Really good ambiance here and be sure to make reservations in advance the food is good i really like the mezze platter the best more than the pizza the service is oblong and multiple staff come to help out and check in with you. by the time the mezze platter was finished it took awhile for the pizza to arrive and it was very cold the flavors were good but it was so cold and tasted like it was out waiting until the first appetizers were done. 7/10 good vibes and allure i like it

Perfect spot for a bachelorette dinner! The space is beautiful, festive, and HUGE (it felt like we could be in another city) and we loved the variety of cocktail and food options. It's a fun place so I would definitely recommend for any group celebration.

i'm sorry to say it but this place was a rip off. based off of the pricing, i thought this was going to be a fine dining experience. but i am someone who is in the fine dining industry, so it felt far from that. i asked for bottled still water & it came in a bottle they just continued to refill all night? i felt super rushed by the server & the server assistants. constantly trying to pull plates we weren't finished with & rushing an order out of us. we were on our anniversary dinner, they did nothing to help us commemorate. our server didn't even wish us a happy anniversary but the hostess did. our server went missing for the last 20 minutes to the point where we just cancelled dessert & left. everything felt like a facade. food was incredible i will say & the place is definitely "instagrammable" but i will not return to Fandi Mata.

Rip off. I was there with a large group to celebrate a special occasion. During the dinner, we asked a server if we could order 15 tequila shots. He said he would send across a waiter. Instead of the waiter coming over with a menu, they bought the round of the most expensive shots they had, along with the bill. We hadn't even selected the shots, so I don't know how they bought the shots they did. It felt very dishonest, and that they were trying to rip us off.

Enjoyed my meal at this beautiful location. Fandi mata is definitely one of those trendy, instagrammable places but worth it! My drink, amor y amaro was pretty good -- and it came smoked. We started with croquetas which were so good we didn't get a pic. Our waiter also brought us tartare to try. I'm not typically a fan, but it was pretty tasty. I ordered the short rib pasta -- MAN! It was a huge helping which I was not expecting, hello leftovers. It was pretty good, obviously the short rib is the star of this dish. I saved a little space for the ube cheesecake because, of course. While it was good, I was expecting a little more ube flavor.

Ambiance was wonderful but brunch menu items were average at best. One of our orders was missing a main ingredient. Overall I would try this place again for dinner service.

had a fantastic experience last night at fandi mata. service was excellent from the moment we entered, food was delicious, & the espresso martini was too good to snatch a picture (it looked so yummy i literally could not wait to try it - not pictured here but we also had the chicken). skipped out on dessert this time around because we were STUFFED, but will certainly be returning. huge shout out to our server, eduardo, & the lovely hosts. thank you again!
The interior and food are equally stunning here, it’s such a shame the service doesn’t match. My second time here last night and the place was fairly empty yet I felt I was constantly trying to flag a staff member for the drink I ordered or wait 10 mins for them to find someone who could bring red pepper flakes to the table? It’s so frustrating as the food is excellent.

I came here during the pandemic and wasn’t able to sit inside so we had brunch on the outside which was nice. We came back here a few nights ago and was immediately brought to a table even though it was a very busy and packed night. I enjoyed my meal and drinks. Nothing over the top with the food. The ambience is ok just very dark. Nice for a date if you don’t want to see the other person’s face lol. I will most definitely be back. Nice for big groups.

Food was great until...My wife and I went this past Valentines Day weekend. We had several amazing cocktails and the food and service were really good. It was a bit pricey, but well worth the money.Unfortunately on the way home from the restaurant, I began to feel very ill. By 10pm that night I was feverish to the point where I almost passed out and began violently throwing up. I was at the toilet for the following 12 hours unable to get up. At one point I almost thought I had to go to the hospital.My wife graciously called Fandi Mata for me explaining the situation and asking for a refund. Instead of being apologetic, they basically said that we couldn't be sure it was the restaurant's fault for the food poisoning. After explaining that I literally threw up the meal almost immediately after eating it, the management decided they would discuss it and get back to us...they never did.So, I spent $200 on drinks and a great meal only to get some of worst food poisoning of my life. So if you're into that, then this is the place for you. Will not be returning.

Cool ambiance, friendly and attentive service. Space is large and dimly lit, separate bar area on the mezzanine. There is also a large bar downstairs, large cocktails menu. Drinks were tasty but very light on alcohol. I had the espresso martini and the spicy Paloma. My friend had the passion fruit cocktail which was tasty if you prefer something tart. For dinner we shared the ceviche which was our favorite thing, very fresh and tasty, the roasted lamb flatbread which was just ok, very dry, and the Halloumi Fries which are pretty much just fried cheese sticks which came with a yummy curry ketchup. Overall a cute spot, perfect for date night or a light dinner. During the week they have live music.
