First visit to celebrate my wife's birthday. Located in Old Town Pasadena, the tree-lined street and interior décor truly make you feel like you're in a small French bistro. Inside and patio dining available. On street metered parking, and their website says that there's a parking garage behind the restaurant off Delacey Avenue.
SERVICE: I was a little disappointed with the service from our main waiter. Initially, we felt rushed when we first arrived, and then there wasn't much interaction once we placed our orders or throughout dinner. We ordered a bottle of wine, and other than the initial opening of the bottle and first pour, there was no follow up. The assistant waiter was a little more attentive and was at least personable.
DRINKS: Wine, wine cocktails, and beer only. We started with a glass of Kir Royale ($18) and a bottle of 2021 Chateauneuf-du-Pape ($110, about 200% markup), which paired perfectly with our entrées. There were other wines that were far less expensive, but we splurged for this occasion. Should you choose to bring in your own bottle, the corkage fee is currently $30/bottle.
FOOD: We started with two appetizers, a Duck Mousse ($25) that was on special, and Escargots de Bourgogne ($22). Both were served with toasted baguette, which was a little too toasted IMO. The mousse and escargots were excellent. For our entrées we tried the Poulet Rôti Bio au Thym ($35), a roasted organic half chicken, the Entrecôte au Poivre ($52), a 10 oz ribeye steak with French fries, and another special, the Rack of Lamb ($61) served with mashed potatoes and veggies. The chicken was excellent, the steak was good, and I thought that the lamb was nice, but my wife was not a fan. We also ordered the Profiteroles ($18) for dessert and were charged for that. I'm not complaining, just pointing out so there's no surprises to others...many places provide a birthday dessert gratis, Entre Nous did not.
Overall, our experience was okay, but for the price and the service we had, I would choose other French restaurants over this one.
