The bar is usually hopping when we've been here, with friends getting together at happy hour and enjoying live music. The menu has a range of options from casual to more fancy. Shrimp and chips was a good casual choice for me. The ahi tuna salad was also a hit, and chicken medallions with mushroom sauce was also well received. Service and ambiance were good, but the live music can be a bit loud if you're there early. read more

Everything was great! The filet Mignon and lobster tail were all I expected and the service was great as usual!

Amazing food and beautiful atmosphere! Came in for breakfast and came back for dinner two days later. Hidden gym within the Trilogy Monarch Dunes community. Highly recommend! PS-they also have their own wine with grapes from their own vineyard in the community and it's good! read more

We have been there many times with wonderful food & service. We have been there when there was only ONE waitress...no host/bar tender/ or bus boy. Still no complaints. Last time was quite unusual!! The nice host seated us. There was 1 waitress, 2 busboys, 1bartender. FIVE in all. 1 busboy gave us water. For over 15 minutes the waitress walked by us "numerous times" Never making eye contact. Finally bartender waited on us. All employees stared at us? but not one waited on us. The host finally asked if we had ordered or been waited on. He took all the blame. Is this normal behavior for a waitress that depends on tips. We sure wish there was an explanation for why we were treated in such a manner. read more

My major complaint was serving the meal on a white plate. The mashed potatoes and gravy was white, the cole slaw was mainly white. The only thing with any color was the fried chicken. For $20 for members ($25 for non members) you got everything you see in the photo. Unfortunately, the food was boring. It wasn't worth $20. Also, our server was more interested in the football game being shown on tv. read more

Always perfect at Adelina's. The service and their timing was spot on! Wonderful team. Great people watching. STEAK & SCAMPI 7 oz aged ribeye, white shrimp, poached garlic butter, white wine, fresh lemon juice, Italian parsley and roasted garlic mashed potatoes (French fries, baked potato, or rice pilaf also available). Paired with a big bold Cabernet. read more

Wish I had gone with my gut and existing help review and skipped this place. This is a golf course restaurant and being out of the area we didn't t realize that. Decided to give it a go but it was just ok. Seating was even odd with my back to huge windows and facing bar station and trash can. Retirement community vibe which was fine but wished the food was better. Clams and scampi was bland. I would suggest they try using garlic at the very least. Serviced was polite and followed the lead on the pace of dining we wanted. read more

Great atmosphere friendly vibe. Amazing food and great prices! Fun bar and great cocktails at a great price! Super friendly! read more

We had reservations for 8 for dinner. We brought wine which they opened but never poured. Just left it at our table and never ask us if we wanted it chilled. Then it was another 30 minutes before waiter came back to take our order. Once our dinner was delivered, it was so over cooked and cold. The waiter never returned to asked us how our meals were. Our waiter was so rude and less than friendly. It was the worst meal and experience we have had in a long time. read more

We keep giving Adelina's second and third chances, but they continue to disappoint. After four disastrous pizzas, tonight we ordered two Ahi salads to go. At home we opened the container with the Ahi and instantly knew something was wrong. The Ahi had a strong fishy smell. Clearly it was not fresh. The texture was very grainy. It is such a shame to have a restaurant just up the street that's so bad. We have to drive 6-10 miles to find decent food. read more

New review: Food and service are not only improved but the vibe is really great. Jennifer and Trevor have done an exceptional job of creating a menu that offers more variety and prices are reasonable. Service has improved 100%. Amazing what good management can do.. They now offer specials often that are very attractive. Keep up the ework! read more

Jennifer did an amazing job creating a beautiful table for our daughter's small wedding reception at the Market Place in Adelina's. The staff is always great and welcoming. Chef Renee did an awesome job at creating a delicious meal for each guest. Overall couldn't ask for a better evening for celebrating my daughter's special day. Thank you!!! Raylene M. read more

After our round of golf at Monarch Dunes, we enjoyed our dinner at Adelina's so much that we went there again the following evening! It was all possible due to Jennifer! She accommodated all eight of us for both evenings by seating us in either a private room or in a private location. The entire team was warm, efficient, and clearly dedicated to providing a great experience. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers! Our servers, Emily and Leo, went above and beyond, providing excellent recommendations and made us feel truly welcomed. They were both knowledgeable and made our experience memorable. The food was fantastic! Ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Needless to say, all plates were cleaned! We all highly recommend Adelina"s Bistro! read more

Delicious food. Good service. Fun staff, friendly. Manager always stops by the table to be sure everyone is happy and enjoying their meal.

Breakfast Friendly, crisp service. Delicious food. Try the San Francisco omelet. Very reasonable price read more

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and had a great time. The food was perfect. My chicken was tender and flawless. I don't rave about green beans but mine were the best I've had in forever. We had chocolate covered spomoni for desert and I could have licked the plate. The bill wasn't too bad either being half the price of what we spent at Beso last year! Ambience is nice but a little loud due to the high ceilings? I love the bar area as well. Well done, Adelina's. read more

I am a longtime Trilogy resident and dine at Adelina's regularly. Over the years, the restaurant has had some challenges with service and menu offerings, and many people drifted away. I'm thrilled to say that in the past few months, there's been a noticeable and very welcome turnaround. The service is consistently friendly, the menu finally offers a broad selection of delicious choices, and the management is approachable and eager to make guests feel welcome. Adelina's feels like a neighborhood restaurant again -- and I highly recommend giving it another try. read more

I want to start off by saying the food is great. This was my second time going to this restaurant, and the first time our waitress barely took our order and never came back to check on us or see if we needed anything to drink or anything. I was told to give it another try. I took my Mom today for a Mother's Day lunch. Well my luck, and we got the same waitress, her name is Emily. My advise if you get her ask for someone else. Again she took our order and never came back to our table to check on us. After 45 minutes I went to the Manager and asked her if she could get us some water and check on our food. Only then did Emily start to check on us and help us. Horrible service. I shouldn't of tipped, but that isn't my style. She needs to learn to pay more attention to All clients, and check on them. Only reason why I am giving this 3 stars is for the food and manager helping. Emily gets 0 stars for service. read more

Went here today for brunch. We got seated and no one came over to help us I had to stop a waitress to take our order. Took forever to get our coffee. When food came out my eggs were very slimy but couldn't get new ones because she never came back to check on us. I was very excited about trying this for the first time and it was very disappointing. read more

We haven't been here in sometime and decided to try it as we were passing by. I had a old-fashioned drink and it was great. I decided to try the salmon Wellington. Very different. You get quite a bit of salmon in a pastry puff with spinach. You get vegetables on the side and I picked a baked potato as another side. My husband had the sautéed seafood pasta. Said it was very good had scallops, shrimp, etc. We also asked for rolls and it was sourdough and excellent. We both had leftovers which is nice. Our server was Jacob and the girl that sat us was extremely friendly. They kept our water glasses filled as we were pretty thirsty. read more

Jennifer! Jennifer! Jennifer! You are absolutely the best!! Made everything enjoyable. Food was delicious. I was with 3 women and she made them all comfortable! I have a hard time with one. I had chicken Alfredo pasta and barely could finish it. The women ordered salmon Wellington and steak and scampi. Good menu if you're veggie as well. No wine list to speak of. Cocktails are first class. Happy hour can be fun but it's early and can get loud. Lots of friendly people but Jennifer makes it all happen!! Thank you!!! read more

We love eating here. Food is always delicious, service and atmosphere is on point. Delicious cocktails and a warm and comfortable space that always provides a wonderful experience. Dinner staff are excellent. read more

Do use this restaurant average twice week.At times servers are lacking what it takes .Now we try to have Jennifer has our to go person and our experience has been fabulous Great communicator and always upbeat read more

Pork chops were outstanding and service by Jacob was superb. Definitely will return for dinner very soon.

Always a great experience at Adelina's, food is excellent, so are the cocktails but the staff really make it a fun night out. Thank you Brooke, and Trevor for going the extra mile, we loved your recommendations and thank you for letting us hang out enjoying the atmosphere longer than we should have !! read more

Been more times than I can count and it's hit or miss depending on the night. It's a beautiful restaurant and venue but they just continue to struggle to hit the mark. Could be much better if given the chance with better leadership. read more

The service was excellent. Cece did a great job! And, one of the best decisions made by Adelina's Bistro was to hire Jennifer as the new restaurant manager....she a natural for the position and gifted with fantastic social skills that makes everyone feel welcomed. Also, kudos the person who made our pizza, we liked the thicker crust very much. read more

Just Amazing!!! We have enjoyed dinning here several times and it's been amazing each time. The service is amazing and the food is amazing. Oh my can't forget the Cocktails also amazing. We'll be back, just love this place. read more

Lunch today was delicious. Our server, Leo, was on time and attentive. Treavor, our new manager, was present overseeing all operations. Things were running smoothly and lots of people came for lunch. I would definitely recommend enjoying a meal at Adelina's. read more

Had lunch there today. Debating as to two or three stars. The view is *great.* The food was certainly good. The service overall, not very good. Cordial, but definitely left something "to be desired." Slow and inattentive! Our server never once during our meal asked how things were. (Is that not part of his/her job?) The restaurant just wasn't too busy to attend to that! Left a bigger tip than was properly deserved. Would I go back? Yes, hoping things to be better. read more

The food and service were both good. We had a nice view of the golf course and sunset. We enjoyed the cobb salad and fish & chips, as well as the Monarch Pino Noir. read more

Improvements Are Noticeable... Pros: Bigger menu. Refurbished dining room. Very good food. Reasonable prices. Friendly service. Cons: The lack of larger tables for diners who don't want to sit closed-in near the bar Star Ratings: - Overall: 4 - Food Taste: 4 - Food Portions: 4 - Location: 5 - Ambiance: 3 - Menu: 5 - Service: 5 - Price: 4 - Value: 4 - Parking: 5 There were many changes inside Adelina's since my last review in 2018 when I gave it 4 stars. The next few years were definitely worse. The menu shrunk ...then Covid...then a reopening with an even smaller menu, higher prices and an understaffed service corps. New management arrived in 2022 with promises of better choices and more non-meat options. We finally saw signs of improvement in March 2023 and the last 2 visits near the end of April confirmed our optimism. Since family was visiting for a few days, we had dinner on a Saturday night followed by breakfast from the adjacent Marketplace on Sunday (but the food is brought to your table in Adelina's). Both were fine. The 5 of us had the following for dinner: - 2 Bistro Side Salads ($8 each): Good size and taste for the price - Ahi Poke Nachos ($18): A highlight. Very fresh. Substantial. "No tendons". - Jumbo Prawn Cocktail ($16): 7 Good size prawns. Tasty, but slightly slimy. - 2 Sautéed Seafood Pasta with Marinara Sauce ($31): Excellent but could have used some shellfish - Sesame Brussel Sprouts ($12): Fine as usual - Swordfish ($35): A good size piece of fish. Not quite hot enough, but tasty. - Pepperoni Pizza ($18): "An 8 out of 10". Included the extra basil requested. Two of us started with cocktails: - Martini with Grey Goose Vodka ($18.50): Fine - Gin and Tonic with Bombay Gin ($11): Small with lots of ice We shared a bottle of Tolosa Sauvignon Blanc ($36) which paired well with the variety of dishes. The bill was $242.50 before tax, tip and a 10% discount for being a resident of the Trilogy development. The main room in Adelina's was refurbished and is brighter and lighter than before, but there are no tables for 5 or more people anywhere near the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the expansive view of the golf course. So were were resigned to a booth near the bar which is a bit claustrophobic. Service from Jazmine was great. She was very friendly, patient and always available to fulfill a request. A quick note on breakfast. The menu at the Marketplace was also expanded with a good selection of items for a morning meal (and at lunch for that matter). Seating is either near the counter (limited)...outside on 2 patios (very nice when the weather cooperates) or in Adelina's during breakfast. read more

My aunt lives at trilogy so we decided to come here for dinner tonight. The ambience is beautiful and the view is stunning. My aunt had the lamb, I had the salmon dish, and my daughter had the pizza, and my youngest had the kids pasta. Bella was our server and she was so incredibly kind. The good was quite good and I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Giving a three star review because the server was very nice. Otherwise, the experience was mediocre. Sat near the window and the sun was setting so it was blindingly bright in my eyes. Was told the shade were broken so they could not be brought down. After sitting for ten minutes, asked to be moved and the wait staff was very obliging. Unfortunately, it wasn't far enough back and the sun reached me after five minutes. Had to sit sideways until my meal was delivered. At 6:15, the shades suddenly came down and it was fine, so I'm assuming they were on a timer that no one was able to adjust. We came primarily for the prix fixe meal and unfortunately the highlight of it was the five layer chocolate cake, which I'm not sure is made in house. The scallops were in a thin white sauce that was sweet with no flavor. The rice pilaf was fine but nothing memorable. One person had the salmon Wellington, which was bland. She took it apart and saw the spinach but mushrooms were not apparent. Overall it was disappointing. Will stick to breakfast and lunch but will not be returning for dinner since there are other options locally that are tastier for the price. read more

Had a wonderful Valentine's dinner at Adelina's. Chef had a special selection for the occasion and I enjoyed the Scallops and linguine and my husband had the Osso Buco Beef. The dinner was delicious and dessert was a wonderful 5 layered chocolate cake! To top off the evening the ladies received a red rose. While the restaurant was very busy it was fully staffed and the service staff did a great job. read more

Fried Brussel sprouts with sweet sesame teriyaki sauce to balance out the bitterness of the vegetable was super yummy! However, as good as the Brussel sprouts were, the real winner is the Poke Nachos (FYI: There's no cheese)! Fresh flavorful, marinated tuna chunks on top of crispy light wonton skins, sprinkled with bits of sweet mango which balanced the sprinkle of microgreens. There was even a drizzle of wasabi mayo to give this dish a hint of an Asian kick with a faint resemblance to "the melted cheese" part of the nacho. This dish is simply genius to hit multiple flavor profiles and textures! Can't wait to eat this appetizer again!! read more

Very good food and a nice setting. The service was friendly and prompt. Nice wine selection, but we always bring our own as we have an extensive collection. The $20 corkage fee is reasonable. read more

We had three new dishes on the menu last night. Seafood brochettes, pork chops and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Our server, Brooke was efficient and always with a smile, as Jennifer, the floor manager, stops by to confirm everyone is happy and well taken care of :) read more

They need heart healthy options there is nothing on the menu for people with heart disease- the number 1 killer and most common illness in America. Other special diets don't have such critical relevance and other specialties have generous degree of flexibility-- but this place hardly has a garden salad and even then it oily fatty dressings. They need a fat and salt free dish with protein. Just one. read more
