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.

My husband and I went here for lunch, and were seated immediately. Then we waited for 20 minutes before they brought water to us, and after another 10 minutes we had to go find someone to ask for a menu. 20 minutes after that, we caught someone's eye and were able to place our order. Eventually we had to ask for our food to go since my husband's lunch hour was up. I wouldn't have minded so much if they had been really busy, or if the server had at least apologized or seemed to care about how awful our visit was, but she seemed totally oblivious to everything. I can't even remember how the food was. Probably eating it out of a paper box made a difference in my perception of it, but it seemed unremarkable. I'd try it once more just because I hate to pass judgment based on one visit, but they're on thin ice, in my book! I'll post an update if I visit again.
Pros: nice menu variety
Cons: slow service, impersonal staff

My friend took me here for my birthday dinner! It was possible the worst food i have ever put in my mouth!I am not fussy when it comes to food but the oysters on half shell were served warm the pork chop was served with raw carrots and the paella had been sitting under a heat lamp and turned crusty i called the manager but he basically blew me off Please dont waste your good money in this restaurant there are far better restaurants in Seattle
