   We were disappointed that the chef was not there as we booked the chefs counter and prepaid $85/person for this experience. As we brought our own wine our meal was less than the amount we prepaid and the restaurant was kind enough to refund the difference to my card. The food was good and the service as well. I just think they should drop the prepaid chefs counter as you feel like you are getting a real experience of seeing the chef and talking to him/her and that did not happen.

   This was our first time to dine at Adeline - three adults who love food. We were pleased with our server, Robert, who recommended wine selections and even gave me two to sample. That's always nice. Robert was knowledgeable about the menu and did help us decide one main entree was enough. The menu is designed to be small plates that are shared, although there are some entrees. We chose to start with raw scallops, sweet potato, spicy cold noodle, grilled romano beans. We savored each bite! The raw scallops were not our favorite, but that's just us. We had the roasted duck, bao bun main dish and shared it. We LOVED IT. We are excited to introduce some friends to Adeline.

   Adeline's is mostly Tapas. We were four people and we shared each plate amongst the four of us. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. We tried many different dishes, including raw scallop, octopus, beet salad, Japanese milk bread (excellent), spicy noodles, and some others. We will be back! Our server, Bethany, was wonderful. She changed our plates and utensils so we could appreciate the distinct flavors of each dish.

   Ate at chefs table … only patrons for early seating there. Perfect! Food was terrific, some new and different choices. Chef interacted with us, was conversational and interesting. A most enjoyable night.

   My girlfriends and I had a wonderful experience at Adeline last night! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back.

   Disappointed Sat at chefs table with non refundable deposit No interaction with chefs, just staring at kitchen. Looked forward to duck on menu and they ran out Even though it’s a regular item I was told since they are a small restaurant they don’t carry a lot. When I made reservation I mentioned it was our anniversary; there was no acknowledgement Special grilled lamb was well done had to send it back Said I wanted it medium rare Second time it came was cooked medium. Chef /owner was not there considering it was a Saturday night. No quality control. It put a damper on our anniversary celebration .

   So much to choose from and everything is well done. This small plate chef driven restaurant is consistently always great. Menu changes gives you a chance to try different tastes every time you come in. Service is always top notch especially when you get Bethany. Can’t miss with this Hillview spot.

    Food was pretty good 4/5. But the one thing I can’t seem to shake is that I specifically added that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Hostess didn’t acknowledge it. And our server said “happy anniversary” as he handed us our bill. Nothing was comped. Nothing was done by staff to even acknowledge our special day. That was a huge turn off especially from a fine dining establishment. We can go anywhere to celebrate and we chose Adeline. Huge let down.
