Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Adria is a delightful new addition to the Upper East Side, celebrated for its "exceptional" food and welcoming service. Diners praise the "spectacular" dishes, including lobster pasta and grilled swordfish. The ambiance is both "classic and elegant," with a beautiful bar area. An inviting spot worth revisiting.

    Food was nothing short of excellent...flavors + preparation. Overall great dining experience. If I had to be super critical both pastas came out barely warm and timing between apps and first course was a bit long. I think most people enjoy their food hot...only criticism.

    I feel bad for this place. Great service, wonderful surroundings, but the menu is uninspired and the food bland. It was my second time here. I wanted to go twice just in case my first time was just a mistake. But both times were the same. I was having a hard time getting reservations at other local restaurants the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so have them this second try. And there is a reason why they were the only restaurant that was mostly empty. They need to rework the menu and get a new chef. Add new items to the menu and don’t forget to season the dishes a bit. The competition on the Upper East Side is fierce. Unless there is a rapid change soon, they will not make it 6 months.

    Food was excellent as was the service. Background music was perfect unlike some restaurants where you can’t even hear yourself let alone the people you’re eating with. Overall a great meal.

    The ambiance was pleasant and the service was excellent. However the food was mediocre. The mushroom crostini was bland. My halibut was good but my friends pasta was dry and inedible. The manager was very accommodating and kindly replaced it with pasta in tomato sauce, but it was just okay. Too bad, I had high hopes.

    Amazing new restaurant in UES. Great flavor in every dish. Staff is incredible (especially Luciano) and they work hard to make any dinner/occasion special. Will absolutely be visiting regularly. Thank you!

    What a delightful experience! This new addition to the neighborhood is truly wonderful. The food is outstanding, much better than all the other restaurants around. The ambience is warm and inviting (and not too loud) and the service very professional. I recommend Adria highly. Not to be missed.
