"When Adele’s opened about a decade ago, it was the hot ticket in town. Possibly because they made a roast chicken that would taunt and tantalize your dreams for days. While the food is as good as it’s ever been, Adele’s has relaxed into "Nice Neighborhood Restaurant" territory. Making a reservation is always a good idea, but chances are good that you’ll be able to pop in and find a seat on a weeknight. What Adele’s really excels at is its all-you-can-eat weekend brunch. For $35 per person, you can fill up at various stations with some pretty fantastic salads, biscuits, and hearty mains like whole-roasted fish and roasted pork that don’t taste dried out like other heat lamp victims." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
