"Since opening on Old Town Alexandria’s waterfront in January 2021, Ada’s has consistently packed the house and won reviews that justify the bustling scene. Here chef Adil Arghandous serves “giant,” cylindrical crab cakes with creamed leeks, pickled shallots, and a preserved lemon remoulade." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Eater Staff
