Fountini's is our favorite Fountain Hills restaurant. Â We eat there at least once a week, usually on Fri. nights. Â The daily Happy Hour house wine is very good & only $3.00! Â The staff is friendly & efficient, especially Bruce. Â The chef is great with lots of tasty specialties. Â We really enjoy Dave Karl's music on Friday nights. Â He's a real crowd pleaser!
Review Source:Fountini's is one of our favorite restaurants.We eat there at least once a week and especially enjoy the live music on Wednesday nights provided by Dave Karl.
Fountini's is a very happening place, they have something going almost every evening -- karaoke, DJ, live music etc. If you are in Fountain Hills you definitely need to check it out.
I went to Fountini's on a Monday night around 6:30 pm. The service was good, as my party and I were just getting a glass of wine. The fact that they serve house wine for $3 during Happy Hour, it's hard to go anywhere else. The house Cabernet was exceptionally good. (Maybe it was the $3 speaking.)
The reasons why I can't give 5 stars is the place cleared out and we were left with a small family that let their children run all over the place. A little girl was up at the bar for a minute, and then prancing around the dance floor. Mom was yelling at both her, the son, AND the father to all get a grip. This was incredibly awkward, especially since I was trying to have a relaxing conversation. I'm guessing if there were more customers, none of this would have gone down. As it seemed like the wait staff didn't care because the place was empty.
In addition, the place cleared out. COMPLETELY. So my party of 2 had the place all to ourselves. This was uncomfortable. Truthfully, I think with their Happy Hour and $3 glasses of wine, friendly staff and service, and nice atmosphere, it is unacceptable to have only 2 people in there during dinner time.
Again, $3 glasses of good wine. Why aren't more people taking advantage of this?
Went there with a group of 6 after an outing to Saguaro Lake as it was on the way home. The food (crusted Walleye special) was REALLY Great and the service was good too! AND when the Karaoke started and we thought it would be time to leave, we were pleasantly surprised that it was a hang out for GOOD singers!! LOL!!! Â Very casual and friendly atmosphere and a lot of fun. We even got up and danced on the stage (which was not being used as there is only live music mostly in the winter season when there are more winter residents)!! Â It was well worth the detour into Fountain hills and finding it.......
Review Source:What a disaster. Â Horribly managed on a Friday night. Â Something I ordered never made it to the table and I had to leave after 40+ min of waiting. Â Server said she had to "get her manager" to remove the charge!
Empty drinks, generally ignored, even when not that busy.
The place is designed poorly, with the servers always down at one end of the bar and running back and forth, etc.
Had a lot of fun here in the past but whoever was managing on 1/27 needs to go.
After my bad review, I got a personal email from the owner acknowledging my comments and sincerely apologizing. Â Wow, that was the first time this has happened to me. Â I didn't respond, but instead just made my way back in, anonymously. Â
So, I still love the crab cakes and Mary and Nikki are even better than before and this time the whole place seemed to have a better vibe. Â Was it my review? Â NO!!! LOL. Â Maybe I just spoke too soon on a new place in town.
Being an older crowd in Fountain Hills (I am 15 years younger than almost all of my neighbors) it is an odd thing to have a DJ spinning on a weekend - but as fuddy duddy as I am for my age, doesn't mean it isn't just what the doctor ordered for some.
John - thanks for reaching out to me. Â I wish you the best with Fountini's and just know that you haven't lost my business.
