    Overall We had a great time (Rum Cocktail) very nice. The Original Hummus was cool, we’ll have to try some different next time! Dinner was Lamb Shank comes with rice which serves two people. Lamb was very dry and not good, we decided to order Lamb kebab which was very tasty definitely brought our spirits up!! Thank you for the amazing service

    The appetizer sampler plate was so filling that we almost didn't order anything else--but we managed a couple more things. Food was great, and the service was non intrusive--like dining in Europe, the servers gave us space and time to enjoy our meal.

    Have been going to Andie’s for almost 30 years (since pre-remodel & expand). Always love the food. Service depends on the visit, but this visit was one of the best ever. Keep up the good quality & standards like this and I’ll be back for another 30, God willing.
