    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 loved everything we ate- 3 appetizers and our entrees- wagyu beef and the pork chop. Our cocktails were wonderful, as well as the service. After dinner we enjoyed a few minutes on the front patio relaxing around the roaring fire of one of 4 fire pits. It was a perfect dinner out!

    Great views, great staff, great food, the prime rib buffet and salmon was amazing, blue collar meal in billionaire ambiance- everything was awesome except for the one guy wearing a MAGA hat while he was dining. As expected, just what can we do with these nut jobs? Continue to be patient till there is a cure. The Grill is the best. Seaside is my home.
