| - Ate here on a Thursday night last week. My friends & I were at the Wynn pool and were approached by a promoter (very friendly young woman - I think her name was Erica) who was recruiting guests for a special promotion for the restaurant and the nightclub next to Andrea's (Surrender). It involved Andrea's 7-7-7 deal (special menu of a cocktail, appetizer, and entree, all for $7 each) as well as a free drink ticket for a glass of champagne and a pass to Surrender that included an open bar (vodka & tequila). We skipped the Surrender part of the deal because as it was our last night in Vegas & none of us wanted to be hungover the next day (I have officially entered the 1-2 day long hangover age - I can't recover from hangovers as quickly as I used to! Gah!).
We thought the 7-7-7 deal was too good to be true, especially for a swanky place like Andrea's. And we figured out the catch:
(1) We arrived at our appointed time, but were met with some confusion over where to place us or where we could wait (2-3 different people told us different things). But that's ok, it got cleared up within 10 minutes. Totally forgiveable.
(2) The appetizer and entree portions were not too big. The menu also included an optional list of entrees that can be added on for an incremental cost. A-HA!! We knew it was too good to be true! But seriously, overall it was not a huge problem at all, it was still a decent deal in general, so we bit - and did enjoy most of the food we got.
Going back to the portion size not being too big: I expected that since this is a very trendy & upscale restaurant at the Encore. Also, since I was wearing a tight dress, maybe it was better that we ate small - any more and I would've had to stop breathing!
I had:
- Espresso Martini (it was good but a little too much espresso-taste)
- Shrimp & Pork Shumai (these were not very good actually - kind of fatty and squishy)
- Spicy Tuna Roll (pretty good)
- 1 of my friends & I shared the Wok-Fried Chicken (YUM!!) and the Lobster Fried Rice (Also YUM!!)
Ambience was swanky and chic, lighting was on the dark/dim side. Noise level was average for a Vegas restaurant: Not too loud, but not super quiet either. We shouted over each other once or twice, but not the whole night.
Our server and the hostesses were very nice and friendly, very accommodating. Our server was also very helpful and always around when we needed her, and she also popped by to check on us periodically without overdoing it. I hope she liked her tip because we left her a decent one!
Very nice place, I would like to check out the full menu next time as most of the food was delicious.
