I attended a private party at the Rococo Room at Cafe Santorini - and the space was very quaint and cozy (dark wood bar, crystal chandeliers, lush velvety draperies) and the service was very attentive and friendly. While it's always difficult to prepare food for a large group, the restaurant did relatively well (except some hors d'eouvres were already cold when served - curried shrimp was still pretty good though). The highlights were the steak with peppercorn sauce,the chocolate mousse cake (just sweet and rich enough; a great end to the meal) and the coffee. I'm not sure I would trek all the way out to pasadena just to dine there, but I'll keep it in mind for group events, etc.
Pros: Good space for parties; Friendly waitstaff
Cons: Location is a bit far for westsiders
