The Reserve at Andaluca - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant for a special anniversary dinner was truly outstanding, exceeding all expectations. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the food was simply exquisite. My favorite dish was the seafood pasta. I highly recommend this place for a romantic night out.

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. They offer small dishes that allow you to try a variety of flavors, which were as pleasant to the palate as they were to the nose. Everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a perfect 5. We had no wait time and dined as a party of two for dinner.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The portions were unexpectedly small, yet the prices were not. At the end of the dinner, when I went to pay with my credit card, the waitress took it to the payment terminal. I later discovered through my banking app that the amount charged was 20% higher than our actual bill. When questioned, the waitress stated the restaurant automatically adds a service charge. However, the menu clearly indicated this only applies to groups of six or more, and there were only two of us. While the manager eventually resolved the situation and refunded the extra amount, the attempt to deceive us left a very bad impression.

My experience at this restaurant was so enjoyable that we returned for a second visit on the same evening after attending a cocktail party. Our waitress, whose name I didn't catch, was great. She also expertly handled the bartending duties, crafting our delightful cocktails. The combination of live jazz and moody lighting perfectly created the ambience we were seeking. We will definitely be back.

I'd rather have missed this evening. We visited Andaluca on a Saturday, one of their jazz nights. It's one of the two restaurants attached to our hotel. First, the positives: The ambiance is truly beautiful – perhaps not the most beautiful ever, but absolutely appealing by US standards. The service was also great: attentive, quick, and always helpful – whether with cocktail choices, dessert, or just a small question. Unfortunately, the evening was completely overshadowed by the food. So disappointing that neither the service nor the ambiance could compensate. We ordered the Focaccia, the Curry Chicken, and the Chanterelle Lasagna with Morels and Truffles. Everything arrived lukewarm – the cheese hard, cold on the outside, warm on the inside – it seemed as if it had been briefly reheated in the microwave. The lasagna tasted as if the chef had been in a bad mood – or, to put it figuratively: a sour mother-in-law. Far too much lemon, which not only masked the palate with its acidity but even caused the sauce to curdle. There was no trace of truffle, not even in its cheapest oil variant. A shame – especially with the delicate aroma of morels, it would have been hard to go wrong. The Curry Chicken was also unfortunately disappointing. I even uttered the sentence: 'The Tikka Masala on British Airways in economy class is better. ' Bitter, but true. It's sad that the food let down the otherwise truly excellent service and pleasant ambiance so badly. The Rioja for $19 a glass was mediocre at best. Conclusion: We will not return – and I would advise everyone against eating there. However, you can certainly always stop by for drinks! Next time, we'll go back to Oliver's next door. Everything there is a bit simpler – and simply better.

My experience at this downtown Seattle spot for breakfast was largely positive, especially concerning the food. I had the seasonal omelette, which was incredibly fresh and delicious – truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The Ohana waffle was also excellent, boasting a perfect texture and just the right amount of sweetness. While the food was a definite highlight, the service could be improved. Despite this, it's a great restaurant and definitely worth a visit.

Google indicated that the restaurant was open. However, upon arriving on Saturday at 11 AM, we found it to be closed.

We had breakfast here and loved everything about it! The food was amazing, and the service was excellent! We loved the atmosphere and the decor, and the people were so very nice! It was conveniently located adjacent to our hotel, the Mayflower Park.

We made a reservation at Andaluca to celebrate our anniversary, having looked forward to it for weeks. We reviewed the menu ahead of time and were excited for the food. However, when we arrived, we were greeted by a sign on the door directing us to Oliver’s, also located in the Mayflower Hotel, for the Andaluca menu. When we got to Oliver’s and let the host know our reservation was for Andaluca, we were told to seat ourselves and were handed Oliver’s menu. A member of the waitstaff told us it was “basically the same menu” — it was not. We decided to go somewhere else and left feeling incredibly disappointed and frustrated. There was no notice online about Andaluca being closed or relocated, and what we ended up with was nothing close to what we had planned for.

I visited this restaurant specifically for the Paella. Unfortunately, the pictures online are outdated, and the dish now only comes with shrimp, lacking the variety of seafood I expected. This was a significant letdown for my dining experience.
