I visited Andria's for the 1st time last year & if you go I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you're goin on a Saturday night I would recommend gettin there early cause they don't take reservations on Saturdays & it is always crowded on Saturdays (of course). Anyway, the restaraunt is very charming & the staff are friendly (which you can't take for granted nowadays) & the steaks are in the close to perfect category. The sauce they use to grill the steaks is not overbearing & compliments the flavor of the steak nicely. My strip was cooked exactly as ordered. The house salad dressing was very nice & an extra large Idaho spud wrapped in plain brown paper was a perfect companion for this great steak. My wife's fillet was also cooked exactly as she ordered it & was a very nice cut of meat. There are some good steak houses in (St. Louis) & I've tried alot of them, but Andria's is worth trekkin into to Illinois & is not hard to find. The atomosphere is nice for the dating crowd out there & couples, but probably not the best place to bring small children. My birthday is comin up in a couple of weeks & I thought about tryin another steak emporium I've yet to enter, but with the way the economy is I can't take a chance on blowin $90+ on a meal only to be disappointed. I think I'll just go to Andria's instead & know it's gonna be good.......
Pros: great steaks, nice atmosphere, friendly staff
Cons: long waits on Saturday nights if you don't get there early
