Parkway Grill

Parkway Grill in Pasadena is such a wonderful restaurant and I have been dining here many times over the years, usually for special occasions. Last night did not disappoint as the room was appropriately decorated for the holidays which added to the always delightful ambiance.Beginning with valet parking (I know this is a minor detail... but one attendant opens the driver's side door while a different attendant opens the passenger side.) Just a nice touch.From the warm greeting by the host who brings you to your table to the servers and food runners, everything is perfectly choreographed. We each had specialty cocktails (the Herradura Margarita served up is especially good) as well as the variety bread basket definitely worth the upcharge. Followed with a Parkway Caesar with white Tuscan anchovies (one order split), a Saturday special Linguine pasta with steak, button mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes, scallops with lobster crusted potatoes, a glass of Rose and a glass of Riesling, Creme Brulee Napoleon with Phyllo squares filled with vanilla bean custard over a caramel sauce and some French Press coffee with the dessert.Everything was wonderful. And my good friend who had never been here before, really enjoyed celebrating his 24th birthday at Parkway Grill.

Great food with lots of if different choices not just steak house menu. Service is the best , we been several times and all of the waiters are wonderful , Omar & Edward are top notch waiters . Ambience is one of the best in town.

OYSTERS & OLD FASHIONSThe ambiance and lighting here is nice, you feel transported to a classy steakhouse in Chicago. Our server was attentive and always came back to refill our drinks. Prices very reasonable for an upscale restaurant. Oysters were fresh and delicious! Hamachi Crudo appetizer too! Short rib dinner, scallops and their pepperoni pizza also very tasty. Dessert get their crème brulee napolean its sooooo good! Crispy flakey pastry puffs with the creamy cold napolean. We couldn't find a sitter and had to drag our double stroller with our two kids. Thankfully they were sleeping and the staff were kind and allowed us to park it at our table lol. I'll be back again!

I unfortunately do not have any pictures from my experience last night, and although that doesn't make me the best Yelp Elite Member, I want to start off by saying that the experience surpassed my expectations. Yes, the food was impeccable (scallops with polenta and spinach, Basil Martini, bread basket, filet mignon, pepperoni pizza) but what cannot be captured on photo is how well my party and I were treated from beginning to end. Since this was my first time, my impression of my experience is vivid and memorable. A special shoutout to Katia who was our excellent waiter, & Erica-- an exceptional manager who went above and beyond to make sure all went well.

Trip Advisor lists Parkway Grill as one of the best fine dining restaurants in Pasadena. Since 1984, they have been consistency holding on to that title. The food is quite good and the service stands up. Also on the same grounds is the Royal Chop House, owned by the same company. With some time to kill, I flipped a coin. The choice was Parkway Grill.Sitting at the bar I ordered Crab Cakes, Charred Broccolini and a Petite Filet. The food was nicely prepared and the meal was great. The Crab Cakes were not greasy, the Broccolini was not soggy, and the Filet was a perfect medium rare. My server Nas was very friendly, and he made a couple of great drink recommendations. He has been working at Parkway since 1986, so he spoke with authority. Overall, the Parkway Grill has a very good product. However, I would like to see this place get a bit of a facelift. They opened in 1984, and the decor reflects that. Some minor changes would make a huge difference (the hanging lamps and the 'office club chairs'). But that's just my opinion. At the end of the day, the service and the food are what is important, and they excel at both. Also, there are no stupid hidden fess added to the bill. Definitely worth a visit.

Parkway Grill is such a fave. The food is sinful, the drinks are dangerous, the venue is clean and the staff's attention to detail is incredible. My bestie had such an amazing time celebrating her birthday. Everything was beautifully plated and presented. The shrimp tempura on a stick is a must try if you've never been! The steak, the mash potatoes, and the espresso martini for dessert was everything. The dessert trio for the birthday girl was perfect for the photo! Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my besties birthday!

We came here to celebrate a special occasion. I ordered a rockin Rosie cocktail that looked really good and tasted amazing! It's sweet and romantic. My boyfriend had the modified mojito. For starters, we ordered the hamachi appetizer, it was so fresh, tasty and refreshing. Just enough to kickstart our appetite. We shared the aged angus steak, it's a 16 oz piece, we even had left over. The meat was so juicy and the first bite melted in the mouth, so heavenly. We paired the steak with side sweet pea and potatoes. The whole meal was fantastic. Parkway Grill never disappoints. It has a romantic and comfy vibe. The food is always consistent and the service is superb. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant filled up quite quickly. There was live music with the pianist playing jazzy music in the background. What a wonderful and pampered evening.

Very Demure, Very Mindful little ole me had a cute little happy hour date (with myself) at Parkway grill.Arrived here around 6pm and came off the heels of a lovely afternoon in Pasadena. I had spend the afternoon at some other nice places like Nicks and Sorriso and wanted to continue the classy vibe so landed here for happy hour. I headed straight to the bar and had a great time.To drink, I had the french 75, super delicious, but it prompted me to get some food too. I opted for the lamb and they were very good.I spent about an hour enjoying my own company, talking to patrons at the bar and then headed out.This is the type of place to bring a date or a friend to impress. Very cute, Very classy, totally up my alley.

Parkway Grill proved to be an exquisite choice for a romantic evening out. From the moment we were greeted by our server and introduced to the weekly specials, we knew we were in for a treat. Opting for the bone-in prime rib, lamb chop, mushrooms, potato, and crème brûlée, each dish surpassed our expectations. The server's recommendation of the old fashioned from their extensive whiskey selection was spot on.Every bite was a culinary delight, with both the steak and lamb cooked to a perfect medium rare and bursting with flavor. Notably, the lamb lacked any undesirable odors, and the seasoning elevated the taste to new heights. The crispy exterior of the potato was a delightful surprise, adding a satisfying crunch to each forkful. Portions were generous, making sharing a breeze.Our choice of drinks, including the margarita and old fashioned, showcased Parkway Grill's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The whiskey, in particular, stood out for its rich aroma and smooth finish.The ambiance of Parkway Grill was ideal for a romantic evening, with dim lighting creating an intimate atmosphere. Whether you're on a date or simply craving a memorable dining experience, Parkway Grill comes highly recommended.

We celebrated our 28th anniversary and had a great time. This is our "go-to" place for special occasions. Our server, Anna, was very attentive and accommodating. My wife's menu choices were all delicious and pleasing to her. I ordered the deep fried catfish. It was perfectly cooked and more than scrumptious!!!We enjoyed a nice meal and were treated to a dessert to top off our anniversary meal. We will definitely be back.
