Fusion cuisine with European, Latino and Asian influences, one of the most famous Chef in the country. Unique dishes in relaxed and elegant room. Good wine list tables, should be reserved.

We had dinner there last night 11/05 and we ordered as first courses the Thai salad and the duck ham - bough very well done dishes - great presentation too, as next course we had the steak (Lomo ) and I ordered one of their signature dishes the chicken curry and while the lomo was also excellent with a side of rucula salad and goat cheese, my curry was disappointing - I did ask for a level 2 spicy ( out of 3 ) and my dish was less than 0 in flavor - also I would think made the day before and warmed up (but of course cannot be sure ) anyway that was the only downside - as desert we had a choclate mouse with a topping of orange cream and all good - service a bit slow but the place was packed so no problem there - the owner was present the the restaurant was humming =

My wife and I visited La Fonda for New Year's Eve. They had a tasting menu that sounded interesting and dynamic. When we arrived, we noticed that the restaurant had been rearranged to include many more tables than the space allowed with some chairs touching back to back. One table was so uncomfortable that I watched multiple parties turn it down when seated there.As the dinner began, the servers seemed overwhelmed and it was difficult to get their attention. I don't blame the servers themselves as the restaurant could not accommodate additional servers with so many tables filling the space. When they did serve us, they were pleasant and responsive to our requests. The meal began with a lovely welcome cocktail and generous pours of their unlimited wine pairings. However, as the food began to arrive, it was clear that the kitchen was overwhelmed as the plates were inconsistent. This was particularly clear with the fish course where my wife's was perfectly flakey and mine had the texture of chicken breast. Each course was served to all the tables at once and I suspect that the food was kept under heat lamps or something to that effect while the kitchen prepared all the plates, causing many to overcook.It wasn't all bad though, there was a fun midnight toast where everyone went outside and hugged and watched the fireworks. And when we came back in, desserts we're served, which were arguably the standout courses of the meal. Overall, the ambiance and concept were great but there were just too many tables. They'd be much better served to pare down the number of tables and bump up the prices a bit. La Fonda is likely a great choice for dinner any night of the year but avoid the holiday tasting menus.

No question that the kitchen puts outs some really creative, interesting sounding fare, much of it twists on classic local or Spanish dishes. And service is delightful. The problem for us came in that the creativity seems to come without the backup of solid cooking. The old adage of "taste, taste, taste" for any aspiring cook or chef seems to have been lost here, as each dish just simply... lacked, in seasoning and balance. With a group of four, we'd pretty much planned to make our way through most of the menu - but after sampling a quintet of the tapas, we looked at each other, called it quits, and went to a bar for chivito sandwiches. Fairly expensive, too, especially for tapas sized plates.
