   Adalina is one of my favorite spots for dinner, but I won't be back for brunch. The experience was disappointing. The host stand seemed unorganized and overwhelmed. The event was not as advertised. The some of the dishes in the email that announced the December 15th brunch were not even on the menu. There were no live carolers, I didn't see a cannoli station, and there were no take-home cookies. It was a lot of over promising and under delivering. The staff also didn't seem trained on the brunch menu. The chips lacked the advertised salt and vinegar flavor and the breakfast sandwich was ok. Another guest in our party didn't like what he ordered off the lunch menu. The dinners I've had there have been wonderful but the brunch menu and service needs work.

   This was my first time dining at Adalina and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. All of the staff were so kind and welcoming. Special shout out to Roberto who went above and beyond to make our dining experience high class. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

   The food and service is outstanding! This is truly a creative take on Italian, but you still get the delicious flavors of traditional dishes.

   The food was great, but the table was too small. The polenta was a little too thin though.

   Food was good but not would you would expect for a $700 check, 5 star rating, etc. I had a filet and that was average at best. The fish dishes others ordered were good and appetizers were tasty but for the price and alleged 5 stars, it should have been better. The server was pushy and was annoyed if we were not selecting the highest priced items from the menu. When asking questions about the menu choices, he was quick to cut us off when talking and downplay our selections. When inquiring if they could not add pine nuts to the pasta dish due to my child not liking them he asked, “is this for an allergy?” When we told him “no, it’s just his pallet”, he responded, “well it’s time to change his pallet” and didn’t remove them. At that point, I rather have walked out with my family but endured the rest of the mediocre meal. **Additionally, be aware they add 3% surcharge which is mentioned on the very bottom of the menu in tiny print. I understand businesses making money and keeping up with their overhead but I believe they should tell you in person upon presenting the check.
