"ADEGA is the kind of place that embraces beauty in the details. Its owners curated the space with a glass-enclosed wine rack, hand-made furniture, and wine barrel-making tools on its walls—and these little touches add up. Most striking of all is the mosaic art on the back wall. Flourishes of blue paint across tile portray feathers from an outstretched wing, scrolling on a fancy frame, part of a Greek pillar, and a dozen other abstractions of grandeur — building into the crest of one majestic wave. Be aware that a night at ADEGA means investing in the full seven-course Chef’s Tasting Menu. We think it’s well worth the price. Not only is ADEGA the first and only Michelin-starred restaurant currently in San Jose, but it’s the only Portuguese restaurant in the U.S. to achieve a Michelin star." - Johanna Harlow
