Restaurants near Lee Fendall House

Four of us met to celebrate a retirement at Ada's and the evening couldn't have been more perfect. We were greeted warmly, and the hostess accommodated our request for a comfortable table where the noise level wouldn't be overwhelming for my 90 YO mother. We were seated at a booth with a gorgeous view of the river, where the noise level was lively but not too much. Our server was friendly and professional, just the right amount of attentive. I had taken a fall on the ice leaving my home, and he kindly had a bag of ice sealed in a take-home bag for me to keep on my injured knee. So off to a great start, and everything just got better from there. The food was delicious. We had the swordfish, crab-stuffed trout, large crab cake with carrots and sweet potatoes as sides. We shared a soufflé for dessert--it was large enough for the four of us. All the portions were generous--two of us ate our fill and left with enough for dinner the next day. I've been to Ada's many times and my guests, none of whom had been before, now have it on their list of Old Town favorites.

This place is close to our home so we have hopes for it. Tasty cocktails and excellent fries with our sandwiches. $5 beer is a winner. Need more vegetarian options. Maybe a veggie burger?

We celebrated my Birthday there. The owner sat us and explained some cocktails and dishes. Our server acknowledged my Birthday. Was nice and patient. Received our cocktails. The gin cocktail and pistachio martini could have been less sweet but were pleasant. The Appetizers were wonderful and our entrees delicious. Will highly recommend the restaurant and will visit again.

Went here for my brother’s 29th birthday with family and it was perfect. Very nice spot with friendly staff, great drinks, and delicious food. $48 filet was up there with the best steak my mom has ever had, and everything else was amazing as well. I would recommend this restaurant packed with history for any nice occasion.

Another excellent Christmas Eve at A La Lucia. We will miss this place— thanks for the memories and wonderful food!
