Pez Coastal Kitchen

Restaurant · Downtown

"Lucy Thompson-Ramirez and her husband-chef Bret Thompson debuted their spacious seafood haven in early 2024. Thompson secures some of Pasadena’s freshest catch of the day along with smoked meats and dry-aged fish prepared on-site. A pleasant dining room colored in white and turquoise eases the mind as servers deliver scallop aguachile shooters, homemade pasta like the spaghetti alla chitarra with Manila clams, and ribeye with salsa verde to each table." - Mona Holmes
