"Agnes makes the ultimate dessert mashup — campfire s’mores inspired by the now-defunct and iconic Choco Taco. Fans of this frozen dessert will enjoy encountering a sweet and crisp waffle shell filled with chocolate mousse and toasted marshmallow — all of it blowtorched to caramelized perfection. Enjoy this sweet treat in Agnes’ spacious dining room or bar in Old Town Pasadena." - Eater Staff
"Every time we walk through Agnes’s massive barn doors on Green St., we’re hit with a sudden wave of bucolic euphoria. There’s a full market and cheesery up front, an open hearth loaded with sizzling meats in back, and giant wooden rafters soaring above the dining room and back patio. Agnes isn’t the first place in LA to dip into Midwestern nostalgia, but it’s the only one that goes all-in. You’ll eat dishes like loaded baked potato dumplings, cornbread eclairs, and ice cream topped with puppy chow. This is definitely upscale dining, but it’s also where universal childhood comforts are intertwined into every element of the experience." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce
"Wife and husband team Vanessa Tilaka and Thomas Kalb bring together fine cheeses and highly regional American cooking — taking inspiration from the Midwest, California, and beyond — at Agnes. Grab a seat on the lush 1,200-square-foot patio and dig into cheese and meat boards, hushpuppies and Midwestern-style cheese curds, and hearth-roasted proteins. The homemade pastas section is particularly special; first-timers would be wise to not miss the loaded baked potato dumplings." - Mona Holmes
"An American restaurant in Pasadena with a cheese shop and bar, offering dishes from the grill in a haute setting." - Kevin Chau
"A favorite spot for Farley Elliott, known for its diverse offerings." - Eater Staff
