    Amazing and delicious started with the special tomato clam soup. It had a little kick to it, which was a wonderful surprise. Charbroil oysters on the half shelve were perfectly done. Had the scallops they melted in your mouth with every bite. The staff was amazing . Always making sure we were doing great. Definitely be back

    We try to eat at Ada's every time we are in town! The food is always Excellent! This time, we both had the Seafood pasta which has a delicious rich tomato-based cream sauce(reminds me of vidka sauce).... delicious from the first to last bite. My husband also had the wedge salad which did NOT disappoint.... pulled high with bacon, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes..... not the block oficeberg lettuce with 2-3 bacon bits you see at other restaurants. Thank you Ada's for great food and service, as usual!

    From walking through the door to leaving after dinner everything was Exceptional. Seated immediately. Shane was our waiter and was attentive ( without being over the top) through our meal. Helped us with selections. Food was also Wonderful. Seafood dishes, chowder and steak were enjoyed by all. Interesting Cocktails and Lava cake for dessert! Yum
