We've been to Bizou since they first opened in Pasadena, we always liked the restaurant. However, both food quality & service degraded substantially during our last several visits.
1) It was a Thurs night, we walked in at around 8:35. The host told us that the will be closing the kitchen soon because the restaurant is not very busy. He looked at me as if he wanted us to leave but we decided to sit.
2) When we got seated, the first thing the waiter said was ""Our kitchen is closing soon, you'l have to order quick"".
3) We ordered soup & salad and appertizers. Everything came at once. It was just not possible for the little booth to accomodate all these food at the same time (we had to get rid of the bread to make rm).
Pros: Price (Wine & Food)
Cons: Service, Inconsistency.
