Distinguished food and ambience. Attentive and experienced wait staff. Excellent experience.

TO MANY PEOPLE IN SMALL DINING ROOMS. WE HAD TO LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DINNER. VERY DISAPPOINTING. THEY DO NOT FOLLOW COVID GUIDELINES.

Had fabulous escargots, French onion soup, sand daps and portfolio’s for desert. Outstanding!

It was my wife’s birthday. We were right in front of the fireplace. They even served her a birthday cream puff with ice cream and candle. The service was great and food delicious!

Thank you!

A wide-ranging menu featuring a mix of dishes from all around the Mediterranean (Provence, Italy, Algeria) some authentic, some not. (The "tapas" are Americanized antipasti.) There are also lots of Monterey favorites like sand dabs and calamari.
The Algerian lamb with couscous was truly wonderful and unique, served with an array of side ingredients for a DIY experience. I'd go back just for that alone. They also do a brisk business in Grand Marnier soufflés for dessert. We didn't happen to order one, but we saw many pass by.

All Was Awesome 👏

Service Food 🥘 quality The Best!

Thank You 🙏 JH

Nous sommes allés au Fandango pour notre dîner de Thanksgiving et nous avons été déçus.
Les plats proposés étaient corrects mais le service moyen. Les profiteroles étaient décevantes. Vraiment bof bof pour un menu à $75

Thanksgiving Day Special Meals are expensive and poorly prepared.

Thanksgicing

Excellent turkey day dinner…the spinach mimosa salad with champagne vinegrette dressing was excellent… the turkey dinner was spot on …deserts got a solid B+…..service was attentive and not bothersome at all ….great choice for a quiet, peaceful thanksgiving meal

Enjoyed another Thanksgiving dinner at Fandango. Food was good, but different that the past (no pate- a favorite!). What was most different was that we felt very rushed by the staff. It made the experience border on unpleasant.

The food was outstanding. The service was surprisingly inattentive. Both salads and entrees came out at different times for our 4 diners.

Lovely restaurant for a special night out with delicious food, ample choices, romantic and warm environment, and excellent friendly service. They made my daughter’s birthday special!

I'm just going to enter a bunch of text, here, because OpenTable is requiring me to have a review which is at least "this tall", and that's a stupid requirement.

From start to finish, the service was excellent. We enjoyed the Tapas appetizer, followed by a caesar salad and hearts of palm salad. The caesar was perfectly balanced and the hearts of palm was so delicious. For our entrees, we had sand dabs and salmon. Wow! It was so tasty and beautifully prepared. We then shared the most phenomenal soufflé I think I have ever had. We finished the meal with a wonderful port. It was a wonderful meal and the service was perfect in every way.

Great food and location!

We have been going to Fandango's for many years when we travel to the Monterey/Carmel area. The food has always been excellent and never disappoints.

We went for my son's birthday. The service was good, the ambience was nice but the food was just meh even though we ordered what was recommended; the paella, short ribs and the oso bucco. We were all underwhelmed with our dinners and disappointed. Very expensive for just an ok dinner.

This has been one of my favorite restaurants for many years. Last nights dinner was disappointing. The duck was served in large chunks and unappealing. The calamari steak was tough. The potato serving on both plates was the size of a quarter.

The food and the service were both very good. The atmosphere is outstanding. The menu is mouth watering.

Waited a long time for receptionist to show up. Heart of palm salad was good. Duck orange had no taste, paella was bad, grand Maniere Soufflé had no grand maniere taste. Used to be our favorite in Pacific Grove, not any more.

Great service and would return again. Short rib dinner needed more salt (flavor)

Excellent, as always. Had the filet and lobster tail. Perfectly prepared. Excellent service. Intimate, comfortable and charming environment.

Our favorite (and most delicious) dining experience of our 5-day visit to Pacific Grove, CA!

Great Great restaurant first time they’re good service good food I’ll be back

Excellent food, service, noise level, ambience.

Thank you.

From the moment we walked in, to the moment we walked out, it was a fabulous experience!!
Such a lovely way to celebrate family birthdays. Definitely will return.
Thank you

Greta experience, and our Waiter Carlos was fantastic.

On the expensive end but for a special occasion worth it. Food and service were excellent.

Our dinner started with hands down the best Ceasar salad. The staff is very attentive with excellent service and our overall dinner was excellent! Fandango is a must you won't be disappointed.

The ambience was outstanding as well as the food and attentive, pleasant servers. We had a great evening and we’ll be back!

Amazing dining experience.
The food is always the best quality and the service is above and beyond!
Warm fire was cozy with a view of the town all lit up.

Great service by Carlos, our server.
Sandabs were outstanding and the favorite for the evening.

Good, food could be hotter

Overall, Fandango is a nice place. Our waiter was good and quite energetic. As for the food there could be some improvement. I ordered a Caesar salad and it was lackluster. The dressing was watered down like the lettuce wasn’t dry before adding the dressing. I did ask for anchovies and that helped a little because without them there would be no taste. The Veal Piccata portion was very small as was the side potato accompaniment.
My friends were okay with their meals, but again not great, just okay. The cannolis for dessert was very good. The next time I am in Pacific Grove I don’t think I would go back because there are so many other choices.

Always the best service and food!

Great dinner! We had been wanting to try Fandango since we discovered it. Finally had the chance when we were in the area for a few days. A great dinner and service was excellent, we’ll definitely be back!

We come here every time we’re in town. The food is yummy and the service is very good

This visit was wonderful as always. The food, the staff, and the ambiance is top notch.
If you’ve never been, I highly recommend Fandango.

The food was very good
Service was slow but the atmosphere was impressive
We loved this place and will be back

Be prepared to spend some money
They are very expensive with their prices

Table Bread was very good and fresh


Great find!
