    Miss Ada is an absolute gem! Every single thing we ordered was delicious. You can’t go wrong with any of the skewers, although the salmon belly and kofte skewer deserve a special shout out. Order all the dips, I can’t choose a favorite. The whipped ricotta and sweet potato hummus were amazing. Their dumplings Stracciatella is to die for. Don’t skip dessert! And their cocktails are not to be missed. The space is cozy and the service is great. Miss Ada is special, can’t wait to go back!

    I don't usually go to the hyped up restaurants but I indulged my friend this one time since I love Mediterranean food. We sat in the backyard patio which is really not at all a backyard; it's basically an extension of inside with more natural light, it's fully covered. We had to flag down a server to get our order in, which is weird because they refilled our water bottle about seven times during our stay so I don't understand the disconnect between the two. We got our food before we got our cocktails, which is odd, but fine. The mezcal cocktail was okay, nothing special but mezcal is so strong of a flavor it's really hard to mess up. (We unfortunately didn't have time to try another round of cocktails just because the first ones took so long to arrive.) Food wise, the babaghanoush was a miss, but it was the first thing brought to our table: overly pureed to the consistency of babyfood, couldnt taste the eggplant, couldn't taste the smokiness that it's known for either, it was basically just an indescript brown spread. The halloumi skewer was phenomenal though. The stracciatella toast was good but lacked cohesion... It was a mess to try to eat and the asparagus seemed so out of place, a roasted marinated tomato would have brought it together much better. The sourdough was very good though and luckily quite thick bc it got super soggy by the time we got to eating the last slice. Would not recommend this spot. The area is oversaturated with restaurants and this isn't one where the service or offerings warrant spending the $$$.

    Excellent pita and desserts! Loved the steak and salad here. Each of the dips were excellent but I especially liked the hot pita. Great choices of tapas style and sized meats. Excellent wine selection as well.

    Really nice place for a Mediterranean-style brunch. The flavors were spot on—good options and all very well executed. We tried the hummus, the Labneh, the sunny-side-up eggs with feta, the schnitzel, and the meat & potatoes. Everything was delicious; a bit on the salty side, but overall very good. The space is small and can get a bit noisy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. The neighborhood is lovely—perfect for grabbing brunch and then taking a stroll through the park right across the street. Great value for the price!

    I’ve been to Miss Ada a couple of times already and finally leaving a review. The main dining room is quite small, so I recommend the heated patio in the back. It’s pretty warm, more spacious, and a great place to sit. The food is always delicious. The dips and hummus are fantastic, and the pita bread is soft and cut into smaller slices which makes it easy to share. The bluefin tuna crudo special this time was especially good. This visit everything tasted a little saltier than we remembered from previous visits, but overall it was still a great meal. Service has always been consistent and fantastic. Definitely worth being a neighborhood favorite and we’ll keep coming back.
