Andrea's Report

The wife and I were on the way to the Westbank for some errands, and wanted an nice lunch so being as they were right off the causeway and we hadn't been in a while we choose Andrea's.

Both of us settled on the 3-course lunch deal they do ($20).

The corn and crab bisque was good, easily the best of the three courses. Entree was beef filet tips served with fettuccine. It was in served in a brown gravy, almost stroganoff like. It was just OK. The dessert was bread pudding. Not very good.

The service was poor, and very slow. The three course meal was named the "Express Lunch" yet it took us one and a half hours from start to finish. There wasn't a single waiter working less than 65 years of age, and ours was a grumpy old man. He spent most of time talking to another old man (a customer) about horse racing. The table next to us had to ask for a side of pasta that they ordered 3 times over 15 minutes.

I won't being going back for quite some time.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll be living with a buddy in Metairie during Dom's hospitalization.... I was going to have him take me there one night for dinner. Guess I'll pass. ;)

I've done the very same thing....we are in the neighborhood so "let's try Andrea's one more time". Yikes! What a disappointment.

It's ashame that he is still having these ups and downs. My last meal there about a month ago turned out to be really good, which suprised me considering how my two previous visits were.

Was Andrea there?
I doubt it....I don't think he would allow disappointments like that if he was.

I am guessing this is a play on Tom somehow? :D

He was. He came out in the dining room and addressed one table, then left. The whole experience was a disappointment.

I am surprised that anyone is served good food there. I have never had anything good served to me when I have had to dine there.

Andrea's has had its day and it has passed. Go to Vincent's or Impastato's instead.

I recently went to Vincent's in Metairie and had a double cut pork chop stuffed with smoked gouda that was outstanding.
