chef adrianne's vineyard restaurant and wine bar

chefadrianneis adorable, spunky and remarkably talented. she will cram so much flavor into your salivating mouth that it might be too full too even moan clearly. with the assistance of her just as cute female sous chef egg, they titillated our eyes and palates all night long. in addition to these fabulous chefs we were also graced by nicole’s endearing presence throughout night. she was our incessantly beaming angel/waitress who possessed a demeanor and smile that induced sheer felicity...

whenever i hear the words "maximum flavor", i can't help but think of chefadriannecalvo, owner and chef at chef adrianne's vineyard restaurant and wine bar. i know you're probably thinking, "are you kidding me? that's a drive to the boondocks way out in kendall." all i have to say is..strap on the seat belt 'cause it's worth it. chef adrianne's vineyard restaurant and wine bar you have probably heard of her popular dark dining events held once a month at her restaurant. i've never done it but i hear it's quite the experience - suppressing your sense of sight with a blindfold while heightening your other senses as you bite into the unknown. however, i found that a meal at chef adrianne's, with or without the sense of sight, is a spectacular adventure. i recently visited her restaurant for the first time to attend a wine pairing dinner, and i walked out giddy and excited (and it wasn't the wine…not entirely). chef adrianne's signature sangrias i've talked to c

our own kendall gem. amazing!!!! this is the best food you could ever imagine...i can eat things i would never eat anywhere else if it's made by her... this is clearly my family's favorite restaurant. we last went for our anniversary and each time we go we are in awe of the food.. my favorite waiter, bruce, is awesome! we are so blessed to have chefadriannein kendall... we love her!!!!!

a great experience.. this cozy and romantic environment restaurant is a hit! the food is exquisite, the service couldn't be better. i was recommended by a friend that had previously eaten there and his only complaint was the extend of the wait time until the food was served. well, to disagree completely with my friends only complaint of the length of time my salad was in the table in exactly eleven minutes.
the salad was fresh, croutons were crunchy. my main coarse was chef adrianne's cod w/ sweet potato, this plate was in my table in 33 minutes after salad was served. the only thing that i can say of this plate is i died and went to heaven. the cod was so juicy and the flavor was just right, the sweet potato gave it a sweet taste to the dish but not too sweet. just right! my husband eat the fillet mignon and toasted goat cheese, this dish had a very good balance between the meat, the cheese and the mash potatoes. there is nothing negative that we have to say about this restaurant. for the future, for those people like my friend that don't like to wait; perhaps you are looking to eat in the wrong restaurant. if you want quality if i have to wait i will.

chefadriannekeep up the great work!
congrats on your success!

well... not at all one of miami's top.... we drove more than 30 minutes from south miami to get there. we came from montreal. we had read some of the reviews, and were really looking forward an amazing experience. it was not. the place is nice, the idea of using a variety of products (including bio products) is interesting... but putting it all together was not there. let's get to the detalis... we had the shrimps and the "deed fried" goat cheese (we did not know it was deep fried before ordering it... we only knew it was... bio). shrimps were well cooked... but way... way... way too much sauce... it was not good. goat cheese... way... too much breadcrums... way too much... and then... why deepfrying goat cheese? we then had the sea bass... and the osso bucco. sea bass was both well cooked and burned at some places... not acceptable in a nice restaurant... come on... white fish like sea bass cannot be burned. osso bucco... same problem... and if you are bringing a football team, that's the meal to order... we had so much... the quickly offered to box it for us... something you would never find in nice/chic restaurants... there is usually marrow in the bone of the osso bucco... ours was not there... mashed potatoes (which came with both osso bucco and sea bass) was good... but it could have been interesting not to have both meals with that... where's the green ? waiters were nice, but lacked training... they asked us, literally, 10 times if we were done... come on, again. finally, we had champagne... they give you glasses so filled... it's really a good deal.... but not what it should be in a nice restaurant. glasses should never be filled to the top... well... i tried to be constructive... hopingadriannewill read this... and keep improving...

my anniversary. every year i choose a special restaurant for my husband and i to share our anniversary. this year, we chose chef adrianne's, after hearing about how wonderful it is from so many of our friends. wonderful would be an understatement for this place. our table waited for us with candlelight and real rose pedals. we opted for the housemade sangria which were the bomb. best sangria in miami. we had the filet mignon. they don't lie when they say 16oz filet. it's a giant steak. perfectly cooked. the only other time i had such a great steak was at bern's steakhouse in tampa. if you're looking for a bern's type steak dinner, come to chef adrianne's. we also had an amazing baked alaska dessert and the chef came out to wish us a happy anniversary. thank youadriannewe won't forget our 16th wedding anniversary.

enchanted. my title says it all, i am enchanted by chef adrianne's restaurant. i am a culinary school graduate; i work in the industry, and for me to completely satisfied with a restaurant from start to finish is rare. from the greeting, to the ambience, to the decor, to the service and to the food; there is not one thing that did not impress me. the decor and ambience of the room instantly transport you from kendall to california. the music is hypnotic and soothing. the service was one of the upmost hospitality. you can tell her employees care about their jobs. the wine list was thorough and the server's suggestion for our meal was o point! the food was delicious, creative, and the presentation was amazing. chefadrianneeven took the time to meet me and show me her kitchen, as i am an enthusiast, which i found to be thoughtful of her. the entire dining experience was very much worth its cost, and beyond. i am so pleased my fiance and i celebrated our anniversary at chef adrianne's.

i want more!. sawadrianneon her show on nbc and was intrigued by the maximum flavor gimic. brother its no gimmick. the chick can cook like hell. haven't tasted food like this. tip: go on a weeknight if you want a quiet booth.

incredible!. i am a fan of chefadriannesince her restaurant opened. i am disappointed in reading the last reviews. i have never tasted food that had so much flavor, especially the lamb chops! i had the honor of meeting chefadrianneduring one of my last visits, and i know for a fact she is always in the kitchen. all of her meals are cooked to perfection and never microwaved. i have had the pleasure of seen her kitchen and there is no microwave in sight! (you can request to meet the chef and also see the wonderful kitchen she manages so well) i am delighted to see such a young, successful chef achieve the level of professionalism that she has. all i can say is that chef adrianne's restaurant is one of the best out there and is undeserving of such harsh rating! i am and will always be a fan of maximum flavor food by chef adrianne!

chef adrianne's recioes awaken every tastebud you can imagine. wow !!
this is a place you have to go with an appetite. the food has so much flavor , but in a great way. you find yourself savoring every bite.
i went for my boyfriends birthday and since then i have told my boss about it. my boss went and loved it and he also took some of our customers their and they called me to tell me that when they are back in town they will be back.
if chefadriannewas not hidden in the back of kendall she would be booming with business. she is a young, but she should consider herself among the extinguished chefs of america for having what it took some years or decades to discover.

after hearing about adrianne's for 2 years or more now, i finally made my way down there for my company's 1 year anniversary. it's been so long that i've heard people telling me you must go to adrianne's, you must try it but for one reason or another, i had never gone until last night. it's definetely off the beaten path but i can't decide if i like it better that its like that. if you have ever seen the movie mr. magorium's wonder emporium, this is like adrianne's wonder emporium of culinary magic. outside is an ugly rundown shopping strip and once you open the doors to adrianne's, it's like you are somewhere else. nicole, our server was pleasant and very discriptive of the specials making us baffled at which one to pick, they all sounded outstanding. i had this salmon that blew my mind. i've been everywhere eating the country one bite at a time. even to all of rick moonen's restaurants, and this salmon was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, with the perfect accompaniments.adriannegive such generous portions that its almost impossible to finish it all by yourself, a quality that i have yet to find in other chef restaurants. i had seenadriannein nbc a while back with her maximum flavor thing and thought to myself, maximum flavor? yeah right.! maximum flavor is right. i have never tasted something this good and i am not that young if you know what i mean.

my visit to a surprise!. being a food and wine freak from l.a. i had the distinct pleasure of being taken to adrianne's by the friends we were staying with in miami. the food was nothing short of spectacular. from the delicate and distinct flavor of the wontons and the perfection of the mussels (i'd go back for these alone) to the astonishing osso bucco which was not only an enormous portion but was exquisite and right on the money with the flavor profile. the service was knowledgeable and excellent and the room more than adequate. i don't know when i'll be next back in miami butadriannewill be at the top of my list on my return. i can't wait!!!

adrianne has a real gift. god bless adrianne. her food is great. what a talent! a chef that knows what she's doing. the restaurant is the best restaurant in miami for sure and in the top ten in the country possibly. don't expect a fancy shmancy location but i think thats part of the charm at adriannes. the element of surprise. you don't expect to find this kind of food in this location nor the decor. the restuarant is warm and romantic. and then there'sadrianneherself. she's just as beautiful in person as she is on tv. a bit tiny even in her chef clogs, makes you wonder how she;s able to cook for so many people so fast. she's got a smile that could light up the town like in a taylor swift song. all im saying is if you're looking for a real nice restaurant experience, go to adrianne's. i just had the wood planked fish and its was yuuuuuummmmmm!

the box asks me what i think of chef adrianne's?. the contrite little square seems quite small when having to describe a place such as this. i had the mussels and osso bucco. i have never in my life had such great mussels. are they all supposed to taste this good? or is this a magic touch of chefadrianneherself? i have heard infinite times in many different places about this osso bucco. honestly, how good could it be? after having four of my friends tell me the same thing on different occassions, i had to see for myself. it was great. this dish you can tell that a lot of time and effort goes into it. the saying "falls off the bone" definetly applies here. the restaurant is one of the top eateries on the east coast that i have ever been to.

the food is amazing. i have traveled all over the world and when i say i know miami is no food mecca, its the truth. miami wears a sort of facade of foodie when in fact it falls short to new york, new orleans, california, chicago, etc. nonetheless, i have come to find this incredible restaurant with an incredible chef. while i do agree that the location is a bit off, (its nowhere near anything you may recognize or note for being miami-esque) its an exceptional dining experience. for once in my 12 years in miami, i have wanted to lick the plate and have looked around and have seen the same reaction amongst other diners as well. i ask myself, where have i eaten lately that i have actually wanted to lick the plate? you too might agree that the answer is: nowhere. you must give chef adrianne's a shot. her food is exceptional. i was there this saturday and i was priviledged enough to have the wild mahi mahi with charred truffled brussel sprouts. its was succulent, perfectly cooked, lemony, buttery. the mashed potatoes were light and creamy perfectly indulgent. almost at the end of my meal, i tilt my head up to see this petite, red headed beauty, with such a humle happy glow, say hello. i could not believe my eyes. it wasadrianneherself to thank us for coming to eat. i still can't decide if the dessert was better or her smile. i have seen her on television many times and have pondered if she is really that sweet and funny in person. she really is that sweet and funny. god bless that beautiful talent. the world would be a better place if there were more chefs like her. the service was friendly and curteous. two things that you seldom find in miami. the servers knew the specials well and described it as if it were one of their favorites. sounds to me like adrienne feeds them well. all in all, if you find youself searching for a fine meal, and one that will not dissappoint, go to chef adriannes.
