    The food was fantastic! Our server was great! Drinks were great! Ambience was great! Did I say great? Well I’m at a lost for words! We are constantly underwhelmed by Nashville’s food but this place was under the radar! It’s severely under rated! We were arguing about what to order because everything sounded so good and we ended up planning what to eat on our next visit! Thank you Adele Team!

    We came in with a party of 10 on the night of the CMAs. We were seated immediately and our server was outstanding. She had phenomenal menu knowledge and flawless recommendations throughout our meal (drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts). The ambiance seemed more like a casual neighborhood place and felt a little cold. Do not let that fool you!! The food was absolutely fantastic. Every element thoughtfully paired and prepared. We'll done!!
