    We tried this place for the first time on Christmas Eve and it was such a great experience. The service was amazing; everyone was really friendly and our server James was excellent! Now to the drinks and food. The espresso martini? The best! Every dish we ordered was perfect and so full of flavor. We loved the French onion soup and short rib.

    We have been to Adele‘s several times. This time we were celebrating two birthdays. The appetizers and main dishes were all excellent. Callouts to the cornbread and smoked duck leg. We all had drinks and the bartenders did a truly professional job as always. The budino dessert is absolutely worth the certain inch it adds to your waist line.  Overall, kudos to Adele‘s for their maintenance of quality through the years. We will definitely be back!
