    We were a party of 5, and enjoyed the “French night” menu specials. The scallops were cooked perfectly in a delicious light cream sauce; and the steak au poivre was delicious. Attentive and friendly service.

    Very quiet for a saturday Night. Bee was our server and was very attentive and friendly. We had a few special requests and she was very compliant. Food service was well paced and we did not feel rushed at all. We made a point of making this clear while ordering because we had heard some complaints about too quick service - i.e. main course arriving before salad course finished. Very pleasant setting and the sound level was refreshingly low compared to many places.

    This is the first time we've been at Adelina's for over 5 years. I was put off in the past by horrible service, long wait time for food, not to mention mediocre food when we finally got it - all in all - not worth the time or money. I was so pleasantly surprised with our meal last Sat. night. EVERYHTING was 100% better!! Will definitely go back and recommend to others. Our waitress was so nice and sweet - did a great job!!

    Going to Adelinas is always a treat. We were seated near the window and watched the western skies dimming. Our food was very good, and the ambience lovely. They were a little busy, so there was a short delay in getting some items but Rachel did a great job waiting on us. We will go back again.

    Very good meal good meal at a fair price, as usual. It would be nice to have some new items introduced into the menu, or have some weekly specials. Maybe rotate out some of the less popular items. Cassandra was our waitress, and even though she’s a recent addition to the wait staff, she did an excellent job and we appreciated her enthusiasm.

    The soup special last night was green chicken pozole. It was amazing, very hardy and spicy. I hope they have it more often and put on their web page when it will be offered. I would go there any night for dinner if I knew their pozole was the soup special, it was that good.

    I had not been to the restaurant on a Tuesday recently, so I was very surprised at the limited menu. Because I wasn’t aware of the special menu on Tuesdays, I was expecting something different and that led to disappointment on my part. My friend and I looked at the menu and left. The hostess and bartender I spoke to were both very kind, but the food was not at all what we were looking for that evening. There was literally nothing on the special menu that appealed to either of us and it was too expensive to sit here and order something we didn’t even want to eat. That said, I was in there with friends just four days earlier and we all loved our meals from the regular menu.

    We were disappointed to be notified by Open Table that this reservation was not eligible for dining points! Our overall experience was fantastic, great service & staff & delicious food. My spicy sausage & pepperoni pizza was enough to share, the mixed greens dinner salad was huge with a very tasty dressing. Two diners had seafood fettuccine which they loved & our fourth diner had the salmon & cleaned his plate. We were celebrating a 75th birthday & our lovely server, Bella brought out a wonderful lemon strawberry cake slice & a Spumoni Bomba, (chocolate covered ball of ice cream) that was amazing. Adelina’s is a lovely, intimate dining establishment with wonderful ambience & beautiful views of the ocean sunsets! Highly recommend this jewel of a restaurant!

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal at Adelina's last night. Every Tuesday, Chef Rene has a specialty themed menu on a rotating basis. Bistro by the Bay was last night with offerings ranging from crab cakes, fish tacos, shrimp scampi and grilled swordfish. We opted for the Shrimp Scampi in a light garlic, white wine and butter sauce with saffron rice and sauteed summer squash, as well as the Salmon Picatta served with Fettucini Alfredo. Again, the sauce was not too heavy and complimented the perfectly cooked fish. Finishing the meal, we indulged with a decadent Lemon Vanilla Shortcake. It was the perfect size for sharing and made a slightly tart and refreshing choice after seafood. The service is consistently friendly and efficient! We will be back to participate in one of the other themes - Mexican, Americana and Italian Nights!

    Since Chef Renee' and manager Bill took over operations, Adelina's has make significant progress out of COVID. Major improvements to the menu, service has improved, the bar is busy and people are back. There's a positive vibe and you can see and hear it; diners are having a good time and enjoying the experience. If you've not been back in the last 4 to 5 months, you should take the opportunity.
