I love Andalu. I always take my friends from out of town here. It's all about the Gruyere fondue. Served with toast and apples and pears...and simply awesome. The Ahi tacos ar...

I have to agree with the previous review: great food but the portions were awfully stingy with the prices they charge. It may work when the dot-com was still booming or if you wan...

overpriced and small portions 7/26/2002

I visited this ""tapas"" bar with a few friends one evening thinking I was going to get some yummy tfood. To my surprise the food was not very good, extremely small portions even for tapas, and very expensive for what you get. Andalu seems to try and give tapas an asian/spanish flare and it just doesn't work. One particular dish was a scallops tapas. Here we got 3 scallops and paid $14.00. I couldn't believe it. p.s not good for vegetarians! more

Not small, but microscopic plates 7/10/2002

I'm sorry but I fail to understand why there are so many high ratings for this restaurant. We waited for 1 hour to be seated, only to find it overpriced, portions miniscule and the food mediocre. Pan seared day boat scallops, which cost around $15-20 consisted of three scallops sitting on a tablespoon of mashed potatos, and they gave a new definition to ""mini"" with their mini-tacos. Pros: trendy Cons: tiny portions, food not so great, rude waitress more

Andalu kicks tapa ass 7/8/2002

Delicious combinations and fine, friendly service make this restaurant a solid dinner choice. Normally, I shy away from anything that boasts of a ""fusion"" of cuisine (pick a country and go with it, if you know what I mean), but Andalu crafts their food with such care that both simple and complex tastes are achieved with enormous success. A decent wine list rounds out the changing menu. The service was excellent the evening I ate there, which was a slammed and crowded Friday. For those who so readily complained of bad service, take a look in the mirror and give the place another try. This place rocks and will be here for a few years. Pros: Delicious, Stylish, Fun Cons: Noisy, Crowded more

see for yourself 7/3/2002

i just read some of reviews people wrote about the restaurant Andalu. i was shocked!! i could not believe it when i saw words like rude, and uninformed. i consider myself a regular at Andalu, and spend my time and money there for a reason. i find the energetic staff to be positive and extremely down to earth. i am very thankful to have such a delicious, comfortable, and fun restaurant in the neighborhood! Pros: fun staff, excellent food, good neighborhood more

If dining is about a complete experience, from service to food to atmosphere to (most importantly) personal interaction, Andalu is the best place in town. more

Do you like horrible service? 6/10/2002

We went to Andalu with my girlfriend's parents for part of her birthday celebration. While our waitress was nice, the service was incredibly bad and this was a Monday! Bread never arrived, clueless waitstaff brought the wrong dishes (more than once) to our table, our wine serving occurred after we received our first appetizers, we had ordered a birthday dessert that - here's a concept - never came. On top of that, the place was unbearably hot. I've enjoyed Andalu's fish tacos in the past, and some other items as well, but the bad attitude of the hostess should have given us clear warning to stay away. more

A disappointment 5/27/2002

I was really looking forward to eating at Andalu, but was sorely disappointed by the mediocre food and inattentive service. Although we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, for the money, I wouldn't recommend it at all. Pros: Great ambience/crowd Cons: Poor food more

Loved it 5/16/2002

Chic little spot with fabulous food. Ideal to go with 4 people so you can try everything. Everything about this place is great but you can end up spending a lot of $$$. more

Small plates, great taste at Andalu

Owner Message

  • Andalu combines an outstanding selection of eclectic small plates with a festive and informal atmosphere to create a complete dining experience. Now with a full bar and 40 wines by the glass!
    The cuisine explodes with flavor in every dish. Great for couples on up to large groups, Andalu also features a mezzanine that is great for private events and wine dinners
