Pandos — Restaurant in New York

My trivia team and I had a very confusing experience at Pando Park.

Some food items, like the yucca fries and mac and cheese, were quite good, while others, like the gnocchi and farro bowl, were not at all impressive. The farro bowl on the menu contained chives, grapes, and pear- the farro bowl we received contained none of those ingredients. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she took it back to the kitchen and returned it to us with a sliced pear that had not been cored, and no changes otherwise.

I asked for a Shirley Temple and was provided with a blackberry-based drink.

In addition, they provided a small stage and spotlight free of charge. Add to that the convenience of a private bar and the staff bringing around trays of absolutely delicious treats for any arrangement of dietary needs? Exceptional evening. Cannot recommend...
