Our last visit was in April 2007. We went to Fandango for a family birthday dinner and the food wasn't great: soggy fried fish, some lukewarm servings, and bland paella. Furthermore, a few of us had different specials, the waiter did not quote the prices, and we were quite suprised when the bill came. All of the specials were at least three times what the regularly priced menu items were (i.e. the special entree we ordered was $75 and special appetizer was $24). The waiter hadn't told us the pricing on the specials, which clearly should happen when they are so high. When we complained to the manager or owner, he told us that our waiter had been with him since the beginning and he "always" quotes the special prices. He clearly hadn't quoted the prices and, based upon other reviews on this website, it seems common that the waiters omit the prices. They also double-charged us for one of our entrees. I really felt that this was deliberately done. We won't go back and I would suggest that you go to another restaurant.

Like others before you, you'll adore Fandango. Fresh-cut flowers adorn the table tops, a crackling fire warms the dining room during the chilly winter months. The earthy smell of fruitwood and mesquite will tempt you to order one of the seafood specialties prepared on the wood-burning grill. Their fresh pasta, paella or couscous is also heavenly. There is an excellent wine list with offerings from Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Algeria, Morroco and California vineyards. It is the type of place you'll want to linger over coffee and dessert. Serves lunch and dinner as well as Sunday brunch.
