    My second time here, made to feel even more special than the first. The wait staff was, knowledgeable, prompt, attentive, professional and friendly. When asked for a suggestion, the selections were spot on. When asked for a personal opinion, they made answered insightfully with the customer in mind. And I can not speak enough of the GM Anna, who delightfully visited our table multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. The vibrant flavors compliment the subtly jubilant atmosphere and its five star staff. Good music, not so loud to drown out a conversation, yet not so quiet to uncomfortably hear the next table over. The lighting is easy on the eyes, but not too dark. And the creative cocktails are made with precision and care. Everything about this place exemplifies the joys of dining out. It is now my go-to restaurant to bring friends, dates, business dinners, etc. I cant wait to return.

    Had an excellent experience at Andy’s. The food was amazing; we ordered the Cajun shrimp risotto and the Caribbean grilled salmon. The salmon was juicy and delightful. The shrimp risotto was phenomenal as well. Loved the espresso martini! The music was great too and the entire vibe / experience.

    It was very pleasant New Year Day Brunch. We had an excellent experience. The only one thing I would like to comment on is that even though the 20% tip was already added to the bill , on the credit card receipt, it was asking again for a tip ! We thought it was kinda tacky....
