| - Tonight was the first time I have ever asked a restaurant to cancel my order so I could walk out. I had such a disappointing time tonight at Adega, I was actually disgusted by how poorly my party was treated. First, to be fair, our party of 3 arrived at 7pm, 1hr before Game 7 of the NBA Finals. We thought we would grab a drink and a bite to eat at a place we had been before and liked, and soak up some of the atmosphere on E.9th street. We should have know that nothing was going to go right, when we were told that we were the last people being allowed in to the near empty restaurant. Besides maybe a dozen or so people at the bar, there were only 2 tables of people seated inside, so there wasn't exactly a crowd. We were warned that it would take 15 minutes to get a drink, but it ended up being over 45. So fine, we were told we could only order beer or wine as the bar was overwhelmed, but after asking for 3 Angry Orchard ciders, the server's response was to mock our drink choice. We should have just left then, but instead this was the beginning of the truly deplorable service we were subjected to. I've never had to sit there and be belittled by an "overwhelmed" waiter. To be told that the restaurant was being closed so "outsiders" wouldn't come in and that they didn't want the undesirable crowd of "people from the street". Excuse me? We had come in after walking down the street from another bar. What exactly is the wait staff trying to say? And then to openly mock my sister for asking for her salad to come without tomatoes. And to be told that Adega is a "Mediterranean restaurant and if you don't like these ingredients you shouldn't eat here." Not to mention the fact that when I mentioned that I have Celiac's, the waiter asked me "do you really have a gluten allergy?" Yes, really, but thank you for implying that I'm a liar. To add insult to injury to be told that people with a gluten allergy are a pain in the ass to deal with. Wow. Thank you for making us feel welcome. For a waiter to tell me point blank that "I better not see a poor review on Yelp tonight" amongst other comments was extremely unprofessional. But the straw that broke the camels back was when we were told that they would rather we didn't watch the game, which they had on the Tv in the bar area. Adega came very close to ruining what was going to be a memorable night. So after tracking down a manager, we cancelled our food and paid in cash for our 3 ciders. Good riddance. If you want good food or good service, go elsewhere. We certainly had a much better time once we switched venues.
