    Ordered 2 filets and lobster. One filets was raw=bloody, second was well done. Both were ordered medium rare. First one came back well done. Second one was replaced and cooked properly. Lobster must have been past date because was VERY salty. They brought another order and it was the same. Inedible. Paid for wine and one steak and left hungry. Despite the food, the server was very nice and tried hard. Tipped him directly.

    We look forward to a visit to Fandango every year when we go to Spanish Bay. The servers are friendly, the prices fair, especially the wine list. They execute a large menu with style and quality. We love the sand dabs, the rack of lamb, the abalone, and the Dover sole. It was a meatless day for me so no osso bucco. But that will be for next time. They make you feel so welcome.

    We live in Pacific Grove and Fandangos is one of our favorite go-to restaurants. The service is always professional and restaurant has a great menu to choose from.

    We will not go for a holiday fixed menu again. Service felt rushed. Food was not up to our expectations. We have enjoyed so many meals here through the years it was most disappointing
