My Review by HairPhd via Citysearch on 10/21/2012
Great place for a date night or a large party. The wait staff is gracious, attentive as if you are a special guest at their house. The taste of the foods are creative and can I just say yummy!. Try the filet, great quality and preparation.…
Seriously, WOW. by Charlie B via Insider Pages on 1/28/2010
A charming and romantic restaurant hidden on a side street in Pasadena...superb service, exquisite food. Orgasm of the mouth. The best steaks I've ever had. I'll repeat that, for those of you who are hard of hearing: the best steaks I…
BEWARE! by jeaniejeans via Citysearch on 7/5/2009
the owner mixes the leftover wine and liquor at the end of the night and sells is back.
Horrified by jennyfromtheblock24 via Citysearch on 11/27/2008
Went to Bistro 45 based on the reviews on here and never even made it to the table.\r
We were sitting at the bar waiting for the rest of our party enjoying a glass of wine when something happened.\r
A gray haired waiter with a mustache…
Good food from starters to desserts! by cjoe via Citysearch on 9/16/2007
It was our first time at this restaurant, so we didn't know what to expect besides a little higher bill. We had to wait about 10 minutes, which wasn't too bad even though we had reservations. The ambience was pleasant, but a little on…
Great service, great food. by gks via Citysearch on 8/6/2007
We really enjoyed ourselves here. A party of 4 very picky eaters and everyone loved their dishes (I had the scallops and thought they were great - and the risotto with them was wonderful...oh, and the chocolate soup was scrumptious), and…
MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD RESTAURANT by antnana via Citysearch on 6/24/2007
How do you describe perfection? Bistro 45.\r
What an adorable off the beaten path treasure.\r
Very attentive staff and the food, excellent. Presentation, setting, (the outdoor patio is lovely). It was a wonderful time.\r
If the world…
Great food, atmosphere, and staff! by valleyval via Citysearch on 5/13/2007
We had read all of the glowing reviews for Bistro 45 and just had to check it out ourselves. The building is absolutely adorable, a tiny Art Deco gem on otherwise quiet Mentor Avenue. Valet parking available at what I consider to be a…
astro bistro... by jo_se via Citysearch on 5/10/2007
I decided after three visits that I was gonna visit this place 45 times this year. So far I'm 11 visits and it's already May, I better get a move on...my best advice for Bistro 45 is go, enjoy the food, and leave the numerical shenanigans…
You will not be disapointed! by amyjohnsonpd via Citysearch on 2/2/2007
Me and my husband feel so lucky that we found this Amazing place. It is by far our favorite restaurant. It is quite reasonable for such great food. We have never had a bad, or even mediocre meal here, and we come for every special…
Service Above and Beyond by tibojo via Citysearch on 12/9/2006
My Girlfriend and I called last minute on a Saturday night for a table and despite the fact that the restaurant was closed for a private party they set up a special area for us. Unfortunately, we finished our meal at the same time the…
Great service, amazing food, friendly atmosphere by dmenkes via Citysearch on 10/26/2006
I'm starting to make the rounds around the higher-end restaurants of Pasadena. Though I'm not a local, I come to the area every once in a while and like to try something new. Last night, it was time to try Bistro 45.\r

In a quaint…
Great service, Great food, nice, quiet ambiance by burumun via Citysearch on 10/26/2006
The food here was very good and you get great service from the maitre'd who is also very knowledgeable.\r
They even keep your sparkling water bottle cold for you!
Wonderful! by idea via Citysearch on 9/28/2006
Having seen and heard about the restaurant for quite some time, I was pleased that it was participating in the San Pellegrino Dine Out, which offered prix fixe meals for $35. \r

From the time we called in for last minute reservations…
A Perfect Evening by wrtrchk via Citysearch on 8/19/2006
We celebrated our 25th anniversary here with seven friends and it was perfect. Every course was outstanding. I particularly recommend the scallops, and you must save room for one of the incredible desserts such as chocolate soup. The wine…
French-Californian Fare at its Finest by candilion via Citysearch on 7/4/2006
You will be extremely satisfied after your dining experience at Bistro 45... it's unassuming from the outside, situated among run-of-the-mill buildings on a side street in Pasadena, but the ambience and food inside is anything but…
Wow! Truly amazing food. by mala3533 via Citysearch on 2/26/2006
My husband and I ate at Bistro 45 for the first time this evening. We were initially skeptical because the only table we could get was the one in the front room near the bar. However, this turned out not to be a problem. In fact, it was…

The Scene
A small, jewel-like Deco building on a quiet Old Pasadena street unfolds a series of three intimate, connected dining rooms tastefully adorned with champagne wallpaper, French silk lanterns, landscape paintings and…
