We passed by PEZ and were drawn in by the restaurant’s lovely ambiance, so we decided to walk in. We ordered oysters, seafood pasta, scallops, and dessert — everything was delicious, no misses at all. The dessert, a citrus olive oil cake, was especially unique with its refreshing sweet and tangy flavor. The elderly gentleman who served us was very attentive and kind. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with plenty of comfortable sofa seating. Overall, we were very satisfied — it’s a great spot for a date or a casual hangout with friends.

Pez Coastal Kitchen absolutely nailed their New Year’s Eve special & our experience there overall. Not only were they able to squeeze my family in, to include one toddler, the staff was warm and welcoming and the food was absolutely phenomenal. A really nice touch was the owner/chef visiting our table personally to check in on us! Incredible food, great hospitality, and a fantastic way to ring in the New Year. Highly recommend overall, definitely save this to your “To-Go” list!!

This is a beautiful restaurant with a modern tropical ambiance. I’ve enjoyed their food from Happy Hour to dinner as well as for brunch and Dine LA. The food is delicious and nicely prepared. The dinner plate presentation can be a little busy. I do not recommend ordering the seafood tower though; the lobster and crab were overcooked and quite chewy.
Overall, dining here is a great experience! Kudos to Chef Brett!

This is one of our favorites in Old Town Pasadena. It just happened to be our wedding anniversary, so we popped in for dinner. The dishes are creative and different but super delicious! Love that the chef is always creating something new and e eclectic. Never a bad meal. Service is wonderful. The ambiance is amazing!

We had a fantastic birthday dinner here on Sunday, after calling and speaking directly with Bret the owner/chef. He was friendly, attentive, helpful, communicative, and accommodating. Our large party of 15 enjoyed every moment and all the food and drinks! Grateful for this restaurant and recommend. GET THE RIBS. and the Brussels sprouts, ceviche, sweet potatoes, Caesar salad, everything was a hit. Also, it’s beautiful in there.

New restaurant in Old Town Pasadena. Used to be the old Slater 50/50. Decor was cute!
It’s the second Saturday being open. Almost brand spanking new. Which explains the feeling of not being as polish in decor or service.
Service was friendly enough. Foodwise, plating was photogenic. Taste wise, it was alright. Nothing mind-blowing or memorable. I think it’s likely because it’s a new restaurant and they are still finding their rhythm
**Came back on 5/1/2024. Service was more polished, and decor was more put together. Enjoyed the experience.

I’m not sure how anyone in their right mind would satisfied paying $48 for 3 ‘jumbo’ scallops (they were not jumbo but at least had some nice color), on a bed of risotto, with 3 heads of broccoli (not broccolini as stated on menu). This is apparently one of their signature dishes, and was even recommended by the bartender.

I visited Pez Coastal Kitchen in Pasadena and is a great spot for fresh seafood. The ambiance is casual yet vibrant, and the dishes are flavorful, especially the fish tacos. Friendly service and a relaxing vibe. Definitely recommended.

Love this place, pleasant spacious interior. Thoughtful bar program, delicious N/A options. Caesar salad is delicious – anchovy heavy, which I love. Dry-aged ceviche needs more fish. That’s my only complaint. I had sea bass prepared in a German inspired style with sauerkraut, pan fried sausage, and potatoes. It was delicious!

**we have been back twice since our first visit. The service was slower both times, plan for a long meal if you do the prix fixe. The food was decent but not as great as before, and there was a strange smell by our window table near the live music. Will still be back but might not do the prix fixe menu.
Visited Pez Coastal for a birthday dinner and everything was excellent! Grace was our server and was very nice. Food was delicious, they recommend ordering everything at once and they course it for you. Started with the seafood tower which is great for seafood lovers. It can serve four people easily as an appetizer. My favorite part was the agua chile scallops. The Caesar salad was delish and can be shared between 2-3 people. Ordered the whole fried fish and chose the sea bream, served with a piccata sauce that was so good. Chef/owner came out to see how we were enjoying everything, the manager checked in with us too. Overall very attentive staff, and delicious food. The potatoes gratin were fire, too. Cocktails were decent, with a nice variety to choose from. We ordered a bottle of white wine from Hungary that was a nice recommendation. We will be back!
