Not for lunch, or for that matter maybe not for dinner either 2/2/2009

BRUNCH REVIEW:\r I've had dinner here several times, and it's always been great food with great atmosphere- especially since they've expanded into the bar next door. Their meat dishes are delicious and just about everything we've ordered has been great ... BUT ... based on these prior experiences we recommended M&A's for our family's brunch last Sunday with 7 of us celebrating my husband's birthday. Everything started off well enough, unfortunately, our waiter all but disappeared after the drinks arrived. My tea had two ice cubes which melted almost immediately, and I tried for at least 15 minutes to get our French-accented waiter's attention only to be continually ignored. Another server finally overheard me and brought a glass of ice. Once our meals arrived, the waiter was again AWOL, and we had a major issue with our corned beef hash- there was hardly any ACTUAL corned beef in the dish!! Maybe a fleck, maybe two, but not nearly enough to justify such its grand description on the menu. It was glorified hashbrowns, at best.\r \r Needless to say, my South Boston Irish father-in-law was outraged told the waiter so once the guy the reappeared (at the very end of the meal). Our complaint was met with a half-hearted apology and a promise that the ""chef has been informed,"" and although this could have been easily remedied by removing the item from our bill (or at the very least comping a dessert for my husband's birthday) the server did nothing to make things right. The item remained on the bill -- and no one even bothered to wish us a Happy Birthday.\r \r Overall, just a terrible experience! The service stunk, lunch was average, and the menu misleading. Really crappy job Mike and Anne's, unless you step it up and take better care of your customers we won't be returning. Pros: Some dishes are tasty, others plain bad Cons: Misrepresented some items on menu, crappy service and non-caring staff more

Best breakfast in South Pasadena 12/31/2008

Mike and Anne's has the best breakfast in town. Pancakes are yummy. Cooked my eggs perfecttly and I am fussy. Love the atmosphere inside and outside eating. My favorite restaurant. Pros: food, ambiance, service more

Great local place to start the weekend 10/17/2008

This has become a regular place for my husband and I to meet while our daughter is at her writing tutor's. We'll often share a couple of appetizers at the bar and check in with each other. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the dishes we've had--drawing a blank.\r \r We've take friends from out of town to show off a bit of South Pasadena, and everyone has been satisfied with the service and the food. And these are people from San Francisco and Chicago, who like to eat well.\r \r So, I recommend it! As for service, I have had no problems, personally. Perhaps because we are regulars? Don't know. Pros: indoor and outdoor, as well as space that is a bit of both. Cons: Could improve their reception of guests as they arrive for a table. more

ok food and TERRIBLE service 9/10/2008

My wife and I went to Mike and Anne's Restaurant for breakfast on a recommendation. Remind me to sm@ck around the source. Anyhow, we get there around 10am and were sitted promptly, then our ""slick"" waiter comes over thinking he was impressing us with his french accent... WRONG!!! We placed our order and about 25minutes later our food comes out and is wrong. It took them 10 mins to correct our order. Mind you this whole time our waiter has not come back to our table, I eventually had to flag him down just to get refills of water. We even had to walk our own check up to the front because we got tried of waiting for someone to come pick it up. The food is ok and the service is terrible. This resturant is walking distance from my home but needless to say I will not be coming back. Pros: location Cons: Food and Service more

mediocre food and service 7/5/2008

My husband and I have been wanting to try Mike and Anne's since it opened. Finally we got the urge to stop by last Wednesday -but what a disappointment. (and we were really hungry too) The salad I ordered had lettuce so wilted it was almost not a solid form anymore. $6 for a plate of unedible lettuce? His corn bisque was oily and watery. The braised short ribs were OK, but in our opinion overpriced and just mediocre tasting. The veggies were tastless and really undercooked. Overall, the only thing we enjoyed was the outdoor seating and the bread. Definitely won't return, even though the outdoor patio is perfect for summer evenings. What a let-down. Pros: great patio seating Cons: bad food more

Good Food Poor Service 4/23/2008

I guess most of the reviews have done a pretty good job of describing the place, the food was ok,the service is definitely slow and Lazy and on top of it the waitress ended up spilling whole tray of water over one of us. Overall it is at a good location and would be good place to eat on sunny day but by the amount of time they take to serve you will end up spending a lot of time for some average food more

Worst Service in Southern California 3/22/2008

This place has problems. I showed up at the time of my reservation only to be told that is the restaurants policy not to honor reservations. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. I could not ascertain why they take reservations if they do not honor them. I didn't eat there since it was going to be a thirty minute to an hour wait past my so called reservation time.\r \r The first time I ate there, the service was horrible. I thought maybe I just had a bad waiter, but it really is just a bad place. If you go here on a busy night, prepare to wait a long time for mediocre food served by a bitter wait staff. The outdoor seating area looks nice. Don't be fooled by the looks. There's nothing nice about being treated like dirt. Pros: location Cons: inept servers and management more

WORST SERVICE - Totally Ignored 10/26/2007

We were really excited to try this nice looking restaurant right in our new neighborhood. We recently moved to South Pasadena. We got there and were seated very uneventfully, the rest of the time there was just that, uneventful. We sat there 25 minutes without anyone asking us what we would like to drink, eat or nothing. It's like we weren't there. The servers and runners deliberately avoided making eye contact. Maybe it's coz we were in the corner, maybe coz mentioned we wanted to have dessert and drinks, or maybe it's coz we're black, who knows? All I know is that it was humiliating and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant to anyone. I could not leave without letting someone know of our disappointment, so I did mention this to a lady that looked like the manager/owner on our way out. Cons: NO SERVICE more

From a local's point of view 9/16/2007

My family and I recently discovered this place, and I recommend it highly. This is where we take guests when they come to visit if they want a delicious but not fancy meal. The service is always friendly; in fact, one waiter remembered us three weeks after our last visit! The decor is tasteful and somewhat casual--I'd take a date to a corner table inside or on the patio, as these are the more private areas. The entrees are fresh and use interesting ingredients (forbidden rice, for example). One or two items on the menu change from time to time depending on what is available, but my favorite dishes are the heirloom tomato salad, the cod with miso broth, the tuna poke, and the burger. The desserts are pretty tasty, especially the peach trio. I happen to love the strawberry shortcake, but I can understand why one of the other reviewers wasn't crazy about it: it is a bit mild. In the end, I'd say this is a great place for a casual dinner with friends, especially if you're like me and you live in the area. more

Friendly service & good food! 9/2/2007

We had a very late dinner (9:30pm) on the patio which was very pleasant. Our waitress was very helpful and our water glasses were kept full. We shared a bowl of New Zealand mussels for a starter. These were delicious and only one of the mussels didn't open. The mussels were prepared in a garlic and olive broth with other herbs and served with a piece of grilled garlic bread. Then I had a starter special for my entree, which was a dungeness crab cake. This was deep fried a little too much. It was tasty, but I thought the taste of the dungeness crab was lost. My husband had the pork chop which was served with red cabbage. The chop was moist and tasty. For desert, I had the peach cobbler. This is a very large portion and is enough for two. I especially liked the peach gelato which accompanied it. My husband had the strawberry shortcake, but he couldn't say much about it, except that there was only one strawberry cut into slices. We did enjoy the restaurant and want to try it out for lunch or brunch. \r cjoe Pros: Friendly service. Cons: Tables in patio seemed very close to each other. more

The worst service I've ever received ANYWHERE, mediocre food. 8/7/2007

What a disappointment! My husband and I went there for a relaxing dinner on a Tuesday night around 7:30pm. We ordered our wine, appetizers, and entree right away. Our appetizer (delivered by someone other than our server) arrived about 20 minutes later, & we didn't get our wine until about 5 minutes later! When our entrees arrived, my husband was served steak, when he had actually ordered fish. (The entree was delivered by yet another server). We sent back the steak, eventually got the correct entree (fish), which was completely raw in the middle. By the time we got someone's attention, I had finished my risotto (which was okay, at best). My husband had to approach the wine bar to order a second glass of wine, and explain the entree situation. The woman in charge offered to take 50% off of his entree (the undercooked fish, of which he took not one bite)! We were floored, we left the restaurant disappointed, irritated, $61.00 poorer, and only one of us had eaten! We saw our actual server only one more time, when we had to practically accost her to request our check. Nobody except the bus boys would make eye contact with us. I would never, ever recommend this place to anyone. The table next to us, by the way, arrived about 20 minutes after we did, and still had no food when we left. The whole experience totally sucked, I gave it one star because no stars was not an option. Pros: Nice patio for outside dining Cons: Bad service, overpriced & disappointing food more
