La Grande Orange Cafe is an American restaurant located in Old Town Pasadena. It is not that big of a restaurant, and half of the tables are outdoors. My friend and I had dinner here and we chose to sit outside. It was really pretty at night with a fireplace and pretty lights hanging from above. We both started off with ceviche. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was not bad either. For my entree, I ordered the short rib on top of mashed potatoes and gravy with vegetables. I must say, the meat was cooked perfectly! It was so tender! And not dry at all! And I absolutely love mashed potatoes! I could eat it with everything, really. The only complaint I could possibly have is that it is too small. For dessert, we shared a red velvet cake with ice cream on top and strawberry gelato. The red velvet was very sweet, but that is how I like my desserts. As for the gelato, I felt like it did not have enough flavor and it definitely was not sweet enough.
Food for thought: I would recommend this place for a romantic dinner. It is dimly lit and not too loud. You do not have to dress up, but you could if you wanted to. All in all, everything I ate was good if not decent. I would come back if I had the chance!
