Arroyo Chop House - Pasadena (CA)

4 /5 J J: The atmosphere and the lobster mashed potatoes are really good. Mash the lobster mashed potatoes have really good flavor. The atmosphere was very elegant. I ended up getting the petite filet mignon and it could have used a little bit more flavor but overall it was good. The service was great. The prices were typical for an upscale restaurant. The drinks were nice and strong.

5 /5 Larry Teran: We had an amazing time celebrating my wifes birthday, atmosphere was great, plenty of work Christmas celebrations going on. We had made reservations and despite being busy we were seated right away. The service was good but our waiter was a little to pushy on trying to order things we didnt want, forgot our drinks during our appetizer course and just seemed a bit up in the clouds at time. Overall the decorations, the piano player and vibes were very pleasant. Dinner was amazing and definitely recommend this place. Definitely going back as the food selection is worth going back.

5 /5 Laura Coffey: The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. We shared several sides and not one missed the mark. The truffle mac and cheese was rich without being heavy. The garlic mashed potatoes were velvety smooth. The Brussels sprouts had just the right char with crispy bacon for balance. Even the asparagus had a nice snap and vibrant flavor. The garlic sourdough bread came out warm and fresh, and I started with an espresso martini that was spot on. Our server, Christopher, was exceptional. He recommended a beautiful glass of Cabernet that paired perfectly with the steak. He was attentive without being overbearing and really elevated the experience. For dessert, we had the chocolate soufflé and they surprised me with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and raspberry drizzle to celebrate. A thoughtful touch! The service, ambiance, and food were all on point. Whether you’re celebrating or just craving a great steakhouse experience, this is one of those places worth coming back to. Easily five stars.

5 /5 Vanessa Machuca: Such good wagyu 8+ steak! One of the best steaks i ever had actually. My husband ordered the chicken which was also soo delicious! We went to celebrate a birthday and we were provided chocolate raspberry cake, also great! We will definitely be coming back.
