It's like "Paris in Pasadena" at this Old Town French from the Smith Brothers, earning a "thumbs-up" for its "enjoyable" menu elevated by specialty cocktails and an "epic" wine list in a "quiet" space whose centerpiece is a 100-year-old mahogany bar; midrange pricing is a plus, and although a few find fault with "inconsistent" food and service, most leave "satisfied."
Veteran Pasadena restaurateurs Bob and Gregg Smith (Parkway Grill, Arroyo Chophouse) also have this lively French bistro in their repertoire, located in historic Old Pasadena. A massive antique bar anchors the front of the restaurant, which transitions into a spacious dining room in which French beverage posters line dark-wood walls. Bistro classics dominate the menu, and a wine list offers...
We had a lovely dinner here on a Wednesday evening in May. The restaurant was quiet, the service attentive and professional (kudos to Lorena), and the food outstanding.

Aiming for typical French bistro in design and offerings, Cheval Bistro does nothing to distinguish itself from the competition. While some offerings (eg the crepes) were quite good, others were indifferent at best. We were a late seating, but service was subpar on several levels. Other, better, choices in LA area and elsewhere for bistro style cuisine
I was a little leery about going to a French restaurant as I am not a fan of sauces. I had the Filet Mignon which was cooked perfectly medium rare. The staff was very accommodating substituting green beans for potatoes. The atmosphere was lovely as was our waitress.
