Cam Carter As a public figure constantly bouncing between projects, cities, and studios, finding a space that blends luxury, peace, and true hospitality is rare. But Kaviar in Pasadena is just that — a gem. From the moment you walk in, the energy is refined, welcoming, and effortlessly elevated. Tigran, the owner, is not just running a restaurant — he’s curating a sanctuary. You feel like family the second you’re greeted, and that warmth carries through every detail — from the ambient lighting to the intentional design of the space. Whether it’s a romantic date night, a private solo dinner between business calls, or a quiet celebration of something personal — Kaviar adapts to your moment. The vibe is intimate, yet powerful. Exclusive, but never pretentious. Let’s talk food — because this is world-class cuisine. The Kaluga caviar dishes are handcrafted with an attention to detail that you can taste. Every bite feels sacred. Their fish plates are pristine, the sushi is cut and served with precision and soul, and the A5 Wagyu? Let’s just say it melts like a whispered secret. Kaviar wasn’t just voted Best Sushi in Pasadena — it earned that title with consistent excellence, a passionate team, and a vision that sets a new standard for what dining out can feel like. To Tigran and the entire Kaviar family — thank you. You’ve built more than a restaurant. You’ve built an experience. I’ll be back again and again. — Cam Carter

ezcheezbugga I’ve never had Kotori before so I was so happy to find out the food they serve is absolutely delicious! The Calexico and California roll were tasty. And the torikatsu plate was also super good and came with a lot of food! The staff was super pleasant and I will for sure be coming back : )

Frank 8 Dec 2025: Lure had a miss tonight. Oysters were again good, cocktail could have been done better, but the Ciopinno was a big miss. Scallops were done nicely, but the rest seemed a bit dry. And the sauce was both lacking in typical volume, had no special flavor, and was very oversalted. So neither the chef nor sous chef tasted it. 4 Aug 2025 review: Always great. Luca at the bar very personable. Oysters were great. Ciopinno always great. Key lime pie fantastic (like tartness and less cheesecake like than others, and a nicely crumbling crust; a Luca recommendation). Will be coming back again.

B T A hole in the wall, but a must try! Best Khao Soy I’ve had in the States. It closely resembles the famous northern Thai Khaosoy dish. Noodles are a bit different, but flavor of the rich coconut curry broth is there.

Michelle Rasmussen We have been eating at Asian Garden for 20+ years when we visit family in Grass Valley and its always great. The Mu Shu pork, Sweet & Sour pork and War Wonton soup are our regulars and are delicious! The portions are generous, the prices are fair and the service is spot on.

janet benjamin Le Chalet Basque is one of our favorite venues in Marin County. We have been dining there for many years. The staff is warm and friendly and the food is always delicious.....the potions are generous. It is a nice find, tucked away from the busy streets. The restaurant location makes you feel you are out in the country. Its European charm is one of a kind in Marin County. Janet Benjamin
