Restaurants near Pony Express Pavilion

Expected a bit of “more show than go” but was impressed overall. The atmosphere and vibe, of course, is extremely pleasing. There were nine of us and we were pleased to be accommodated. Our server did a really really good job. A group of our size can be a lot but she handled us with the upmost professional and timely service possible. Collectively we ordered most of the menu. The hits: the bread course, the goat cheese balls with hot honey, the sliders and the very ample lobster Cobb. The one big miss: Tuna tostadas. A nice portion of 3 but compared to EVERYTHING else it was utterly bland. Here’s the secret… order the goat cheese balls and save the slaw to top the tuna and it’s a hit. The other miss: they would NOT serve anyone sitting in a bar stool. The ladies had seats but our husbands had to stand and the refused service.  I can understand a concern about the walkways filling with too many folks for the servers to work around but this really is a bad policy.  we ultimately left for another pre dinner drink at the bar before returning for dinner.  never give your patrons a reason to leave the restaurant or you might not get them back. Our server had no idea who the producer of Vanderpump Cab from Sonoma was. She should be provided that information. That said we had a fabulous night and highly recommend and will absolutely return. Final note:  we own four restaurants, one of which has been operating for over 40 years as well as a winery in Napa Valley. We know well crafted cusine and fine tuned hospitality. Lisa has both dialed in perfectly except for the few glitches mentioned above.

Great food and service. Nice date night out. Pricey.

The service is great, with many long term waiters working there. The food is great, good mix of steaks and seafood. We went to celebrate a birthday and the host as well as the waiter were sure to mention it and sing the song with a free dessert included. Wine prices and selection are good.

We ate last night at Mangia Tutto's for my wife's birthday. Service and food were well above expectations and the server brought my wife a cheesecake after dinner with a candle on it. This just seemed like a special evening for her. I know she thought so. Well done.

It’s always a treat to go to Fumo’s. The food is great, the service is friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is casual and cozy. You won’t go wrong at Fumo’s.
