Pizza was delectable, cocktails were prefect, atmosphere was pleasant with a great friendly staff. My wife got the Delmonico steak and it was cooked to perfection with so much flavor. I had the half chicken and it was amazing! Desserts were light, fluffy, creamy and super tasty. Great restaurant

This is su h a beautiful place to eat with the most friendly bartender around and beautiful, sweeping views of the golf course. The restaurant itself is very roomy and opulent but allows casual, come as you are, atire and the food is always top notch.

Beautiful setting with fireplace. Very clean restaurant and lobby areas. Nice selection of wine, we chose a bottle of Daou Red. The server needs a little fi e tuning and training, but was sincerely doing his best.

The service was excellent. Cece did a great job! And, one of the best decisions made by Adelina’s Bistro was to hire Jennifer as the new restaurant manager....she a natural for the position and gifted with fantastic social skills that makes everyone feel welcomed. Also, kudos the person who made our pizza, we liked the thicker crust very much.

Adelina's Bistro at Monarch Dunes is a hidden gem! If you're a fan of classic throwback menus, you'll love it here. Their Crabcakes as an appetizer are a great start, followed by a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes—definitely feels like a trip back to the 80s in the best way. But what really stands out is their wood-fired pizzas—absolutely amazing! They also have a full bar and a good selection of wines to complement your meal. While the menu could use a little updating, the food and service more than make up for it. Highly recommend for a laid-back yet delicious dining experience!

The menu keeps getting better every time I come here! Chicken Picata was amazing and the watermelon salad was delicious. Such a wonderful upscale restaurant with reasonable prices. I will be coming back regularly!

Excellent dinner at Adelina's last night. We tried their new Pre-fix 3 course offering, including the Petite Salmon Salad which was terrific and not so petite, the Pistachio Crusted Pacific Red Snapper and the Beef Osso Bucco, both of which were very good. And kudos to our server Jennifer who made the evening even better. My only suggestion would be to turn down the very bright lighting (I did ask and they did turn it down a bit) which would really improve the atmosphere in what is a very attractive dinning room.
