I was in the north side trying to find a spot to eat on a Sunday night which is a lot harder than I thought. Monterrey Pub and Legends were closed. Although I was in yoga pants and a hoodie we decided to go to Andrews.
It was 6pm but I was jonesin' for a bloody mary so I went for it! The bloody wasn't spicy but it still hit the spot. I might have had a couple more.
So I don't eat red meat or pork (yadda yadda bacon, yeah shut up) so I understand it's comical that I end up at a steakhouse. Normally steakhouses have a wide variety of seafood as well Andrews fell short here. Maybe 3 seafood dishes.
I had the spinach salad (hold the bacon dressing) which was good but too heavy on the balsamic dressing. The server then brought us 4 different kinds of bread with homemade butter. Delish.
I decided on the salmon which was cooked well. The vegetable/risotto mixture was blah. I didn't eat any of the concoction. My dad had the fillet with the trio of sides as well as a 1 lb mashed potato. He said everything is good (but he always says that). The server brought out a platter of topping for the potato which was a nice touch.
My dad got chocolate and pumpkin donuts with 3 different dipping sauces. I mean they were great but how can those be bad?
Pros: The server was very friendly and knowledge (although she made a joke about people ordering seafood in steakhouses, haha I can take it), tasty bloodys, warm variety of breads, decent steak (so says my dad), I didn't feel out of place in a hoodie but this is Pittsburgh (I'm not sure if that's a pro).
Cons: Limited menu especially with seafood (yeah I know its a steakhouse, shut up). Everything is a la carte which gets pricey and you end up with a pound of vegetables. I might sound like my grandma but it was really dark. I had a hard time figuring out what my vegetables were.
Overall: This did end up being a pricey meal but it didn't knock my socks off. The high points were the bloody, bread and dessert (story of my life). I think I might stop in for a cocktail if I'm at the casino but skip the food.
