"First time visit, came with family and had the Easter Brunch. I was a little disappointed, for the price of the meal it seamed expensive for the none homemade variety of food displayed. Had to keep asking for refills on our drinks. Safe was friendly, but seemed inexperienced with waiting."

"The restaurant was especially busy. As a consequence, our salad order never arrived until we inquired, it took forever to get our main dishes, and one server ignored our request for additional water and bread. This experience is unusual as we have eaten there many times. Lastly, we were over-charged for one of the mains. Kudos to Ramon, the beleaguered helper, as he was attentive, but over- whelmed."

"Adelina's Bistro is WAY off the beaten track, so if you're looking for a good restaurant near the 101 freeway, it's not for you. It's in a golf clubhouse, and there's no signage for the restaurant (that we could see, anyway), so you have to go into the clubhouse to find the restaurant. We had high hopes for the food. It was OK. Not great. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable, but the food took forever to come out of the kitchen (and the restaurant wasn't very crowded). Overall, it was an OK meal with a pleasant server who served food that was slowly prepared. We won't be going back."

"Slow but friendly service on this visit. Sunday night prixe fixe dinner was seafood stew which was pretty good. Not as good as traditional cioppino but very flavorful. Small bistro salad for first course was nondescript. Dessert seemed different than as described, but was tasty."

"If you are traveling, this is not the restaurant for you. It's definitely beloved by the people who live in the complex surrounding it. You can tell it is full of regulars who come often. It's nice enough, but feels like a hotel lobby bar. The food was passable, can't really complain, and our waitress was quite lovely. It was a little slow as we were getting seated, but after she hit her stride, she was great."

"Normally I would rate this restaurant higher but our experience last Saturday wasn't as good as normal. They were busy so the service and dinner was slow. It was also quite noisy where we sat so difficult to carry on a conversation. I had salmon which was good but not great. It was slightly overdone without much flavor and the vegetables were not very tasty-mostly peppers and onions stir fried. My husband's chicken was quite good. We had creme brulee for dessert which was excellent."
