A true Pasadena classic. It's always a pleasure to eat here. This time I got tha chicken salad and enjoyed every bit of it. Staff was pleasant, atmosphere was friendly, and tha food was just tha right portion. My table still had remnants of tha last person who ate there but overall was still pretty clean. I look forward to coming back.
