| - Adega was a wonderful dining experience. A friend and I dined here for brunch recently for an intimate birthday meal. The service was first-rate. The food was delicious. The ambience is nice.
The hosts who welcomed us were very warm and accommodating. They smiled and wished me a happy birthday. Our server, Brian was excellent. He was kind, patient with our finicky selves (so many delicious options), always kept our drinks topped off, but we never felt smothered. We'll be asking for him next time we come.
We both had coffee, which was very smooth, making it dangerously easy to drink. Our only complaint was the cups were too small. I had the Croque-Madame and my friend had the Nutella Stuffed Pancakes. The Croque-Madame was perfect. It was open-faced with only one thick slice bread, which was good because it was a very rich dish. It has a truffled essence to it. What made this dish really stand out, was the lightly dressed greens that gave it a nice acidity to balance the richness. Also, the two Friday eggs that topped the dish were perfect. The new Tele stuff for pancakes were gigantic. My friend and I could've shared these, but why when he can have the whole thing to himself? They were decadent, but still felt very childlike, which was very nice.
The restaurant itself is a beautiful space. I strongly recommend it for brunch, obviously, but also very special night out. We sat in a booth that faced the kitchen, but it still felt intimate. There were tables on the other side of the gigantic, beautiful wine cellar that face the street. I imagine those are nice on a warm weather day.
I highly recommend Adega to all those looking for a high quality dining experience, with delicious food, wonderful service and a beautiful atmosphere.
