Kathleen's Restaurant — Restaurant in Pasadena

Charming little diner in Pasadena. They had fresh yellow tulips on the table! Everything sounded so good! I arrived 15-20 minutes before they closed but they treated me like I was the first guest of the night and they didn't rush to get me to leave, which seems like not a big deal but is still very generous. I ordered a glass of wine and some French Onion soup. It came with a basket of warm, crusty bread which was a nice suprise. Also, the butter pallets were not rock solid from being in the fridge. They were room temp and this is such a little thing, but it made all the difference because it was spreadable. It's always the little things, right? I wish I could have ordered everything on the menu. The prices are a little steep but I actually felt it was worth it because of the excellent service and quality. The service was wonderful. I will absolutely be back here,...

Amazing establishment. We had the reception for my late grandmother's interment here. Kathleen was sensitive to our needs and helped to ease my parents worries and the stress of planning a funeral that would be 4 hours away from their home in north of fresno. Our party of around 20 people including 5 children happened to be significantly early AND KATHLEEN WAS READY FOR US!♥ Overall the service was beyond what we could have received anywhere else, regardless of cost.

The food here is amazing. A wide variety of cuisine and all done exceptionally! The prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of the food. I had the pleasure of dining here twice in the two days I was in the area.

Thank you Kathleen's for helping make a potentially somber day into a true celebration of life for my family, and for me. †...

How I've never been here in the 28 years I've lived in Pasadena, I'll never know... But now that I have I can tell I'll be a frequent visitor.

First off the bathroom is adorable, do you see this sink?!! That's just the nastolgic designer in me.

Of course the hot chocolate was adorable too. A full mug of whipped cream & a warm little pot of chocolate to pour over.

I devoured the cream of zucchini before I remembered to take a pic but it was delicious.

Dad & I shared the Reuben, SO tender, yummy sauerkraut, and the Cole slaw side dad didn't let me have any... Too good!

I now understand why it's been here for more than 35 years... See...
