***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.

The food at Ada's never disappoints. We had the kofte and the ravioli this time. The beef in particular was extremely well seasoned and tender. I'm also a fan of their muhammara. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

As always love the food. We took friends who had never been here and were so excited about the menu online they reviewed before they got here. Was worried when we arrived only two other tables were full but by 8 pm the place was almost full which made me happy. We don’t want to lose this neighborhood gem!!!

Delicious appetizer dolmas which came with a surprisingly spicy sauce. Beef kabob main hit the spot for me. We capped it off with baklava + profiteroles for dessert, leaving full and happy.

A warm welcome and a charming environment set us on a path for a lovely dining experience. Four of us went with all appetizers to share, all terrific. We had their pistachio baklava - excellent. They were out of decaf coffee which was the only miss.

Great service. The table for 2 I was seared with is a tiny bar table. Best for sitting for drinks instead of dining

Wonderful Turkish fusion food - the scallops a hilight on the menu. Linguini di mare often suffers as an under seasoned dish but was pleasantly balanced and flavorful at this restaurant. Their tasting menu was wonderful and began with an excellent tomato based spread with bread and ended with wonderful choux pastry. Turkish coffee was a delight, and was served with some delights to my surprise. The night we went featured a group doing karaoke that was really loud. I could not have a conversation with my parents who were sitting across from me. We have been there before and it has not been an issue, so I believe it was a one off event. I would happily return again, but I might call ahead to ensure there is no event happening at that time.
