| - Andora was just ok for me which was disappointing given the price tag on our meal. I made reservations for Father's Day this past weekend for 5pm and when we showed up, the place was nearly empty. The interior is nice and classy and the patio is beautiful. Our server, Patrick, was really accommodating and nice and it made for a great experience. I ordered the crab cake dish, my dad had the seafood pasta, my mom had Andora chicken and my brother had the special which was a surf and turf with filet topped with sauce and crab, a crab cake and sides. We started with the rolled zucchini, shrimp bisque and fresh baked bread.
My brother ordered the filet medium rare. It came out completely well done - brown all the way through. While he is not one to complain or send food back, we did end up mentioning it to the server and he was quick to remedy the situation and have a new steak brought out for him. We were already there for an hour and 15 minutes at this point, and the new steak took another 20. This time, the steak came out bloody and raw in the middle. At a $56 price point (the price was not mentioned at the time of hearing the specials and we only saw it on our final bill), I would expect the chef be able to cook a proper piece of filet. Everyone had finished their meals, so my brother just boxed his food up to take home and said he would heat it the rest of the way through later.
Other than that, my side of veggies was unseasoned and the rice pilaf was just fine. My parents enjoyed their food and our apps were good. I probably wouldn't order the bisque again.
Overall, I think there are better places to have a dinner, but I wouldn't be opposed to come back and have drinks and apps on their pretty patio. Plus, it is close to home for me.
