I think Southbay is a good middle ground between Pasadena and Huntington Beach. Christine in Torrance is a favorite in the area: www.restaurantchristine.com. It's kind of Cal-Mediterranean, and it's a special occasion kind of place. If you want a casual restaurant, Musha in Torrance is a Japanese place that might work. I feel like it may be noisy later in the evening, but not if you go on the earlier side. You might get more replies if you hone in on a particular area between Pasadena and HB, and a price range.
