I had just sat down to another group dinner at Adega and I begin to think about the big events that occur in the upstairs when I see the drug reps who frequent the upstairs events coming out.
Yes, this place can host a crowd. They might just survive on money from Abbott and Pfizer etc.. But my group meals for 10-14 people have always been easily accommodated any night of the week. They don't make large groups order off a set menu, so you can get what you really like.
Only thing I've seen that didn't look delicious here was the risotto. Is it true that the risotto mix-ins are yesterday's leftovers?
My most recent visit, I had a craving for grilled calamari. Done.
In the winter months, the seafood stew can't be beat.
Polenta is a bit brick-like, not soft and creamy the way many people like it.
Portuguese food with a bit of Italy sneaking in, is how I would describe it, but most Portuguese places are cheap chicken joints, so this is high class.
I adore the bread baskets and olives that are given to every table. ADORE the bread! Specials are varied and often include some type of whole fish, which I ordered once. Lobster can be taken out of the shell for you- hello- amazing!
Wine list is basic, but well-prices for above group dinners.
