***OPEN FOR DINE-IN AND TAKE OUT***

A chef-driven paradise wrapped in a small neighborhood vibe. Ada’s has been a staple in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood for years. However today, the new Ada’s is a creation stemmed from a lifelong dream of Executive Chef Ayhan Barlas. With a completely revised menu of American classics prepared with a European flair alongside Chef Ayhan’s native Turkish favorites, your senses will thank you!

We are firm believers that the freshest ingredients create the best dishes, and that things that grow together, go together. So, in keeping with that mantra, we pride ourselves on using as many local purveyors as possible to best keep our dishes in line with the true spirit of the finest cuisine the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Here you'll find a modern, warm and romantic dining experience in an elegantly casual atmosphere. We also have a great bar and lounge area with a wonderful Happy Hour.

When you dine with us, you’ll feel like part of the family.

    I was searching for a nice restaurant with a solid selection of entrees that didn’t break the bank for my daughter’s birthday dinner. So happy to find Ada’s. It’s a quaint neighborhood place on Phinney Ridge with amazing food and wonderful service - far exceeding my expectations. We had cocktails, appetizers, wine, dinner and dessert. Everything was delicious. I look forward to another visit.

    One of the outstanding restaurants in Seattle...the cuisine combines Turkish and Continental influences which make for a unique dining experience. I'm not a meat eater although there are some lovely beef and lamb dishes, and the selection of fish and vegetarian options is terrific. Great seared scallops, whole trout, stuffed eggplant and two of the best soups around...a Lobster Bisque and a traditional Turkish one, the name of which I can never remember! The owner-chef is a charming host and is truly a wizard in the kitchen.

    Excellent food, including unique and creative Turkish dishes, but also American standards. Small and intimate space. The only high end restaurant on Phinney Ridge. Special night out.

    Food examplary flavorable and reasonably priced; however your alcoholic drinks extremely out of line. One glass of wine ....$15 OUCH and shot of Port $14 BOOOOO. Will return for the food; however hold the booze. Your soup was outstanding and the trout superbly cooked with wonderful broth. Definitely recommend to friends and family; yet warn them on the libations.

    Our evening started with a very welcome from the hostess. We took our darling little table, had a great experience from the pistachio and goat cheese, appetizer to a Caesar salad and calamari and lamb shank. Our service from our waiter… Waitress, was remarkable. She recommended a delicious wine, and the chef came out to the table. A truly wonderful experience. We can’t wait to go back!

    Great place, but a little over priced for the portion size. I felt the food didn’t have any taste really. The side items are over priced big time. Loved the look and atmosphere of the place. I won’t be returning when just two dinner and no cocktail’s cost over $120. A little slice of heaven can go a long way without racking up the prices.

    Decided to have an unconventional Easter dinner someplace new and found Ada thru Open Table, impressed by its long list of 5-star reviews. Great discovery! Unfamiliar yet delicious dishes, accompanied by a very good Turkish wine, wrapped the evening with scrumptious profiteroles and Turkish coffee. So happy we found Ada’s, soon to be a new “regular” place for us on date night.

    Visited Ada's because their menu features both Turkish food and more American-type stuff, too. I loved the Turkish food....had a stuffed eggplant that was excellent. And my partner liked the American food. Our waitress was top-class; helpful and efficient and solicitous of our needs. We will go back.

    We were greeted very warmly by the hostess and then in just a few minutes , by our waitress, who was also very friendly and helpful with providing information about the menu. Cocktails were excellent and served in very cold glasses. The food was delicious and arrived timely as well as hot. The owner came out to check to see if our expectations were met and he was also friendly. They brought birthday baklavas for my brother and me. A delightful evening and wonderful meal!

    Delicious and interesting food. Loved the special take on manti and on the goat cheese appetizer. Nice booths for separation for some of the tables. You could hear the music from the bar but not bad enough to disrupt our conversation. I will be back again to try more things !! The diverse menu included things for people who want to try new things but also interesting takes that are good for a more traditional eater so a great place to go with another couple. Street parking was easy to find when we were there at 7:30 on a Saturday. Kind and welcoming staff too

    What a lovely surprise to find this Turkish-American restaurant in Phinney Ridge! Every dish was delicious and the cocktails were nice and stiff (Manhattan and Peach Old Fashion). The only feedback was that prices were a bit high for the amount of food but likely due to the current economic times we live in (high inflation). That said, we would definitely go back. One of the best Turkish meals we’ve had in Seattle (there aren’t that many Turkish restaurants).

    Been here twice within a month and will definitely be coming back again soon. The food is outstanding! A contemporary take on Turkish and Mediterranean food, very approachable and delicious, with a menu that is easy to pick from: we always have a starter a main course and a dessert - and Turkish coffee! Some feedback: please turn the music down a notch (and perhaps play something more chill than country rock and disco). Please don’t start the dishwasher behind the bar with a room full of dinner guests.
