alking into Andu feels like an emersion into a rich and fertile ocean floor. With the white walls smattered in designer bubbles and glowing blue lights, it’s like entering the Little Mermaid’s private dressing room (note: no matter how much you want to, do not sing "Under The Sea" on the premises. You will impress no one). With posh décor and a strong menu to match, the fishbowl comparison will soon be even more fitting as Andu is on its way to being a see-and-be-seen kind of spot.

Executive Chef Nate Martin (previously at Nikki Beach) has conjured up an eclectic Mediterranean menu that will get your taste buds salivating. The décor-appropriate seafood options are mentionable, if you’re not a huge fan of Sebastian - in which case you may become a bit mortified from here on in.

The oversize décor and the handsome floors set an appropriate and sexy mood for the seafood-intensive menu. Succulent lobsters are served up in large portions for families and friends to share. Shipped in from the plentiful shores of Maine, the little red delights come with scallion mashed potatoes and English peas. The salt cod main is muddled up with olive oil, cream, garlic and milk to make up the most luscious brandade. The brandade is then served with sun-dried tomato tapenade and preserved with lemon juice. “Fruits de mer,” as they say.

As for the less-finned and more four-legged options, there is an equally scrumptious selection to choose from. Try the milk-fed veal parmigiana smothered in a caper/lemon emulsion with roasted tomatoes topped off with eggplant caviar. The lamb loin is a near second with its goat cheese crust on a bed of vegetable orzo risotto.

Regardless of all the extravagance of the Mediterranean mains, Andu’s desserts take the cake, so to say. The Pineapple Dreams are expertly disguised portions of crème brulee topped off with thin pineapple slices and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or try the Florida orange white hot chocolate doughnuts for a change. And for those of you out there more in favor of an intoxicating liquid aperitif, Andu offers up a tasty rose petal martini to quench your thirst.
