Adele's Restaurant & Lounge

Charlie & Karen Abowd have created a new dining standard.

Charlie’s philosophy about food is simple: Use only the best ingredients. That means organic, hormone-free beef, chicken and lamb, as well the finest sustainable seafood. Organic and locally grown produce is a mainstay on his menus; Charlie is an avid backer of Carson City’s farmer’s markets and buys much of his produce from nearby farms.

Karen's breaking new ground with the Greenhouse Project. The completely self-sustaining greenhouse will be the first of its kind in Nevada. That realization led to the Greenhouse Project, which will allow local children to tend gardens and in the process learn about sustainable and organic farming – and about making healthy food choices. The produce they grow will then help feed local families.
