    We went early and started in the bar as they had a jazz band playing. They were not too loud and it was nice listening to them. We had the Queso appetizer in the bar without meat and it had the right amount of spice. The margarita selection was excellent! We were seated by the fountain when we moved to the restaurant which was very nice. Our server was Bryan L and he was exceptional! My husband had the steak frites and I had the lobster Mac and cheese which were both very good.

    Hi Christine! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are delighted that you enjoyed your drinks, and Queso in the lounge, and dinner with Bryan, and the team in the restaurant! Bryan is definitely a La Fonda Ambassador of authentic hospitality, and how lovely you had a "fountain table"! Please come back and visit with us again soon! Until then, Kindly, Deborah Newman

    A perfect experience. I had the sea bass and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Our waiter was attentive yet sensed we were in no hurry and adjusted accordingly. The beautiful, high ceilinged room provided an engaging atmosphere that complemented the food. Not cheap, but worth it. We will return.

    See I e was very slow and had food but no drink. Too many people standing around who could have gotten drinks. Waitress was overwhelmed with too many tables.
