Food: Explosion of culinary delight
Delving into Andrei's menu is akin to embarking on an epicurean journey. The Mediterranean Platter hits the tongue with well-seasoned and flavorful bites. Then there’s the Braised Beef Short Ribs that fall off the bone in a dance of rich flavors. Add on the Crispy Arancini, which offers a crunch that gracefully yields to a velvety core of perfectly seasoned risotto and vegetables. While the size of the portions may spark a speck of disappointment, the creativity, freshness, and variety that pervade their dishes outshine such minor qualms.

Vibe: Hideaway of visual symphony
The restaurant dons an allure that is part comfortable, part aspirational. The ambiance, soaked in modern sophistication, invites one into its warm folds. Yet, the real show-stealer is the terrace patio, that transforms into an enticing canvas at sunset magic hour. Pair all this with fantastic cocktails and the setting ascends from inviting to irresistible. Andrei’s might not hit the ‘buzz’ button for everyone, but it’s an intimate, romantic hideaway that lulls one into tranquility.
Great for Dates
Intimate, romantic setting with candles and dim lighting ideal for dates.
Okay to Entertain
Live music decent, nice touch, but sometimes a bit too loud.
Perks: Blend of comfort, quirk
Juggling the pros and cons at Andrei’s feels like a dance: one that’s mostly graceful with a few awkward spins. Book a table easily, even at the last minute, and find yourself promptly seated. But do brace for the tug-of-war between valet ease and self-parking woes. The quiet, cozy ambiance is a boon, enhanced by outdoor seating equipped with heaters. However, the service redefines unpredictability, oscillating from attentive to 'where’s the waiter?'. Those with dietary preferences, fret not, for the menu accommodates vegan and gluten-free needs.
Great for Groups
Accommodates large groups well with customized menus and private space.
Okay for Diets
Solid options but some wish for more diverse vegetarian choices.
Bad for Kids
Placed next to kitchen, away from the main area with a child.
