Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Monrovia

I’ve been seeing Osa Rooftop pop up on social media since it opened, and it’s always caught my attention while driving along Colorado Boulevard, especially with its old-fashioned films projected onto the wall. Friday night was a little busy, as expected, but our reservation was honored promptly with no wait. We were seated outdoors with a beautiful view of the San Gabriel Mountains, which were partially hidden in the evening clouds. The staff was attentive and friendly from the moment we arrived, checking in throughout our drinks and dinner without making us feel rushed. The cocktails were fantastic! I ordered the Sweet Relief, a vodka, grapefruit, and rosemary combination that was excellent. The Negroni and martini were equally well executed. Dinner was where Osa really shined. The steak frites was a classic and delivered as expected, but the standout was the al pastor chicken with Napa cabbage salad. Absolutely incredible! To top off the evening, Osa was projecting the original black-and-white Dracula, which was a perfect touch for Halloween weekend. Between the atmosphere, excellent cocktails, delicious food, and attentive service, Osa made for a wonderful Friday evening. Definitely looking forward to returning!

It was a delicious and full filling experience. Very fast paced and enjoyable.

Truly an exceptional dining experience! From the exquisite food and beautiful presentation to the elegant atmosphere and impeccable service, every detail reflects a commitment to excellence. The quality of the cuisine, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make this restaurant stand out. It is rare to find a place where everything comes together so beautifully. A truly memorable experience, and I would highly recommend Yakiya to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience.Thank You will be back soon 😋

The food is always great, but Chandler did an exceptional job cooking our meal. The seafood was perfectly cooked

We had an amazing time and our waitress Sam was also phenomenal and went above and beyond to make my husbands birthday super special. We enjoyed the food and the games definitely a fun night out.
