Arroyo Chop House

Amazing food. Service is usually good

Expensive but we'll worth the price of admission. Great for a date or large parties. Food is second to none. We had Thomas as a waiter once. Would like to get him again to serve us...

Excellent food, amazing bar & superior staff. Thank you Collin for being not only expedient & attentive but also making my celebration dinner one of the most awesome evenings ever! You are the most compassionate, helpful & enlightening server! The Dingle Gin sealed the deal for the epic night!

Nice place just not worth the price tag. Fish was way over cooked and the meat wasn't all the special. Service was just ok, again it just wasn't worth the $$$.

Simply the best steakhouse in the LA area. I've been to them all (names unmentioned). Arroyo has always had the best service, great atmosphere, amazing sourdough and the steaks are ALWAYS cooked to perfection!

We went here for a family dinner in July 2019 for a special occasion (two family birthdays including a 70th) during a trip to the area. We were looking for a comfortable, classic steakhouse with excellent service and Arroyo hit the mark. Everything from drinks to dessert was spectacular. We got a variety of cuts, and everyone's steak was cooked perfectly (really, it should be what they do best), and was melt-in-your mouth delicious. I do agree it got a bit loud as the restaurant filled up, but I think everyone else was just enjoying their meals as much as we were. I'd go back here in a second, and still think about how good this food was.

Chose the Arroyo Chop House to celebrate my wife's birthday with some close friends. There were beautiful flowers and a card waiting at the table when we arrived along with a nice ambiance inside the Restaurant. The service for our table was so enjoyable thanks to Lauren! Our food was absolutely delicious starting with the warm garlic and sourdough bread; to the wedge salad. Our sides (caramelized corn, scalloped potatoes and truffle mac & cheese) were perfect compliments to the filets we ordered which were all cooked to perfection. The chocolate souffle for dessert capped the entire experience. My wife and I will most certainly be coming back!

This is my second time coming here and I must say the food does not disappoint. I had the king crab legs and my boo had the rib eye. We shared the BBQ shrimp and crab cakes appetizer. For our sides we had lobster mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was on point! We were seated in the back in the room with this huge glass wine cellar. It was amazing..... our waiter was great and the host at the front was great. I see why this restaurant has so much foot traffic. It's the go to steakhouse in Pasadena!

Always love this place. It is kind of dark inside but sets the mood for a romantic night or the feeling you are stuck in a mafioso steakhouse in Manhattan and waiting for John Gotti to appear from the dead as he waits to whack someone after an amazing steak dinner. The wine, the sides and the ambiance and help are all 5 stars. If you want to see light they do have an enclosed outdoor part with a fireplace. Valet parking is free just tip them.

We had family gathering there last Friday night. Very disappointed about the quality of the filet mignon we ordered. We asked it to be cooked as medium but the meat was so hard to cut and chew. When we told the waiter about the problem he gave us the attitude but the manager came by and replaced the order for us. The side dishes of lobster mashed potatoes, asparagus and scallops with wrapped bacon were very tasty. Service was not very impressive. We ordered the chocolate soufflé but the waiter sent us the wrong order. Overall the dining experience was not as good as we expected and I think the food quality was not as good as 3 years ago with my first visit of this restaurant. With this price tag I would expect better quality.

High quality meat, high class vibes with excellent service and presentation. Had a great ladies night out here.

Really good steak with tasty sauces and side-dishes; equally fantastic cocktails. Went this evening as a birthday dinner for my 45th since the extra special 40th they helped us put together was so perfect. I'd go into what I chose, but I don't think you could make a poor choice here. Maybe I'll mention that if you're sensitive to spiciness that the jalapeño corn soufflé has spicy flavor throughout so don't get that if you don't want spice, but great flavor and texture if you're neither shy of spice nor one that wants spice to disrupt your senses with it and don't like to actually taste it.

Arroyo Chop House is the best steakhouse in Pasadena. They serve the highest quality meat & fish. Service is awesome, prices are high but you get what you pay for. I would recommend the garlic bread and the chocolate soufflé.

Great food, tasty, well prepared. However, atmosphere was disappointing. Very loud, impacted by boisterous guests with no apparent consideration for the dining experience of others. Our expectation had been to enjoy a delicious meal without needing to raise our voices or not being able to hear our conversation. Best to avoid weekend.

Best steak ever. And excellent tuna!
