We had almost forgotten about Andina, busily checking out every new restaurant that comes down the pike, and we're so glad we rediscovered it! We went without a reservation on a Saturday night - what were we thinking? But the wait wasn't unbearably long, and we were checked on a couple of times, which was nice. Despite the business, we received stellar service. The sommalier was knowledgeable and our waiter attentive without being overbearing in any way. It is so nice and so rare these days to visit a restaurant run by professionals! \r

And then there was the food. It was eclectic, original, delicious. Their vast selection never disappoints. The artistry involved in creating and executing this menu is apparent in every morsel. We fought over our appetizer of roasted pimento peppers stuffed with quinoa, cheese, and serrano ham, then each horded our intensely flavorful entrees - Lomo Saltado and Pollito Al Pisco con Toques Chorrillanos. Divine. \r

We laughed that we had been unsure of where to have our wedding rehearsal dinner - we have now officially booked Andina, knowing that everyone will LOVE the food and the gorgeous, newly renovated space upstairs (formerly Apotheke). This place is awesome!
Pros: Food, atmosphere, attentive service
