James Shaw
Dietary restrictions weren’t a problem at Ada’s. Absolutely delicious salads and GF pasta with large portions along with very friendly and accommodating staff made for an enjoyable night out. The food is priced on the higher end, but is deserving of the higher prices. As far as other comments about noise level, we did notice that a bit as well but didn’t find it to be a problem for us. It was a fun atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

If I could give this, 10 stars it still would not be enough. I was greeted immediately, traveling solo, and directed to a great seat at the bar! My dinner was amazing, the waitstaff super attentive, and all at a great price. SHH don’t tell….BEST post pandemic dining experience I have had, superior in every way.

Would have given a 5 star review except Ada’s was LOUD. Something about the acoustics made it an uncomfortable auditory experience for our whole party. The food was delicious comfort-Italian food and the team was very nice and accommodating.

Really awesome food and beverage selection. Staff us friendly atmosphere is great, although it’s extremely loud in there due to vaulted ceilings, wood floors and nothing to absorb the sound.

Probably one of the best Eggplant Parmesan dishes I’ve ever had, the fresh pasta totally made it. Pricey, but totally shareable. Really enjoyed our meal

We have been coming to the area for three weeks in the spring and three weeks in the fall for the past 17 years and we just discovered Ada’s and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was lively and a very up beat vibe. Really, a room full of happy people. Our server, Destiny, was terrific She knew the food, was professional and made us feel welcome. The food was fantastic. Fresh everything! One of our party who has eaten GF all over the place said it was the best GF pizza she had ever eaten! The regular pizza was excellent. Spaghetti and meatballs was delicious and plentiful!! Spaghetti carbonara was equally delicious and stood apart from the usual overly, gloppy and rich carbonara at other fine restaurants. We will be back again and again.
