We had the Thanksgiving menu and loved every bite. Would love to go back and try the regular menu. The building itself was amazing. Little rooms all over the place. Our room just had 4 tables in there. Intimate dining for sure. It was a little pricey but the service, food and wine made it feel not quite as bad. We were actually amazed to find the restaurant was open on Thanksgiving Day. Kudos to all the waitstaff!

Food and service was excellent. Prices are $$$$. Chairs could be more comfortable. Short rib and lamb was excellent. We've been coming here for many years. We'll be back for special occasions.

We had a fantastic meal - very sophisticated and subtle flavor. The service was excellent and the ambience perfect for a catch up with friends we hadn't seen in quite some time.

We were a bit late for our reservation due to the weather and we were walking in the rain, walking the wrong direction. The hostess and owner were very kind and service was warm & friendly.

Been here multiple times. Amazing as always but food was a little disappointing. Ordered Chicken Piccata, really dry with barely any sauce. Scalloped potatoes were dry.

Way over priced for pretty bland food, and overall a slow experience. We eat out a lot and this was frankly disappointing. Had the paella and the salmon pepperdelle, house salad, calamari, and soufflé, and while it was all ok, there are many other far superior restaurants in Pacific Grove, Monterey, and Carmel, and my wife felt ill after. Sad. Plus they warned us the soufflé takes a while so we ordered it right at the start, and they must have forgotten to get it started so we waited 30minutes after finishing our food for it to arrive. Maybe this feedback will help them be better.

Our dinner was completely undercooked. We had to send it back. The service was slow however, the bread was wonderful and it was fun visiting with the lettuce growers from Salinas Valley in the bar earlier.

The service was off...noticeably off and slow. We are longtime customers going back well over a decade. It made for a sub par anniversary experience.

Pricey but great food and service. However, when I go back I will not order a single malt scotch as I paid $42.95 for a glass of Oban.....my preferred single malt....but I can purchase an entire bottle of 14 year Oban for just over $90....

Unfortunately we had a terrible meal at Fandango yesterday. My husband was so excited that the sweetbreads piccata were back on the menu. Well they were awful. Dried out, chewy and hardly any sauce. I had French onion soup which was good, but the appetizer sand dabs had no flavor. The wines by the glass list was very limited.

We have been coming here forever. It is our preferred restaurant for celebrations, special occasions and out-of-town guests. The service, ambiance, and attentive and competent staff are a joy. The food is outstanding—never disappointing. We had our 40 year Wedding Anniversary dinner at Fandango this week and we are hoping for many more opportunities to enjoy this special restaurant. Bravo to the chef and staff!

We had a great time and the meal was fantastic. Even the paella was top notch. They focus on their amazing wine list, but the bartender that night made the best martini we've had in a long time.
