Hands down my favorite restaurant.
This is the place to go for a "reasonably-priced" night out compared to other high-end places. The cocktails are great and ordering family-style is the best way to try a bit of everything. My wife and I have tried a handful of dishes the fe
Crime that this restaurant is closing permanently.
.. Although flavors were a bit too decadent than what we prefer... they had PERFECT control over the cooking-- nothing was over or undercooked, by any perceptible amount for me. Very impressed.
Everything was awesome.
Especially the duck salad. And now I hear they are closing quick go before they're gone.
Tried things I would never think of ordering! The carrots
Tried things I would never think of ordering! The carrots were divine! We also ordered the trout; how is it possible that there were no bones! Loved it all and it is too bad they're closing.

Denver is so lucky to have Bar Chelou! This was our first time dining here, and unfortunately, it will also be our last... at least until we visit Denver. Good thing we made a reservation a month in advance! The restaurant's dรฉcor was beautifu
NOOOO BAR CHELOU PLS DONT CLOSE!!! I've come here twice
NOOOO BAR CHELOU PLS DONT CLOSE!!! I've come here twice and both times were INCREDIBLE!! First, it's so cute and moody inside, very trendy by Pasadena standards. I love the shared plate style, there is not a single thing I've tried
Lease is up and they opted not to renew.
Core problem with this place is menu prices not aligned with portion sizes. Food is quite good, but prices are simply outrageous.
So sad to see this place go.
Eating out is a special occasion for us, and we've treasured the special occasions spent here. Denver is getting a gem.
Not doing that again.
We were seeing a play at Pasadena Playhouse. The line for wine at the beverage stand in the courtyard was so long we stepped into Bar Chelou to pick up a fast glass of wine. Two 6oz HOUSE reds in plastic party cups with a lid - $50. With tip, $67.
Such a Rude Host
We walked into Bar Chelou looking forward to having a nice meal before attending the adjacent theater. The person who seated us was so inexplicably hostile and rude that after ordering a beverage, we decided to simply pay our very nice waitress and w
Great location, good food

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bar Chelou Pasadena at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bar Chelou Pasadena page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Bar Chelou Pasadena to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bar Chelou Pasadena!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
