Excellent ambience and incredible food. Highlights were the cornbread with truffle butter, the fennel salad, the meatballs appetizer, the trout entree, and the chocolate mousse dessert

Excellent! Defines the experience of dining at Adele's. From the moment you walk into the restaurant, to the service - Caitlin was the BEST -, to the food - the roasted chicken was amazing - and the ambiance you know you are going to be wowed! Adele's is definitely a restaurant to be put on your radar if living in Nashville or if you are planning to visit. Can't wait for a return trip!!!!

Great brunch, the food was excellent and the service was superior. Olivia, our server, was very sweet and very attentive. Cindy, the manager, was also very helpful and made sure we had a great visit. I highly recommend Adele's. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Nashville. I dream about the biscuits and chorizo gravy! Yum!

We booked Sat brunch at Adele's based on the recommendation of a local guide. I was able to easily make a reservation online for our 9-person group. The food was excellent and there was enough variety to satisfy even the picky eaters. Our server recommended the biscuits and gravy, and she was not wrong! It's also walking distance to downtown Nashville. Overall, I highly recommend Adele's for larger groups that don't need a quiet place to dine.

This was a meal to remember! Service was friendly but not overly so, and the food ... just wow. 100% get the cornbread to start. I had crispy skin trout with crisp artichokes and it was fantastic. My dining partners both had beef dishes that they loved, I didn't try them because I was too in love with mine. Go crazy with a couple of shareable vegetables- we got crisp potatoes and brussles sprouts. Everything was just perfect. Sadly, no room for dessert. Maybe next time!

I have been coming to Adeles since it opened. I love the kale salad but it is decidedly smaller than it used to be. The gnocchi was very good. The cocktail menu wasn't to my taste but they did a good job with our boulevardier's.
The decor and food is delicious as always. The music is a touch loud it is hard to have a conversation across the table that is the only thing I don't like about Adele's. The music selection is amazing the food is stellar the the carafe mimosas are a good way to go for a split situation
Adele's had the potential to be a true gem. The food was great — irreproachable. The tri-tip was perfectly cooked, and the meatballs had a flavor profile that exploded in my mouth. However, the entire experience was marred by some truly baffling service decisions. Let's start with the cornbread. A seemingly simple request, right? Wrong. Our server, while polite enough, refused to take our order for the cornbread until we finalized our entire meal. Now, I understand the efficiency of a single order submission, but cornbread takes minutes, not an entire meal discussion. It felt like a strange power play, delaying a menu staple many diners order prior to their main course. Speaking of the menu, another frustration arose. Our server, bless her heart, refused to let us keep a drink menu after ordering our cocktails. The reasoning? We might "spill food on it." We're not toddlers flinging mashed potatoes here; we're discerning diners who (shocker!) can handle a beverage list without causing a culinary shambles. It felt unnecessarily restrictive and hindered our ability to finalize our selections for wine. Finally, the atmosphere took a nosedive when a previously open curtain/partition directly behind our table was slammed shut, just before we concluded our meal. The sudden lack of space felt intrusive and took away from the overall dining experience. Unfortunately, the service missteps made the night feel more like an obstacle course than a relaxing meal out. If these service quirks could be addressed, Adeles's could be a fantastic dining destination.

I love Adele and Idk if it was the after noon rush or what, but for the price that buffet needs to be tightened up the whole time. It was a lil sloppy and the bacon was literally burnt this time and the eggs were so over cooked. The bar was unkept and I have bragged about this spot so many times n was so disappointed this last visit. The can pineapple in the fruit salad was not appeasing at all. I just pray they get it back up good n have someone to just keep the bar clean n tidy. Still love the spot , might have to find another place if it doesn't get better.
Great food and excellent service. Jose is one of the best waiters I've ever had! Friendly, knowledgeable and personable. Attentive but not overbearing. Please tell him thank you!
My fiancée and I planned ahead with a 11:45 reservation. We arrived and greeted promptly and sat within 5 minutes. We love the decor and the overall atmosphere. Great service and a wonderful selection of food options. We will definitely be back with family.

Best buffet brunch in Nashville! Not to be missed! Seriously, every single dish was fresh and tasty. And something for everyone from the cheese biscuits and gravy to the kale parm salad. Of course, eggs, bacon, pancakes, and standard fare were available, but why not try the salsa verde eggs or the pastrami smoked salmon. Omg, best dark roast coffee in town! Wait staff was super attentive and friendly. Make a reservation and impress your friends!

Food was fantastic all around. We did the "family style/grazing menu" for our party of 8, which allowed us to try a little bit of everything. They portion the food to accommodate the party and we had more than enough! Lovely atmosphere and great cocktails! Server was very friendly but fairly aloof on his timing.

James the server was spectacular. Every minute item that we tried was exquisite and the flavors were unbelievable. I highly recommend every single person interested in the Gulch area to try this place, and they will not be disappointed.

The restaurant was not what we were expecting at all. We understood it would be busy but it was extremely long lines for the buffet itself was ridiculous. We were expecting it to be a more upscale relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately it was the total opposite. It was so loud because of all the people in such a small space then you add twice as loud music on top of and it became completely obnoxious. You could not even speak to your significant other at the same table. It was completely ridiculous. The quality of food was mediocre at best. Most had been left on the setup so long it was dry and in globs. The meats were past try from being under heat lamps. Lastly, thedessert table was downstairs in the back of the room to access. I'm physically disabled that made it extremely difficult. The desserts were dry and had not been refreshed at all. Certainly not an experience you'd expect for a brunch for two that was $85.00. We have no problem paying high prices for quality food but this really missed the mark.
