| Monrovia, a few miles down the freeway from downtown Pasadena, may not be known for its hot dining scene, but even Westsiders find this place worth the trek. Undulating copper tentacles from an avant-garde chandelier crawl across the ceiling. Start with tuna tartare or the out-of-sight curried oysters in champagne sauce. Next might come steak in an intense red wine reduction or caribou with a creamy morel sauce. Considering the cuisine's quality, prices are relatively tame, and the outstanding wine list is constantly updated. |

Although it’s housed in a converted 1890s carriage house, Devon features a contemporary-styled dining room dominated by a chandelier whose long, copper tentacles extend across the ceiling like a giant octopus. Originally occupying a small storefront, the restaurant has taken over two adjacent stores and now has a full license. The kitchen, despite the loss of original chef Pedro Simental, hasn't lost a beat, turning out food good enough to warrant a long drive from the Westside. might include foie gras in raspberry sauce, tuna tartare, or sensational curried in a delicate Champagne sauce. Most entrées are remembered for their masterful sauces, including a in a potent red wine reduction, butter-tender caribou in creamy morel mushroom sauce and rabbit in mustard sauce. There are good and an impressive list that's the pride of the personable, hands-on owner. |

| A converted Monrovia carriage house whose decor features a huge chandelier, pressed tin ceilings, copper tube lighting, and regal burgundy tones, Devon is now home to exceptional California casual dining. Carpaccio of ostrich with soy pepper sauce, grilled quail stuffed with lamb mousse, turtle-mousse stuffed ravioli, and foie gras with mango sauce are but a few of the seasonal entrees that earn rave reviews from regulars. For a small restaurant, Devon's hand-selected wine list is extensive. Don't forget to save room for the lemon-thyme cake, a delectable delight that shouldn't be missed. Reservations are suggested. |

| The decor at Restaurant Devon in Monrovia may be a bit hard-edged (Chinese chairs, copper-tubing light fixtures, abstract paintings), but chef Pedro Simental's precise California-French cooking makes up for it. Dainty crab cakes bursting with crab, grilled quail stuffed with lamb mousse, or the mixed mushroom salad perfumed with walnut oil and walnuts make a strong first impression. His skill as a saucier shows up in poussin in a refreshing orange glaze or steak in a Port reduction as transparent as a watercolor wash. |
