It is centrally located just off South Lake Avenue and is within walking distance of hotels, the convention center, the Pasadena Playhouse and popular shopping areas. Green Street has an eclectic menu featuring savory salads (the ever popular and addicting Dianne Salad is ordered over 2,000 times per week), tasty meats, fresh fish and creative sandwiches served on wonderful breads. Guests enjoy a full bar and interesting wines by the glass on a beautiful patio or in the airy interior. Take-out and full catering services are also available.

    I have liked this restaurant for a long time but last night’s Arroyo salad, though large and enough for lunch today, was a bit disappointing. I added chicken and the chopped chicken breast in it was so dry it was not even made edible by dipping it in salad dressing. You shouldn’t serve inedible food. The rest of our party’s food was quite delicious, however, and the service was outstanding.

    I have been going to Green Street restaurant for a long time. But my most recent visit was very disappointing. The main issue this time was their food. I ordered their Steak and Diane. The Diane salad part was fine. It is their signature dish. But the steak was very disappointing. Besides flavorless, there were connective tissues running up and down the meat, made it very tough. The chicken pasta tasted black pepper. Garlic toast was more like garlic baguette. At least the zucchini bread was still good. Service-wise was average. Our server brought out the zucchini bread but forgot our serving plates. At least she was very polite. The restaurant was not crowded at all, with several empty tables.

    Really accommodating team- from the hostesses to the waiters and bar tenders, they made us feel very welcomed and had all sorts of great suggestions for us as visitors to Pasadena. The salmon cob salad was especially good, and the cocktails were well executed.

    I have been dining at Green Street for over 20 years and always find their meals to be excellent. They are close to perfect, but not quite. Last night I decided to try the meatloaf. It was not 5 star. It was too salty and didn't have any kind of sauce or gravy. It was not terrible, but I had expected excellence.
