    It was as usual, delicious ! Wonderful holiday celebration with old ( literally and figuratively ) old friends . Such attentive service , where waiter ( John) notice that last couple of our party was coming and he opened side door so they wouldn’t have to walk so far ! That was so kind and attentive . Also somehow he knew who was with whom and did separate checks without any of us having to ask !! Made a typically awkward situation disappear ….. and being the only single one , sincerely helped ! Thank you. … we all appreciated it ! Ada’s is wonderful , John was great … but still miss Chris and Rock :)

    When family and friends from out of State come to visit, this is my go to restaurant outside the beltway. Access is easy, great venue at a historic site, wait staff and food is always the best. Ambience; well, you’re dining on many of Martha’s original recipes. Try the peanut soup, it’s delicious!
