Why We Like It

If you’ve never been to this sleepy suburb near Pasadena, this handsome New American spot helmed by two pedigreed chefs (from Sona and Daniel), who also owned one of L.A.’s best butcher shops, is the reason to go. Nori waffles with uni, expectedly beautiful seafood and steaks, seasonal sides, and elegant desserts — Backbone’s a winner all around.
