    All the food was amazing. The bread that came with the burrata was insanely good. The gnocchi was light, pillowy, and melted in your mouth. Fun , unique, delicious cocktails (don’t sleep on the psycho candy). Excited to come back when the weather is nicer when they have the patio open!

    Love this place! We couldn't decide what we loved most on the menu ... the brussel sprouts and mussels are exceptional ... the eggplant was magnificent and I always love the F-French Martini!!

    After asking hours in advance if I could be seated inside I was promised that the patio seating was, “heated and enclosed”. It looked like a glorified dog run (turf and stains included) with three tables set, a covering, and heat lamps. A huge let down as I’ve been before and inside is a wonderful experience.

    Such a wonderful restaurant. It’s really the only place around in the neighborhood other than the hideout and Salt shed. But definitely worth a visit. Small plates for sharing and EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious. The service is also top notch. A Gem!

    My date and I went for our anniversary. It was our first time at Ada, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We each had a boozy but balanced cocktail, then ordered appetizers and entrees. Our bartender brought the courses out at the appropriate times and was attentive throughout the night. I'm excited to go back.

    This is a hidden gem with an effortlessly cool vibe. The food is outstanding creative, flavorful and perfectly portioned for sharing. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted. The cozy, dimly lit atmosphere makes it ideal for date nights or intimate dinners with friends. Service is friendly and relaxed matching the restaurant's laid-back but classy feel. A great spot if you’re looking for a unique dining experience in a chill, stylish setting.

    Ada St once again provided a memorable evening of great food & exceptional service. The lamb ribs & sea bass were highlights but everything was incredibly delicious. We look forward to our next visit.
