Plate 38 Kitchen And Bar - New American restaurant in Pasadena - 2361 E Colorado Blvd, USA

So delicious! We came to this restaurant because of a recommendation by a local and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, our server made great recommendations and was able to explain everything about the dishes on the menu. The food was really good; it tasted fresh and the flavors were succulent and savory. Great experience.

I haven’t been here for a while and I was pleasantly surprised that the place is still busy. They set up a relatively big tent for outside dining in addition to their regular space and patio. Parking is tighter because of said tent. The dinner menu is pretty solid. The four cheese sexy Mac and gem salad are shareable. The skirt steak is predictable but the baked trout was amazing. So was the truffle mushroom burger. We came back for brunch a few weeks later. We had to wait despite our reservation. The brunch offerings were pretty standard. The prime rib sandwich was savory delicious. The chips in the chilaquiles were pretty soggy. On both visits, the restaurant was understaffed but the servers stepped up to make both visits pleasant.

Amazing food and service. The patio is a bit loud because of the street noise but I had the best Cepque Madame. my wife had an Amazing breakfast burrito and we had a side of the mac n cheese and it was all fantastic. I would definitely go here again soon if it was not 30 miles away from my home! The Couple next to us got chicken sandwiches and they were huge and looked delicious. it was there first time there as well and they were impressed just like us!

Breakfast/brunch prices were very reasonable, especially for LA. But the iced coffee is $4.50. I asked if they could do an Irish coffee and bam, all the sudden $16. Not on the menu, so didn't find out until bill. Just didn't expect a shot of what I hope was Tullamore Dew to be $11.50. Breakfast $19, drink $16. Just felt a little taken advantage of. Food was absolutely 5/5. We'd go again except for the drink thing. Also, if we're getting picky, the waiter didn't write anything down. Food order was correct, but had to ask multiple times for water.

10:00 AM - walked in and it was quite empty. Make a reservation if you plan to go at 11:00 or after! It will fill up quick. Croque madam - the salad was a bit sour for me. The toast was delicious! I wish they added more bechamel. You can definitely taste the Gruyère! Pancakes - they packed it with blueberries in the pancake! I like how the lemon custard balanced it out. Would recommend if you like blueberry pancake and lemon custard! The staffs updated us almost every 5-10 min about our food. Our food took almost 25 minutes to get out.

First time coming here for a brunch and I was a little disappointed by the service. Our party of 16 was sat outside since they said they couldn't accommodate us inside and that already delayed our waitress. She was bouncing between tables inside and our table outside. We all ordered the Bottomless Mimosa option and we had a total of 2 mimosas each in the 90-minute window that we had. Our food came out on time and was the perfect temperature. I ordered the Croque Madame Sandwich and it was delicious. It was also a pretty big portion that could be shared amongst two people. I don't know if I return here for brunch as we were waiting for our waitress to come with drinks and they also only have 2 restrooms which took forever to wait for. There is no room inside to form a line for the restroom as it is exactly five feet from the closest table and/or bar seat. I didn't enjoy the lag and the wait on our drinks was not worth the price.

Good food. Went for brunch, got the French toast. It was very good. My friend had oatmeal, for a healthy option it was done well. Service forgot about us at the end, we had to ask like 3 times about getting the check.

Plate 38 is a gem and definitely my new favorite place. The pancakes and that lemon curd inspired me to go home and try making it myself, but if I fail who cares i can come back for all of theirs. Also very lovely staff thank you for a beautiful experience
