"My family and I have been going to Hampton Winds for years. It’s always been our go to for a nice formal evening out, but over the last year or two it’s lost something. On this recent visit, we wanted to leave after 15 mins. The menu was not as varied and they didn’t have most of the items on the menu. There was no music playing which left the atmosphere silent at times. We had to request bread, when our appetizers arrived, we had to request drinks when the waitress forgot to bring them after 20 mins. The bread was hard and had no taste. The appetizers were bland and small portioned. As where the soups and salads. The entrees were good but by this time, we just wanted to leave. We asked for our desserts to go! I realize Hampton Winds is a teaching restaurant and in their defense it was the last day of serving before a 3 week break, but it was still a bad experience for myself and the family. We’ve learned to not go to Hampton on the first and the last day of service. I think, to improve...they need to bring back having low playing music, add table side cooking again, keep the kids in the back...or at least hire professionals to work with the kids in the front so things are not forgotten and service is flowing well, bring back a variety of menu options....guacamole and Brussel sprouts will not cut it for fine dinning! Make sure you have enough food for even the last day of service. The dessert cart being bought to the table with samples of the nights desserts was a treat and a great way to end the evening, bring that back! I want to continue to support the school and the kids but I think I’ll let some time go by before I go back! A lot of changes need to be made!"See more

"This was a return visit to Adagio. It was a much better experience than our last visit. Upon arrival, the staff was setting up for a private party of at least 20 people celebrating what looked like a birthday event. DW and I waited in the entrance to be noticed and seated. It only took a few moments. Drinks were ordered and delivered. We made our dinner choices and the rest of the evening went very well. Rolls, salads, and mains were all back to the quality we had known for so long. We will return again."See more

"My partner and I enjoyed our dinner here. Some of the positives were the food and service. The portions were well beyond what you may think a "fine dining" place would serve. The wedge salad is definitely something to share!! My Chilean sea bass was super delicate, and my partner's Paella was overflowing with fish, not all rice. There were some things that could use improvement. Unless you sit "in the back", you are subject to being squished on a long bench sitting area, and having people parade by as they walk to said "back" dining room. Dress code was not enforced - people showed up in too-short jean shorts or cut offs. And I hate to sound like a snob, but this is billed as fine dining - get a babysitter for your rambunctious screaming toddler. This was an overall lovely experience and we will be back for more, keeping in mind to specifically request the back dining area."See more
