The 4 of us shared 4 small plates as an appetizer and then each ordered a large plate for dinner. The food was excellent - well seasoned and different from run of the mill at other restaurants. We'll be back!

I hope this restaurant lasts forever. The food is special in that it's innovative and REALLY good! The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. The interior decor is not ornate but attractive. Dinner last night was very good but unfortunately we were seated next to a table of very loud individuals. This is not the restaurant's fault but is very annoying. We had the scallop and milk bread....I think I could live on this, the gnocchi which are incredibly light and tasty, the capacity which was a special and boy was it special and the veal. Veal was good but not 5he standout the rest of the meal was. Cocktails were innovative and the wine list is small but good. Highly recommend this place if you are willing to try big city style gourmet eating. People looking for large portions with mediocre taste should stay away.

Very nice dining experience. I like the small plate/ tapas style dining. Restaurant is in a central location on Hillview, easy top park. Great service. Nice drink selection. Will visit again. Have the banana ice cream dessert!

One of the finest dining establishments in Sarasota. The food is so unique and eclectic! Every time we go we are amazed with the food. Our waitress, Bethany was knowledgeable and efficient. Sure, it's pricey but the ingredients and efforts that go into making every dish delivers some of the best dining value in Sarasota.

Wow. I was knocked out. The menu seemed difficult and we had a few dishes that I might not order again, but most of what I had for dinner tonight was amazingly delicious. Everything was creative and cooked to perfection. Bethany was a lovely server and all in all I was very impressed and will definitely be going back.

We had a very enjoyable evening. Strongly suggest the octopus, cold noodles and raw scallops. The schnitzel was very dry and needed a great sauce. Food was creative and delicious. We would highly recommend Adeline’s.
