Adalina

I went here for restaurant week and I enjoyed the experience. The service from all of the staff members was great and welcoming. Each course was perfectly timed and the drink was tasty and well-crafted. The food was delicious, but the star of the show for me was the beet salad, I loved every bit of that dish. My only critique was the ice cream sandwich. It was my least favorite and a little underwhelming compared to the other dishes and difficult to eat with the spoon that was given to us, but overall it was a nice lively aesthetically pleasing spot.

Ordered Cesar salad& meatball as appetizers, and ravioli & Calamari as the main dish. Calamari was bland & barely fried. But everything else was delicious. Made reservations, service was still extremely busy but all employees were pleasant.

Beautiful restaurant, great location and interesting menu. We didn't know what to expect coming for brunch. Prosciutto Board-there is no actual board but it is sliced table side. The Prosciutto was good. I liked that it wasn't salty too. Gnocchi-tasty Carbonara-rich, a little on the salty side with the pork bits in it. They say it's prepared table side but they basically toss it at the table. Service was attentive and helpful. It was hard to gauge this restaurant because the brunch menu was OK, dinner maybe a better option.

Adalina is a 10/10 Chicago restaurant - the food and service is amazing, interior decor is beautiful. Beet crudo was unique and delicious. The short rib and polenta was chef’s kiss - so tender and braised for 6 hours. Scallops were fresh and perfectly cooked. The waiter suggested a fantastic wine pairing (Villebois Sancerre) and non alcoholic cocktail (Spice of Life). Finishing it all off with a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. Only thing not 10/10 would be the loud noise level and tables were too close together making it hard to block out neighboring conversations. I would definitely come back again.

Adalina is a lovely choice if you're looking for a place with great vibes and friendly service. However, I found myself wishing for a bit more when it came to the food and drink selection. Given the price point and the other fantastic dining options in Chicago, I felt a touch disappointed with the quality of the dishes. Some of the drinks didn’t quite hit the right balance, and a few plates seemed to miss the mark on flavor. I hope they can elevate their menu, as I genuinely believe they have the potential to shine. If you decide to try them, I’d love to share a few dishes that I think you might enjoy! While they may not be super exciting, they’re some of the better options on the menu. I loved the Truffle Caesar (with extra truffle!) as a sharable, and the mousse cake paired with a mezcal espresso martini was a delightful treat.

The food was great, their Cesar salad is so simple yet it’s elevated. We got the fritto for an appetizer which was great and then shared some pasta, she got the filet and I got the A5 waygu. It was really good but I was expecting a larger cut for $135. Drinks were really good though. I had the old fashioned, she had the gold digger.

We were warmly greeted. The service is exceptional from start to finish. The wine list is extensive so plan to enjoy more than one selection. Our group of five shared numerous appetizers and entrees. All were delicious. The octopus was a favorite. The attention to detail on presentation was remarkable. Try any of the pastas and try not to overlook the chicken!
