But the crowning achievement is the seafood bisque with lobster and oysters in which the irresistibly creamy broth is poured over the pristine seafood tableside. In a similar vein of deliciousness is Adega’s rice concoction with lavish amounts of shellfish and vegetables, beautifully spiced, which makes even the best Spanish paella pale by comparison. Another killer entree from the sea is a tasty fish assortment—recently, seabass, cod and salmon—perfectly cooked and paired with pumpkin in pieces and pureed, pumpkin seeds and subtle lemongrass sauce. But carnivores are paying attention to Costa’s take on a Portuguese classic of steak topped with an egg and fries. Upgraded with a juicy ribeye delivered on a sizzling stone, this interactive treat not only lets diners choose the level of meat doneness, but they can experiment with very complementary bitefuls of accompanying potatoes, fried egg, Iberico ham and more. Save room for Carreira’s heavenly, sophisticated desserts. In her hands, mundane rice pudding turns into delicate fried orbs of coconut rice with perfectly sweetsour passionfruit sauce and slightly boozy mojito sorbet. Or dive into light chocolate sponge cake with espresso mouse crowned by eucalyptus-smoked chocolate sauce and chocolate ice cream. Adega means winery or wine bar in Portuguese and, the name fits given the enormous selection of wines from that nation. But the friendly, Portuguese- accented servers should impart more helpful details to guests about these largely unknown wines to assist in selection. Otherwise, the service and pace are perfect and the simple, modern decor enjoyable appropriate for diners as they take a new culinary journey.
