    The Audrey is a very elegant restaurant with beautifully prepared food and excellent service. Our server, Henry, was attentive and knowledgeable. The cocktails were exceptional. I had the cantaloupe margarita - a new favorite. And, my husband had the smoky old fashioned- served with a flare. I started with the beet and fresh mozzarella salad - I’d go back to the Audrey just for that salad. We both had pasta for dinner - my husband chose the spaghetti, and I had the mushroom ravioli with truffles. My dish was delicious - very rich. The mascarpone cheesecake was the star of the meal. Cheesecake is not usually my favorite, but this cheesecake was outstanding - more than enough for two people to share - we couldn’t stop eating it. Fantastic restaurant. We’ll be back.

    The food was so amazing I’m certain it has ruined me liking anywhere else. FYI- park 24 Waterway stage and they validate. We ordered the Ahi-Tuna pizza and were skeptical but loved it so much! Impossible to explain al the flavors in each bite. The Korean butter poached crab- wow. And the Big Rib that bursts with flavor and then melts in your mouth. Finished with bread pudding made with croissants and caramelized that was so good we may have licked the plate!
