“We came out to Osa Rooftop this evening to celebrate my daughter's birthday. All the reviews I had read were true: for one, the atmosphere and the views were spectacular; two, service was right on by Emanuel. He made sure everything was good and refilled our water cups frequently. As the sun was setting, it was a bit breezy as so many people had mentioned, so make sure to bring extra sweater/jacket. Lastly, the food was good. We ordered the hand-pressed tostones (popular item!!), which came with guacamole and black beans (yummy!!). We shared that as appetizers and it was delicious. For dinner we shared two items each for two people. We ordered the steak frites and meatballs and also steak frites and burger. Everything was fresh and delicious!! Emanuel did bring a complimentary birthday icecream and that was a nice surprise. We all enjoyed a bite of icecream. Thank you Osa team for the excellent service this evening!!”
“Tried the new brunch at OSA Rooftop and had a great time. The rooftop has a really nice, laid-back feel and is perfect for a slow weekend brunch. We ordered avocado toast, king salmon crudo, Caesar salad, fries, and the OSA burger, plus the Spritz Tree for the table. Everything came out well and worked perfectly for sharing while we hung out and enjoyed the view. Service was friendly and everything felt smooth from start to finish. Overall, a great new brunch option in Pasadena with good food and a nice rooftop atmosphere.Tried the new brunch at OSA Rooftop and had a great time.

“@osarooftop in Pasadena is a beautiful rooftop restaurant that brings the vibes and food. Everything is shareable and I especially loved their arancini. It was so crispy and had this cheesy savory sauce on the bottom that I scraped off the plate. I also loved their cheesy chicken tacos that was loaded with a huge patty of melted cheese, tender chicken, and pickled onions. Honestly surprising that such a nice establishment served this good of street food.”
“OSA Rooftop was such a beautiful experience. The rooftop ambiance at night is gorgeous with the warm lights and city views — it feels elevated , relaxed, and welcoming. The food honestly exceeded my expectations. Everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The salmon crudo was absolutely my favorite. Service was also excellent — attentive, friendly, and made the whole evening feel effortless. Definitely one of the nicest rooftop dining experiences in Pasadena. I’ll absolutely be back.”
“We were really excited to try Osa Rooftop for the first time. It’s located on top of the AC Hotel, and I’ll start by saying—the space is beautiful. The rooftop vibe is stylish and relaxed, with gorgeous views that honestly reminded me of being on a rooftop in Italy. Definitely a great atmosphere for a date night or drinks at sunset. That said, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Drinks first: wine was priced around $18–$22 per glass, but the pours felt very small (around 4 oz), which made it hard to justify the cost. The food didn’t match the setting. Artichoke dip was mushy brown with black chips visually - texturally unappealing, Caesar salad barely had dressing (maybe a tablespoon) ,and the roasted beets came out ice cold. When I read roasted beets I am expecting a warm dish. Our server was lovely, but overall service flow was off (had to ask to clear plates every time). Our bill for two was $165 before tip and we didn't even order a main course. Come for sunset + drinks, not dinner. 🌅”
