    Made a reservation for party of 4 for 7 pm. Met our other couple perhaps an hour in advance for pre-dinner drinks in the bar. Other couple arrived first and was told they could not sit at a high top table that appeared to be part of the bar area. Manager was very hostile about this. They explained that we had a reservation and were allowed to be seated. We joined them for the pre-dinner drinks. As 7 pm approached I approached the hostess and said we were ready to be seated for dinner. Was told our reservation was not on the books. Finally found out that because we had been “seated” in the bar area that our reservation was fulfilled. Asked to move to a low top table for dinner. Was denied, and said that could not be done, but would have to eat at the hightop bar table because all tables were taken. Asked to speak with manager, who never came. Throughout our entire meal until our departure, 3-4 low top tables for a party of 4 remained empty and unoccupied. The only thing that saved the evening was the bartender “Lynn”, who ended up doing bar duty and being our waitress. Lynn was very good and cordial, but had to do double duty as bartender and server. Management needs to get their act together and really tone down the hostility, particularly when a customer goes to the trouble of making a reservation in the first place. Not what we expect from La Fogata. Will be a while before we return to this location.

    Our waitress was not friendly nor did she offer menus for drinks, pointed us in the direction of a QR code then when we ordered the drinks she said "those are for the other location, we can't make those here". The food wasn't great, been many times before and food was always good...not Saturday.

    Food was good. Our server Brian was great. We dined on the patio, which was very pleasant The only real issue was that some parents allowed their children to run all over the patio screaming for quite a while.

    From the moment we walked in the door we knew we were going to have a good time. The host greeted us immediately. we were originally going to sit outside, but due to the cool weather asked if indoor could be possible. We knew that since it was last minute and a Saturday evening that this might not be the case, but the staff was able to accommodate our request, which was amazing but not expected considering again it was a Saturday evening. Once seated our server, George was a 10 out of 10 very friendly answer all of our questions even got in to some of our family conversation which was amazing. I would highly recommend coming to this place the food the people the atmosphere all amazing. If you do happen to come, please ask for George as he will go above and beyond to make you and your party feel great.

    Okay this hs been on of our favorite local places for quite some time. Not sure what has happened but the service was poor and unprofessional. And MORE concerning, what have they done to their margaritas? We first tried the frozen house margaritas, tasted like cleaning products, not the usual. Then followed it up with the non frozen, tasted like water and everclear? Are the cutting corners? We couldn’t drink either. Not sure we will be going back…
