| - The restaurant is beautiful and birthday celebrations were going off all around us. Most groups were being delivered this torched marshmallow cone cake with candles, which looked impressive and fun. Only three of us ate, however, so we didn't opt for such a large - albeit tempting - dessert. Our birthday girl had to make due with a chocolate globe filled with cake and ice cream. I just saw a video of this online, so when I saw Andrea's had one on the menu, I knew we had to get it. The server poured hot chocolate over it, and the globe melted away to reveal the goodies inside. Entertainment + food!
The three of us decided to go family style and ordered the filet with a wasabi demi glace, the black cod, the sea bass, the brussel sprouts, and the green beans with little shrimp. Oh, we also split a $100 bottle of wine. I didn't choose it, so I can't reveal the name, but it was lovely.
Everything was wonderful and different. The steak was tender and well-seasoned, the cod was sweet, and the sea bass was herby and refreshing. The green beans were a nice base to the meal, and the crispy sprouts were oily and salty - a great contrast to everything else.
Upon leaving we used the restroom, and the only available stall was broken. Pardon the visual, but my friend and I both peed into a toilet that didn't flush, so we were just adding our touches to what everyone else left behind. Yum!
The restaurant is also right next door to Surrender, so it's super convenient if that's your next destination. We went over to XS, but it wasn't that far of a walk.
