Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: Okay, first trip here but have been driving past and couldn't wait to try it- we were finally able to since we came in Sunday, as we have tried going there Mondays and they are closed (inconvenient). My house marg was decent, the chips ok, salsa was fair but the hotter of the two tasted like canned tomato paste with some spice added haphazardly. Unfortunately, the service was awful. Side plates and silverware and napkins are nice to have... Refilling iced teas, the waitress asked if my fellow patrons would like more ice, since it had been so long all the ice melted. The obvious answer is yes please more ice, this being *iced tea and all. The pollo fundido was too smothered and too soggy, the rice and beans were decent. My boyfriend's chimi didn't have much meat There was a mix up with our check which topped off the Poor Service Cherry and the waitress didn't seem too concerned or bothered by overcharging us by $20 when we brought it to her attention. Also, for being brand new I was surprised to find the bathroom smelled like sewage, come on, that's gross. With all the mexican food restaurants in the area, La Fonda falls short.

Answer: I was in town for a conference without a car and decided to check Simon out with a few new friends from the conference. Wow! We were totally not expecting how great this place would be. There were some pros and cons, but the food totally made it worth it. First of all, we got there around 6:30 on a Monday night and were told that because we didn't have reservations, we would be seated at a high top at the bar. We were a little confused because the restaurant was dead, but shrugged it off and figured it would get busy later. It never did. It remained mostly empty for the next two hours. We all ordered the pop rocks martini and it was to die for, very unique and not too sweet. We ended up ordering a sushi roll and side each and putting them all in the center of the table, family style, and sampling each others selections. This is definitely the best way to go. We ordered three sushi rolls, which were rather forgettable and I can't even remember their names. But the sides were exceptional. Truffled mac and cheese, tempura Brussels sprouts, and wasabi mashed potatoes. Holy cow. I can't even decide which one was my favorite. The waitress was very sweet, she even brought us a complementary plate of cotton candy before we left and was kind enough to split the tab. It wasn't even as expensive as I thought it was going to be, another definite plus. Give this place a try if you have the time!
