Reviews for Entre Nous French Bistro in Pasadena, CA
Been here a few times. Great spot for French onion soup and escargot but the rest leaves you wanting, imo. Appetizers are... mostly five stars. Primarily the French onion soup, Escargot, and tartare. If I were to come back we would probably just do afew apps. Entrees. Ribeye and frites was cooked to temp, with a proper crust, peppercorn sauce and fries were great. On its owna great dinner. But at $52, you will be very hard pressed figure out how that math works out based on meal itself. (welcome toPasadena I guess). Braised lamb shoulder is hard to articulate but if you are thinking rich, ultra tender lamb covered in theperfect reduction this was not quite it. Still decent but less moist and more chunky, if that makes any sense, served over a bedof pureed potatoes. Sea bass and lentils is served with an overwhelming amount of lentils and the fish is just along for theride in a difficult pairing. Duck confit is towards the top but more in the sense there is nothing overtly wrong with it. Ifyou have a craving for French cuisine, this place will most likely scratch the itch. Read more
I love this restaurant! This was my second time going and it once again exceeded my expectations. The service is phenomenal. Our... waiter was so friendly, attentive and cute. He recommended the baked brie, which was absolutely delicious. He also helped medecide on a wine based on my preferences. The atmosphere is perfect and cozy. I do hope they expand their wine list however.Other than that, prices are very reasonable considering what your getting. Highly recommend! Read more
Nice little restaurant. French onion soup was excellent, think it had some wine in it, very tasty. The crudo was very light and... really tasty with the orange. I had the halibut which was excellent and she had the lamb. The halibut had a great sauce. Onlyreal complaint was the halibut and lamb got a little dry at the end, both could have used more sauce. For desert get the mousse,outstanding and plenty of it plus fresh cream.. Read more
The decor, lighting, and music makes for an ambience that is delightful and vibrant without being too noisy. Expected a little... better from the food, but overall a lovely meal. Read more
Delicious! I tried the escargot, Ceasars salad and the halibut entree Everything was wonderful The escargot was so buttery and... garlicky and tender. Exactly what you expect and it's amazing The halibut was so soft and buttery and it came with kind of amarmalade zest and it was such a beautiful meeting of flavors. The wait staff were nice and attentive and the atmosphere, well,French! Good value of food and experience! Read more

This place is your absolute 5 stars experience in terms of food quality and presentation, service, ambiance, and décor. We... ordered the fillet mignon, the halibut (which is one of their signature dishes that I highly recommend), the endive salad andfinally the île flottante for dessert.
