Adagia Restaurant features seasonally-driven California cuisine inspired by the eclectic flavors of the Mediterranean. Chef Omri Aronow’s creative approach with local and organic ingredients has earned Adagia high marks with guests and critics. Adagia was named best new restaurant of the year (2005) by the Contra Costa Times. Located in the 1926 historic Westminster House by architect Walter Ratcliff, the main dining room, with wood-covered walls, coffered ceiling and fireplace creates an absolute unique dining experience. Adagia offers guests several options for dining including an outdoor, heated patio as well as a cozy private dining room for up to 12 guests. Located across the street from UC Berkeley and only two blocks away from Cal Performances at Zellerbach Hall, Adagia is the pre-performance place to be.

fancy for a restaurant next to campus

When I first saw Adagia, I was surprised to see such a fancy restaurant practically on campus. I am guessing this is where all the professors go to eat to escape the meddling college students. The food here is pricey, which probably drives most Berkeley students away. The menu is very limited, but each dish is pretty tasty. The best deal at Adagia is probably the lamb shank since you get much more meat than the other dishes. The service was usually okay, although sometimes a little slow. This is place is nice if you want to eat something nice while still near campus, but otherwise I would stick with all the other delicious restaurants in Berkeley.

Dishes I tried:

Braised Lamb Shank

Probably the best dish because it is a large lamb shank, has tender meat, and good sauce. A little salty though.

Creekstone Flat Iron Steak

The meat is thinly sliced and full of flavor. While it tastes good, it doesn’t come with that much steak. The potatoes are pretty good, although very saucy.

Crabcakes

These crabcakes are jam packed with crab, but it only comes with two and it costs a lot.
