I went to Andrea's on Saturday night with a group of friends for my boyfriends birthday. We had made reservations a few weeks before and were really excited to try the new place and then go out to his birthday celebration afterwards. We had no idea we would be waiting over and hour just to be seated and ended up missing our original plans.
When we arrived for our 9:30 reservation at 9:10 we were told it would be a few minutes to get the table ready. At 9:40 my boyfriend checked back in and was once again told it would be a few more minutes to prepare the table. 30 minutes past our reservation time and almost 45 minutes of waiting I finally asked the hostess what was going on and explained this was a very special occasion and we made reservations for a reason. She told me that people were at our table and we would need to wait. Finally after an hour of waiting I told her we would be leaving if we were not seated immediately.
We finally got a table set up for us, in the bar area, not even in the actual dining area. Overall this was NOT a good experience. The food was very mediocre for the price and the service was close to the service you get at fast food but extremely slower. In the end we ended up missing the event we had planned for after dinner and my boyfriend spent his birthday night waiting an hour when we had a reservation. We essentially paid $300 to waste our night away and miss his birthday event afterwards.
My advice would be if you are going to accept reservations make sure you hold them, not make people wait an hour. They clearly have respect for their customers. After looking at other Yelp reviews this seems to be the norm for them. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you want to waste an hour of your life.
