  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.



The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured. The wine list with over 180 selections is an ambitious one that keeps growing, but sure not to disappoint the discriminating connoisseur.

    Met up with a few friends that haven’t been together in a while. We are raving about the food and service days later. I have been to Adega before so I was on the hook. It did not disappoint at all.

    Ambiance was beautiful, servers were attentive. I accidentally threw food into my lap and I didn't think anyone saw it, but as I was trying to dab water onto my pants with a napkin, very discreetly the server set a glass of club soda down in front of me and said this will work better before he slid away just as quickly and quietly as he appeared. One server was from Portugal and was happy to chat with us about his experiences there and in the US. We went on a Monday evening, it was very quiet and comfortable. Server recommended a bottle of wine and it was one of the best wines I've ever had. Overall great experience.

    I’m Portuguese and find it challenging to find a good Portuguese restaurant in the NY/NJ area. Adega Grill changed that. I can honestly say they are in a whole other league. From quality to quantity, service and start to finish…beyond 5 stars.
