| - I really enjoy this place. It's in a convenient location for us and it's upscale, but comfortable. The decor is traditional, classy, and it's a generally quiet restaurant. You can go dressed up and it would be nice for a date, but it's also good for a delicious family meal. The bar/lounge looks really cool, but I've not seen it busy. My mom lives very close to Andora so we tend to visit on off-nights, I think.
The crab cakes were mentioned to be a house specialty, so I tried their surf and turf (crab cake and filet mignon) on my most recent visit. I had the filet rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The crab cake is very meaty with just enough filling to hold it together.
The menu changes with seasons (they were offering a pumpkin filled pasta dish recently) and everything is fresh and presented nicely. If you want a salad, this is more of a $$$ Yelp dinner, but well worth it!
They have a lot of interesting wines that you don't see on every menu and there are options priced for everyone. The waitress was cool and let us try some things before ordering a glass. The glass pours are generous. Her recommendations were spot on.
Andora is located in the old Colony Restaurant location that has changed several times since the long-standing Colony closed. I hope Andora stays because the staff is friendly. There is complimentary valet parking, so don't be afraid about their narrow parking lot.
My mom also said they get a big lunch crowd, but I've not seen that. I would be interested to try it for lunch sometime!
