Fandango Restaurant

We enjoyed our dinner here. The food was pretty good (perhaps not quite amazing), service was friendly while a bit slow (more on this later). Interesting old building added to the overall atmosphere. I struggled to decide between 4 and 5 stars and settled on 4 after they gave me my port several minutes after my wife got a desert - soufflé (so as you can imagine there was no soufflé left at that point). Perhaps a minor issue for some people, but it gave me confidence in my 4 star rating. I’d still recommend to visit and we’ll likely come again. Oh, good wine selection also.

Just had a cocktail at the bar, which was comfortable. Really nice service and the drink was well served. The story of the Restaraunt is right near the bar, and it involves the founder of Seagate, Al Shugart… great reminder to go pursue your interests! I’d def come back both to bar and for food - staff seemed really committed to ensuring your satisfaction.

Went for an early, midweek dinner. Host was very gracious and accommodating. Wanted scallops, but special was overpriced at $66, so opted for the salmon pasta, instead, which was a good-sized portion and very tasty. Accompanying bread should have been better and served warm. Good wine list. Interior/decor needs updating.

I don't give out a lot of five star ratings, but Fandango deserves it. We've been coming here for many years and last night was fantastic! Miguel, the manager, is really nice and he seated us at our usual table for two next to the window. Our server Angel was outstanding and funny. He's very attentive and knows what he's doing. The food was absolutely delicious! We started with Caprese, followed by Fresh Scallops (forgot to take picture) and the Abalone special. For dessert, we had the Souffle Grand-Marnier. If you've never eaten here, you should try it. We'll be back!

We have been here several times through the years when we visit Pacific Grove. We live in MD but lived here many years ago. Our dinner tonight was in celebration of our 53rd anniversary and it was perfect! Jorge was our waiter and he took such great care of us and surprised us with an amazing dessert! Our Surf and Turf dinner was delicious and the whole evening was a great celebration for us. Highly recommend Fandango for your dining pleasure.

Hands amazing food excellent service my family and I were super pleased Juan was an amazing server.

This was the perfect spot for dinner and just a short walk from my hotel. The restaurant was bustling for a weeknight, but I was seated right away. Despite how busy it was, the staff was incredibly attentive. My beet salad and calamari were fantastic, and even though I was already full, my server graciously offered me a free dessert to make up for a small order mix-up, which was quickly corrected. This lovely restaurant is a must for Italian food lovers, and I’d happily return!

I tried the New York strip, and it was spot on cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The sides, from the creamy mashed potatoes to the perfectly seasoned green beans, were just as delicious and tied the meal together. The staff here is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. The ambiance of the restaurant is very relaxing. it’s the perfect spot for a nice dinner night out, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a quiet evening. Everything about my experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
