Great food and atmosphere. The back deck/porch are great during warm months. The food and service is top notch and reliable. I love the Andora chicken. read more

We like this place, but it's been kinda "hit and miss" for us. A little pricey, but not too bad as long as the food comes out the way it should. The dining room is unappealing, but the bar is nice (aside from the fact every time the bathroom door opens you get smacked in the face with stale urine). On a lighter note I highly recommend the outdoor area. Very nice fountain and garden. read more

Off the beaten path, on Mt. Nebo road, you will find Andora's. A friend at work told me about this place and I had to try it. She said it's one of her favorite restaurants. "Best crab cakes in Pittsburgh," she said. We'll just have to see about that, I thought. Don't be fooled by the exterior, inside the dining room, while formal, it's warm and cozy. Windows are covered with formal flowered valances and blinds, tables are covered with white linens and cream colored napkins, complete with fresh flowers. We were seated near a fireplace. The tables are all a different angles, so it still feels intimate. Wood wainscoting covered the walls and also the angled ceiling in our dining area. They have a nice wine list, but we opted for our favorites drinks. Bread was crusty and fresh from the oven and served with perfectly seasoned oil dipping sauce that included sun dried tomatoes. Me and my friend Robert decided to share a Cesar salad. The salad was very good. Served with a fried crisp of asiago cheese and a hard slice of toasted bread for the crouton, the salad included marinated tomatoes. Delicious! Since I heard so much about the crab cakes, I opted for the Turf and Surf, which was an 8 oz. filet mignon served with a crab cake. Both were delicious, the crab cake had no filler and was served with red onion caper sauce. The steak was very thick and perfectly cooked. Sides were green beans/baby carrots and mashed potatoes served with bacon and cheese. The potatoes, while very yummy, were not much to look at. The veggies were very yummy. Robert had the salmon teriyaki. He's very nice, he shares, it was very good! Perfectly cooked. For dessert, we shared a huge thick slice of cheese cake drizzled with a raspberry puree. It was very creamy and smooth and served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Service was warm and friendly. Not crowded, but busy, we went on a weekday night. Very nice meal. Other items on the menu included scallops, pasta dishes, pork. Looking forward to summer, the patio looks very nice. Don't forget, they serve lunch. Parties of 6 or more require reservations. read more

Having heard lots of good things and seeing quite a few 4.0+ ratings I figured this would be worth a shot. 1,000's of people can't be wrong, right? The place was clean and service was great, we had reservations and were seated almost instantly. The food was a different story. Very timely but overall just not that good. Brussel sprout salad read to be very good but was just steamed with some bacon and a splash of oil. I found it rather disappointing that bacon didn't help make a difference here at all. Very bland and the addition of pecans seemed out of place with what was served. I got a steak and portobello ravioli meal that was good but I expected a little more food. They were great but 5 small ravioli just seemed a few too short. My wife got a chicken dish with numerous small pieces that were dry and chewy. She elected to get he sauce without tomatoes so perhaps they add a significant amount of taste but otherwise it was quite bland as well. We chose to pursue desert elsewhere. read more

I took my husband to Andora for a belated birthday lunch today. They don't open till 11:30 am but I called around 11:15 am and Susie took my reservation. Shelley greeted us at the desk and was very personable and checked in with us a couple of times during our lunch. We had a wonderful server whose name is Kara, we have had her almost every time we have gone to Andora, what a sweetheart and a blessing and she is excellent! The food was amazing and delicious! Thank you Andora, Shelley and Kara! Merry Christmas! Shelley seated us in the corner by the fireplace. read more

Andora plays to the middle market quite well. For those who don't want to get all dressed up and head to a fancy restaurant but also want to avoid the Eat'n'Park type places this is the place for you. Having been a loyal customer for years it is clear to see why Andora has a cult following of loyal customers. The menus change seasonally, but aside from the nightly special there tends not to be too much variety. The food that they do have is prepared well 90% of the time. (There are nights when you can tell the chef is a little off but those are far and few between). The ambience is "dressy casual", but you can literally see people in jeans and tshirts seated next to those in dressier attire. It is a nice family restaurant (provided your kids are at least somewhat behaved), but it is also a nice date place as well. If you call ahead they are excellent with larger parties. In the winter they have the fire place going, in the summer the patio is gorgeous. It is a very good year-round place to eat, and I would highly recommend it. read more

We decided to stop in because one of our diners had a gift card... So we headed north on 79 after an evening at the Point (to see the giant duck). The lot was full, and we almost headed back toward Ohio River Ave, but got out to check. Nice place, but located between a gas station and housing complex. When I entered, I was weary to see the table-tops -- immaculate with fine settings - but I was in khaki shorts. As I turned to leave, the incoming group had small children, and looked as if they were dressed for a little-league game. Mesh shorts and all. So we stayed. Glad we did. "Casual Fine Dining" is an understatement. Professional staff and fine food served among casually hip (or not-so-hip) soccer moms on the way home from practice. Decent wine list, and small menu. The calimari was some of the best around, get it! Great with the (bottled) sweet-chili sauce. The stuffed zucchini ribbons were tasty, if soggy. The veal marsala had a great sauce, and the stuffed double pork chop was cooked perfectly, bones frenched, and lightly stuffed with a mix of green apples, sausage, banana peppers and sage. Amazing. Unfortunately, the mashed reds were cold and congealed. The pasta dishes were bland and boring. Olive Garden serves better. Choose wisely, and you won't be disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I dined here with my parents on this beautiful Sunday evening around 5:30pm. We had reservations for the patio, which were absolutely not needed since we were the only table sitting outside. Once my boyfriend and mom kept being eaten alive by flies- or some other insect- we understood why no one else was seated on the patio. First off- the atmosphere....the beautiful gardens in the back with the fountain surrounded by flowers is just gorgeous! Such a serene and peaceful area. We were all quickly brought glasses of water and greeted by Kristy, who provided friendly and efficient service throughout our dining experience. We began with a bottle of Malbec- an excellent bargain at $30! We were brought bread and seasoned oil- which was delicious- while we perused the menu. Since I had heard they are well known for the crab cakes I went with that entree, which came with rice pilaf and mixed veggies, however I substituted asparagus instead. The good: the crab cakes were mostly meat with hardly any filler and were quite large. Also the onion caper sauce provided a sweet and tart compliment to the meaty cakes. The bad: the sides- the rice was flavorless and the asparagus flavorless and well undercooked. My dad and boyfriend both had the salmon, served with a teriyaki glaze, rice pilaf and asparagus. The consensus was the same on the rice and asparagus: flavorless, very bland. My dad enjoyed his salmon while my boyfriend also did, with the slight complaint it was undercooked. I did see part of his salmon and must agree with him- more on the medium rare than medium side. My mom ordered the walleye with a citrus sauce and same accompaniments. She enjoyed her walleye and was in agreement with the rest of us on the sides. We ordered dessert- two orders of the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, caramel, chocolate, and nuts. This was the highlight of the meal for all of us but it's very hard for a dessert like that to not be absolutely yummy! Overall, I enjoyed the main part of my meal- the crab cakes- so I'd be eager to return and try some of the other dishes that received rave reviews! read more

See all

Andora...I just can't say enough good things about your food. I'm not sure I've ever disliked something I've ordered. The food is always cooked perfectly and seasoned appropriately. They have a pretty big bar and a great outdoor patio. They'll even provide lap blankets for a cooler evening (plus there are heat lamps). Order anything from the menu, you won't be disappointed. I love the crab cakes, the salmon (although I think they changed menu recently and there is a different sauce on it from the last time so I can't make any guarantees on that) and the seared scallops in a soy sesame glaze. The risotto that came with the scallops was creamy and cooked perfectly. Also, the zucchini ribbon appetizers stuffed with cheese in a roasted red pepper sauce...I could eat them for a meal. All of the salads are tasty too although I'd recommend splitting one if you're ordering appetizers and dinner. The downside of Andora's is that it's a little pricey and it's tough to escape from there with under a $30 per person tab for just dinner (no drinks, salads, appetizers or dessert). You're paying for the quality of the food so it's worth it but it's not a once a week dining experience. The other downside is I think the indoor dining area is a little dated. It's not terrible but it's a little stuffy and old-fashioned. Also, they don't take reservations except for larger parties so you're in for a long wait during peak weekend dining hours. read more

Sometimes you just need to indulge!!! This is my favorite spot to eat, if only I could afford to eat here everyday!!! The food is absolutely delicious. I always order the shrimp bisque, which has never been anything but spectacular!!! They are known for their crab cakes as well. If you ask they can offer you a smaller filet with a crab cake, which is my favorite meal to get! The filet is always prepared to perfection! They have outside seating in the summer. I would suggest making sure you get a table with an umbrella. I sat at a table with no umbrella once and received some unexpected surprises from above in my water. The patio is gorgeous for any type of event or dinner. This place doesn't offer your run of the meal dinner. They provide you with great service that is friendly and properly timed out. I prefer to have an eating marathon not a sprint! They provide this type of service. As many times as I have been here I Have never complained about the food at all. I will say that it seems as though the pasta dishes don't seem to be as appealing as the other dishes. Love this place and would suggest to anyone looking for a great night out to try it out. read more

New menu. The new menu is tasteless and not up to the caliber of the old one. The new Tuna is a disaster. The sauce is sweet and boring. Also where did the scallops go? We used to go there a couple times a week, now not so sure. read more

We're always happy with their food and service! We've had almost all of their seafood entrees and haven't been disappointed. And the desserts are worth the calories. It's a nice, casual and friendly place to have a great meal. read more

On a Saturday night we had reservations and sat right away, four adults in our party. We all had salads, 2 house and 2 iceberg wedges. Nice portions, but not anything extremely fancy. All tasty! For dinner we had ahi tuna, Andora chicken (2) and a scallop dish. My chicken was wonderful! It came with asparagus, and risotto, and topped with a caper, artichoke and tomato cream sauce. I asked them to spice it up and it was delish! Nice size portion, I could have gone for double the risotto because it was so yummy! My hubby liked the scallops and the other hubby liked the ahi tuna--all beautifully presented. We had the creme brulee for dessert, the other couple had the bread pudding and cinnamon ice cream. The creme brulee was not the best I ever had, but it was up there in the top 5! Noisy! read more

Wow!!! What an amazing restaurant!!! I'd return to this place weekly if I lived in the area. Staff was welcoming, food was delicious and the outdoor dining experience was perfect. What a way to end a long week of work. read more

Friday night. Place is packed. We didn't have to wait too long for a table. Pretty good start to the evening. It was a bit chilly but we sat on the patio under the heat lamps. The service receives top marks. We never had to wait or want for anything. I started with the cheddar ale soup. This had a nice blend of flavors and neither was overpowering. They also get you going with a nice bread/oil thing which is always nice. For dinner, I tried the surf and turf. This was a crab cake and a fillet. The crab cake was delicious. 'nough said. The fillet was perfectly prepared. The bar area was hard to get service. They were busy, but really didn't pay attention to who was next (-1). read more

Love the patio, it is so pretty and relaxing. Food and drinks are great! Last time I was there was for girls night out and our waitress kept reminding us what time it is and that there is another reservation in 30 minutes. So for now on if I go, I will be sure to sit at the bar only. read more

Love the bar for dinner. Food is consistently good. I like the kale salad and seared tuna.

One of our all-time favorites. Best crab cakes bar none. The outdoor area is beautiful. Quiet and serene. Great for groups. Service is always excellent. read more

Service was excellent as always, the pork sandwich for lunch is just plain awesomeness on your tongue. The place has a great outdoor dining area. Wonderful for dinner too. read more

I ate here this past weekend for an early dinner with my girlfriend and her parents. Since I was meeting them there and they arrived before me, I did not actually see much of the restaurant other than the room that we were located in which had a small number of white tablecloth covered tables. Our group decided to start off our evening with both the Southwest jalapeno corn cakes which were covered in a drizzle of poblano cream and raspberry chipotle sauce and also the crispy calamari which came with a side of chile sauce. The calamari was good as it was crispy, yet not tough to chew and tasted great when covered with some of the chile sauce. The corn cakes were also good with the raspberry topping adding some needed sweetness although it was difficult to taste much of the jalepeno. For my entree I decided on the horseradish crusted Alaskan cod that came with a lemon butter sauce, mashed potatoes and asparagus. My cod was cooked perfectly and came out warm but was very disappointing in taste. It seemed like the horseradish crust on mine was missing and since cod is such a mild fish, it was almost like eating something flavorless and wet. This was only only helped by the fact that my lemon butter sauce seemed to be MIA. The only saving grace of my dish was that the asparagus was cooked nicely and the mashed potatoes were extremely creamy. I was also able to try the sesame crusted tuna which my girlfriend had ordered and was covered in a soy sauce glaze with wasabi aoili. It was actually very good with the sauces on it providing some depth which stood in stark contrast to my meal. For dessert my girlfriend and I decided to split a creme brulee which came topped with some strawberries. The custard of it was a bit watery but that did not seem to affect the good flavor of it and you could actually see the vanilla bean in the custard. The bottom line for me is that based on my meal, I would probably not head back here in the future on my own accord. However, my girlfriends dish was pretty good and I have heard from a friend that his horseradish encrusted cod was very good the night before and so maybe I just got a bad one. read more

We went for a girls night, and although the atmosphere in the dining room was a little stuffy (we should've went to the bar area), the food was great! I had the lobster and crab pappardelle and it was worth the slightly high price tag with tons of lobster and homemade pasta. My friends got the chicken penne, mozzarella linguine, and shrimp bisque and all enjoyed their entrees as well. I would return. read more

I'm surprised Andora doesn't have a solid 4 star rating considering the food is consistently delicious and presented in a timely manner. I normally go for the seafood; any of their grilled or seared fish is worthwhile. The tuna is personally my favorite, it's melt in your mouth kind of tuna. Crabcakes come with baltimore style large chunks of crabmeat and is easily. I have heard they have a pretty awesome back porch during fair weather months. read more

Am giving three stars based more on their lovely patio seating. The land is more industrial than anything, but you wouldn't really know when you're out on the patio, green lush surrounds you. The food wasn't that great. The best thing was the calamari for an appetizer. I had the crab cakes with rice and veggies. Absolutely no flavor. So bland. Was veggies with butter and rice with butter, nothing more nothing less. Would go here if I wanted a nice patio and okay appetizers. But wouldn't suggest going for a good entree. read more

Although we always enjoy the food at Andora's I had an experience that I must post. August 18th we were seated and a friend of mine and myself asked for a Yuengling draft. The waitress brought each of us a half a beer and said that they were changing the keg and that she would bring us the other half later. I drank it although it was flat, told he that when she finally returned. She gave no comment however after another 10 minutes brought us another half glass of beer. I don't expect freebies however, HOW CHEAP CAN YOU BE!! Doubt that I will return any time soon. read more

We had a fantastic dinner at Andora. Everything from the seafood nachos, which was delicious & enough for several people to enjoy, to the cheesecake deserts were excellently prepared & served. I had a crab linguine in a white sauce that will have me going back for more! The filet and scallops were both also wonderful meals that were enjoyed tremendously. Love this place! read more

Visited Andora with a date on the recommendation of a co-worker. The location is very convenient, right off the highway but in a wooded area (not sure how bad the bugs are in the summer). The facility is clean and well-kept. Dining rooms are beautifully decorated, fancy but not too fancy. We were there at 6:00 on a weekday and they were near full capacity. Not chaotic though. A wide range of clientele, business people to families with kids. So as nice as the place was I would not go there for a romantic dinner that required quiet conversation. Here's where it gets weird. Our server was brimming with attitude, she was way beyond having a bad day. She was dismissive and rude. This ruined the whole experience for us. The food was quite good. The menu is stocked with basic fare with flare, everything we had was above average in quality. I would not repeat due to the terrible attitude of our server. read more

This used to be a great place but I'm afraid there was a chef change or something and it is headed down hill. The service was great- absolutely top notch. HOwever, I got a pasta dish and had tons and tons of oil and wasn't very flavorful. My dining companion got the steak which was overdone and tough. I'm hoping they can turn this around! read more

My wife and I went to Andora for our anniversary and I could not be happier with our experience - we definitely will be back. That being said, the Yelp reviews were relatively mixed and a lot of the neutral to negative points seemed valid even though we were very happy with our experience. We requested seating on the deck in our reservation and were given a prime table under cover for a 7:30 weekday reservation. The host seated us immediately and we were given water and drink menus. Warm bread with dipping oil arrived shortly after and the server seemed to always be there right when we needed them. On a warm spring evening, the outside area was very nice and I would highly recommend sitting outside. The menu was limited and appeared like it changed a lot, but my wife and I were very happy with our meals. She had a filet and I had a swordfish, but the deal breaker was a zucchini ribbon appetizer. Neither of us had tried zucchini ribbon before, but this was a lightly fried zucchini stuffed with cheese and dipped in a spicy ranch / southwest style sauce. It was absolutely amazing (as was the complimentary bread and dipping oil). There was a good number of wines available by the glass and we ended up hanging around longer than we normally would have due to the excellent, low pressure service and the affordable (relatively affordable) wine by the glass. Andora is an expensive, special occasion type place ($20 - $30 a plate, $7 - $9 for a glass of house wine) but we felt was well worth it and will definitely be back. The bar looked very nice, but appeared to be crowded with "regulars" as did the restaurant in general. A lot of the reviews mentioned that the hosts weren't particularly friendly to people who walked in without reservations and I got the feeling that we would have had the same reaction if we didn't have reservations, even though it was not that busy and a Tuesday evening. In a nut shell... PROS: Very good, gourmet food. Relatively affordable wine by the glass, excellent service, and excellent outdoor seating area. Reservations available online and relatively easy to get. NEUTRAL: Seems to be filled with "regulars" and the bar did not appear very approachable (although we did not sit at the bar so may be cynical from reading Yelp reviews before hand). Menu changes frequently (which could be a pro or a con). CONS: Expensive (but to be expected from a gourmet restaurant), reservations highly recommended We really enjoyed our experience and will be back! read more

Wasn't really impressed with this restaurant. My salmon was a small portion and was really char grilled tasting. Came here for Father's Day with a group of family members. Although the brownie and ice cream was good read more

Andora - Salmon rice and asparagus - New American Near Me - Sewickley, Pennsylvania

The food is delicious name the service is fast and friendly. We only went in time but will be back. Their mixed drinks are fantastic also.

Food was great! I ordered the scallops and subbed out the risotto for broccolini, scallops were nicely seared, good portion size and nice flavors. Being from the Maryland area, we opted not to get crabcakes, but the server told us they were excellent and one of the more popular items on the menu. As an app for the table, we ordered a variety of small plates, but the calamari really stood out. Calamari was crispy, nicely breaded, but not too much breading (many places are very guilty of this). Great flavoring and not too salty. I also ordered shrimp bisque as a starter - would not recommend, it was over salted to the point where I could not finish it and I usually love soup! Service was excellent, especially accommodating the one child in our group. Our server also made sure I always had a drink in my hand! Be sure of where you plan on sitting too - we thought we originally reserved the outside dining area, but they could not accommodate us as a larger group and we sat inside instead. Not a big deal, but I've heard the outside dining area is even better. read more

Andora is a great spot for outdoor dining, as the food is great and the atmosphere is delightful. I really enjoy the outdoor dining area, so if it's nice, give it a shot. Andora can get very, very busy on Friday and Saturday nights, and usually has a large crowd during the week as well. The bar is good too, and if you're only going for drinks know that the crowd is my parent's age, not mine. The crab cakes here are some of the best in the city, and I find it hard to pass them up when I go. read more

Andora has always been a favorite of our family! The warm atmosphere and excellent service are second to none.

I was here for a special occasion, and must say that it was not what I expected. The menu offers a wide variety of options, but you should be sure to ask your server what they suggest as in small restaurants like this they typically know what is better to order. I got a steak here and was not impressed. While it was cooked to temperature, the steak was dry and was lacking in seasoning. For the price, I've had better steaks at Atria's or Bravos in the area. My girlfriend got the crab cakes, which were great. I recommend these as an appetizer or an entrée. Our server was knowledgeable, but she could have known a bit more about the wine list. That being said, I must mention that they have $20 bottles (A decent variety) that offer value to their customers. I would go here again and steer clear of the steaks. I feel as if my experience would have been better if my server would have suggested a better entrée. read more

Made reservations, which worked out great. When we got here we sat at the bar got a drink a and an app, the ahi tuna very good, portion was a little small. Sat outside for dinner, highly recommend that when able, outside area is great. Got the surf and turf, filet and crab cake and pasta with seafood that also had peppers and sausage in it. Dinner was great, we left happy and stuffed! read more

My friends(8 total) and I go to dinner every month for about 15 years. This is a time for us to relax and catch up with each other. Each of us gets a pick for their birthday and I raved about Andora's because I have been there many of times. We had reservations at 5:30. The night started off very nice. Service was good. The food was good. We ordered drinks, salads, soups, entrees, desserts. We got our checks at 7:25 and paid them. And the waitress kept coming over cleaning up the table and promptly took our checks. There were a few empty tables behind us. The manager came over at 7:40 and said that this is awkward but he had booked another table for 7:30. I have never been so embarrassed and upset. We spent how much money at this establishment tonight and thought it was ridiculous that he came over considering there were tables behind us that could have been pushed together, when we got there no one ever said you only have the table till 7:30 and not one other person was asked to leave. I don't know that I will be back because what is supposed to be a nice night out was ruined by the abrupt ending. read more

Food is crazy overpriced and the quality is subpar. Makes me sad, because I used to take clients here for dinner a lot. That was probably close to 10 years ago. Really gone downhill. read more

A top spot in the north hills area. Consistently delicious dishes and attentive service. We have have hosted large groups as-well-as had intimate quite dinners at Andorra and both have been top notch and well received. Definitely recommend! read more

We went Saturday night for my wife's birthday. They have outdoor seating with heaters to keep you comfortable in the cool Spring evenings. They were so nice and attentive. We had great food and celebration. read more

First time eating here. Food was very tasty, good portions and it was aBeautiful place. We got to sit out back on their patio. Everyone was very friendly and I was pleased with their social distancing policy. Why did I put 2 stars you ask? The waitress snaked us. 4 of us got entrees. The first 3 people that ordered, she asked, "Do you want soup OR salad" making is think that it was part of the meal. When she got to me, she asked "Do you want anything else?" I asked if it came with anything else and she said No, Salad and soup are extra. This was kind of a sneaky move on her part. She made it seem that soup/salad came with the meal and then charged us for the soups. With as expensive as the entrees were, soup/salad should be included like anywhere else. Very sneaky way to fluff up the bill. read more
