    This establishment seems to be a well kept secret and has never let me down (maybe 15 times over the last 5-6 years). The food is excellent Americana, the service is professional but friendly, and the prices are fair. I am not a drinker so I cannot report on the wine list but I never have heard anything negative from my wife and friends.

    We ordered several dishes and shared. To start we had the bruschetta with pomegranate molasses and goat cheese and it was possibly my favorite thing all night. We had the cornbread which is a must have here. We shared the mixed green salad with pistachios and a vinaigrette dressing, delicious. My friend had the mahi mahi special over the celery puree and it was delicious and I ordered the roasted chicken with salsa verde which was cooked perfectly. The only thing I regret is not saving room for dessert. I would have liked to try the pumpkin panna cotta. This is the 5th time I have been to Adele’s in at least that many years. I have never had a bad meal here. You can count on great food with great ingredients EVERY time! The only reason we have not come here more is there are so many new places to try all the time but if you want to go somewhere where you know you will have a 5 star meal every time, you can count on Adele’s for that.
