The first time I went the service was great, our server was very attentive but not overly in our faces. I got the 25 for 25. Drinks and food arrived quickly. I loved that the bread came with tahini, a very nice touch. THe tomato soup was only ok, we had a sald that had a cheese that I forget, beets, almonds, and red onions and it was delicious. For my entree I had the risotto which was pretty small but the flavor was really good, full of cherries, arugala, mushrooms, and goat cheese. THe caramel pound cake was delicious. I love the atmosphere and theme of the restaurant. The second time I went back the meal was to die for. Service again was excellent and I can’t wait until the next time I eat there again.

Terrific menu choices and no skimping on portion size (waiter said that only portion size they cut even a little is the # of mussels). Excellent lamp chops, good wine selection.

Andaluca is located in the Mayflower Hotel downtown. It is easy to miss as you drive buy on the busy Olive street. I was surprised by how small the place was – but this was definetely a plus. The place had a very intimate feel and it was perfect for chatting and relaxing while you enjoy a wonderful dinner.

I came here for the 25 for $25 with some friends. We really enjoyed the experience. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the service was top notch, and the food was excellent. For the 25 for $25, it is a must try. Paying full price – that would be up to the individual to determine but I feel like I got my money’s worth.

The Spanish wine we had was really great – and they have an extensive wine menu.

Complimentary valet parking was huge. Bravo :-)

the paella here is really worth a trip all by itself :) one of the people in our group was born-and-raised in spain and he gave it a thumbs up too!

surprising the selection of tapas items wasn’t very varied, and the ones that we shared weren’t anything special. however, the entrees (“large plates”) were solid, and the unlimited free potato bread with house-made hummus was yummy too!

Went for Dine Around Seattle on a Wednesday night. Service was friendly, quick and efficient, but the food just didn’t taste that great. For appetizers we had the mushrooms and tomato soup. Their offer for the main course was to pick 3 out of 7 small plates, “pintxos”. Between the two of us, wife and I picked the chicken skewer, paella, crab tower, beef skewer, pumpkin risotto, and potato croquette. I only really liked the chicken skewer, though I thought the beef was above average (wife didn’t care for it) and she liked the pumpkin risotto (my pref would be less sweet). Had a half bottle of wine for $15, which was a nice deal to go along with the meal and another highlight of the meal. For dessert we had the liquid chocolate cake, and the marscapone panna cotta with figs. Both were good and we split on which we liked better.
