A New Culinary Destination in Pasadena: Osa Rooftop

Osa, an exciting new rooftop restaurant, is set to debut at the AC Hotel Pasadena on July 18th. Offering breathtaking views and a unique dining experience, Osa invites food lovers to indulge in fresh California cuisine amidst the beauty of nature. Nestled in Pasadena’s vibrant Playhouse Village, the rooftop location is adjacent to the famed Rose Parade route, ensuring a lively atmosphere all year round.

The restaurant features a stunning open-air terrace framed by a mature olive tree, cozy fire pits, and lush landscaping inspired by the nearby Angeles National Forest. With a commitment to sustainability and local character, Osa aims to weave thoughtful design into a culinary journey that feels distinctly Californian.

Culinary Offerings
Under the talented guidance of Executive Chef Carlos Couts, Osa’s menu showcases the diversity of California’s culinary roots. Known for his innovative approach at various renowned restaurants, Couts will present a seasonal menu that includes exquisite dishes such as grilled swordfish, roasted beets, and succulent Wagyu burgers. With an emphasis on fresh produce and globally influenced flavors, each dish is crafted to provide a unique taste of the region.

In addition to the delightful food, the bar program at Osa is curated by mixologist Pete St. Peter, renowned for her vibrant and imaginative cocktails. Guests can expect a bustling bar scene featuring a broad range of local spirits, seasonal cocktails, and exciting happy hour specials. Signature drinks like the smoky-spicy Cactus Cooler and bold Drop the Beet margarita are set to enhance the overall dining experience.

A Vision of Design
The rooftop space was inspired by the dramatic textures and colors of Baja California, designed to evoke the emotional vibrancy of renowned architect Luis Barragán. Many of the seating arrangements are crafted from reclaimed wood by local artisans, adding authenticity to the space. Floral designs, created by Lindsay Cummins, feature native California botanicals that harmonize with the restaurant’s ethos.

“We’re delighted to launch Osa in Pasadena, a city we deeply admire,” said Freddy Braidy, Founder of Boulevard Hospitality Group. “Our vision is to create a vibrant community hub that reflects the authentic character of the area while delivering exceptional culinary experiences.”

As Osa prepares to welcome guests, its sustainable practices and commitment to fresh ingredients set a refreshing tone for rooftop dining in Pasadena. The restaurant will operate daily for dinner from 4 PM to 10 PM, with a weekend brunch slated to launch later this summer.

For those interested in exploring this culinary gem, reservations can be made through OpenTable, ensuring a seamless dining experience. With its picturesque location and innovative menu, Osa promises to be a rewarding addition to Pasadena’s rich dining landscape.
