Andre's Restaurant

We have come here for the past two years for the Thanksgiving Buffet. It is really delicious, with a huge variety of traditional Thanksgiving foods, plus seafood, a breakfast buffet and other meats like prime rib, ham and chicken. The dessert bar is also delicious. The service is excellent, and they provide a sax player that is very entertaining. I love this place!!

Andre's Restaurant is inside of the Doubletree by Hilton Torrance - South at near Village Del Amo. The restaurant is under construction so seating was in the bar area which has access and a view of the pool. There are some tables on the patio and plenty of comfortable seats in the bar. The decor seems to have a retro Hollywood feel to it. Nice and cozy but not overly bright but just right.If I remember correctly, they said the beer and wine selection are a bit limited (possibly because of the current construction). They have a good selection of menu items to select from despite the current construction.Steve was friendly, attentive and as helpful as possible. We tried the fettuccine spicy tomato Italian sausage and pizza con salmone affumicato. Both dishes were nice, not too spicy pasta plus a flavorful smoked salmon with a crispy crust.Give Andre's a visit and try them out!

A buddy of mine picked this place off Yelp and decided to give it a shot. Andre's Restaurant is located inside the Double Tree Hilton towards the back. We were just standing there at the front waiting for a server to come get us. Then a server in the back starts yelling nicely to us, "Go Ahead! Pick any seat!" LOL. The interior is pretty chill, it does have the fancier vibes. They do have a jukebox where you can control via an app. There's also an outside seating area with a fireplace. My buddy got the Angus Burger with Seasoned Fries ($20) and Butterfly Margarita ($8 Happy Hour must purchase applicable food) and he enjoyed it. I got the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp add-on ($10 add-on for shrimp which is ridiculously overpriced lol) Pasta was good, although a bit of priced imo. ($29) Our server was great throughout the visit. Overall, it's a great place to have lunch or dinner with friends or co-workers.

I was happy to see that Andre's Restaurant was located right in the DoubleTree Hilton in Torrance. Even though the restaurant was closed due to renovations, they adapted and had spaces in the lounge for people to eat. My first night the service was excellent. I ordered the South Bay Salad and it was very delicious. For me, there was way too much dressing but that's because I don't typically use dressing. Other than that it was good. I ordered the Salmon Tacos and overall they were good. The sauce was packed with flavor, loved it. The problem was I could not taste the salmon, not at all. The black beans dominated the taco and I felt disappointed because I love salmon.The Pomegranate Mojito was the star of my evening. It was extremely flavorful and packed with alcohol. I'm glad I wasn't driving.The next morning I ordered room service. The service was fast and the French Toast was delicious. What made me angry was that the hotel online menu said a small pot of coffee was $8, but the restaurant charged me $10. I told the server and she told me she would ask about it. When I didn't hear back I called the restaurant. The host told me that the hotel menu was wrong and the cost was $10. I could've made a fuss and demanded the menu price, but I chose not to. It was raining that day, I was tired and didn't feel like being bothered. It was very poor customer service on their part. They needed to honor the price on the hotel menu, but they didn't. I can't say I won't go back there if I'm ever in Torrance. But if I'm ever mischarged again I will demand they honor what the menu says.

Came in here on a Mother's Day. Our server was awesome! The food was great! Biscuits were a little off they were crumby... which was odd I'd never experienced anything like it.

Let me begin my review by saying the service was amazing. Everyone was attentive and helpful. We went for Sunday Champagne Brunch. I wanted to try it out before inviting our kids and their families for my husband's birthday later in the month.The cost is 55.00 per person. I expect amazing food as well as service for that price, but the buffet was disappointing. It wasn't very big and some of the food was barely warm. There should have been more selections. The roast beef was excellent, the cold shrimps fresh and tasty, and they were the only exceptional items. The rest of the items we tried were just "fine".We were there early, seated at a nice table with a lovely view of the pool. I don't think we will return. It is sad that old school Sunday Brunch Buffets are no longer done properly.

Food was fair service was okay. But the thing that threw me for a loop was an automatic 23% service charge. You don't know that until you get your bill. It was infuriating. The service wasn't worth it.

Torrance Food Crawl #336Andre's is located in the Torrance DoubleTree by Hilton hotel (as it's currently branded). While there are some casual eating options in the hotel, Andre's is the more formal restaurant option. It's normally only open for breakfast and lunch - there is a dinner service but only in the form of "in room dining" if you're staying at the hotel. (I've been here in the evenings when a special event was booked, but those would not be normal restaurant experiences.) I've been at this restaurant several times over the last few decades, starting with it's Holiday Inn incarnation. In the past the dining experience was about what you would expect from a restaurant catering to people living a transient lifestyle.I started with the soup of the day, a Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. The soup contained a lot of chicken. It was not overly salty, something I find much too often. The soup tasted like a classic chicken noodle soup which is a good thing.Rather than try a standard item from the menu I chose the daily special, Bavettine Pasta, which was described as sautéed fresh garlic, smoked salmon, fresh arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, served over tricolor fettuccine pasta. The tomatoes came off a little on the strong side, perhaps a fewer number would have been better. The salmon was good but struggled in taste with the tomatoes and arugula. I learned about arugula some years ago and its possible health benefits so when I see it in a dish I react positively to its presence. This arugula was fresh but a little on the stringy side (I had to fish some of it out from between my teeth). The pasta tasted fresh though any appearance of its tri-color aspect was sort of lost in the dish. Overall very good.This week when I visited the restaurant around 1pm it was almost empty, just a few tables occupied. Service was very good (kudos to Servando). I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Hilton HHonors wifi account automatically came up on my smartphone even though I haven't stayed at a Hilton hotel in several years. (Trivia: before I retired I was spending as much as 200 days/year on the road so I'm very accustomed to living on the road.) Unfortunately, the wifi signal had very limited bandwidth making it practically unusable while I was in the restaurant.

I come here a lot after work by myself or some coworkers. Luis the bartender is always amazing makes me feel like family. He's always a good vibe friendly &' talks to me as well. The happy hour deals are to die for from appetizers to entrees &' even drinks. Definitely recommend. I just hope that Luis will be there every time I come in.
