Smitty's Grill

My wife had brought me here for the first time 8 yrs ago when I retired and we've come back several times throughout the years.We love the decor. The booths are comfortable, and the food is great and the service is always second to none!Whether its for a casual dinner or a special occasion, as it was on Wed, Feb 19,2025. Our friend was retiring and we couldn't think of a better place to help her celebrate than Smitty's Grill.Our new retiree loved the' Congratulatory' card and complimentary dessert she received from our waiter/ waitress for her retirement!Thanks for making the night a memorable one!See you soon!

Though we were a bit young for the Smitty's crowd, we loved our dinner here. The service was excellent- available for every need, but not intrusive. The wine list was well-curated. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and the artichoke appetizer was a highlight. I recommend the key lime pie!

Excellent foodTerrific servicePleasant settinggreat valet serviceWill be returning soon

Excellent Ambiance, Excellent dinner, amazing service. Highly recommend this Gem on Lake Ave. in Pasadena. If you are into dim lighting, moody ambiance with flowing drinks this spot is for you. Iconic location in Pasadena with an old school feel. Had the Flat Iron Steak special with mashed potato's and asparagus with a peppercorn sauce 10/10! Amazing salmon salad, Crispy Fried Chicken sandwich and chefs choice dessert raspberry chocolate truffle cake 10/10. I'm drooling writing this review. So great, thank you Smittys. :-)

Great customer service delicious food accommodating staff with last minute reservations. My son loved the restaurant and excited to go back next time we are in the area. Lovely ambiance.

After a great afternoon at the Pasadena Playhouse, I had made reservations for Smitty's months ago. We all LOVED this restuarant!!! Casey our server couldn't have been more attentive, informative about the various dishes and terrific. We all had glasses of wine that were wonderful. Each one of us ordered the perfect dinners, and were amazed that athere was no issues whatsoever and my Chicken Piccata was exceptional.Smitty's was decorated for the holidays with garland and it felt so festive as we had a raised booth and all of us were able to see the full dining room. I picked the best restaurant to enjoy a wonderful dinner with my friends before heading back home to OC. Highly recommend Smitty's!

Yes. I ordered the sautéed spinach with shallots and sourdough bread with butter. I believe I ordered it on 2/13 around 5:30 pm.

My husband and I bought ourselves a Smitty's gift certificate for the holidays for several hundred dollars that we could use for weekends out. This is our second year to do this. Last year we loved it but this year the service has noticeably declined. Food is very good still. Ambiance is still nice. This last weekend the bus boy didn't speak to us. He cleared the table like he was at a diner (with plates stacked up including what we had wanted to take home). We didn't want to eat the leftovers after seeing them piled up with all the plates. Not appealing. He offered to get us a second bottled water but never delivered it. Then offered the second bottle again just before we left. We saw our server twice. No menus given to us when seated. Strange. We just wanted to leave. We've been going to Smitty's for at least 2 decades. Disappointing. Must mention the host though. He was very attentive.

The food, staff and old world ambiance make this a special place. It's on my must return when I am in Pasadena and when you come you'll understand why.
