"Decent food. Decent piano player. The Gorgonzola and onion strings dripped off the filet, rather than staying on it. Filet was a bit stingy. Nothing to keep me from going back, but other than the rather rare live piano, nothing to make it stand out either."

"The atmosphere and piano player were a lot of fun. We waited quite a while at our table before anyone acknowledged us. The food was alright. I had scallops that were gritty and the risotto lacked flavor. My husband's meal was better, but it must not have made enough of an impression for me to remember what it was. In all fairness, we did not have any of the prime grade steaks."

"Loved the place. Music was really enjoyable. Food was very good. Martini's very good. People were very nice. Only mild complaint was table wait service was a little slow. All in all we enjoyed it and will be going back."

"A daughter's 10th anniversary, with her 8-yr.old daughter was a night to remember. A Prom crowd along with other diners and the piano bar were on hand. But the food, service and attention covered any of the other activities. Adam's is a pure delight! If you haven't been there, you are missing a lot."

"Dinner, 7:30pm, Friday; not crowded . Nice & upscale, but comfortable, not stuffy. Piano bar is nice; if you want conversation don't sit near piano. Food and wine were excellent. I had spinach salad (very fresh) and gorgonzola crusted filet mignon (cooked exactly as requested, very tender, and delicious); my wife had the deep-fried lobster (don't miss this) and NY Strip (cooked exactly as requested with tons of flavor); my wife normally eats about half the serving, but this time she ate the whole thing. We split a chocolate mousse; good but not the quality of the best I have had. Wine list not extensive, but some good choices; we had Stags Leap - excellent. Service was excellent, attentive, handled all of our requests! Will go back!!!"

"Adams was a perfect saturday night experience for me and my fiance' and four of our dearest friends. i am from new orleans so i have a VERY HIGH standard for fine dining. The food at Adams is outstanding. don't miss the she-crab soup, oysters rockafeller, or the gorgonzola filet. the owner and his wife were there and made a point to engage with the patrons. the piano bar is fun. the wait staff was nice. the only negative is the bar service is a bit slow. i would highly recommend it."

"Our first visit was for our Valentine's Day date. We were impressed with the food prices-they were lower than expected for the menu quality. However, the drink prices were very high and they did not offer any lower, more moderately priced wines. The drinks at the bar were excellent, but again, pricey.

The piano bar was not quite what we expected. Though quite good, we would have preferred more purely instrumental music rather than the vocal additions of pop songs thru the ages. We were really hoping for more of a jazz piano type venue for relaxing background music for a date night.

We will likely go again in the future for evening drinks and fun now that we know what to expect, but not for a romantic evening."

"Adams fits the Buford scene. Live piano makes for a nice backdrop. If its just 2 of you eat at the bar or better have drinks at the piano. Nice menu selections and often the chef will prepare combinations you don't see. Soups are superb."
