The Raymond 1886 - Modern American Cuisine & Craft Cocktails in Pasadena

Honestly really disappointed in this place. I had to ask countless times for everything including water, and he was extremely inattentive. The food was extremely overpriced for the tiny portions and frankly the food was not good. We were freezing the whole night and they decided to turn on the heaters right when we were leaving? Like the rest of the night, when we asked for the check, it took us asking multiple people for the server to bring out the check which was done through a device he had on him the whole time? Also tip was included so I couldn’t even let that reflect how poorly I thought of the service and the food. Avoid this place

Great food. From fish to cheese to meats it was great all around. The service was great. One problem was my main course came out first and my wife and sons came out almost 30 minutes later. I had finished mine by the time theirs came. Bad form. The atmosphere was awesome. It's essentially a house. All the rooms and outside area are converted tables.

We came here for Dine LA because of the high Google reviews, but unfortunately, our experience didn’t match the expectations. The food was served cold and lacked flavor. Service was slow across the board, from ordering to receiving our dishes. Valet parking was also very inefficient—we waited about 30 minutes just to get our car. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. We love coming to The Raymond! My husband and I split the tagliatelle pasta and the rib eye steak before heading to my company Christmas party. It was just the right amount of food and everything was excellent. Service was prompt and the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. We love supporting local businesses, so this place is a staple on our list.

Food: The calamari was good, it was little bit too spicy for me, and the rice paper was a little oily but still yummy. The bread and butters were great, they swap out the flavors every day, and we had smoked cheddar and cranberry orange, I really enjoyed the cranberry orange one, it was bright and sweet and buttery. The kale salad was also good , the perfect dressing and the perfect toppings. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and it was very flavorful. The chimichurri was delicious and very fresh tasting. The Mac n cheese was good, but needed a better cheesy flavor, it was a little creamy and not cheesy. We had three desserts, the lemon dessert, the chocolate pot de crème, and the chocolate bread pudding. The pot de crème base was great, rich and creamy, but the olive oil sea salt in the whipped cream didn’t hit the mark. It threw off the flavor for me. The bread pudding was great, I think that because the chef used fresh bread not stale bread it elevated it to a new level. I’m not a big bread pudding fan but this was good. The lemon dessert was the best of them all, the perfect tartness, and it was silky smooth and just melted away in your mouth. The blueberry sauce was just divine and a beautiful color. Service: Our server, Ginger, was great, she was kind and helped us with some items on the menu. The food came out so fast, she hadn’t even left our table yet and the salad was at our table. Atmosphere: I thought it was cute and cozy. We sat outside and the light that came in was beautiful. It was perfect for when the sun was setting because it wasn’t too warm, and if it got cold they had heaters. Overall: Great food, great atmosphere! I recommend!
