    We’ve been dining at Adelle’s for years. The food and service never disappoint. We decided to eat in the bar area in the back room. It was a great spot for the four of us. We highly recommend dining at Adelle’s. The restaurant is beautiful!

    As an Italian this is one of the very few Italian restaurants I trust with my favorites! My veal piccata was delicious and the burrata and bruschetta appetizers were perfect. I can’t wait to come back this summer for stuffed squash blossoms! Thanks for being delicious as always!

    I brought my boyfriend to Cooper’s Hawk for his birthday dinner tonight and we had the best experience. 11/10. Could not have been more perfect. Our server was amazing and so sweet. It meant so much that everyone (hostesses, servers, food runners) payed attention to my reservation notes about his birthday and addressed him by name, such a special time. The food and drinks were also delicious, as usual!
