This was one of the first French restaurants that got to go to and have been back multiple times since. It does hold a special place in our hearts.
This was the first place wife ever got foie and boy has she been hooked since! They have had a really nice seared foie gras that is was paired apple one time and pear the other. Since that first experience at Andre's anytime there is seared foie on the menu it is the likely choice.
With our most recent they had revised the menu slightly. They had added a pasta/risotto section of which at that time they had crab ravioli. It was disappointing as bit into a piece of shell.
The French onion soup is always delicious, and comes out piping hot every time.
For entrees I always get the lobster thermidor. It comes plated inside the tail shell covered in a rich cream sauce. There are some veggies included and the portion is huge so there is no need to order sides if you get this. Wife has mixed it up with some inconsistent results. Last time she got the salmon and requested it cooked medium rare. Definitely missed the temp this time.
portions on the apps and entrees are quite large for a fine dining restaurant. Often this leaves us with minimal room for dessert. We usually end up splitting one if we get anything. We have done the gelato sampler or a souffle when we have gotten desserts. They have been very good and would recommend!
Overall had to knock a couple stars off for some inconsistencies, especially the last time there. When we stick to our favorites though this place tends to shine and we leave satisfied.
