    This is my trash can. This is the turkey burger I usually order. They changed the recipe to a flavorless turkey burger with black beans. Yuck. I rather lick my dog's feet. At least they smell like Fritos (which are delish).

    Turkey club
    Lauren M.

    Decided to come here with coworkers for lunch after passing it everyday on my daily walk in the tunnels. It always looks packed so I felt it must be decent! And I was right. This place is really good. I love how nice it is decorated and the chairs are padded. The service is really good too. I really appreciated the full service for being downtown and in the tunnels. I had the turkey club which was really big and delicious with sweet potato fries. I think it was around $15 for this plate and I had the leftovers for lunch the next day. I'll be back!

    Fish tacos

    One of the best nice casual full service spots downtown. In the tunnel but has natural light, full bar, pleasant ambiance and really good food for breakfast and lunch. So glad Adair opened a downtown location. I go regularly for lunch and typically easy seating or a tiny wait. Service is always professional and on point. Very efficient but not rushed. Today I took two guests and everyone had my usual, fish tacos. They are great! You choose your own side and I love either the sweet potato fries or asparagus. Love the artichoke soup and power bowl too. Also a fan of their ice tea.

    A group of coworkers and I are very new to downtown working. Downside - commute, upside - shiiiit all these restaurants! We were walking around the tunnels and happened upon Adair. It's in the Wells Fargo Plaza tunnel and is a cute sit down spot. It also has a quick to go section if you're on the move. I decided to go with the Blackened Shrimp & Goat Cheese Salad. I really enjoyed the meal, it was light and since carbs don't work well for me, walking back to my tunnel wasn't a chore. The only thing I didn't like was the salad came dressed. I'd request on the side if I get their salads again. They also offer bottled 20 oz for soft drinks...I wasn't expecting the 3.50/4 price tag but I guess girl! My coworkers ordered fish tacos and Prime Rib French Dip and had no complaints. The service was spectacular. Hispanic gentleman, I wanna say he said his name was Mike but I've been eating out so damn much, I might be wrong. He was funny, super helpful and friendly and when I told him I'm a foodie, we all started discussing good seafood and bbq restaurants in the city to try. Now I was trying to take my whole team back and couldn't find a way to reserve a table. Idk if you can through phone but when we got there, everybody and their mama and mama's mama was trying to eat. It was a rainy day with packed tunnels. Restaurant is rather small so party of 6 was estimated over 30 min wait. Lesson learned...

    I was in town for the work week. My coworker suggested this place for efficient and good service as well as healthy food which is in short supply in work catered events. I started with a bowl of lemon artichoke soup. It was delicious with a light lemon flavor. Then I had the blackened goat cheese salad. It was delicious with pink in seeds and a light dressing. I highly recommend this place! The server was friendly and service was great! Window design makes for natural light.

    Went here on a corporate lunch with my team, as it's located in the middle of downtown. The ambiance gives french cafe vibes and there is a Adair cafe located right outside for a quick drink to-go. The food here is always super fresh and the food is one of the top options in downtown. The fries have a nice crunch, and the burger is moist paired with the buns. The service is questionable to say the least. They need to hire more employees to keep up with the lunch rush. Our whole team had empty glasses that needed to be refilled (which were never refilled). Additionally, it took quite a while for us to even place our order. Overall, Adair is a solid 4.5/5 and would visit more frequently if the service was better.

    Located underground beneath the Wells Fargo/PWC tower. It looks like a solid power lunch spot with a modern and clean interior that is located in a pretty good spot; downtown wise. We've come by for drinks and for breakfast; Pros: convenient tunnel access, modern interior Cons: Food is pretty average/ non extraordinary, service is very slow. Overall, there are much better and much less desirable breakfast spots. It's convenient in terms of tunnel access but I wouldn't recommend it for the food alone. Coming by with a group for a drinks would be the ideal spot.

    Lemon ice box pie.  Yum!
    Patti P.

    We decided to go in the downtown tunnels on Friday afternoon, and not get lost.. lol. So we entered the tunnels at the Wells Fargo building. After wandering around awhile, we decided to have a snack at Adair Kitchen. We sat at the bar, and all ordered the lemon ice box pie. I also ordered a lemon drop martini, which competed with my lemon dessert. Both were very good, and we enjoyed talking to people who work there, a very nice Russian lady and a German lady: The restaurant is very clean and attractive. Give it a try.. they're not only in the tunnel; they have other locations.

When I questioned it, I was told to talk it up with the manager...only for no one to claim that role and the situation be treated as entertainment rather than service. At that point, it stops being "dive bar personality" and starts reading as a lack of basic standards. I paid, I tipped, and now following through. If youre in the market for unfinished pours, full foam, and a philosophical approach to management, this is your place. If you actually want a proper Guinness, I'd suggest continuing your search.

My friend tried to walk away and get into the elevator, but the employee followed her inside and cornered her. Instead of removing the employee or de-escalating, security blocked the rest of us from entering the elevator while our friend was being confronted. The employee tried to claim that my friend was "trespassing" which made no sense because we were all leaving. We repeatedly explained that we were only trying to get our friend out of the situation, but security did nothing to help. The employee continued following my friend even after she left the elevator. Like I said, disrespectful, aggressive staff and security that seemed completely clueless about how to handle the situation.

To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.
