Reviews

A very nice decor restaurant, the 🍸🍹 Lisboeta taste so good.
I liked the portion of their dishes, not too big for one person, and not too shy if sharing between two. In general the cooking is fine, the vegetables, sauteed kind of impressive, full of flavors, cooked perfectly.
The beef tongue in tomato sauce a little disappointed, beef tongue cooked fine, but tomato sauce kind of tasteless. Overall, enjoyed lunch, and surely will go back some other time.

Owner response

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it, hope to see you back soon!

This was supposed to be our best and nicest meal of the trip, so there was a bit of hype before going to it.
The interior has a nice and inviting feel to it.
The meal started out well with the cheesy bread and Jamon (ordered on the side).
The service was friendly but not as attentive as I would like it as we had to fill our own waters a few times.
Halfway through our meal, the food got more salty to a point where none of us could finish the entree.
It was a nice gesture that our server tried to fix the dish and bring it another one for us, but it was more like watering down the broth.
We were told that traditionally, the dishes are on the salty side (I normally eat salty foods, but this was very salty).
We ended the meal with a few dessert items, with the egg tart being really good.
Overall, I expected this experience to be better, but it was good that our group got to hang out together.

"Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience.
We apologize for any shortcomings during your visit.
Your feedback is valuable, and we'll work to improve.
We hope to welcome you back for a more satisfying experience at Adega.

Amazing meal! Excellent service and food.
No doubt deserving of their Michelin recognition.
Sad to hear they are closing.
Will definitely try their sister restaurant and bakery.
They truly made my husband's birthday a special one - extra dessert, a glass for a toast and card signed by all staff.
