Enjoy South Pasadena - Eat @ Mike and Anne's Restaurant Located at 1040 Mission Street at the corner of Fairview(just west of Fair Oaks) you will find the delightful resturant Mike and Anne's.   Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday this eclectic indoor-outdoor restaurant and adjacent bar(great for people watching) offers choices from hamburgers to steaks and seafood.   Nice daily specials. I would call it moderately priced with a good selection of wines by the glass(if that's your thing).   Beautiful Mediterranean style garden setting.  Not far from the Mission Gold Line Station should you be commutting from outside South Pasadena though parking is pretty easy and free.     Check them out at http//:www.mikeandannes.com Enjoy South Pasadena -- Eat @ Mike and Anne's...
