Great well-crafted food, friendly knowledgeable service

The Adair restaurant itself is very nice. Now I'm going to be honest & a little critical. We were here last just after Columbus Day weekend the weekend after. It's only just pretty much gone for that part. The food then was considerably better than it was this time they have a new chef now and I think he's still as they say cutting his teeth. Richard had hope for the osso bucco and they ran out which well that can happen so you just deal with it. We both started with the seafood chowder this was excellent this to me was the best thing of the entire meal. Lots of seafood mostly fish. Great flavor brothy rather than way too much cream. Chowders over the last 30 or 40 years have become a different animal compared to what they used to be. Most places are so thick you could stand a spoon up in it and that's because they use way too much Roux. A lot of room is a good way of hiding the fact you actually don't have much seafood in the chowder. You put in whatever seafood base, a tiny bit of seafood and then a lot of roux & a lot of cream. Not the way it should be. But at Adair the restaurant chowder was excellent. The way a chowder should be. We then split the house salad which was really good very fresh just the right amount of dressing really tasty. For our mains I had the salmon which came with a pesto rice. I'm not a big fan of rice anyway but you know that's what was included with the meal. The salmon was good A little overcooked, which I'm generally okay with. It definitely could have used a little bit more of a sauce on top. No Richard ordered the pork ribeye. Now people need to understand this is not a ribeye like you get with a steak this is basically a loin chop. It can be done either bone in or no bone this was no bone. The meat was good, but needed more sauce. I recommend a chutney. Desserts were okay but not over the top. I think they just need to fine-tune things a little bit.

Amazing food and service. We will definitely be back.

The food was amazing! The ambiance charming. This is a special place all around
