Los mejores restaurantes para una cita romántica en Duarte

We arrived at the restaurant on a very busy evening. We got there early but only had to wait a few minutes and were seated before our reservation time. The waiter we had was very attentive. The food was delicious. We shared a wedge salad that they split for us that was still a good sized portion. The main courses were so good and big portions, we all took doggie bags. It was my husbands Birthday and the waiter brought us a complimentary Baked Alaska which she lit at the table, nice presentation. I would recommend for a special occasion, they know how to do it right.

Le Grand in Pasadena provided an unforgettable dining experience on Christmas Eve. From the cozy atmosphere to the festive holiday spirit, everything was perfectly curated for a special night out. We started with the buffalo chicken wings, which were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and tangy flavor an absolute crowd-pleaser. The espresso pork ribs stole the show with their tender texture and a unique smoky-sweet glaze that was incredibly addictive. The Elote was a delightful twist on a classic, with charred corn, creamy toppings, and just a hint of spice that made it irresistible. The pesto ravioli was rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented—an indulgent treat that rounded out the meal perfectly. The drinks were just as impressive. The hibiscus margaritas were vibrant, refreshing, and expertly balanced a wonderful festive cocktail that paired seamlessly with the bold flavors of the food. The service was exceptional, with the staff attentive and eager to make the evening memorable. Le Grand truly knows how to combine incredible food, drinks, and ambiance into a one-of-a-kind experience. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy an incredible meal, Le Grand is a must-visit. Their tapas and drinks made our Christmas Eve extraordinary, and we can’t wait to return!

Rately do I post a glowing review of restaurants, but @nikuxla will be getting one. From host, server (thank you, Wilson), to details: A+ King crab 🦀 legs were so fresh, that when you pulled the shell from on end, the crab meat slides off the shell of the other. We were most impressed by the Wagyu Udon, which had the exact Al Dente texture and taste, with the coated level of wagyu meat sauce around the veggies, noodles, and overall. Serving was correct for 2 people per order. Would have loved to have tried the fresh scallops (which were not available upon our visit). But the lobsters were adequate to adjust our attention, along with the King crab and Snow crab legs. Sashimi was constantly being topped off, and the ponzu and soy were good quality. The toro and hamachi were good quality cuts, and not veiny. Wagyu Japan and American options were a variety of 5 different choices. We were impressed with the quality. We also tried the Chilean sea bass (not hugely impressed), the Miso Corn (very good), Wagyu Black Pepper Don (average), but our Lamb Lollipop Katsu was our chef cooked favorite. Wilson was excellent. He provided us with a special cheesecake that was not available to the public, and we will definitely return for this reason. Thank you. Overall for the $99 price tag, we would consider returning. Our experience was the day before Xmas. I specifically requested a table with a grill, and was provided exactly the table. Would not ask for more. We will return. Thank you again.

Great chef lots of variety and excellent service our favorite spot also fair prices

The music was very loud. It was very hard to talk while at the restaurant.
