We went there this evening, 6 of us. The waiter gave us water with a single lemon in each water. When we asked for more lemons, the waiter said he would need to charge us. Terrible!!!! You would rather sacrifice making $200 with bill, then provide extra lemons. We walked out, and will never go there again.

I asked for extra lemons and the main waiter told me he was going to charge me. So he was willing to lose over a $150 bill plus tip just to charge me for a 20 cent lemon. The boy he kept sending to our table kept rolling his eyes irritated because we were asking for lemons. My family and I will never go back just because of the terrible service we received!

I was disappointed with the food and price. I came w/ a Ladies group of 8 for a Friday lunch. There was only one other table with 2. I was wanting some fettuccine alfredo which was not offered on the lunch menu. The dinner price was $21.00 and came w/ a salad bar. But there was no salad bar so I received a side salad instead. No croutons no cheese. The entre itself was not good. The alfredo sauce was watery and bland. I had also asked ahead of time for extra sauce (because I have digestion issues) unfortunately I was not told that would cost me an extra $6.00. My drink was water. I was charged an automatic tip. Somehow with tax my lunch bill was over $35.00. Promise not worth the price.

This place is a Hidden Gem! Their spicy marinara sauce is out of this world and their native dishes are absolutely incredible. This cuisine has opened up a whole New World of incredible taste and I just can’t get enough. Five stars across the board for me!

I typically only leave positive reviews because there are enough bad ones but this place was a complete disappointment. Not a single refill the entire time, my meal was served wrong then when they tired to correct it couldn’t be eaten. The worst part was when the bill was set on the table the host came back a few minutes later and presented us with a bill that was more expensive, stating he forgot something… possibly, who knows we didn’t get to review the two.

Really good food, and a waiter that does not pester, comes at the correct times.

Calzones are delicious and not all chewy bread.
Papa Rellena is really good.

Definitely will be back.

5-Stars! We ended up here by chance. We went to another Italian restaurant first but the wait was an hour, so we left and went to Andino. We were glad we did.

I’ve always wanted to try Andino but low 4 stars didn’t compel me. I can’t speak for others, but our experience was fantastic.

It’s a quaint little restaurant. The ambiance is great. Not noisy. Just the faint chatter of other guests.

The bruschetta appetizer was delicious. The toppings well seasoned and the bread light and crispy.

Our salad was self-crafted from a salad bar (romaine lettuce). It was all fresh. (Hey, staff, if you’re reading this, adding grated Romano cheese, black olives, mushrooms, and Caesar dressing to the bar would make it top-notch! ?☺️)

The fresh homemade garlic dinner rolls were yummy. Perfect for cleaning up leftover entree sauce! ??

Speaking of the entrees, my with and I had similar dishes. She had the Fish Francese. I had the chicken Francese. We were delighted! The portion was perfect and it was the best tasting we’ve had in years!! It was the perfect blend of flavors. Great job!!! ? ??

So, we give it 5 stars and will return again!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Andino Restaurante is a true culinary gem. I recently had the pleasure of enjoying their incomparable Flounder Francese accompanied by a Quinoa Salad, and I can say without a doubt that it was a gastronomic experience that I will remember.
The Flounder Francese was cooked to perfection: the fish was tender, with a golden coating and a delicate but deep flavour, complemented perfectly by the fresh, slightly citrusy sauce. The Quinoa Salad was the ideal accompaniment: light, but full of flavor, with a mix of fresh ingredients and textures that elevated the dish to another level.
The atmosphere at Andino is cozy and elegant, ideal for enjoying a relaxed meal. The service was impeccable; The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always willing to offer recommendations.
In short, Andino Restaurante offers a perfect combination of exceptional flavors, quality service and a charming atmosphere. If you are looking for a unique culinary experience, don't miss this place. I will return without a doubt!

Garlic bread and macaroni salad all had a hint of a fishy taste. Stuffed shells and chicken Alfredo were ok.

The waiting staff judges you by appearance and prioritizes you in that order. It happened to me three times. Food is great but I will not be back. If you insist on going to this place take it to go.

We have tried this place numerous times. There are alot of inconsistencies but there aren't alot of Italian restraunts in the Greer area so we also find ourselves going back hoping it would be better than the last time. What do I mean by Inconsistencies: beautiful bar- never a bartender on staff so dont plan on even looking at the drink menu...place has been closed randomly the 3/5 times we went during normal business hours. Tonight was unbelievable, my daughter ordered a cheese pizza and I ordered chicken francesse, which I've had before there and it was awesome! Tonight they brought us bread with expired margarine, didn't even know that was a thing! But I will never forget that taste, additionally my chicken was very rubbery and seemed undercooked. I realize mistakes happen, the biggest problem was the chef/owner who decided to come out and argue with me. I won't get into petty details but it was a very poor way to treat your patrons and we will never go back! I tried to explain my experience and owner/chef was very persistent in his way of telling me I'm wrong and did not listen. I am not normally a complainer nor a review poster but felt so upset with my experience I wanted to share. I told him I wasn't going to pay for the meal I didn't eat and didn't like but was still charged even after disputing. I'm sorry but you have to run a business where the patron is happy with meal or you have no patrons! A very bad experience ?

I love this place the food is really, really good. ? The hostess is awesome and the atmosphere is the best part my only critique would be the salad bar I just wish the tomatoes and cucumbers were cut/chopped a little more finer other than that everything was A+?. Highly recommended
