The Andu Restaurant and Lounge was the backdrop for another first-class GenArt sponsored event. (“Gen Art is the leading arts and entertainment organization dedicated to showcasing emerging fashion designers, filmmakers, musicians and visual artists…”). These events are always a treat, and this one, where treats were in abundance, was no exception. 
Head Chef Nate Martin and his bar chef Damain Rivadeneyra had stations around the restaurant to demonstrate how to make a variety of martinis and hors d’ oeuvres. 
Chef Nate Martin showed off his talents and skill by making creations that were completely original and spontaneous. One of my favorites was an ensemble of thin sliced grilled lamb with glazed pear (glazed with a blowtorch). The restaurant is known for it’s novel martinis and the couple that I tried were scrumptious – cilantro and lychee (Chinese edible fruit of the soapberry family). 
Andu Restaurant and Lounge is in the Brickell area at 141 SW 7th Street (Neo Vertika Bldg). The interior of the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous – a sleek atmosphere with hand-blown glass bubbles by Norwegian glass artist Terje Lundaas.
