friendly and quick, so I'd recommend you guys try them out.“

“**The Stand Burger Restaurant: A Delightful Dining Experience** The Stand offers an inviting and enjoyable dining experience that stands out in several ways. From the moment you walk in, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel welcome. The menu at The Stand is impressively diverse, catering to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a welcoming atmosphere. This is my second time here and twice I've enjoyed their classic Stand burger for under $10.“

“Just a nice place to relax and have good food.“

“Really great spicy chicken. There's a small area for seating but you'll probably have to take it to go. The chicken is nice and spicy and a ton of flavor, the fries have a really good seasoning and their MC sauce is delicious! Can't recommend them enough.“

“This restaurant has a large variety of different dishes to order from. I haven't been there for over 25 years and the food was excellent back then for breakfast. Excellent service and great company with old friends.“

“Really amazing burger! I got the Hawaii Five-O burger without tomatoes and the grilled pineapple and onions were the perfect compliment to the bacon. And don't sleep on those seasoned fries. Perfection! These fries are the better, less greasy version of the fries we'd get from Rally Burger as a kid. I'm just glad this place is closer to my job than my house or I'd have some serious problems. ?“

“Terrific staff and innovative cuisine. Small local restaurant who worked hard to keep staff through the pandemic closures with delicious creative take out and who are keeping everyone safe by requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Fresh creative food.“

“Food is delicious and portions are generous. The beer selection covers a nice range of tastes and the off menu desserts are amazing. The ambiance outdoors is relaxing and refreshing with plenty of seating. The service is always warm and inviting. I wish I could buy one of the Brew t-shirts worn by the servers.“

“I love Fox's. The food is so amazing. The service an excellent. The waitress recommended a great dish. I also loved the ambiance. It definitely has a warm feel to it. The sauces are homemade. I would definitely go back. I am actually craving it right now. Might go back tomorrow now that I am thinking about it.“

“ITS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT,DRINK, AND LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC 5 DAYS A WEEK!!“

“Good music, good food and good drinks. The L.A. Jazz group is sensational!!!“

“Love the Copper Still Grill. You can get full on appetizers. I usually get shrimp and chicken wings. This time I was with a friend she got onion rings and they were the best. The staff r not really assigned to one table so they all pass by to check on you. Awesome place.“

“Delicious happy hour - the short rib tacos were delicious and the sliders were very solid. The alien pool party cocktails (not on the happy hour menu) are so stellar. Other good dishes include the dynamite tater tots and the Burrata and tomato salad.“

“Longitude 118 is a lovely and modern American for all-day dining at Le Méridien Pasadena Arcadia. I came here just for a reg coffee and butter croissant. Both were good. Atmosphere was very relaxing. Female staff is cute, amiable and professional. Prices were economically high. Service was on point.Overall, I had a good order experience. I recommend it.“

“Did not know this place existed. I've been to the driving range multiple times and this is the first time I see this place. Service is quick, food is good but the best thing is their beer prices! No better way to enjoy golfing than enjoy a nice cold draft beer with a view.“

“Family friendly and delicious! The service was great. Everyone was friendly and I came on a Sunday evening and there was someone making balloons for kids. My 3 year old loved it and the freshly squeezed orange juice. The food was great and I am kicking myself that I don’t come here often enough. This is definitely going to be a frequent place for my family after our visit. Highly recommend!“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“Really nice shop and experience! Came here with a few friends on a weekday morning and it was a little busy, and our food and coffee still came out within 10 minutes. I ordered the veggie breakfast burrito and enjoyed it so much!! The oat milk latte hot was also tasty. I would come back.“

“*YUM* is all I have to say!! We adore this place, and friends who have moved away always beg to go here for chicken when they come home to visit. The chicken falls off the bone, their fried tofu is to die for! ������. You cannot go wrong here! But pay attention to their hours. They close mid-day for a few hours.“

“I have been wanting to have lunch at this cute little cafe for a while. I couldn't wait to try the roasted chicken sandwich to see if it tasted half as good as it looked in the pictures. It was next level delicious! The bread was outstanding, the chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the burrata and pesto were perfect additions. The portion was generous with the highest quality ingredients. I am looking forward to coming back and trying another sandwich, but it might be hard not to order the roasted chicken again as it is now my new favorite sandwich ever!“

“We drive between Phoenix and Monterey Bay, Pasadena is an excellent half way stop. We have eaten here several times. We don’t go back to places we don’t enjoy. The happy hour is excellent! $3.99 cheeseburgers (not a huge burger, but perfect sized!), and a couple of bucks off of draft beers. We will be back!“

“As a Ben, I can genuinely say, this is my place. It’s exactly the food I want as a Ben. It’s the perfect balance of healthy and delicious ingredients, the perfect portion, perfect price range, and all of it is well sourced and nutritious. Ben created. Ben approved.“

“It was good. I had a grilled Chicken Sandwich came with a sell it very good. My friend had the. Fish-and-chips and the fish looked like they were nice portions. I can't tell you how much it was. Because I was treated this time. The only problem I can think of was that the menu text was so small. I couldn't read it without my reading glasses.“

“Was invited for a friend’s 50th birthday party recently. Great atmosphere,stylish interior, friendly and efficient servers, and awesome DJ’s spinning 80’s classic dance tunes!!!“

“Wonderful experience. I had the pick three tacos plate. I chose the brisket taco, pork Bahn Mi taco, and the beer batter fish taco. The appetizer of parmesan fries was delicious. And the PB&J Old Fashioned mixed drink was delicious. Will definitely be coming back to try more.“

“The barcade is a really cool place I give it 3rd place on my top arcade bars 1st being mini boss in sj and 2nd being coin op in sc only because while they did have a lot of game options some games could use some TLC and some unique drinks would be cool. Other than that it's clean and the staff is cool . Would definitely go back.“

“Place is cute and nicely decorated. Have tried a few of their dishes, no complaints. Didn't give a 5 star only because the parking really sucks. Frustrating to be driving around the street looking for parking. To top off signs everywhere your car will get towed, so you eat at your own risk. Mimosas and iced coffees are yummy. Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Ambience 4/5“

“This good-sized cafe is decorated so lively and a great spot for distraction-free meetups. It's not small, but it's not overly large either which gives it a nice cafe ambience with plenty of lovely green plant life. I ordered a cappuccino which was delicious! It had the perfect blend of coffee robustness with the milky creaminess. A truly well-crafted cup of coffee with a foam leaf design! My partner had a great matcha latte served in a fun glass tiki head cup. It had plenty of matcha flavor while not being overpoweringly so. The staff were very friendly and nice which always adds to a positive experience. I do want to mention that they did not have wifi. I don't think this is a negative, and it could be exactly what you need to focus on enjoying your present experience. We thought it was going to be more of a coffee shop to work from, so we needed to find another "coffee shop office" after finishing our drinks.“

“Had a really great dinner at Yard House before AGT! Me and my company were not from LA so we were very glad to pick Yard House before our main event that evening. Poke nachos were soooo good. As well as my main the sandwich with truffle fries. Drinks were amazing as well and would 100% come back here. The bar is most likely the highlight of yard house as it was long , glowing, and very welcoming. Drinks looked really good. Me and my company sat in a booth but it was worth the money spent included with the service , food , and atmosphere. Thanks yard house for a delicious meal before a big show!“

“I had SUCH a good experience here! A lovely small business to support rather than going to a Denny's or IHOP. The service was so great and it's a nice and homey restaurant. The food was SPECTACULAR. The crepes were so good I got an extra order to go! I've been eyeing this place ever since it opened and had no idea it got so lively in the mornings! It's a great place to take your family out to eat and their menu is quite large! We got the Paris Crepe Combo (w/eggs and bacon), Fresona Crepe, Jamaica Juice and Iced Blended coffee. I also ordered a paris crepe and hobo skillet to go and can attest to quality to-go orders as well as dine in! I will definitely be coming back here everytime I'm back in the area.“
