Great food. Seemed a little short on wait staff. Didn’t stick around to hear the music, but overall, a great experience. Planning on going back.

A Saturday evening..we shared two small plates, a salad, a pasta dish and dessert; everything was on point, delicious! To nail each and every course on a weekend night is worthy of praise and respect! We will be back!

Excellent ambiance with a table by the bay. Manager Tanner was gracious in getting us seated and cocktails on the way. Food was just right and Jagger our server could not have been more pleasant and efficient. This was a perfect evening with our friends in from Florida.

The menu had a wide selection of food and several gluten free options. Everyone at our table had something different and enjoyed it immensely. The service was excellent, with perfect timing and professionalism. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming - and the AC felt amazing since the area was experiencing a heat wave!

The Mother's Day Brunch at Andrea was excellent from a number of factors. There was no shortage of options. The ambience was excellent. The service was efficient, friendly, and courteous. Ultimately, a buffet brunch at a resort as nice as Pelican Hill is pricey but the variety and quality of the food, service and surroundings made it worth it for sure.
