The first San Jose restaurant to win a Michelin star—only to lose it two years later—has captured the honor again.

Adega recently reopened with a seven-course tasting menu created by Chef David Costa.
Los Gatos chef David Kinch once again received three Michelin stars for his celebrated Manresa restaurant.

But congratulations to Adela for having the chutzpah to sell this stuff to the more pretentious among us.
