Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains is a tropical oasis awaiting your arrival. Why spend hours flying to Hawaii when you can enjoy tropical South Seas ambiance in Pasadena.

You can dine outdoors at the teak table, capable of easily seating 8. During the day the dining table is shaded from the afternoon sun by a thatched roof cover.
