| - I guess it's because we've been to the old Andre's in downtown (which has been closed down now), we can only give this one 2 stars, course it is not as good as what we had at the downtown one in the past. The food didn't taste bad, just not meeting up to what the downtown one could offer. I don't know why. I suppose it's the same owner same chef, why the difference??
My husband got a Rib Eye steak, I got the dover sole. My husband said the Rib Eye steak was bad but not a wow. My dover sole was okay too but the sauce was too sour that I couldn't really taste the fish. The sourness of the sauce overpowered the taste of the beautiful dover sole. It was a little bit disappointing.
At the end, my husband got a carrot cake souffle and I got the raspberry white chocolate souffle. But they pour the mixed up the sauce, and poured the white chocolate sauce on the carrot cake souffle, and the cream cheese anglaise on the raspberry white chocolate souffle (the right order should be white chocolate sauce on the raspberry white chocolate souffle, and cream cheese anglaise on carrot cake souffle). So they had to remake the other 2 for us. (The taste was really funky when the wrong sauce got on the wrong souffle).
At the end they charged us $1 caring donation, probably because of the remaking of the souffles. I was just stupid enough not to ask them at the spot. I should have asked if the $1 is due to the fact that they had to remake the souffles. I guess I was too tired that night so my brain didn't function properly. Now I think about it and even wonder why I didn't tell them that the sauce of the dover sole was too sour????? Why didn't I say something right away? Now I can only learn the lesson not to do fine dining on a tiring night. But who knows what other caring donation they would have charged if they were going to remake my dover sole! I just don't understand why they didn't state everything up front.....it seems so wrong to me. I was never asked to pay for someone's mistake in my past dining experience.
We are not going back at all, they don't seem to be doing the business in the right way. What a disappointment. Even bigger disappointment when we had the old Andre's to compare it with. Sigh.....
