| - As golf course clubhouse faire goes, you could certainly do worse than Adobe. The dishes here won't blow you away and the prices are a bit inflated for what you get, but when the weather is nice this is a charming little gathering spot for groups both big and small. A great view of the Biltmore golf course and a casual relaxed atmosphere have been drawing my parents here for weekend brunches for years. Another part of the draw for many is the fact that many don't even know this place exists, or that its accessible to the general public. Ergo, its almost never crowded. As was the case today.
For those who've never heard of this place, a quick tutorial. Enter the Biltmore at 24th Street and Missouri. Take the main road (stay on the right side of the road the whole way) all the way till the road ends at the Biltmore Golf Course parking lot. Walk towards the clubhouse and you'll find a large outdoor patio area. Head to the doors that open to patio and that's where the hostess is located. There's attendants in the parking lot in case you get lost and you don't have to be golfing that day to dine there.
Today I came with my Dad as this is always his weekend brunch standby. There's seating for probably about 100 altogether, so we've never had to wait for a table. Today the patio was pretty packed with golfers so we dined inside. Their brunch menu is pretty much all traditional American faire. Burgers, sandwiches, omelets, the usual suspects. One dish that my folks and I have here that stands out is their California Eggs Benedict. Turkey, poached eggs, avocado, arugula, and hollandaise on an english muffin. It's not cheap at $15, though the portion is big enough that you don't really need a side. Today it was just as good as I remembered and I left pretty satisfied.
I will echo some (though not all) of the comments regarding the service here. The staff here has always been super friendly to us, though I will agree it can be a little slower than it should be. Today was actually pretty adequate, though we have oftentimes had long waits for our meals and/or long waits for the bill. The other thing that I will say is unfortunate about this place is the patio is basically unusable during the summer months. If they would put misters and/or a larger shade structure outside over the patio area you might be compelled to chance an outdoor dining experience during the summer. But so far, no dice.
So if you're playing a round at the Biltmore or just in the neighborhood, the Adobe is a fairly decent spot for traditional American faire in a relaxed environment. No lines, no pretentiousness, no riffraff. The ambiance is quite pristine given the big city hustle and bustle that surrounds the area. Its not a goto for me the way it is for my folks, but hey, to each their own.
