Nikka Fish And Grill - Pasadena

The first time here, looking for seafood on open table, made reservation. After attempting unsuccessful to order several things, wine, appetizers, etc. waitress picked up that it was their last night in the store and limited menu / wine list. Okay, we made compromises and stayed and had a delicious dinner. Steamed mussels, with tasty broth, net of lake bass and salmon very well cooked and garnished. The price, too bad, not many seafood Centric in Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena area.

We were informed that the restaurant had closed. If that is true, it is a shame because the food was excellent - we enjoyed oysters, fried shrimp, and grilled fish with salads. Everything was delicious and the service was great.

The Halibut did not meet my high expectations for the price, but both the appetizer Monkey Brains and the steak that was ordered were excellent.

The location is stunning, the cuisine is top-notch, and the service is exceptional.

My wife and I visiting on the Saturday evening before Valentine's Day. We were seated at the time of our reservation at a nice table in a cute alcove. We had a Grilled Artichoke and a dish called Monkey Brains for our appetizers. Both were just ok. My wife ordered the Miso Salmon. The dish was underwhelming. My Sea Bass was a bit tough and overcooked. All in all, a very average dining experience.
