Cafe Santorini

excellent classy mediterranean restaurant

64 West Union Street, Pasadena CA 91103 (map it!)

A great place for a variety of mediterranean foods in a slick, polished environment.

It's a little "hidden" behind several other buildings, so you have to know to look for it, but it's definitely worth the effort to track it down.

Food / Service

They serve a mixture of Italian, Greek, and Mediterranean Arabic food.

There are several good vegetarian options (I strongly recommend the baked butternut squash, or the butternut squash risotto).

It actually also has a smallish bar inside, and they make a variety of goodish martinis.

Environment / Ambience

Unlike many "mediterranean" restaurants in the area, it has a lot of polish, and generally feels modern and upbeat.

The outdoor balcony is always pleasant, and is covered / heated in the winter so is also available most of the year.

The service is very professional and friendly.
