    Had a reservation, but had to wait for table. Other than that, it was a great experience. We had eaten there 8 years ago when we stayed at La Fonda.

    We were celebrating my husband's birthday and the food and service were wonderful. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and my husband the Tenderloin Oscar. It was a bit loud and messy at 6 pm with families with small kids but the fountain drowned out some of the noise.
