    I don't normally add anything about the special occasion in the reservation notes, but I did this time that it was our 12th Anniversary. And wow, the service we received was waaaaaaaay above and beyond what we have ever received anywhere else. We had multiple workers/managers come and congratulate us. They paid special attention to us. But, from how I could see them treat others around us, they provide this level of service to everyone. I could not be happier with how our anniversary lunch went. The deviled eggs and crab cake benedict were delicious.

    I’ve dined here a few times for dinner but this was my first time experiencing brunch. As always, the food was delicious and the service was awesome. I’d suggest smaller frying pans for the omelettes and more burners & cooks so the wait time isn’t so long for food that really makes it brunch. Since everything else that is served, food wise, is from the regular menu; it would great to cut down on wait times for the breakfast items. Other than that, everything was amazing per usual. Lastly, the passion fruit mimosa….. refreshing, perfectly blended and delicious!!!

    It was as usual, delicious ! Wonderful holiday celebration with old ( literally and figuratively ) old friends . Such attentive service , where waiter ( John) notice that last couple of our party was coming and he opened side door so they wouldn’t have to walk so far ! That was so kind and attentive . Also somehow he knew who was with whom and did separate checks without any of us having to ask !! Made a typically awkward situation disappear ….. and being the only single one , sincerely helped ! Thank you. … we all appreciated it ! Ada’s is wonderful , John was great … but still miss Chris and Rock :)
