Haven’t been here in years but oh man……one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.OctopusLamb chop and Greek salad with gyro meat. Shout out to this amazing bartender for treating us well. Recommend you go ASAP.

Food is good and portions healthy. Had the mezzo platter, roasted 1/2 chicken and lamb shank and chicken soup.Food came out quick. Service is good even though they were very busy, so points for that. The mezzo platter is good to share, the chicken soup is good and lemony, the lamb shank was the winner fork tender and nicely seasoned and mash potatoes were super buttery and had lots pf butter LOL. The roasted chicken was good little dry on the breast which is expected but good portion. Decent place for quick bite…!!!

Stopped here for lunch both on a recent Friday and Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed the Whole Aegean Bronzini (Sea Bass) so much, I had it both days. Once with the beets it traditionally comes with and the other with steammed squash and zucchini. Both delicious! I also had ordered the Greek salad and the other day the grilled octopus (marinated grilled octopus, lemon oregano, pure olive oil). One sitting, also tried the Keftedes Hellenic Meatballs (Seasoned minced beef, fresh herbs,tzatziki). They were just ok, a bit dry. Will be back again soon!

Great service, nice place and really good food. I highly recommand this place to discover greek kitchen. The choice is big enough to have a whole idea of the food in Greece. Thayer street is as well a nice place to walk down. Much more animated than downtown.

This was my first time getting take-out from Andrea's. I We ordered two orders of the braised lamb shank. My wife and I both LOVED our dinner! Absolutely fantastic! When I arrived I noticed that they had outdoor seating, so next time we'll plan on eating there instead of taking-out. The staff were very friendly and the food was ready and hot when I arrived. Highly recommend!

We loved our dinner at Andrea's for my wife's birthday recently.Sean was our server, and was outstanding!, friendly, funny, and fast!The food was as advertised!, delicious....Lamb, calamari, everything....just perfect! I even left my credit card behind, and they found a way to return it to me! Thank you, we will be back!

We went for our first time to Andrea's the other night. Susie was our waitress, she was excellent! We ordered the Hot Mezze Platter pictured below. It was wonderful to try the variety of Mediterranean treats, dolmas, gyros, feta, olives, lamb, chicken, Greek sausage, hummus, pita bread, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, and more!! Every bite was better than the last. It was a delicious assortment of appetizers to start the night.I knew that would be filling enough, but I needed to try more. I ordered a bowl of the Avgolemono soup, which Susie and another server were kind enough to humour us with the pronunciation a dozen times. I thought it was rich and savory, personally a bit on the salty side, but I brought it home, put it over rice and finished every last drop.My date ordered the Oven Roasted Lemon Chicken, which came out as half the bird! My date nearly picked it clean. It was juicy, tender, flavorful and the potatoes were the perfect compliment.10/10 recommend this restaurant, I know there are many more items on the menu I would like to come back to try. ?

There are many good as well as 'not-so-good' reasons to have a meal at this restaurant. The service was very good, but the food needs to be addressed in several ways. We started with the 'Saganaki Flambe' which was really good and well flavored. My dinner was 'Swordfish Steak' which had its ups and downs. The sides were very nice but the swordfish itself, although cooked very nicely, could have used much more seasoning. My husband had the 'Mediterranean Chicken Linguini' which needed a whole lot of everything. Although the presentation was good, everything on the plate was bland and it seemed that everything tasted better when you ate them separately. On top of that, they FAILED to drain the pasta as the plate was swimming in the water from the cooking of the noodles. The dessert was no better in that again, the presentation was nice, but in this case, that piece of chocolate cake on the 'Chocolate Lava Cake' was TINY. Two bites of the 'cake' and its gone! Sure, you have other accompaniments on the plate, but those are irrelevant once you eat your two bites. In essence, they are trying TOO HARD to maximize their profits by just making everything look nice, but not really delivering on taste and portion sizes.

This was the only place where my mom wanted to go for her birthday. Absolutely wonderful experience as always! Service and food were fantastic! They even brought dessert and sang happy birthday!Be back again soon!

Wonderful experience with fantastic service. Food was amazing and was very timely. Highly recommend.
