been to andalu - always thought food and ambiance amazing, but agree that sometimes it can be more than you think $wise. However, with a little help from the server, you can have an amazing meal at an incredible price.
Try this - here's my current favorite menu for 2 people:
cambazola fondue ($9)
chopped romaine salad (but not if you don't like anchovies!) ($7)
Steak tartare (best in the city - i like it better than bistro jeanty's) ($9)
osso bucco ($9)
banana tart (i think pecan but can't remember for sure) with makers mark ice cream - YUM ($7)
comes to $20 per person for food. Wine is whatever you want it to be- prices are very reasonable vs. other restaurants.
i think a really good/solid value!! love tasting so many different things + i never leave hungry or poor.
Pros: valet available, amazing flavors, reasonable prices
Cons: valet is MIA a lot, no liquor
