Local Experiances

We took the team to Il Fornaio, in Old Town Pasadena. It might not have been my first choice as it's a chain restaurant. Natalie Robles of their establishment convinced me otherwise when I was looking for a venue. Natalie arranged a nice private room and still allowed us to order off the menu. All of the food was excellent and absoultly save room for dessert...even if you think you are full, when that cart rolls in, it's tough to resist. The three course Prix Fixe menu is a great value at just under $30.00. Take a look at ilfornaio.com or give Natalie a call.

Another great local experiance is Mignon Chocolate just a block from the hotel on Holly Street. I was working on creating a custom Easter Basket and came upon them. Opened 76 years ago, to this day they still produce amazing hand made truffles & fine chocolates. Anoush was very accomodating and helped me find just the right items. Taste the chocolate with Sea Salt or the Chile infused dark chocolate and you will know what heaven feels like. Mignonchocolate.com will set you on the path to redemption, but walk there instead, then you will feel like you have earned a treat.
