From the Restaurant

Andaluca located in downtown Seattle, is a nationally recognized culinary oasis. Resonating with the romance of the Mediterranean, its food and design have been a winning combination since 1996.
Throughout the handsome space, mahogany millwork, hand painted murals and plush, deep-toned fabrics work together to conjure up a sun-baked Mediterranean grotto.
Begin your meal at Andaluca with a selection from an array of tapas-inspired Sharable Plates and Pintxos. Andaluca has recently instituted a Pintxos Happy Hour weekdays from 5:00pm to 6:30pm and late night from 9:00pm to close. A variety of Pintxos are available along with a variety wines and Sangria. The Pintxos are half-priced during these hours.
One of the hottest restaurants in downtown Seattle Andaluca features fresh seasonal Northwest foods influenced by the flavors of the Mediterranean. Chef Wayne Johnson combines strong and aromatic tastes that complement, rather than overpower.

Top notch experience

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.

intimate and romantic

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 :-)

What I ate:
  • *****

    Delicious – served with basmati rice. This is actually quite a bit of food!

  • *****

    Perfect starter salad with goat cheese, hazelnuts, and balsamic vinegrette.

  • *****

    A creamy scoop of gelato with espresso over the top. Very good!

Great 25 for $25 choice

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.

great paella!

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!

What I ate:
  • *****

    this is really good! chock full of seafood (mussels, clams and this really ginormous prawn. along with some regular sized prawns too :)), chicken, sausage, veggies… all cooked with rice and saffron broth. very good! esp. during the cold months :)
