Plate 38 Kitchen And - Pasadena

Stopped for brunch and loved it! Alberto was top tier, he made sure we were taken care of and the bottomless mimosas were filled. The oysters were fantastic.

Great place for delicious food and excellent staff.

I was the first customer in the restaurant. I ordered a basic egg breakfast. Several parties came after me. 45 minutes later, most of them had their food. An apology from the waiter as I watched others get their food (he must have seen me looking around). I waited as others got their food. It was obvious I was not welcome here (btw, I happened to be the only African American in the restaurant). Humiliating! I left and walked to Starbucks and was treated like a human being. Smh

Was peaceful and delicious. Great service great drinks.

TL:DR; The food was good, but was vastly overshadowed by the painfully slow and inaccurate service. Very disappointed. The restaurant seemed inadequately staffed. We arrived right on time for our reservation and waited around 10 minutes before we were acknowledged by the host, and another 15 minutes before getting a table. After that it was at least another 10 minutes before our server greeted us and took our drink order. Drinks took awhile to arrive but the food arrived fairly quickly, except that one of our orders was incorrect (server said she hit the wrong button. So, three of us had our food while one had to wait another 10-15 minutes before her correct order came out. The server was gracious and apologetic, and brought us complimentary pancakes for the table. We were still charged full price for the late meal. Overall the food was good, but the service was so disorganized and slow that I can't see myself returning.
