    From the time we walked in til the time we left we were made to feel so at home by the ENTIRE staff. The food was impeccable! The Rack of Lamb may have been the best I’ve ever had. We highly recommended Fandango

    I liked everything about my dinner at Fandango. I had a tough time with the menu because I wanted everything on it! Everything we ordered (there were 4 of us) we loved. The service was impeccable. The restaurant is cozy with a fireplace on one side.I will be coming back more often!

    We went to Fandango for a special anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. We asked for a quiet, romantic table and we were rewarded with a very small room with only three tables, for from the more active part of the restaurant. Dinner was outstanding. I had the fantastic duck a l'orange, my wife had the osso buco. Both were fabulous. We finished it off with Grand Marnier Souffle, which was like eating cloud. We'll definitely return for another special occasion.

    My wife and I have been going to Fandango for over 20 years and greatly appreciate the service and quality of the food - great selection. We miss seeing Pierre Bain and were sad to hear of his passing. He was an amazing person and established Fandangos as one of the premier restaurants in the Monterey area.
