The Royce Wood Fired Steakhouse

Great food and great energy

Several weeks ago, I made reservations to stay at the hotel for my wife’s birthday. I also made reservations here. I asked for the window. When we got there, there was a 4-top by the window but they refused to give it is saying it was for 4. They tried to sit us by the kitchen door. Luckily, we saw one away from there and they sat us there. 20 minutes later they seated a couple on the 4 top. When they gave us our menus, they did not give us the wine list. That took another 10+ minutes. And then wanted to rush us to order before I even had a chance to review the wine list. Our server was pleasant thru the night…when he was present. We had to flag down other ones to fill water, get salt, etc. As expensive as this is, you’d think they’d be there to pour your wine…nope! And add to the “ambiance”, there was a 25 year old birthday next door so we had to listen to loud dance music for half the dinner. Except for the baked potatoes (cool and mushy with a cheezy sauce), our food was really good. The wedge was the best my wife ever had. The lobster bisque was delicious. My filet mignon melted in my mouth. Her ribeye, though, was nothing special. They have a nice wine list; however, the mark-up is ridiculously high. Bottom line: the overall experience was not worth what we paid.

The restaurant is located inside the Langham. We were here for my birthday dinner and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped with moving around our reservation. Server was very attentive and recommended some of the best food on the menu. Their vegetarian menu was very limited. We ordered the beet salad, pan seared salmon and the brownie. The portion sizes are small. Bread was so fresh but unfortunately they ran out of it very quickly. Lavender lemonade is something I would definitely go back for. Excellent atmosphere and fantastic experience. One to cherish for!

Service was slow and the pork chop was so salty it was inedible. The steak was good as well as the tuna and caviar appetizer. Unfortunately we will not be returning due to the service and pork chop.

One of the best in Pasadena.

We had our New Year’s dinner at the Royce and we had such an exceptional experience. The food was scrumptous. The staff is just wonderful. It was truly the best experience to end our 2023 and welcome our 2024! Thank you so much!!
