    This was my second time visiting Adler for brunch and I had another great experience. Food was on point in terms of taste , presentation and proportion. The server that I had by the name of Victoria was legit , she was personable, approachable and very knowledgable when I asked about the menu and her suggestion. Well def be back and hopefully Victoria will be my server again.

    Dined with a friend, and enjoyed their version of Winterlicious Menu. Food was perfectly prepared, plated and served. Service was attentive and unhurried; our server and those supporting her were exceptional. Restaurant was busy, yet comfortably relaxed. We enjoyed every moment. Looking forward to returning. It’s a beautiful space to enjoy a meal.

    Winterlicious 2025. Semi-hidden restaurant on the second floor. Ambience is excellent - it’s modern but warm with comfortable touches like their couch seating that spans much of the northern perimeter. Regular menu is small and easy to choose from, wine selection offers plenty of choice. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. We had two servers and both were very friendly and attentive. Glasses were kept full of water which I appreciated. Food- I’ll start by saying it’s a 4 course winterlicious meal. There was a lot of food between the dips, mezze , main and dessert. I believe a floor manager or host recommended the Truffle Rakakat (spelling*) for the mezze portion. Not that the other food wasn’t great but, man oh man, the Rakakat was VERY good. If you like cheese, it’s a levelled up mozzarella stick. Mains were lamb and skewer plates. Both great and there was plenty of food, no skimping here! All in all, it was a great winterlicious experience here. Makes me want to come back for the regular service menu.
