Adagio — Restaurant in Bethlehem

We are purchasers of Dream Come True fundraiser calendar that has a participating restaurant each month that offers a BOGO entree when you go during that month. We usually go with friends so the four of us go and we get one complimentary entree when we order. October’s restaurant was Adagio. We went with another couple and will NEVER go again!

We had one coupon for the four of us. One couple was handed a limited “special” menu for the Dream Come True coupon. The only thing that made it special was the prices were higher than their regular menu for the same items. Since we were four with only one coupon some of us wanted to order off the regular menu which is how we noticed. I asked if I could order off the regular menu if my husband ordered off the “special” menu and the waitress, Rita, who was nice but not helpful said she did not know. I asked to speak to a manager. We waited for over half and hour and no one came, Rita said the owner was on his way, RIGHT? We left without ordering.

I think this is a disgrace and totally disrespectful to Dream Come True, a charity that does exceptional work. Adagio is the only restaurant with a different menu, and if that is their “dream” they should just say so on their coupon. Other restaurants have restrictions, and each was noted on their coupon. Advance notice is all we ask.

The failure to even address the issue by a “manager” was incredibly rude and shows this restaurant is not an organization with whom a charity should associate.

This is an establishment you should AVOID! They have no consideration for their patrons or the CHARITY THEY SEEK TO EXPLOIT!

The food is sub par, the ambiance is a bit lackluster, but the service is terrific. The complimentary bread and butter was a good start to the meal. My Caesar salad that came with my entree was too overdressed. I ordered the pesto salmon dish- the salmon was dry and the pesto was a glob that rested on top of the fish and didn’t really do much to elevate the salmon. The flavors were not integrated well, and the dish felt disjointed. However, I loved the side of mashed sweet potatoes- probably one of the best that I’ve had. My friend ordered the jerk tuna which he enjoyed, but I wasn’t too impressed with the two bites that I had. The best part of our meal was the chocolate mousse cake dessert. They do a persuasive job at trying to get you to order dessert by presenting a large tray of all their dessert items. The cake was presented beautifully and I probably spent more time taking photos of the cake than eating it (it was gone in about 6 bites). We were attended to by Maria, who was very friendly and offered helpful advice...

I was greeted at the door of an empty restaurant with the words "no reservation"? I said I did have one and I received a heavy sigh and a roll of eyes and was told it didn't seem as if I had a reservation and was asked when and how I made it. Next question was if I had a coupon. What difference should it make if I had a reservation or not if the restaurant was empty. I was finally greeted last the table by the same person who was so rude at the door. Great. Never told if there were specials or what the SOD was and no mention that they were out of anything until we tried ordering. Our salads were brought out before we were even halfway through. Then, my friends plate was taken as he was trying to finish because the entree had arrived I think his fork was still touching the plate. Talk about being rushed. All in all it is unfortunate we will not return because the food was great, but the service was horrible and I didn't appreciate being addressed as "you guys". Service staff definitely needs to be trained and taught...
