Andy works in Salt Lake at an upscale restaurant called The New Yorker.  The following article appeared in the Salt Lake Examiner newspaper.  Andy is such a hard worker and everyone likes him.  He's easy to talk to, understanding and kind.  I'm so proud of him!!!  I did have to laugh about what he had to "endure" though, hahaha!

The New Yorker’s $14 prix-fixe lunch in SLC

Salt Lake City Lunch Examiner Heather King

The New Yorker is certainly one of the finest restaurants in Salt Lake City. Designed in 1940’s New York era décor with dark woods, fine linens and a stained-glass ceiling, The New Yorker is a wonderful place to take visitors or become a frequent local diner for lunch or dinner.

Located in the historic 1906 New York Hotel, The New Yorker offers a fantastic two course prix-fixe lunch for just $14 in addition to a wide selection of specials, salads, sandwiches and other entrees.

Included on the prix-fixe menu is a chopped salad with roasted chicken breast, a New York steak sandwich with shoestring potatoes which comes highly recommended, chicken breast marsala or a filet of Atlantic salmon (excellently prepared to the perfect point of juiciness while flaking apart just right) with sour cream whipped potatoes. Each of these entrees comes with the choice of soup (Gastronomy’s wonderful clam chowder or, on this day, cream of mushroom) or Caesar or mixed green salad or a dessert of Tahitian vanilla crème brûleé or vanilla Haagen Dazs with fresh berries. It’s a great deal for some delicious food (see slideshow for tempting photos!).

As a side note, this most recent visit to The New Yorker involved a group of 10 business women gathering for a baby shower. We were seated in one of the beautiful private dining rooms and given excellent service by our server, Andy. In addition to needing separate checks and accommodating special orders, Andy was also subjected to some very graphic conversations about pregnancy, surgeries and gynocologists. Besides an occasional lifted eyebrow or jaw drop, he was an excellent sport and met our every whim with a smile. I’m happy to say that most of my visits to The New Yorker have been with large parties and they are one of the most accommodating restaurants for this. Thank you!
