I had somewhat high expectations given the what i'd read here and the buzz, but Andalu fell short. Maybe it was an off-night. It was a low-key birthday dinner mid-week for us and the place was not busy -- but the service ranged from indifferent to condescending, which is unacceptable in any realm, but particularly in what is supposed to be a fun, hip, tapas place. An attitude adjustment is needed from the the front door to the back bar.
The food was mainly just ok - lots of interesting sounding things that didn't dazzle upon arrival. A couple of good plates. The wine list was the one saving grace...so we enjoyed that and made the most of the evening.
We'll probably give it another shot. I want to like the place but it may drive us all the way across the bay back to Cesar for our tapas.
Pros: wine list, fun location, interesting menu item
Cons: service, service...., service, overall value
