We've been to Ada's twice. The first time was fantastic. We came back for Valentine's Day and had a tasting menu. Overall, the food was good. Some of the dishes were fantastic. The service friendly. They were also quite busy--it was Valentine's Day after all.
We did hit one snag though. one of the dishes came out and the potatoes were not fully cooked. We pushed it away and told the server. The server prodded the potato at issue and agreed with our view that it wasn't cooked. Then we heard them giving instructions to the kitchen to ensure that only fully cooked potatoes made it to the tables. It wasn't anything where it would have made us sick. But nobody wants to eat a half raw potato. The meat accompanying it was also very dry. It was a very busy night for them, so it's understandable that they would have some hiccups along the way.
Most of the other dishes were good. They were very busy and after the half-raw potato thing, they seemed to just move on to the next dish. They didn't do anything after realizing they had served us a dish that wasn't right and after taking steps to make sure that other guests weren't served less than fully cooked food.
I don't really know what we would have wanted, but it was an expensive night out and some of the food wasn't up to their standards--and they knew it.
On the whole though, Ada's is good. We'll probably come back for ordinary dinners there, but I don't think I'd sign up for another special occasion tasting menu with them. Maybe they were just overwhelmed and we got lost in the shuffle.
