Once again, Ada's hit it out of the park. The black bread was delicious, as were the tuna and chicken thighs appetizers. The filets were cooked to perfection and paired nicely with the roasted carrots. A wonderful experience all around.

Excellent food and service as expected. The waiter was always checking on us which was appreciated. The cowboy ribeye did not disappoint. Hope to come back soon. 😋

We went for Thanksgiving. My dad had the Thanksgiving meal, and the rest of us tried various dishes off the menu... lemmmeee tellll youuu... from the hosts, to the wait staff (Keith-thank you for taking care of us with such kindness), to the chef and his staff, we had such a humble and friendly service. We will definitely be back.

Lovely dinner! Service warm and gracious, atmosphere lovely and welcoming, food and drink beautiful and delicious. We could not have had a better Thanksgiving dinner away from home.

Sarah was exceptional in taking care of us! My cousins were in town from Dallas for the Holidays and were impressed with the food and the location. I love the creativity of the offerings. The unexpected combinations! Everything is excellent! Took a chance on the Chai Creme Brulé and it was wonderful! Always come to Ada's for special occasions and for deep conversations with friends! Its a special place!

Asa's goes out of the ordinary to ensure the best dining experience. Ask for Xavier, the most gracious server ever. I can't wait to go back for the excellent food and service.

The service was particularly outstanding. The kind and friendly server explained patiently and accurately the dishes and the chef's efforts to make it just right.

I went with my Great Niece to Ada's. She had never been to Old Town Alexandria and loved the view of the water from the restaurant. I know she really enjoyed her meal because there was nothing left on her plate. My meal was a crab eggs Benedict that was scrumptious. I would order it again and again.

You cannot go wrong with anything you order here. What I appreciate most is the recommendations made by our lovely server Majesty. She was on the money and honest and not trying to upsell anything. The food was outstanding. The service was outstanding. I'll be back next year as we only come by when we visit family. A most memorable meal. Local oysters is a must, cocktails are on point, the entrees outstanding. The sides to die for. Dessert was lovely. I love that all the food we had (which was a lot) was very light and the flavors were beautifully balanced. I'll be thinking about this dinner for a long time.

Top notch food and service. Had the pork chop, hangar steak and sweet potato side. Chicken thigh app to start. Our server Sarah made great recommendations. Will be back again for sure!

The scallops were amazing! The freshest, most tender oysters I've had in the DMV, crab cake was yummy, the chocolate soufflé...so rich and delicious! Service was amazing. Ambience is always on point. Beautiful experience.

Terrible service. We were there for almost 2 hours. Brought order with allergic ingredients. Brought a desert that was undercooked because the waiter failed to place the order on time.
