Best in Town. We love Andaluca and go there every time we are in Seattle. Their Prix Fixe menu is divine (and a very good value), every bite is to be enjoyed and savored. I got the chicken skewers, potato croquettes and mushroom and goat cheese risotto. You also get a choice of dessert and I always order the liquid chocolate cake. My husband got the black pepper seared scallops and they were wonderful. The service is very good and parking is a breeze. (Just stop in front of the Mayflower Hotel and the valet takes care of it for you). Get the voucher validated by your server and it's free, a very good thing for downtown Seattle. The ambiance is lovely- hint sit at the round dining table by the window-very romantic. We made reservations and we were well taken care of. We highly recommend Andaluca's.…
Great hotel BUT... It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
Don't waste your time. This is the second time I have gone there and both times my friends and I have gotten horrible service! This trip started with us waiting for 5 minutes, standing at the door, before even being greeted. There was nobody else before us - just no employees near the door/podium. Once we were finally seated we ordered drinks. After there was a mix-up with my first drink order I ordered a mojito. The waiter rudely told me mint was out of season and he would have to see if they had any. REALLY?!?! Then he brings me my drink and tells me to try it. A mojito is a pretty standard drink, so I was surprised he told me to taste it. My friend ordered some pellegrino, was not asked which size bottle he wanted, got a small bottle, was charged for a large. Besides those issues, the bigger problem was that our waiter rarely checked on us and when he did he would strangely ask us a question and then quickly walk away. The food was okay, but not worth dealing with the attitude.…
Never a disappointment!. I'm always happy when I eat at Andaluca. Most recently, I went there for their "dine around Seattle" promotion (you basically get 4 of their "pinxtos" [small plates] + dessert for $30). Everything that I and my three dining companions had was exquisite. Specifically, I'd highly recommend the halibut skewer, the cabrales-crusted beef skewer, and the mushrooms ala greque. I'm not much of a dessert eater but the liquid chocolate cake was also delicious. Andaluca also has a superb wine list and mixes great cocktails. The service was the perfect blend of attentive and unobtrusive and the ambiance is elegant yet relaxed. All in all, a wonderful dining experience which I would highly recommend.…
Deliciously Elegant!. Having eaten at Andaluca a number of times now, I will never get tired of dining at this elegant restaurant. First, the food is creative both in substance and presentation. The small plates (Pintxos) are my favorites, especially the Crisp Duck Cake (the apricot chutney was a perfect complement), Seafood Risotto (perfect in creaminess and the variety of seafood), and Ratatouille Packet (roasted vegies and goat cheese wrapped in pastry). The cinnamon gelato served with the Melomakarona Fig Tart was an incredible dessert. The food is beautiful to look at, as well as to eat! The service is friendly and attentive. And the atmosphere- quietly lush with subdued lighting that creates an intimate atmosphere. It's not a large restaurant, yet the high upholstered seat backs create great private spaces. Definitely one of Seattle's jewel restaurants...…
