An eclectic menu of hearty, classic bistro dishes crafted with New York flair. Think: A hearty Wagyu French Dip, topped with mozzarella and a creamy horseradish au jus, served on a perfectly crunchy baguette; or the Lobster Frites, made with luxe Maine lobster; the Bolognese Blanc, with freshly made rigatoni in a luscious white wine sauce, topped with wagyu beef ragu and parmigiano reggiano; or the innovative Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons, which takes a classic Caesar and modernizes it with the flavors of that New York staple – the everything bagel. The star here, however, is the over-the-top Angie Chop Martini, a thinly pounded, breaded pork chop redolent of butter, lemon and red wine vinegar, topped with hot peppers and parmigiano reggiano imported from Italy.

    Friday high tea was perfection. Service was 10/10.  The chef not only accommodated at the last minute gluten-free request but made my daughter’s celebration for finishing the 1st grade so special.

    This is a restaurant that cares and values guest experience/feedback. Think there might have been a few new menu items which we ended up ordering unknowingly, and managers/servers asked our opinion on them which was nice. They took the feedback extremely well. The ambiance of the restaurant is great too. Quaint and vibrant. I love me a limited menu since I see it as the chefs being able to focus more on flavor and quality which they definitely hit the mark. We went for a special occasion and our server recognized that with a lovely card (seriously, the card and the envelope were great quality) with a quick hand written note. Would I go again? Absolutely.

    Our first time dining and Ada’s was fantastic. Our server (from Puerto Rico) was efficient and all smiles. The Giant Crab Cakes were delicious. So was the Black Brioche starter. I had a daily special cocktail containing passion fruit which was refreshing. The chocolate dessert was amazing.

    The Coq au Vin was perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender but the veggies were crisp and the sauce excellent. This is always a go-to for a good meal and a place where we can talk.
