Adriatic Grill – Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar

Boyfriend and I went here for a belated Valentine’s Day dinner last night and it wasn’t crowded at all but somehow it took 50 minutes for our food to get to us :/
We were there for an 1 hour and 45 minutes because the service was SO SLOW.
They give you bread to start but honestly it’s just super salty and meh. We had the bruschetta for an appetizer which was pretty good. Nothing to write home about but I’m so glad we got it because we were waiting for our entrees for so long!!!
We were seated in the back of the main dining room so I could see all of the other tables and the kitchen. I counted two tables next to us that also had two people at them that got their meals a good 15 — 20 minutes before us that sat down way after us… Our waiter was super flighty. He was running around everywhere and seemed super busy but he was taking care of other tables and ignoring us?
Ugh.
Food was good but nothing close to authentic Italian. I’m over 50% Italian and I’ve spent a good amount of time in Italy so I know good Italian food. I had the clam linguine and boyfriend had the chicken parmigiana. I mean it was good just not amazing. Basically your average Americanized Italian food that is wayyyy overpriced and slathered with way too much butter.
Had the chocolate lava cake for desert and it was kinda hard and not really warm because guess what? Waiter forgot about us… He came by and was like «oh… you don’t have your desert?» Um no obviously we don’t… So he brought it out and it had obviously been sitting in the back for a while…
They give a military discount but my boyfriend forgot to tell him until he brought out the check and then the waiter made some awkward comment like «oh yeah I should have been able to tell from your haircut» AND then makes us wait an extra 10 minutes while he takes his time to fix the check even though we are obviously super eager to get out of there.
Won’t be coming back. I wish I had caught the waiter’s name so I could call and complain! He was older and overweight.

Husband made reservations for Valentine’s day and the place was hustling. Even though it was packed we were seated on time and our food came to the table quickly and fresh. We had coffee and a cappuccino that were excellent and authentic. We ordered the antipasti appetizer that came with very large servings. We each had pasta dishes that were good. I wasn’t taken aback by amazement but it was warm and tasty nice but casual attire.

Our waitress was awesome. Very attentive. Great service. The place is pretty kid friendly. Good variety on the menu. Our food was fantastic… we stuck to Mediterranean choices. Definitely worth a try.

Pretty good food, good service, a bit pricey. They offer military discount, clean atmosphere

First off, the service here was fantastic. Attentive because the kitchen was a little slow, but not overly so. When my first drink was empty, the server was there to see if I wanted something else. I came with just my kids and while the things on the adult menu can be on the expensive side, the kids menu prices are perfect and the portions are perfect. I love the atmosphere, and their porcini soup is amazing. The kids can draw on the table (there is butcher paper still on the tables, a hold over from cucina cucina) and they gave all my kids dough to play with. Will definitely be back.

They have some really good food here. I went here for an event and I got the Chicken Alla Parmigiana. It was very good! Chicken was tender and the sauce was right. I tried a little piece of the BBQ pork chop and that was really tasty as well. It’s a little pricey but the portions are good along with the food.
Definitely worth trying out.

Absolutely amazing time. Its been over 3 years since I last ate Italian food, the Olive garden ruined it for me. My wife convinced me to eat Italian and I’m glad I accepted the challenge. Food was great, customer service was great, the overall ambiance was great.

Great atmosphere and fine dining… great friendly service and Wednesday is 50% off bottle wines… a sweet deal. Came here before on Wednesday too… lucky we came here again on Wednesday… the bread is fresh as can be. A great place to come and dine and relax with great food

For a place that is supposed to be Italian Cuisine they don’t really have much to offer on their menu. I was expecting a bigger menu with lots of options. Or maybe I was expecting too much? We ordered a Margherita pizza and regular pasta with just white sauce. Food was ok nothing spectacular. The pizza was pretty good, but tasted like Digorno. I thought the pasta sauce would be really good since this was an Italian restaurant but that too tasted just Ok. Next time I might try to order more from their menu and maybe update my review. I was looking for that home made Italian flavor and I didn’t quite get it from Adriatic.
Their service was great. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in the door and the wait staff was friendly and check on us frequently to make sure everything was ok. Overall the restaurant is clean and well kept with clean restrooms.

Upon entrance the doors are solid metal which is unusual and interesting. The décor is filled with snowflakes and wreaths. We weren’t greeted by the host but we went to the bar anyway. Sat ourselves at the only table available which unfortunately was also the only one that didn’t have a light. We decided to pretend we were having a romantic dinner to make up for being the only ones in the dark. The waitress was prompt and acknowledged that they were looking for a lightbulb. She was able to answer all questions about the wine selection and entrees. The prices were very steep! Entrees ranged from $ 22– $ 30, for pasta dishes that’s a little too much. Most appetizers started at $ 10. We opted for a pizza since we came in for a casual dinner post Christmas shopping but still ended up paying $ 70 with an appetizer, drinks, and pizza. The table next to us finished all of their meals then promptly put a hair in it and told the waitress to take it off their bill. Now I understood how people could afford such expensive pasta! Unfortunately my hair was in a bun

Have you ever had a server bring you food, that some complete stranger has already started eating, and ask if it was ok for you to accept it as your meal? That’s what happened to me at a bridal shower that was hosted here today. I ordered the same pizza as my sister. When our pizzas came they were clearly different. I reminded Conner the server that we had the same order and so he took back the pizza promising to retrieve my order. Time passed and he came back with a pizza that looked like my original order except it was missing a slice. «I found your pizza, it’s missing a slice, but is that ok?» I looked at him in horror as he continued to say «she only touched the missing piece is that all right with you?» I let him know that was NOT OK and that I wanted my own fresh pizza. I actually considered not ordering out of fear. BUT I did eat half of my sisters meal, and I had to replace it. Plus I was hungry… so he left for quite sometime and came back offering me a pizza he found in the back, I turned it down… I dont know how many other people turned it away, and it wasn’t what I ordered so THIS TIME he finally put in the order and I recieved my pizza at the end of the bridal shower. I ordered around 1pm, and got my actual meal around 2:40pm, because the first meal was wrong, the second meal he searched for and brought to me after someone already took ownership of it, the third was wrong and he «found it» and then fourth I had to wait for my order to be put in and be made.
After all that I had to request the pizza be comped. I still recieved a bill for the salad, so I decided to talk to a manager because I really needed to know if what he did was standard practice there. The server didn’t seem to understand that I didn’t want a pizza that someone else had, let alone started eating. As I waited for the manager I talk to both bartenders who looked just as mortified as I did when I explained what happened and why I was waiting. When the manager came she was very sweet and was hoping she misheard the story. She apologized, eliminated my bill completely and offered me a 25 $ gift certificate with my name on it to try their restaurant out again. I think it’s safe to say that not all of the wait staff does this… but I’m still uninterested in returning. The place looks great, food was good, but I don’t want to wonder how many people started in on my food before me.
Added bonus I ended up speaking to the lady that had been given the wrong pizza, accepted it out of hunger and then had it taken from her to be offered to me… she wasn’t surprised I turned it down.

Excellent service! The waiter was kind and gave us excellent advice on what was good to order for our first time being there. I loved the atmosphere, a little dim with romantic lighting and candles lit. The kitchen area had a fire going. We ordered some Mozzarella balls (not sure what they were called) and a Pizza that was Chef Bill’s specialty (something carne or carnal, lots of meat) and we finished off with some Icecream. Delish!

Second time coming to the Adriatic Grill, and I got to say I am a little disappointed. The chicken was undercooked, and the pasta was unnecessarily salty, again. While there was effort put into the dish, the taste was all off. The environment inside the Adriatic Grill is perfect for an Italian-​American date night, but the food is just not up to par.
There are certain expectations that come with being a highly, accoladed restaurant and this restaurant does not meet those expectations. You could still take your date to this restaurant but just hope your date has a horrible palate.. And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

I heard good things about this place so we have it a shot and it was just meh.
The hostess had a problem seating us even though the restaurant only had two tables occupied and they were out of a few items on the menu.
My pasta was okay but mainly on the salty side so I left that un finished even though I was still hungry.

My wife and I had trouble rating this place. We went with some family from California to have a nice dinner. My wife ordered the lasagna and it was bellow average in her mind. There was very little meat in it and it was mostly just pasta sauce, cheese and noodle. I had tilapia and I felt that the dish itself wasn’t very flavorful.
The ambiance is so-​so and I like how you can see the kitchen (has a Macaroni Grill feel to it) but beyond that everything felt very average. The prices are very high and we waited nearly 40 minutes for our food. With that being said for an average restaurant experience I couldn’t rate it a higher than a three.

A friend brought us here a year ago and it was so good that when friends came into town we left all the nearby dining in Seattle to take them here. I loved the antipasti appetizer and the caprese skewers were amazing! You can’t go wrong with the lasagna and while I wanted my pork chop to be less salty I was overall pleased again. My friend got a wood fired pizza that looked and smelled so good!
The atmosphere is very cozy, service is prompt and friendly. The other advantage over Seattle is of course parking.
The drinks were made very well. I feel confident that we will be back again and will recommend this restaurant to friends looking for a nice night out on the town.
Price point is consistent with mid scale restaurants. No real complaints about that.

Place was great, food was great, service was awesome. Found out that every Sunday is happy hour all day :) Will be back for sure!
Ps the rum cake is a must have!

Great service and good food. We were seated immediately and prices were very subjective was was fine :)
Overall is that I would comeback to this restaurant in a regular basis. :)

They have a good Happy Hour. The Chop Chop is very good, as well as, their pepperoni sausage pizza and they do offer a 24 oz Stella for $ 6 which is a bonus. The HH burger was tasty and juicy but the fries were just OK. Overall, a good experience.

To slow of service. We had to wait 20 minutes before we could even be seated and there was no one in the restaurant.
I would not eat there again. Buffalo wild wings was right next door and I have a feeling that I would’ve been for less disappointed over there.
