My husband and I are big foodies and enjoy a nice night out for a nice dinner. It had been several years since we had bee to Adelle’s, so we decided to re-visit. We sat outdoors on Friday night and thought it was a nice space, but was pretty disappointed with the meal. We started off with the deviled eggs which turned out to be too salty. The mussels were so pewny that it wasn’t worth the effort to dig out of the shell. The watermelon salad was good and fresh. The short rib bucatini was extremely overpriced considering h lack of short rib in the dish. Our server, Julie was very nice and helpful. Don’t think we’ll be returning.

Have been coming to Adeles since their old location. This time it wasn’t as good. Menu was okay but liked their traditional offerings when it comes to sides. Waiter was nice and helpful. Just not real fun. More formal. Prices for wine have gone up dramatically.

The salmon and scallop dinners and tempura green bean appetizer were good but expensive. The 2 glasses of wine I had tasted old and were warmer than usual. The service was okay. We had 3 different servers during our 90 minute meal, which was strange. Overall, it was an average dinner experience, and I'm not sure I'd go back.

What a great experience! We started with the Calamari and the red pepper aioli which was to die for! Watermelon and tomato salad with herbs is so summery(yum). Salmon was great and the sword fish with ratatouille was yummy. Next time we are visiting the area we will be back! Love Love Love

Ambiance was great. Outdoor seating was gorgeous. Inside looked great but we didn’t spend much time there. Cocktails were fantastic and tasty. Service was good just a little odd. Food was pretty meh. Tough to justify the prices on the menu when the food doesn’t impress.

Still outstanding after 20 years in business. Service is excellent; most have been with Adelle's for many years. Menu changes daily and there is a great variety to choose from. We've never had a bad dish at Adelle's and have been regular diners for many years. Ample parking. Highly recommend for a private event. We have had our parents' 50th anniversary here a few years back and also attended a birthday event for a friend.

The gold standard for local restaurants! We tried the BBQ Chicken Flatbread to start and were wowed. A real palate pleaser with balanced combo of savory and sweet flavors on top of a crisp crust. May come back just for flatbread and a craft beer after work next week (location is steps away from the Wheaton Metra--FYI lots of free, no hassle parking). The entrees were amazing as well, generous portions, not ala carte, and obviously made with high quality ingredients. Thus, I consider the prices to be more than fair. The salmon and short rib stroganoff are must tries. The service was excellent: attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. Ambiance is charming. Best place in Wheaton for sure.

Our first visit to Adelle's. The patio setting was very nice, open air but shielded and covered. The service was very good and very helpful in deciding between two entrees that I was interested in. The beverage selections were very good. The entree that I had was the short rib stroganoff, with bucatini pasta, mushrooms and créme fraiche, which was very good. My wife had the pork tenderloin with brussel sprouts, creamy grits and green apple chimichurri, which she really enjoyed. The dessert was a strawberry/rhubarb galette with vanilla gelato, wow, that was a great finish to a great dinner. There is fairly good parking. A neighborhood road is just outside of the patio but any traffic is hardly noticeable. The glass artwork is made by the owner, these pieces of artwork are thoughtfully placed throughout the restaurant and the patio. We look forward to dining again at Adelle's.

Pork tenderloin was fabulous. The Whitefish was supposed to have Kalamata olives, but came with green olives. Apparently they ran out, but didn't tell us. Definitely a communication issue in the kitchen, The server was very apologetic & helpful in trying to fix the problem, She even brought some Kalamatas from the charcuterie plate. Not quite the same, but we appreciated the effort. Even the manager came over to try to help. Winter in Jalisco & the Whiskey Acres Old Fashion cocktails were excellent as was the octopus appetizer.

Dined outdoors-what a beautiful space. As always, great food and service. Shared delish octopus. My watermelon salad and pork belly tacos were fab. Hubby had the rigatoni, ate every bite. Freshest, best dishes in Wheaton! It was quiet (both noise level and not too many tables). We love eating at Adelle's and another Wheaton restaurant that has a rooftop space. Really can't understand why anyone would rather dine under that loud obnoxious street tent?
