Cafe Santorini

I’ve been here 3 times, and each was a great experience. Reservations were made, and I’ve always been seated promptly at the table indoor or outdoor of my preference. Among many of the dishes, I personally enjoy the lamb entree alongside the phenomenal grape leaves and bruschetta. Service was great as well.

Hands down one of the best classy restaurants my wife and I have gone to. Let’s start by reviewing the cilantro based chicken pasta. Hands down of the of the most surprising dishes I didn’t know I’d enjoy as much as I did. They mixed just the right amount of cilantro in the dish to make it pop. The chicken was cooked to perfection! Moist and tender, every bite was a treat. The caprese salad was also hands down the best I’ve had. The balsamic was drizzled just enough to please the pallet. I’ve gone here plenty of times and it never fails to exceed my expectations. Staff here is great! My wife and I also love the ambiance 😊

Delicious as always. We had a delicious appetizer plate with olives, feta cheese, cucumber etc. It was perfect. I had the seafood risotto and my relatives had cioppino and a shrimp dish. All wonderful. For dessert we had flourless chocolate cake. Everyone was happy. The service and seating on the balcony were great. Try it.

What a gem we found while we were "hangrily" looking around Pasadena for good food after our stroll in the Huntington Library! Here's what we had: Fried Pacific Smelt Grilled Calamari Santorini Lamb Souvlaki Grilled Beef Brochette Red Curry Risotto with Seafood All were very good but I loved the Grilled Calamari and Grilled Beef Brochette the most! The service was fast and the ambience good so all in all the experience was great! The prices are fair but more on the expensive side since it eres on the fine dining vibe. A couple of negatives I have though is that 1. We had trouble finding entrance to the restaurant. It seems like there is some renovations happening in the building. 2. It's not accessible to strollers/wheelchairs. We had a baby stroller with us so we had to fold it and carry it up the long stairs to get into the restaurant. 3. The washroom is accessible by going down the stairs, going outside and into an adjacent unit. It may be that the restaurant is under renovation or that they are expanding since it seems they have outdoor dining by the sidewalk at a certain time. Overall, I would have given 5 stars had it been that the place was easily accessible to the public and for strollers/wheelchairs (they have a sign in one of their doors for access but we tried it and we were unable to enter through it). If you want some great dining experience and great food and you don't need wheelchair/stroller access, then this is a restaurant worth a try if you're by Pasadena!
