Fandee's - Sebastopol

Good food Attentive Servers The hostess could be more welcoming/accommodating. They don 't accept reservations on the weekends, which is odd, and inconvenient, as the weekends are really when you need reservations. I got to restaurant early for a breakfast with girlfriends, and called from the parking lot while finishing my make up. I asked if I could give my name and number for the next available table for 3, as it looked like there was a wait. She said that 's not how it works. How it works is you come in, and wait for a table. I don 't take names or call people. Okay. But it 's not like she has a lot to do. It 's a small restaurant, and it might behoove her, not to mention the restaurant, to be a tad more accommodating. We had to wait about 5 minutes not bad. And the food was very good, not to mention beautifully presented. Our waitress was kind, and friendly. Overall, it was a lovely time.

The restaurant itself was cozy, clean and the patio is really nice to sit on. We had gone in-between lunch and dinner so it was relatively slow time of day but the service was still pretty slow as well. We were a little bummed because 4 out of the 5 meals we ordered had avocado but when we got our food there was no avocado on anything then when we asked about it, we were told they were all out of avocado. The waiter should've informed us of this while ordering so we could've made a different choice if we wanted too. Overall it's a nice restaurant with good food but they should just be upfront if they don't have certain products and more attentive to the customers.

Burger was solid but that was THE most bland fried chicken I have ever tasted. The chicken was very moist and the outside was perfectly crispy but there were absolutely zero spices added to the batter. I cannot believe I finally found a place that made me regret ordering fried chicken.

The good: the food was very good, especially for the price. The bad: we were sat in the last booth. Our server was pleasant enough, but after she brought our food, she said that she was going to bring salt and pepper. After waiting several minutes, we had to get up and ask her to bring it. And that took a few min. Our cups were both empty on the edge of the table when she brought it. She never came back to our table. Once again, after well over 10 minutes of eating with no drinks, we had to get up to get her attention. (At this time a young man was going around and filling everyone's water except ours). It was a frustrating experience, being ignored to that degree.

Fandee's is always a great choice in Sebastopol. Friendly service, great food. Love their Cobb salad, fried calamari, but never had anything that wasn't excellent. And a selection of local beers on tap! Give it a try if you haven't, go back and support them if you have been there!
