   Adele’s has a pretty cool open industrial vibe. I went with my wife and 4 daughters. We were super excited about the menu. We all ordered mocktails. They were all pretty good, not great; but, refreshing. We then had appetizers. Bone Marrow was very good; but, the salad we shared was excellent (not the kale salad), it was the highlight of the night. My kids loved the meatballs. The cornbread looked great but was dry and “meh”. But overall it was a great start. We then ordered ALL of the sides to share, 2 chicken dinners and 2 gnocchi dinners to share…my girls are 10, 12, 17 and 19 collectively weighing just over 300 lbs…there is only so much food I can force on them. Now, this is the turn for the worse. First, our server, mandated we order everything together to course us out and manage timing….this is never good. The mains and sides came out after a fairly long wait, maybe 30-40 min. Worse, it wasn’t because the kitchen was behind, it’s because nobody ran the food. Everything came out between warm and cold. All of it was “meh”. Chicken had no flavor. Gnocchi was just not good, the flavor profile was off putting. Collards and potatoes were best if the 4, mushrooms weren’t worth ordering. I probably would not have minded a 2 hour dinner with my family; but, the table we were at had the hot hVAC vent blowing in my face. My wife and I were so uncomfortable. I think our server got sat in other parts of the restaurant and maybe forgot about us. It took what felt like a while to find him and pay. To sum, the menu is great, the execution is a 6/10 and the service started strong but finished weak. For $500 I’d likely try many other places for returning because the value just isn’t there.

   The steak was phenomenal - chefs recommendation. Travis was my server - Guy had great energy and knowledge over the menu. Best server I’ve had in years!

   The Kale salad is to die for. They also have a dill dip with a lemon peel; get that on top of kale salad-a little close a long way!! Did not enjoy the price $35 not including drinks especially non alcoholic…our total meal plus tax was $77. They do accommodate parking, so take a photo of your license plate to show to the host. They do not open till 10am, so plan accordingly if you are an early bird. Their blueberry pancakes were good with the honey butter, but pancakes taste like they were made with cornmeal. Their cheese grits look like quinoa paste, not much taste. It is buffet, so you can go more than one time. Their buttermilk biscuits are cut in half and too die for just like the kale salad; nothing needed, you can literally eat them as is….the cooks knew what they were doing. I do enjoy the fact they have a compost, so no food is wasted as it goes straight back to the farm where they get their ingredients, so I do enjoy that they are suppling from a local farm. Overall, I would encourage large parties to go for celebrations as it is buffet; one price fits all.

   Everything was great. A little chilly sitting by the windows on the lower level.

    Dinner at Adele’s was underwhelming. The meatball appetizer did not have enough sauce (we asked for more) and was too peppery. The signature cornbread was very dry and we sent it back. The Kale salad was excellent with a delicious dressing. The gnocchi were like Lincoln logs. The pork rib eye was delicious with a fantastic mushroom sauce

    Hi Ward, We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the kale salad and the pork rib eye with the mushroom sauce. We're also sorry to hear that some of the other dishes didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll certainly pass along your feedback about the meatballs and cornbread to our kitchen team so we can address those issues. It’s always helpful to know where we can improve. We truly appreciate your constructive comments and hope you might give us another chance in the future to provide a better experience. Thank you for dining with us!
