Great food – This place has great food - it's about time Denver started getting some good restaurants! If people want bigger portions, then why don't you belly up to the trough at Claim Jumper? Anyone who "gets it" will understand that the idea here is to try a variety of dishes in small portions and not go out feeling like a stuffed Christmas turkey! Obviously the concept of "fine dining" is still lost on a lot of Denver bumpkins who equate quality with quantity!

Best Restaurant in Denver – Adega is imaginative, delightful, and hands down, the best place for a special meal in Denver. I suggest all of the folks complaing about portion size head on down to the local all you can eat buffet. The service has been outstanding, and it is nice to finally have a place in Colorado that truly deserves the title "fine dining." We've come a long way!

food or art? – Just wanted a great meal, too dressed up, foie gras........YUCK pretty pricey for the size of the protions, how about the Cod.......could the bowl have been any larger? I thought it for a family of 5! try it once, doubt you'll go back, at least for dinner

first class joint – Wow! What an experience my friends and I had the other night. I've been to fine dining establishments all over the country, and it's rare to find such a first class restaurant without the stuffiness that usually accompanies typical fine dining. The wait staff is friendly and KNOWLEDGEABLE - and it's a good thing with such a wide selection of offerings on both the menu and the wine list. We bought two bottles of wine, and I was most pleasantly surprised when after the sommelier knew what we wanted and how ... read more

Wine list to die for – Adega has, hands down, the best wine list in Denver and with 50 wines by the glass you can easily try more than one. The menu offers more than just your basic fare. Try the bacon wrapped dates for a starter. The decor is awesome and it's good to see such a cosmopolitan place here in Denver. Great work!

Adega - Nice look, bad execution. – Have gone to Adega twice now. The atmosphere is fantastic. The menu is overambitious for the chef. It sounds interesting and complicated on the menu, but is rather bland when it comes to the table. Also, I have had very mediocre service both times I have been. The management has been very gracious when I have commented, but overall I think Adega needs some work.

nice service, OK value – The sevice was great except that our waiter was too pushy with the wine. My husband had the cod and it looked great, the portion was adequate and was tasty. I, on the other hand had the beef tenderloin and all I got was a piece of meat and a little couscous. For twenty nine dollars you expect more than that. our overall experience was good, but I think for what you pay you should get more.

A glamorous disappointment – I love trying the hip, new restaurants, and am a big supporter of a non-chain in Denver, but I was very disappointed by Adega. The food portions were tiny, yet the prices remained heavy. The meals that we had were definitely over-priced and not worth their weight. The service was good, and we did appreciate the wide price-ranges available on the wines (from affordable to very expensive), but we could not get past the dissapointment of the food. It's one thing to charge high prices and offer your ... read more

swank city – Lovely atmosphere, cool little patio on wynkoop, and great wine bar. The bar area was my favorite and would be great for a first date.
