"Looking at Old Pasadena’s revival in the 1990s, Cafe Santorini fits perfectly: opened in 1993 by brothers Vasken and Panos Haitayan, the restaurant serves Mediterranean fare including traditional hummus, tabouleh, kibbe, kebabs, and entrees like grilled rib eye, salmon, and Moroccan-style lamb shank. When I go up to the second floor I notice the massive windows, restored brick walls, and one of the best patios in the neighborhood overlooking One Colorado plaza — it’s romantic any time of day but especially at night when candles and moody lights sparkle across the patio." - Eater Staff
