Andiamo Celebrity Showroom

* IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH AND NO ONE FROM ANDIAMO HAS CONTACTED ME. ADD HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO THE LIST *Me & 5 friends bought tickets to Jeff Ross' show back in December of 2022 for an April 2023 show. The show was originally advertised much differently than the late starting show we received on 9/29/23.That aside, we were seated at table 28 in the showroom, and THE ENTIRE TIME a woman and her date at table 29 were disruptive, belligerent, and rude - interrupting the show, resulting in all 6 of us (me and my guests) having a horrendous time.About 20 minutes into the show I approached security, asking them to do something about the disruption. The security guard said, "What am I supposed to do about it, man?" NOT a good response. The security guard then pulled over a man who was passing by, and this man (a manager of some sort) was supposed to intervene; however, NOTHING was done.We all paid $90/ticket, and feel as if we got a $5 firsthand seat to the Mr. & Mrs. Drunk Butt Show, rather than what we paid for.The amount of disruption completely ruined our entire evening, as we originally planned to go out or stay there for drinks and apps, but after experiencing what we did, everyone wanted to go home and wash the stink of the evening off of ourselves.What's worse is that I've reached out 3-4 times to the venue since the incident and have not received a response of any kind.

I came here for an event for the first time last night and it went okay. I have a few thoughts on the event space, and while most of it was good, I also know that Andiamo only has so much control over the situation.For starters, the event area is large, and when pulling in, they have two areas to pull your car into. One is self park for $5, and the other is valet for $10. I chose valet because it was super cold outside and didn't want to have to trudge through the parking lot in the weather. Plus, the lot already looked pretty full, and for a few more bucks, I could let someone else deal with the parking situation. Valet people were friendly, professional and efficient, both parking my car and grabbing my car. While I did have to wait for my car at the end, that's expected since there was a ton of people waiting. No problems there.Walking in, the lobby area is well decorated and looks good. Staff greeted me, and checked me with a wand for weapons. After I was cleared, I found the coat check which is technically free, but you have to leave a tip. I strongly suggest coat check if you have a heavy winter coat since seating in the showroom is extremely tight and compact. Do yourself the favor!Getting into the showroom is obvious and easy enough. the staff was super friendly here, and that's where a lot of my positive experiences occurred. Everyone was professional, friendly, helpful and I can't say enough good things about them here. No stuffiness, all were dressed appropriately, and most importantly, knowledgeable! Each interaction was extremely positive, which made the event so much more worthwhile. They had a fabulous set of ushers who showed me to my seating table after I checked in and I was wonderfully escorted to my table. Menu's were there, which I reviewed but didn't order anything. The food was a bit pricey in my opinion. My one thing is, it seems like their food is meant to be shared, so ordering a single plate of anything seems impossible. Want sliders? You get like a ton. More than one person could eat. I don't have a problem sharing food, but everyone wants something different. I wish they had smaller plates instead of huge portions.They have a cool bar area off to the side and it was fully staffed. Prices are reasonable and they have a great selection of wine and mixed drinks. I wanted a Moscato, but I became so entranced with the speaker and performance, I never did get around to ordering anything beyond water. (I have to stagger my alcohol, otherwise I would either fall asleep or want a second drink and then I would need food, blah blah blah.)I found out that each table has a server that circulates to take drink and food orders during the event. Unfortunately, the kitchen closes at 8:30 PM, so get your food in early?!?! I wasn't hungry but why do they do that. I guess if you want to have dinner at the table, you should get here early. Also, as a side note, my server did an amazing job of checking in on us, *but* the first half hour I was there, I NEVER SAW HER. It wasn't until the event almost started that she came by to check on our table. Ok, so here's where I get really super critical and have issues. The seating here's horrendous. It's long tables with padded chairs facing the stage area. The only "good" seating is the seating in the front area that I will refer to as "the pit." it's the only seating in the house where you can actually see the stage and the presenters without the assistance of the TV's that are severely misplaced throughout the even space. They had many TV's and a screen directly placed behind the stage, but everyone's head was sort of in the way, so you end up either looking to your left or right the entire event to see what's happening. It became uncomfortable after a while between the stackable chairs, cramped seating area and such to see what's happening. I feel like the screen over the stage is poorly placed and hung to low. Literally impossible to see a thing. I had decent seats, but still had to keep adjusting every time since the people in front of me kept adjusting. It's not their fault, it's poorly placed. Also, they kept turning on the house lights that were bright as hell during the event. It was like a spotlight in the face, even sitting back where I was. (I had decent seats, so I wasn't all the way back, but to far back that I shouldn't have gone blind from the lights.) They need to fix this.Also, it was a pain in the butt when everyone was leaving to get their car. There was a huge bottleneck at the front door and we all got jammed up. I almost got run over by a jackass who was running to get his car. He literally pushed me out of his way. Where's security then? People were getting rude and just rushing the door. No order here. Staff should have stepped up to keep the order and stop this from happening. They all seemed to have disappeared at this point. Please take care of that. There were some very rude guests here!

I need to first tell you this. The show does not include dinner and if you buy tickets to a show you need to make a dinner reservation separately. We bought tickets and were told by the hostess over the phone they only serve an hors d'oeuvre platter. Dinner is in dining room and they were booked. We had to dine elsewhere.

All of the food,service and ambiance.The entertainment was greatAnd we look forward to it her future events

The tables are way too crammed together. You have to sit with people you don't know. My husband and I didn't even have any table space. Just two chairs stuck on the end. They charge you to park your own car. Very tacky. The also add their tip to the receipt. Hard to see so I'm sure they get double tipped. My husband went up to the bar and got us two drinks and when we got the bill there was a $5.20 tip on it. What a joke! The waitress didn't bring the drinks to us so why the extreme tip. This place is a greedy money grab which makes it un enjoyable. Will not go back. Unclassy

Bought tickets to see the 70's glam band "The Sweet" Paid $68 each for tickets to see a cover band touring as the Sweet, not one single original member. Get to the venue 35 minutes before the show starts, we cant park in the lot unless we valet because they are out of regular spots. Not letting anyone park my vehicle, so they tell me to park across the street in a lot that they dont own. Get inside and they are charging not only $12 a beer but also a $7.69 gratuity to bring you 2 beers and apparently, she expected a tip on top of that. They pack you in like sardines, tables might be 18" wide and about 2 feet apart. Not a pleasant experience, we will not be back. The cover band was pretty good but not worth the price.

As always, the food at Andiamo's is spectacular! However, we went to see Sweet at the Celebrity Showroom and it was just awful! The tables are too close together and the sound is set up like an outdoor venue as it has way too many amplifiers. It didn't help that this cover band did not understand that Sweet was a glam rock bank and not a heavy metal band. They really did a disservice to the legacy of Sweet. Always go to Andiamo's because of the food but skip the showroom. This was a one and done for us.

We went to see David Foster/Katherine McPhee with another couple. Found out you have to pay to park; $5 self park (why?) and $10 valet. Husband decided to self park and was directed to the back of the building. Once there, someone leaving, (an employee?) told us parking there would 'lock us in' so we went back to the front to park. 'Started early in the bar to meet friends. Found two stools and saw two were reserved. That's okay, the guys said, they'd stand. When the 'reserved' couple showed up, they were with two more and a bit 'put out' (rude) they couldn't nab two more seats. Second thing creating a 'mood.'In the 'showroom,' we found our 'rectangular' table and claimed our seats. These were placed so close together you would touch your neighbors accidentally. We ordered the sliders and they arrived cold. The cheese wasn't even melted. The server was told and he brought us a plate of cookies?? (Without an explanation)The show was okay. The guest singer (from Detroit) was the highlight. Got our bill and noticed a tip for $60 for $175. The added tip is easy to miss.Leaving is a debacle!! One door for 800 people to get to the parking lot. People were all smashed together trying to push through claiming they should go first because they 'self parked.' (So did we, lady). So the ONE door exit is for both valet and self parking. It was frightening! The guy in front of us was using a walker for his Parkinson's and people were pushing, the daughter trying to protect him. We blocked people to give this poor guy some space. It was downright prime for a stampede.For a venue this size, no planned organized exit??! This is a safety issue. Shame on you, Joe Vicari. All of this points to greed. Parking, crowding people together, second class food, no employees directing people to a safe exit. We decided we will no longer patronize Vicari restaurants because his greed has been demonstrated and noticed before. Don't bother!!!

First of all, the bands were great and worth the price. The servers did a great job in such a crowded space. That brings me to the venue. You sit at long narrow tables of 10 people. No assigned seats, just assigned tables so unless you get the front spots, you have heads in your way. The tables are literally crammed in there and I don't know how the servers were able you weave their way through that mess. The parking leaves a lot to be desired. They charge $5.00 to self park (really?) and $10 for valet. Self parking is behind the building in a dimly lit lot so you need to walk back around to the front of the building to enter. They have a larger lot in the front but apparently that's only for valet. Overall, the venue is very poorly laid out but the music was great. If they would have better parking and seating, I would recommend it.

Some of the complaints in the reviews are valid, but there is a lot of whining about the cost and food not being included. Where can you go see a great concert at a small venue for $80-90? Of course dinner isn't included. You are packed in tight, but we have had a great time there.
