Mélange

Came here for brunch. Food was excellent! Drinks were amazing (both mock and alcoholic). The gelato was good too! I would recommend the trio sandwich and the poke and hamachi. The charcuterie board was good too. My wife and kids loved all the cheeses on that board. Meat and fig jam was good too. The coffee was excellent too. Steak was good, but on the thin side. Overall no complaints. I would definitely come back. I also recommend all the mock drinks, they were all tasty.

My favorite restaurant in Arcadia! I am always satisfied with the meals and Isa was a phenomenal server at dinner the other night. She was pleasant and so sweet, it made dinner taste even better. Their seafood is always fresh, steaks cooked to perfection, and vegetables crisp and refreshing. Drinks are amazing. Thanks for a great dining experience Isa!

Updating for the High tea and Highballs experience!

Wonderful tea time! The service was attentive, the tea was great, we had the earl grey , jasmine and oolong. Two of us had the regular Chinese tea set, one had the hi-ball tea set that came with 2 cute little pancakes topped with caviar, which were delicious, and a very good tea-infused highball cocktail.
Gave the food 4 stars instead of 5 because of the scones, Devonshire cream, and mochi ball skewer. The vanilla and matcha scones looked lovely, but were crumbly, they fell apart when trying to spread the cream and lemon curd on it. Secondly, although the menu said there’d be Devonshire cream, it was actually more like or butter, thicker consistency and not sweet. Lastly, the 3 mochi balls on a pretty skewer were not what was expected. They weren’t actually mochi, they were dango, more densely packed rice balls that had the consistency of hard playdoh. We saw that other tables left only these dango balls on their tea tray as well. But other than these, the rest of the food was wonderful, esp the taro mochi , smoked salmon sandwich , lobster & egg salad sandwich , and shitaki mushroom with truffle aioli sandwich.

We had the DineLA menu and it was such a good value, at $55 per person! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. I didn’t post the other courses or dessert, they came out too blurry, but there were several courses , each one was fabulous. I’d love to come back to try their high tea.

I had a wonderful business dinner in their private dining room. It was a great place for it, it offered privacy yet had big windows looking down into the main dining room. The server was fantastic and the food amazing. High recommend the restaurant and if you need a private dining experience their 3 room are perfect.

We were helped by Amina.. first off the food was really good. We had the salmon and the lollipop lamb and that was so tasty. Best Shirley temples my kids ever had. Also got a mango mojito (virgin) that was so good. Now back to Amina... total pleasure. Her personality is amazing. She us so engaging. I can tell she totally loves her job. We will come back often and hope that she is here to assist us again.

Eaten here more than one, not sure about other reviews but we enjoy the food. Drinks at bar. Amazing service ... We come here at least once a month at times twice.. prawns, sea bass to die for.. waitress Aneta, sorry if spelled wrong best host and her bar tender boyfriend is cool as well..

*This review is in regards to their breakfast*

Located within Le Méridien Pasadena Arcadia Marriott Hotel, Mélange celebrates a mixture of Asian and American fare. The service and staff were timely and courteous as expected. Our server was Edgar, who demonstrated patience and consideration during our meal. We took his recommendations and delighted ourselves to the Signature Traditional Japanese Breakfast that was comprised of a thin slice of salmon, white rice, miso soup, tofu, amongst other smaller pieces. Aside from that, we also ordered their Banana French Toast Rolls, Avocado Toast, Farmers Market Fruit Bowl, and a croissant. I recommend their Japanese Breakfast and their French Toast Rolls; everything else was standard.

It was a nice break from our traditional American fare that we usually partake for breakfast. It was an enjoyable time, and I’ll be coming back again.

The only bad experience that they have is with their bathrooms; there is only a hand dryer and no hand towels, but what makes this user-unfriendly, especially during this pandemic, is that the doors are opened by grabbing and twisting the handle—which wouldn’t be a problem, if everyone washes their hands correctly. Sadly, not everyone does, so because there isn’t a hand towel to dry your hands, then become a disposable protection “glove” when opening the door, you’re forced to touch the “dirty” handle. The best solution that the hotel can make to rectify this while still maintaining an eco-friendly take is to make the door push-able from the inside out, so guests can use their shoes or elbows to exit the room (invest in a hands-free foot door opener).

I digress… half of this review is about the small, yet important inconvenience, excuse me. Overall, my guests and I enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service.

P.S. There isn’t any self-parking, and the hotel offers valet services for $10 (under three hours w/ restaurant validation).

Great food. Sea bass dish is outstanding. Crispy tofu, Asian chopped salad, and garlic noodles are also yummy

A combination of modern elegance and exceptional cuisine

Excellent！Food is perfect

Unbelievable service, food is good but overall simply overpriced on appetizers and drinks.

We had mixed feelings about Melange. The place is gorgeous. Our waitress was really great and couteous. The food was hit and miss and took quite a while to arrive. My fish and dumpling dish was great but the steaks for our colleagues were very over done versus the medium order. They have a very good matcha basque cheese cake. Overall it could be better.

The atmosphere and decor are wonderful. Food isn’t half bad either once you finally get it. Well timed and executed service is so important which is where this restaurant missed the mark unfortunately. The front of house are not organized and struggle with taking care of guests. Everything was so slow from ordering, coffee, food, and the bill. Parking is valet only and is free with validation from the restaurant. Unfortunately they were also pretty slow.

Introduced by a friend, because I heard they have caviar to serve for high tea, but actually they do not. 30 mins waiting for a waiter to come to pick the tea, another 40 mins waiting for first course, another 30 mins waiting for the desserts. In the mean while, nobody came to ask us if we need anything, but they forced to charge 18% service fee?! I understand there was a event there, but I think all customers are worth for being served well. The food was not worth for $80/person, desserts looked like some retail brand were put in the dish. I do not judge the taste because everyone has different taste system, but overall, not worth to go there for afternoon tea even once!
