Adams Avenue Grill is really two eateries in one: a sunny, informal lunch spot by day and a gently sophisticated dinner destination by night. Whatever the time of day, contented conversation and bursts of laughter fill the sociable dining room, where nearly every table offers a view of the front door and the passing sidewalk scene. The room is a popular gathering spot for birthday meals and other momentous occasions but is just as well suited to a quick dinner before heading off to a show.
The young staff has a knack for remembering faces and catering to special tastes; in fact, one regular here says the kitchen is happy to cater to children, with custom-made servings of plain pasta or omelets. Guests of all ages rave about the desserts (think chocolate-chip cheesecake). The bar here is compact - just a counter with about eight high stools - so it's best to wait for a table if you're having an entire meal. Hang out and nosh on the signature red-onion rings while you wait.
