We had an excellent date night at Andrea’s. First time there, loved the time warp atmosphere. Great homemade Caesar salad and escargot, and the flambéed steaks were not only cool but cooked perfectly. Prices very reasonable. Thank you! We’ll be back!

Our fifth time going to Andrea's, We visit every time when visiting from out of town. The staff are very attentive, friendly and the food service is great. The look from the outside is dated, but specific for the time period and history of the restaurant. Waitress has a wealth of information about it's history and stories of the previous owners. I would highly suggest this restaurant, a hidden gem that most people drive by.

The food was blah. No seasoning on steak. Frozen fries all 10 that we got. The vegetables were frozen. Yes frozen! With all the markets in Muskoka and you have frozen green giant vegetables. Let's not talk about the Caesar salad that was swimming in some buttery sauce with these tiny tiny pieces of croutons I believe! And the garlic bread was days old. NOT IMPRESSED $250 would have been better flushed. Sorry would not recommend this place. Oh and let's not forget the items offered but not on menu. So if your not a regular you won't know cause the waitress won't t offer it. For example. Rack of lamb No specials but there is a creepy old lady walking around d watching ya. Could go on but I think you get it. Don't waste your $$$ here

Unbelievable, it's as Good as I can remember. We heard that Andrea's reopened last Friday and we were anxious to try it out. Steve and his staff did not disappoint as the Prime Rib was excellant as well as the soup we had for starters. Unfortunately there was No room for dessert but we will try next time. Service was great and dinner was amazing! Thanks again .....

A pure restaurant experience. Swords! Stucco! Lush carpeting! Table side Caesar salad, Cherries jubilee AND Spanish coffee. Beautiful aged steaks, perfectly prepared seafood and frozen veggies. Anyone who fails to appreciate a gem like this is incapable of joy and not worth anyone's time.

Vegetarian options: Frozen vegetables were served. The onion soup was a small portion with next to no onions, topped with processed cheese and next to no croutons. Will not be returning. Food

Food was great and priced well! I had the large Prime rib med rare! It was simply fantastic! My company had the new York steak. It was charcoal grill and tasted great too! The salad was good yet my french onion soup needed more spice and was so so...dessert was good..ice cream and cake.the atmosphere was old time steak house as you can see but it was fine. The staff was great and we were the first customers since they reopened! They took great caution when serving and seating! That was nicely done and professional! Thanks for the asking the extra steps for our safety!!!! Will be back soon

We saw the stars and thought this would be a good choice for our Christmas Eve dinner. What a mistake. Got here at 6 and after 2 hours my food came all wrong. Service was awful as well. The server literally told me to make a choice fast, we are in a rush when i asked for a suggestion.

Sad soggy garlic shrimp. Service was subpar/frantic, at which the waitresses attended the local people they knew first. Between Struggling with water refills and simple requests with heavy delay, this is not somewhere I would recommend or eat at again. Sorry, not sorry!

I absolutely loved the atmosphere... the way theyve done the inside of the place is incredible....however, it was so hot I couldnt really enjoy my food. I dont know if the air was broken or what happened but I actually had to leave to go outside to cool down.....even though its summer and outside is pretty hot. Is nice and quiet so good for people who get sensory overload. Wasnt crazy about the food but it was ok

We ordered the prime rib and the NY striploin with deep fried shrimps. The prime rib was absolutely stunning. It was one of the best Ive ever had. I usually like my steak medium-rare, but I think medium was perfect for this prime rib. The medium-rare NY striploin was slightly underwhelming. The cut itself was great, but I think it was missing some flavours. But it did come with a side of butter (which I assume was also for the side of baked potatoes) and it worked out in the end. All the staff were friendly except for one waitress who brought over the food and the bill. She seemed unpleasant and never said a word to us. I would definitely come back for the prime ribs. Its a must try!

December 21, 2019

even less than that !!! I am 76 years of age and have long ago given up to write reviews on Restaurants. But the rudeness of a male individual who greeted us on Sunday, August 25th 2019 when I arrived at 12.30 at the locality (after having traveled 160Km from Toronto with 3 European guests ) being told to GET OUT - WE ONLY OPEN AT 5.30 PM ON SUNDAYS was enough to change my mind ! We had checked the hours of operation on their web site prior to leaving Toronto...i.e. Sundays 11.30 to 10.00 PM and the red neon sign outside said OPEN and than being told to GET OUT was the rudest treatment I have experienced so far. The individual - even if he would be sweeping floors in my Business - would be looking for a new place of employment.

We were at the mercy of eating at whatever place was open on Thanksgiving night at 7:30pm and ended up here, so we had no expectations. Loved the time capsule classic 50s steakhouse vibe when walked in. Had high hopes for the French Onion Soup but it was a watery bummer...I want a rich broth with Gruyere, not a thin broth with too much pepper topped with mozzarella cheese. Ordered the prime rib with baked potato and asked for it medium. It came well done with the thickest part cooked at a medium well. The veggies on the side were mushy too. All in all the food was just...fine. This place has been in business for 30-40 years, it sounds like, so they re doing something right...it just wasn t my experience this evening.

Great place. Love the old atmosphere and the pleasant service. Ordered the prime rib and it was massive and delicious, simple veggies and a baked potato for the side were a nice complement to the main. We ordered a seafood platter app and it seemed a little small but after seeing the size of the main course I was glad i didnt fill up before hand.

Ive been coming here for 30 years. The food and service are top notch. This is a slower paced, semi upscale, old fashioned restaurant and that should be what is expected should you choose to dine here. There is no better place in town for Surf and Turf and Steve (the owner) will often take a break from the kitchen or other management duties to see how your table is doing. He will also often come out for meals ordered via the flambe wagon portion of the menu. An order from that section includes a bit of a show for you but I wont spoil it. Youll have to come see it for yourself. You wont regret it.

Away for an over night with my family and 2 kids we were excited for a nice juicy steak and seafood dinner. From the minute we walked in the door the server said Hi did you read the menu at the door as in could we afford it? Or perhaps as in, this is not a kids restaurant? At that point we decided to still come in and sit down. They sat us down, never offered me a high chair for my 1 year old. It wasnt until 20 minutes later when the server said oh she better sit on her bum, and I joked, dont worry we wont sue if she falls....then 1 minute later out of no where a high chair was brought over. Let me tell you the food was really delicious. That was not an issue. My kids were also very well behaved....not our server but the woman who I believe to be the owner was nothing short of miserable....rolling her eyes as we took time to order...She was annoyed from the get go when she saw us walk in with our kids. The cherry on the top was when it came to pay and my husband and brother in law were splitting the bill and asked to make 2 transactions. She was annoyed even more and basically through the split bill on the table. Although the food was delicious she made me feel uncomfortable and a noucense for bothering her restaurant atmosphere with my familys presence. Id take crappy food with great customer service over this snooty restaurant anyday.

Great very traditional steak and seafood restaurant. Very 1970s style interior and the food and service are likely as consistent as the decor, which is a good thing! I told Steve, the owner that this is my new favorite restaurant even though this was my first visit. Fair prices and well prepared food, what else do you need? We have been back since and we still call it our favorite steak house and local fine dining restaurant. We will be back forsure!

I did not enjoy my dinner here tonight. The food sizes were way too small for price. We were ignored at the door for 15 minutes. The actual meal was not a good size and the veg was just carrots with no choice. I do not like how your only picked side was rice fry or baked potatoes for 35.00 this should have more options. Would not go back. Unless it was to steal the Caesar salad recipe as that was brilliant and so good.

Went to Andreas to celebrate my father in laws birthday and it was great! The decor has a very medieval feel to it. Prices are reasonable for what you get, although the sides could be a little bigger (but the main is a very generous portion). I would highly recommend eating the Rib Eye, which was the tastiest dinner choice of the evening, and the Spanish Coffee (bonus points for the show involved in making the drink). I gave it 4 stars because not everyone enjoyed their meal. The fish tasted good but bland. The filet mignon was a little overcooked (beyond what was requested). I would go back here again.
