Xiomara Ardolina, who was born in Cuba and came to the United States at the age of 13, has established herself as one of the top restaurateurs in Southern California. Her first restaurant, The Epicurean in La Canada, operated for 12 successful years and was considered by many as the best in fine dining. In 1991, Xiomara relocated her restaurant to the newly rejuvenated Old Pasadena, renaming it Xiomara. Featuring French cuisine, within two years, it was recognized as one of the finest restaurants in the entire Los Angeles area. In her 1993 review of Xiomara, distinguished Los Angeles Times restaurant critic Ruth Reichl described the food as quot;rustic, yet refined” and noted Xiomara’s graciousness, stating quot;she is a beautiful bundle of outgoing energy… and has a knack of putting people at ease.” Other critics agreed with Reichl. S. Irene Virbila of the Los Angeles Times wrote, quot;I would have to look hard to find such a meal.quot;
