Great food. From fish to cheese to meats it was great all around. The service was great. One problem was my main course came out first and my wife and sons came out almost 30 minutes later. I had finished mine by the time theirs came. Bad form. The atmosphere was awesome. It’s essentially a house. All the rooms and outside area are converted tables.

Food: The calamari was good, it was little bit too spicy for me, and the rice paper was a little oily but still yummy. The bread and butters were great, they swap out the flavors every day, and we had smoked cheddar and cranberry orange, I really enjoyed the cranberry orange one, it was bright and sweet and buttery. The kale salad was also good , the perfect dressing and the perfect toppings. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and it was very flavorful. The chimichurri was delicious and very fresh tasting. The Mac n cheese was good, but needed a better cheesy flavor, it was a little creamy and not cheesy. We had three desserts, the lemon dessert, the chocolate pot de crème, and the chocolate bread pudding. The pot de crème base was great, rich and creamy, but the olive oil sea salt in the whipped cream didn’t hit the mark. It threw off the flavor for me. The bread pudding was great, I think that because the chef used fresh bread not stale bread it elevated it to a new level. I’m not a big bread pudding fan but this was good. The lemon dessert was the best of them all, the perfect tartness, and it was silky smooth and just melted away in your mouth. The blueberry sauce was just divine and a beautiful color.
Service: Our server, Ginger, was great, she was kind and helped us with some items on the menu. The food came out so fast, she hadn’t even left our table yet and the salad was at our table.
Atmosphere: I thought it was cute and cozy. We sat outside and the light that came in was beautiful. It was perfect for when the sun was setting because it wasn’t too warm, and if it got cold they had heaters.
Overall: Great food, great atmosphere! I recommend!

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.
We love coming to The Raymond! My husband and I split the tagliatelle pasta and the rib eye steak before heading to my company Christmas party.
It was just the right amount of food and everything was excellent. Service was prompt and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate.
We love supporting local businesses, so this place is a staple on our list.

Honestly really disappointed in this place. I had to ask countless times for everything including water, and he was extremely inattentive. The food was extremely overpriced for the tiny portions and frankly the food was not good. We were freezing the whole night and they decided to turn on the heaters right when we were leaving? Like the rest of the night, when we asked for the check, it took us asking multiple people for the server to bring out the check which was done through a device he had on him the whole time? Also tip was included so I couldn’t even let that reflect how poorly I thought of the service and the food. Avoid this place

We came here for Dine LA because of the high Google reviews, but unfortunately, our experience didn’t match the expectations. The food was served cold and lacked flavor. Service was slow across the board, from ordering to receiving our dishes. Valet parking was also very inefficient—we waited about 30 minutes just to get our car. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

This was a Valentine’s packaged dinner and the total cost was nearly $500. I would not return and I would not recommend.
Ultimately, the atmosphere was freezing as there were not enough outdoor heaters. The outdoor seating was very uncomfortable. Normally I wouldn’t mind but because the full dinner service took nearly three hours; my back was hurting by the end. Please invest in upgrading or adding cushioning to the patio/slat style wooden chairs.
Despite setting a reservation, we still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated as EVERYONE had a reservation. The front of the house, waiter, and staff tried their best to be accommodating – no faults to the people working.
The food was lackluster and mostly cold. The Wagyu steak was received beyond well-done instead of medium rare, desert order received was incorrect despite being assured by the waiter twice that we received the correct desert.
Poor environment and dissatisfying food made it difficult to enjoy this experience. The price suggested a better, quieter, more intimate environment with top-tier food. I would not return and I would not recommend.

We had brunch at The Raymond on a Sunday before going to the Pasadena Showcase House event. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was classy and nostalgic, and the food was tasty. I highly recommend the cocktails, I had the Old Fashioned. If you’re with a group, definitely get the pastry board which is a sampling of all of the pastries that they offer. The Short Rib tacos were very tasty. Everyone on my party enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere, go check it out!

We had a really wonderful night here. Our reservation was for 10 PM, but we showed up a bit early—around 9:15—without realizing the kitchen had already closed. Still, the staff was incredibly kind and went out of their way to seat and serve us anyway, which honestly made our night.
The food was amazing. We had the crudo, salmon, tagliatelle, and semifreddo for dessert—every dish was delicious and clearly made with care. The flavors were spot on and everything was beautifully presented.
On top of that, the service was just exceptional. Friendly, attentive, and never rushed, even though we were there so late. The space itself is also beautiful—really warm and cozy with a touch of elegance.
We left super happy and will definitely be coming back soon. Big thanks to the team at The Raymond for making it such a great night!

The Raymond 1886 is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Pasadena! This place is absolutely stunning – the historic Craftsman cottage setting is pure magic, especially if you snag a table on the patio surrounded by all that gorgeous greenery.
The food? Phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The seasonal menu really showcases fresh, quality ingredients, and you can taste the care that goes into every bite. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and gave spot-on recommendations.
The cocktails deserve their own shoutout – creative, perfectly balanced, and Instagram-worthy. The bartenders clearly know their craft!
What really sets The Raymond apart is the atmosphere. It manages to feel both elegant and comfortable at the same time. Perfect for a special occasion, but you won’t feel out of place if you’re just celebrating making it through the week.
Yes, it’s pricier than your average spot, but the experience is absolutely worth it. From the impeccable service to the dreamy ambiance to the incredible food, everything comes together perfectly. The Raymond 1886 isn’t just dinner – it’s an experience. Can’t wait to go back!

One of the coolest looking restaurants within a converted home that retains the charm with a quirky feel.
The used to be one of our favorite spots for some creative, delicious food and craft cocktails, but they’ve just slide into complacency both in the kitchen and with their service. After this visit, we probably won’t go back. The inconsistency from the kitchen and attitude from hosts to poorly trained servers is frustrating, to say the least.
We reserved an indoor table but were taken to an outdoor table when we arrived. It was a chilly night with no heaters near our table, so my wife objected and asked if we could be seated indoors, as requested. The host told us to wait and he disappeared inside. A few moments later he stepped out of the door and he waived to us to come in – zero professionalism but at least he moved us – and proceeded to seat us right in front of an open door to their back patio in a room that also had a huge window that was open. I had to get a jacket from the car for my wife. I understand space constraints, but it’s still annoying. Anyway, we were fine there but she had to wear her jacket while dining.
Ordered drinks, a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned. Both were very good. Later with my entree, I got a nice glass of Pinot.
For apps, we ordered a Tuna Crispy Rice and a Rainbow Crudo. Tuna was great, Crudo was fresh and the fish was good, but the presentation looked like a mess on the plate. It was just a pile of fish sliced like sashimi. Whatever, not a major issue, rather just lazy and not what I’d expect from a decent kitchen.
For entrees, I had the horseradish crusted salmon which was good, but not nearly as good as it’s been on past visits. My wife had the bison burger and requested medium rare and got a nearly well-done burger. Since our waiter had disappeared, it took a while for her to get his attention. When she did, he said he’d get the manager. Over ten minutes passed before the manager shows up and he apologized, but said it looked like I was done and it was probably too late to do something else. We agreed and just asked for the check. His lackadaisical attitude told me that this happens a lot.
The waiter proudly told me that he’d removed the burger from the check, which I told him was the absolute least he could do, and he then graciously removed the glass of wine from the bill, too.
It was super disappointing and sadly appears to be a trend here. I have mentioned our experience to a few friends and they all agreed with one with one saying to me that after a completely terrible brunch experience she had, her family won’t ever be going back.
It’s sad, because this used to be an absolute gem and is now a bit of a joke.
