The Belgian waffles were tender inside, slightly crisp outside, and beautifully dressed with ripe, fresh strawberries lightly showered with white powdered sugar. But along with the usual breakfast fare, such as fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs and French toasts, Adair Kitchen turns out some not-so-common, stellar options, such as a sourdough toast topped with buttery avocado and chorizo-flavored pork sausage. Combined with fresh cilantro, lime and a side of mashed black beans, it leaves a favorable impression of this hip, airy space that always manages to surprise regulars with its creative twists on traditional dishes, such as a tri-tip steak salad with grapefruit.

Adair Kitchen in Tanglewood has gained quite a following since opening its doors. Lines form promptly at 8 a.m. each morning for the inventive breakfast options. Avocado + Chorizo Toast is grilled sourdough toast drizzled in olive oil topped with spicy chorizo, fresh avocado, lime and fresh cilantro, served with black beans. Crispy Chicken & Waffles are handmade juicy breaded chicken tenders served with deliciously sweet Belgian waffles and maple syrup. For the less adventurous, you can still order up breakfast favorites such as French toast pancakes, omelets and two eggs any style. The open interior can get a little noisy, especially when the line is long, but there is a nice outdoor seating area. Breakfast is served through lunch daily, but there are also some breakfast dishes on the dinner menu.
