Rehearsal dinner location in Pasadena?

So I am getting married at the La Canada Flintridge Country Club on June 26.  We are probably blocking rooms at the Hilton in Pasadena.  Are there any good (and reasonable) places to have a rehearsal dinner in the Pasadena area?  We will have probably 40-50 people. 

Thanks!

    I don't know if they are reasonable cause I've never had a large group but they have a Bucca Di Beppo there and you can order family style so that may work out for a bunch of people.  Also there is a really great mexican restaurant called Mijares that isn't in old town so it won't be as crazy to get there, we are actually thinking about going there for our rehearsal dinner but not sure yet.  Another good one is called Green Street Restaurant they have more like American California cuisine they are also not in old town but off of Lake.  HTH and GL!

    My friend hosted a rehearsal dinner at Cafe Bizou (sp?) and said she really liked it.

    If you are willing to go a little further - I recommend Raffi's in Glendale.  It is awesome persian food, and they have a very cute restuarant- most is sot of outdoor street cafe from europe feel.  Very popular place !

    Try Il Fornaio - it's very cute in Old Town area and from what I remember, it was decently priced. 

    Good luck!

    Check out Cafe Santorini and their private dining area called the Rococo Room. Good luck!

    The large entertainment company I work for has used Gale's for small private gatherings and Twin Palms for large parties. 
    I liked both. Gale's is a very nice family place with outstanding food.

    I second the Rococo Room at Cafe Santorini - it's charming with all of the twinkle lights above, and the food is reasonably priced and delicious!

    Ditto on Cafe Santorini. A friend of mine had her Rehearsal dinner there and it was great.  Very reasonable prices from what I hear also.  Another place in Pasadena that's really cute is Villa Soriso.  They have a private area there and the food is good too.  Good luck!
