    Ada St once again provided a memorable evening of great food & exceptional service. The lamb ribs & sea bass were highlights but everything was incredibly delicious. We look forward to our next visit.

    Veggie dishes were incredible! Octopus was overcooked and didn’t taste great. Really nice staff.

    The food is the number 1 reason to go here. I wish the menu was bigger but I understand that’s why the food is probably so good. Walking in is an experience. Dark (not a bad thing) my only issue was the music could’ve been 1 notch lower to allow for easier table side conversation. My only other recommendation is a Chardonnay by the glass option.

    The food is AMAZING. The carrots are incredible. I highly recommend this hidden gem. It is small and cozy. It could be a little noisy for some, but we didn't mind. The service was great too.

    I wanted the food to be so much better. The ambience is fantastic. But the cocktails are too sweet and the wine by the glass a bit limited. The food was good - eggplant was amazing, pasta was very good, the mussels were fair. It’s close to being an amazing restaurant but not quite there. This was our second time trying as our first experience was similar. We were hoping things had improved.

    First time at Ada Street and really enjoyed it. Had the steak tartar, which was amazing, brussel sprouts and octopus as appetizers. All really well done. The table also had the steak, striped bass and pasta. Again, all really good. The service was great. Will definitely go back!

    If you are looking for a romantic candle-lit spot with some of the tastiest veggies, drinks and shared dishes then you don't want to skip out on Ada Street. They also have a very eclectic taste in music.
