    The food was incredible and staff was super knowledgeable and helpful. We were sat ~30 mins late for our reservation and missed the first half of our show. We should’ve anticipated that being the case with limited seating, would just recommend allotting additional time in advance if you have plans following dinner. Overall it was a great experience, we will be back for sure!

    Talk about a quick table turn. Party of 4; in at 8pm, done by 9pm. Our Apps came before the drinks. Highly recommend Carrots, Brussels + Eggplant. Lamb Sausage & Chili Pepper Agnolotti were a disappointment. We dined earlier in Summer, mostly had items from Specials Menu. Ada has not crafted a Winter Specials. Re: drinks, I could get a Manhattan which isn’t on the Menu but not the 7 Devils which was available in the Summer.

    Always a elevated experience at Ada Street from food to vibe to service. The harissa carrots and the Bolognese were on point. Wine selection hits.

    Chicken liver mouse, steak tartare and lamb sausage were all excellent and solid-sized portions.
