    The food was very good, our waiter was marginal. He got a few things wrong and wasn’t very friendly until the end when we were about to pay. The manager or owner who fretted us and brought our wine was super nice.

    We were looking forward to our dining experience at Fandango because of the rave review from a relative. I think it is pretty sad when you look back on a very expensive meal and realize the dessert was the best out of everything we ordered. I had an abalone special and it came so quickly that I felt like we were being rushed and that the whole thing was already made all they had to do was heat it up. It seemed like the abalone was already breaded (not lightly) and pouring sauce over it was all that needed to be done. My husband had veal piccata and he felt the same way. It was fixed exactly like the abalone.

    I love this restaurant but it is very loud. If you're hard of hearing dining here could be problematic.

    We had not been to Fandango for many many years and was very please to find that nothing has changed, from the perfect rack of lamb to the over the top Grandmanier soufle! Will be back with many family members from now on.
