    The smash burger was significant but not super flavorful. In contrast the crab cakes were loaded with great flavor. The fish and chips was very good, nicely breaded with a yummy sauce.

    Made a reservation for two to celebrate a birthday. We each order a drink and appetizer. The server was less than attentive to us. The second guest ordered another drink. I did received a free dessert, but we did let our server know we would be ordering another drink, said she would be right back. Ten minutes after that comment, nothing. I decided I was done and did not like the vibes we were receving, and wanted to leave. There was even no offer to fill up our water. She finally came back to ask if there was anything else. The other guest said no, our checks please. Once she brought back the checks, she handed us their mobile pay machine, which was fine. I am usually a good tipper, but when the machine popped up 3 different percentages, the lowest being 22%, I was a bit taken back. My bill was just over $40. Which was totally fine. I disliked her talking me through what to do when I knew how to do it. I tapped other and only gave her 15%, that was generous. If she would have paid more attention, the bill and tip would have been more. What I had was good, but I will never go back, as I felt that we did not "belong" in that type of atmosphere due to the poor service.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We sincerely apologize about the service issues you experienced, as this is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and we hope to make this right. Please reach out to our Assistant General Manager, Josh Krane, at jkrane@adahotel so we can rectify this issue.

    Have enjoyed dining here previously but unfortunately this was not the best experience. The bartender was having issues making cocktails, not sure why but the one simple cocktail for our table took a long time to be delivered (our server brought the bottle of wine right away). Additionally the wrong soup was brought to the table and the coffee drinks we ordered to have with dessert took more than 20 minutes and were delivered cold. We did share this with our server when asked if everything was satisfactory but there was a quick apology and that was it. I'm sorry to say I will think again before returning, and I have promoted this place heavily up to this experience.
