    Always a elevated experience at Ada Street from food to vibe to service. The harissa carrots and the Bolognese were on point. Wine selection hits.

    Chicken liver mouse, steak tartare and lamb sausage were all excellent and solid-sized portions.

    Chef Ryan is a master at combining and balancing nuanced, novel flavors to create delicious food that is consistently great! Michael was an excellent server: funny, helpful and a consummate professional! Get the carrots, Brussels, bolognese, mussels and eggplant for sure! Finish with donuts and fantastic bread pudding. But there’s not a single dish on the well-curated menu that isn’t a success! And we’ve tried them all. Consistently one of my favorite restaurants in the city for great creative food, good price point, yummy cocktails (good unique mocktail offerings) and awesome service!

    We had an absolutely perfect dinner tonight. The food was fantastic… the Brussel sprouts were the hit of the night. Service was superb, ambience was great. This is an absolute must go again place to eat! And, btw, parking was beyond simple!

    Top-notch service; always love the vibe and ambience here; cocktails missed the mark this time which isn’t typical; food was overall very good though beetroot risotto needs a bit more balance in flavor and was a little loose

    This restaurant continues to be one of my favorites for the incredible food, price point, and service. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our one year anniversary, and they gave us the same spot we sat in for our first date, as well as glasses of champagne to start and a free round of drinks. Every dish is worth trying but the eggplant stole the show last night!
