Noir Food Wine - Pasadena

A charming neighborhood restaurant that is a little hard to find is just by car. The interior is small but warm and not too loud. The service is friendly without being intrusive. I tried the black cod, crab fritter, burgers and bananas care – all were tasteful, well made and beautifully presented with the exception, the Limpfries that came with the burger. While food was good all around, the “small plates” probably do not justify prices. For example, at $11 I had similar quality burgers that were almost twice as big. At $8 I definitely expected a much bigger dessert.
