The menu has a heavy tilt toward Italian cuisine and the entrees we ordered were well executed, with strong flavor profiles and served at a proper temperature, plated in an appetizing manner. The menu is simple enough and offers a Lunch Combo of Soup or Salad and 1/2 sandwich for $20. An up charge of $4 allows you to choose a smaller portion of one of their pasta dishes which was still an amazingly generous portion. One pic is the Baked Ziti Bolognese the other is the Fettuccine, both accompanied by the Beecher’s Flagship Cheese Tomato Soup. Our reason for choosing Andare was based on its proximity to The Paramount Theater and online reviews. Just about a 4 minute walk to the venue and the food was delicious. Only stumble was the service which was a bit slow and while the bar was jammed, the tables in the restaurant were less than half full. Service was still polite and efficient. They leave a bottle of water on the table so you can refill your own water, and they added an automatic 18% gratuity to the check for a party of 3, which was odd but fine. Even though the service was a bit slow, I probably would have still left 20% because the math is simple. I imagine if you were in the hotel for dinner you would be headed to Daniel’s Broiler. But if you want a tasty lunch at a reasonable price in a nice setting, this is a solid choice.

My group wanted to go out to eat for break fast after Yom Kippur and Andare Kitchen Bar flawlessly handled an unexpected group of 7 exhausted, starving adults and two (sleeping) children and served us incredible food. I spent $50 and while the food was amazing, the service was absolutely above and beyond and what I felt was really worth the cost. I don’t remember our waitress’s name, sadly, because I’m terrible at names and it had been a very long day but she was incredible and kept all our glasses filled and made sure we were perfectly attended to even while juggling several other tables and she had an incredible and fun attitude about it to boot. She really made the experience and atmosphere incredible and she’s going to be a huge part of why it’ll be such a fond memory for me.

It took forever to get food. The server tried her hardest and came by to reassure us often, but evidently the linguini was the slow part. I could have made it in 1/3 the time. I wouldn 't go back.

Unfortunately, I was not a huge fan of the food. It was not as enjoyable as I would have hoped for and due to this it became very pricey for the quality.
