I dined at Adega shortly after it opened and had a fabulous experience, so I returned with two friends last weekend. This time, I was surprised to see that the chef had changed the menu to a ""tasting"" menu. Everything was served in small tasting portions, to enable you to sample 2 or 3 ""entrees"". We each ordered several and we laughed when they arrived. The portions were microscopic (but the prices were not). Everything tasted good, but there are lots of upscale restaurants in Denver that are equally good (try Rioja!). The wine cellar is fabulous,though, and we had a good time simply because we were trashed due to the wine/food ratio. I guess it wasn't all bad. We did have to stop at Village Inn on the way home and eat again, though. Total cost for the evening: $300 at Adega and $23 at Village Inn...
Pros: wine selection, atmosphere
Cons: portions, service
