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.

Our server Matthew was impeccable. His food suggestions were on point. The Lobster omelet was a tasty treat. But the lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious. We enjoyed the the whole experience. And so did our guest. Thank you for making my Husband's Father's Day Great.

Had a reservation for 9:15PM. Arrived early and said that we would sit at the bar, but if there was a table that opened earlier would appreciate being sat earlier. The cocktails were good at the bar, however the staff were more interested in doing cleanup or other things so several customers were completely ignored. Also while we sat at the bar, there were at least 5 tables that sat open till I went back up to the hostess station to inquire about our reservation. The hostess at the front were more interested in talking to other staff than paying attention to customers. We were sat at 9:10PM - no big deal but felt that we could have been sat earlier. Our waiter really didn’t understand the menu and seemed not to understand basic English at least where it pertained to the menu and food. We ordered 2 appetizers, 4 entries with sides. The steak was rubbery, the fish with crabmeat was served as a whole fish complete with bones & ordered 2 bottles of wine at the table. Maybe it was an off night, don’t know since this was our 1st time dining here, but based on the experience, it’s a one and done & will never return. The quality of the food was mediocre at best and expensive. If I’m paying $38 for fish with crabmeat, I do not want the head or all the bones. If I’m paying $48+ for steak, I want it cooked properly and have an excellent cut of beef - not what was served to us. Also, I get that finding good labor can be a challenge today, but if your restaurant is going to be expensive, then your waiters should understand the menus and be able to articulate accordingly. Maybe other people leaving reviews have had better experiences, however all 4 of us agreed that the quality of the food and service were unacceptable. As I mentioned earlier, we did find that the cocktails were good but that was about it.

Had dinner at Ada's for the first time to celebrate a friend's birthday and our anniversary. Restaurant atmosphere was lively and energetic, food was delicious and portions were good, only complaint was the crab cake was overly salty, but the grilled pork chop was outstanding. Our server, Theodore, was excellent, he was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Overall, it was a pretty good meal and we'll be back.

Went to brunch at Ada's for my partner and I's 8th anniversary (and first as fiances!). As always, the service and quality of the food were wonderful. We particularly enjoyed the lobster salad from their new seafood menu, and the chocolate gateau from their new desert selections.

Ada’s is absolutely gorgeous, so elegant! It sits right on the water and has patio seating to enjoy the view. They make all of their food fresh and have no freezers… and the taste of everything was divine. My friends and I had the mushroom lasagna, crab cake (all crab, no filler), cold mussels, pork chop, with the sweet potato and artichoke sides. Everything was excellent, including our server Patrick. I cannot wait to return with my kids!
