Adega is located at the lobby level of The Metropolitan at the 9 hotel on the corner of 9th and Prospect. The 9 itself is an architectural treasure, and once inside, the floor to ceiling windows at the lobby and in the restaurant fame the city very well. At the center of the restaurant is this massive glass tower of a wine cellar which I though was a nice Modern touch.
The food isn't classic Mediterranean, I'd still say New American with a hint of Mediterranean. I normally hate Brussel sprouts, but those ones I loved. The trout, flatbread toasts, creamy polenta side dish, and the Chicken Francaise were all good eats. The service, atmosphere and quality of the food was top-notch that day.
