Reviews
This is an excellent new steakhouse, with an amazing atmosphere and great decor. The staff was personable. The food was excellent, we loved the different steaks we had, and the salt options really were a nice touch. The miso camel apple pie was to die for! They had crayons for our toddler, and it was easy to find things for him (steak and fries) as well. Great wine selection too.
I really enjoyed the dining experience at this place. The atmosphere was great. The service and attention to detail details were on point. I ordered the New York strip, and it was fantastic! The appetizers were also good. The beet salad is highly recommended. Their dessert is also good, enjoyed the ice cream! I’m definitely coming back, to try the outdoor patio. This is a great spot for a date or a birthday event.
I tried Adalina Prime for happy hour after a friend recommended it, and overall it was a great experience. We were seated quickly in the lounge area, which had such a beautiful atmosphere. If aesthetics are your thing, you’ll definitely love the interior, and they also have a really nice outdoor patio that would be perfect on a warmer day. The mocktails were honestly one of the highlights for me, I ordered the Purple Rain and the Almond Citrus Fizz, and both were so good (even though they weren’t part of the happy hour menu). From happy hour, we tried the truffle fries and steak sliders. I also wanted to try the wagyu grilled cheese, but unfortunately they were sold out. They do offer valet parking, otherwise parking is paid street parking nearby. We spent around $50 per person during happy hour, but I can definitely see the total going up quickly if you order from the regular dinner menu.
First time to Adelina prime was great! For starters we had. A beet salad with with peaches and goat cheese. My wife enjoys beets, she said was good. We had the avocado ceviche it was also good. We shared a 32oz tomahawk with our son. The steak was fabulous! For sides, we did the roasted mushrooms they were phenomenal! We also had the whipped potatoes, they were delicious as well. They offer a salt bar with your steak. That was a nice twist. Ambiance was chill , but yet still had a nice vibe. Overall I give Adalina prime a 4.7.
My fiancè & I went to Adalina Prime for the first time yesterday. Since the second we walked in, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Our server, Jimmy, gave us the best service we've honestly ever had. He went over the entire menu with us & gave us great recommendations. He was very personable & professional, but also gave us some amazing laughs. The food was SO good, everything we ordered had the best flavor. The steaks & the lobster cream corn were the stars of the show. The salt library they offer is such an amazing touch. I tried a handful of different ones, and each bite of steak tasted like a totally different amazing steak due to all the different salt flavors they offer. The sauce on the side add ons for the steaks were also very delicious. We finished the meal off with coconut strawberry swirl soft serve (we thought we were full already, but managed to finish the entire thing because it was so tasty lol). Overall, one of the best dining experiences in terms of food, service & atmosphere that we've ever had. Also amazingly priced for the quality of food & service that they offer (I've paid way more for way less at other places). I'd give 10 stars if I could. We will definitely be back soon!
