| - I had lunch at Adega with some coworkers. Their dining room is elegantly decorated, with a modern motif. It is definitely upscale enough that I would never hesitate to bring any type of client, or business contact here. However, parking is pretty much limited to using the expensive valet service, unless you park in a parking garage and walk a block or two.
The chairs at the hightop table that we sat at were heavy and somewhat awkward to slide in and out from under the table across the thick carpet. I actually think most of us commented on what a pain in the neck it was to slide into the table. The service was polite, but little bit slow, and seemed slightly disconnected.
I had the chicken pesto pita with the sweet potato fries, As did my five other coworkers. I believe that they all enjoyed this sandwich. I enjoyed it too, but felt it was slightly overpriced at $14. However, I would definitely order it again based on taste, food quality, and presentation. I also had the Greek salad, but did not care for it. It was average at best, and I do not feel like the dressing, nor the herbs used really complemented the ingredients in the salad as well as it could have.
Overall, I can't say that I was disgusted with anything here, but I will was also not really wowed by anything either. The decor is beautiful, but there is nothing else that I experienced that I am really longing to experience again. If a friend asked me to go there for lunch with them, I definitely would not refuse, but Adega definitely would not be my first choice for downtown dining.
I think that if they could refine some things with the service staff, it would positively impact customer experience, and I would be willing to rate them more highly. Since they are still a fairly new establishment, it's possible they may actively be working to make adjustments. I may make a second visit in a few months, and update this review based on that experience. There are seemingly a lot of great components present at Adega to create an amazing dining experience, but the execution just wasn't there (yet) for me.
