- BbaileyOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoEverything was perfect. I cannot recommend this spot enough!! The waiter was so friendly and gave us as much time as we needed to look at the menu as well as being attentive when we had questions or ready to order! The decor is beautiful. Everything is priced perfectly. I cannot wait to come back.More infoIl VecchioPrice: Moderate• Italian• Pacific Grove•4.5
- VVickiSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoI chose Fandango for my birthday dinner because of its excellent and diverse menu, asking for a quiet corner. As it's popular and sometimes noisy, we went early to dodge the crowds. To my delight and gratitude, they seated us in a pleasant, small, quiet room by ourselves. Only by the time we reached dessert did a few other guests join us. It was perfect. The servers were thoughtful and attentive. I ordered sweetbreads, which are hardly served anywhere else, and while they weren't the best I've ever, they were very good. Our desserts were excellent. The whole experience met and exceeded my expectations and desires.More infoFandangoPrice: Expensive• European• Pacific Grove•4.7

- CCandyceSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 15, 2024Such a great restaurant. We were there early (long story), but were seated anyway. Monterey had just experienced a huge rainstorm and power outage (although Fisherman's Wharf seems to have gotten its power back sooner than the neighboring area). The servers and staff were unbothered and waitstaff was prompt, cordial, and friendly. Plus the food was great! you can't go wrong with seafood in Monterey. But this was a notch up.More infoDomenico's on the WharfPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.5
- NNeliVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 9, 2024This is fhe first time my family visited Abalonetti Bar and Grill, and we liked it. The food was delishious, and the service was spotless. I especially liked the oysters with pesto, and my husband liked the crusted rockfish. My mother enjoyed her angel hair pasta, too. On the flip side, they have only four deserts on the menu and tiramisu is not one of them. They do not have espresso, either. Very disappointing. I recommend this restaurant for its great location, delicious food and the friendly and professional service.More infoAbalonetti Bar and GrillPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.4
