Ada's on the River

American restaurant · Waterfront

"A power lunch, perhaps with a martini or two, is what Ada’s dining room is best for. But we also come here to sit outside, because, as its name implies, the restaurant has stellar waterfront views. Unsurprisingly, the menu is seafood-focused, and they’re known for their jumbo leek and shallot crab cakes. And while those are excellent, don’t confine yourself to their signature dish—the seared tuna with avocado mousse, grilled kale salad, and open-hearth cooked steaks are equally delicious." - madeline weinfield
