I have been to andiron at least 10 times.
It has been my favorite neighborhood restaurant, dethroning vintner grill and my favorite steak place.
This was the second Friday night jazz visit. I enjoy the live music and the music genre fits the ambience. Our server was excellent. On at least one occasion in which I brought my 7 year old I was treated less than excellent. Other than that once they have been very accommodating when we have children with us.
It's negroni month so of course my wife ordered one. I had a midnight rambler #2. It was strong and lasted almost the whole meal.
We started with the matzoh balls. The horseradish makes them so good. I love the burn.
We ordered the tuna off the new sashimi menu. The tuna was plentiful and fresh. I thought the accoutrements were a bit skinny. I think there are other apps that are superior. It was a toss up between that and the oysters which we had the night before at another restaurant and have had at andiron to great effect. They offer such excellent sides to the oysters.
Pea soup was hot and thick. The cream additive is the hero.
