Editorial Review for Andaluca – by Allison Austin
The Scene
Though often overlooked in its hidden nook, Andaluca proves worth a trip for its better Spanish dishes. Dark rosewood walls and dim lighting cater to the privacy of lovers and business lunchers alike.
The Food
Tapas comprise more than half the menu. Best are the succulent lamb dolmas, with tender, silky skins of grape leaves. The kitchen scores when staying true to Spanish flavors, as with the classic tortilla made with potato, thyme, romesco and a saffron aioli . The house paella is a very good version of the classic dish, but the best entree is the lamb chops,which are served aside a sundried tomato couscous and drizzled with a blackberry demi-glace. Traditional Spanish dessert flavors--almonds, figs, egg creams, sweet wine--are conspicuously missing among the dessert selections, so settle for the warm chocolate cake.

There are many reasons to visit this lovely spot. I have a few. I found this place by accident... one of the best accidents I have ever had. The wine selection is very good, and the Rioja wines are deliciouos. My wife and I like to eat tapas style... this means that ordering four or five orf their delicious appetizers, shared by two... is a very nice way to go. The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Somedays have been less crowded than others. I have dined here four separate times. All have been an enjoyable experience. If you want a romantic spot, with mood pleasing colors and rich wood trimp... try this intimate place. The valet parking is handy, and if you want to retire to a cozy, high ceiling bar, Oliver's is at the other end of the building (a walk through the inside, posh lobby). This is the kind of place that you may end up refering to as a special place to visit.

This is not a restaurant I would reccomend to anyone nor would I go back. The place is very small with about 20 tables, the decorations are a bit tacky, and the food has more oil than my car. The price of dinner wasn't too bad, the meals were fairly priced. I ordered the risotto, which pretty much was over cooked rice surrounded by a ring of cooking oil. The cherry streusal cake was more like a fancy granola bar. But I did enjoy the lemon gelato. I must say that was the best part of dinner!!! Don't go there unless you want to be disappointed!!!
