El Sereno​の高級料理店

Second time here. Service excellent. Food is anesthetically pleasing and better to the taste buds! One of my top Thai-fusion restaurants in Pasadena. Classy, dimly lit and refreshing restaurant with beautiful outdoor patio seating as well.

Such a nice brunch! We were seated out by the fireplace and it was perfect. Food was great, service was great, ambiance - so festive! Highlight of the season.

Splendid experience all around! Our server, Alex, was lovely. Our food was presented so beautifully. My friend and I had a lovely time dining & catching up before we went to see a show across the street. It was just such a divine experience that I am planning to take others back to San Laurel.  The only problem was that my mocktail was made with alcohol. I don’t drink because I’m sober so it was very concerning that such an error occurred. That’s never happened in all my years of ordering mocktails at other fine establishments. After two sips and having my friend try it, I was convinced that there was indeed tequila added to my lime-based drink so I asked the waiter about it and he quickly whisked it away and brought me a true mocktail that tasted of citrus and definitely had no alcohol in it. That was a weird experience. The evening ended on a great note with a surprise complementary flan dessert for my friend’s birthday that included a candle and song-a very nice touch. Of special note is that the chef is actually accommodating to guests’ dietary sensitivities such as the need for gluten and dairy free ingredients. Such a breath of fresh air since other fine dining spots don’t usually like to make such modifications to their menu items. It was very much appreciated by this diner. Thank you San Laurel!

Food was high quality, fresh and light. Service was above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back.

Stunning dishes made from fresh local ingredients. Our fish entrees were perfect paired with a side of snap peas that were themselves an experience.
