    Adalina is a beautiful, classy-looking restaurant. Our server Michael was exceptional, very attentive and helpful. The food was excellent. The octopus was cooked perfectly, lightly charred and very tender. The almond ricotta cake was absolutely delicious. We loved our dinner here!

    Our Christmas Eve dinner at Prime & Provisions was absolutely unforgettable! The food was phenomenal, but what truly made the evening exceptional was our server, Nate. From the moment we sat down, Nate made us feel welcome and taken care of with his warm personality and impeccable attention to detail. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and gave fantastic recommendations that turned our meal into a truly elevated experience. The holiday ambiance was perfect, and Nate’s professionalism and charm made it all the more special. Thank you, Nate, for making our Christmas Eve dinner so memorable! We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for you next time!
