Andreotti's Viennese Cafe

 My grandparents had just come home from a month long trip to Florida and John and I were invited to go out to dinner with them. Being a Saturday night, it was difficult to find a restaurant that didn't have an hour long wait time. After attempting to go to two other restaurants we finally decided to go to Andreotti's Viennese Cafe.
  When we first walked in we were surprised to see that the restaurant was set up similar, but not exactly the same, to how we envision our restaurant to be some day. When you enter there is a wine bar and bakery section, which then leads into the first dining room and then to the bar and second dining room. Every Saturday they have live music, which was just starting to pick up.
We were seated at a table in the corner of the first dining room, which made me very happy because I did not want to be in the same room as the music. Before we even had the chance to open our menus there was a six cheese spread and toasted bread slices on the table. John absolutely LOVED this and so did the rest of us! After perusing the menu here is what we ended up choosing:

• Spinach egg drop soup
• Philly cheese steak spring rolls
• Lobster Gnocchi 
• Boneless pork chop milanese

Most of the table started out with a cup of the Spinach egg drop soup. John thought the soup was very similar to an Italian wedding soup or Escarole, for those who are familiar. Soon after, our spring rolls arrived! We felt that it was absolutely necessary to order these so that we could compare with the empanadas from Good Dog. I think saying that our only complaint was that there were only two about sums it up (DELICIOUS). We were really surprised that our waitress brought us out some sorbet to clean our pallets after our appetizers! This was a great addition to the meal. Everyone loved their entrees. The gnocchi was perfectly portioned and had a tasty cream based sauce and huge chunks of lobster in it. John's pork chop fell apart easily without needing a knife and was cooked just the way he wanted it. Dessert was served differently than most restaurants we have been to lately. Instead of having a menu, we were presented with a tray of small pastries and tarts and were able to pick as much or as little as we liked. They were all baked on premises. The small desserts were a perfect ending because after so much food we were still able to satisfy our sweet tooth.
  Overall:

• Likes: Friendly staff, portion size, variety of menu items, not overcrowded, cheese spread, spring rolls, lobster gnocchi
• Dislikes: The entertainer (didn't have much knowledge of lyrics-lol)

  John and I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! We loved it and know you will to!
