The food was very disappointing. I had the pork schneitzel, and it was overcooked and tasted off. The spaetzle was cold. The dish was inedible for me. My dining partners seemed to be satisfied. Food was too heavy for me, and I do love to eat. The service and drinks were excellent, but upon leaving we all agreed we would not return.

Adelle’s is charming in its own way, with good home cooked style food. It is a touch on the pricey side, especially for the alcoholic beverages. I ordered a Kahlúa and coffee at the bar and it was $15. My martini was $17, which I would expect to pay at an upscale restaurant, but a little much for an aging local place like this. The service was outstanding. Ask for Phil. He made the evening pleasant and was attentive and fun. We went there for my friends birthday. It would’ve been nice if they’d provided a dessert or something to make it special. That was our only disappointment. Overall, I’m glad we went, but I’m not sure that I would rush back.

My only criticism of Adelle’s is the lack of menu choices and the quality of my cocktail. The service was fantastic, the food we did have was good, although if you want anything to go along with your food you have to order it separately….ie no bread with your soup! My overall impression is the appearance of fine dining, but not quite all the way there. I’m not sure why they put brown paper tablecloths over the fabric tablecloth.

We chose to Adelle's because we wanted a quieter atmosphere than at many restaurants these days. We didn't want to have to yell and strain to hear each other, and Adelle's is great for that! The food is reliably good, with options for GF and DF. And they didn't rush us out, but allowed us to linger over dessert and chat.

Probably my fault for not completely reading the menu, I was sold on the tagliatelle Bolognese, because I love a good Bolognese and the fact they use homemade fresh pasta. However the Bolognese sauce had lots of cream add it it and in my opinion took away from the “ meat sauce “ that really wasn’t that meaty. My wife’s Salmon and our friends Whitefish were quite good so the food still gets 4 stars. I personally wouldn’t order the Bolognese again.

Adelle's is by far at the top of the list for a night out. Although the weather was a bit chilly, we have dined on their patio multiple times. Tonight however, we were nestled in their bar right next their fireplace. We started with one of their flatbreads. Nicely crisp and very flavorful. My date had their current salmon preparation and loved how the lemon butter gave a brightness to the dish. I on the other hand had the pork chop. Such a generous portion! I loved how it still had the bone attached, my favorite part. Such a good flavor of apples. For dessert we wanted something light, and our server recommended the chocolate tart...and they were absolutely right. The crust was light and the filling amazing! The caramel drizzle A+. Definitely our #1 spot in Wheaton.

Without fail, the scratch kitchen at Adelle's combines seasonal freshness with creative - yet accessible - menu choices. With a nod to Octoberfest and a tasty reach into Fall's acorn squash harvest, there were dishes enabling diners to try something new or just a new twist on an old favorite - the whitefish preparation as an example. Simply put, fine dining without pretension but with an eye to pleasing both the eye and the palate make Adelle's the "go to" western suburban diners' choice.

I am an Adelles fan! 10/6 Friday was excellant, Place was full, noise level was great, Live Accustic Guitar ( Peralta) was perfect, we were able to have conversation while listening to favorites from 60s-70s. Menu at Adelle's is always inventive. I had the Tuna Poke and Risotto. Service at Adellles is perfect, staff is very attentive without being interuptive. Herman, the bartender makes my martini just the way I like, I only have to catch his eye to get my date's wine and my drink replenished. ETW

Wonderful dining experience all around. The food is flavorful, plentiful, and fairly priced. Ditto for the cocktails! Service is well above par in all respects. Adelle's has certainly earned its place on my short list of exceptional local restaurants. And, it is versatile, fitting for a casual night out or a formal occasion. The variety of food and beverage options makes this possible.

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.
