Miss Ada: Reviews & Ratings
Second time here and absolutely amazed again. Everything that we ordered was fantastic and I love the wine program here. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful while ordering. My partner and I sat at the bar and we can’t wait to go back:) Can’t wait to try everything on the menu.
Miss Ada more than lived up to the hype—it exceeded it. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and the service was truly exceptional. Asher was attentive, knowledgeable, and gracious, and one of the managers stopped by to make sure everything was perfect, which really elevated the experience. The food was outstanding across the board. The hummus was impossibly smooth and rich, the falafel perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, and the chicken schnitzel was hands-down one of the best I’ve had—golden, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite felt thoughtful and lovingly prepared. An all-around fantastic dining experience with incredible food, genuine hospitality, and attention to detail. Miss Ada absolutely deserves its reputation, and I can’t wait to return.
Celebrated my husband's birthday and had the most wonderful experience!! Every single bite of food was absolutely delicious. We especially loved the short rib hummus, halloumi skewers, falafel, and pita bread Super friendly and sweet staff as well. They even surprised us at the end with a little cup of gelato with a candle in it. This was our 4th time dining at Miss Ada and we will definitely continue to come back!!
We came as a party of two and are definitely coming back with friends because we’d love to try everything on the menu, especially the dinner options which look amazing. Overall, we loved the experience! The meats were incredibly flavorful and juicy. It was a bit on the salty side for our taste but still very enjoyable. The staff were super friendly and gave us great food recommendations.
I honestly wish I could give the service a 6/5, but I will make do with what I got! My fiance and I came here on NYE to do the pre-set menu of house favorites. The place was decorated so cute and they had little party favors everywhere for NYE. When we arrived, we got seated at the bar even though we made a reservation at the back patio on Resy. When I let the manager know, she was so apologetic about the Resy app incorrectly placing guests into the wrong areas of the restaurant and asked us if she could purchase our first round of drinks to make up for it. No problem! So we are eating dinner at the bar and she kept coming up to us after we were done with the cocktails offering us wine, refills, and even a great dessert wine that the bartender recommended with the babka. When I tell you this is some of the best food AND service i’ve ever experienced- what an incredible way to end 2025!!! At the end we expected to pay for the drinks completely and were told they were all on the house. Shocked and on cloud 9, beyond full, we left the restaurant so happy and a little tipsy. As for the food, obsessed with the hummus and ricotta cheese, as well as the kofta was the best I’ve ever had. Babka was amazing and everything else was so yummy, my fiance never had Israeli food before and was cautiously optimistic going into the dinner I chose, and left saying that was his favorite meal from our NYC trip! Thank you so much to the team of Miss Ada!! highly highly recommend!!!!
Cute and cozy vibe. Food was delicious, the fish was super tender. Good selection of wines and friendly service. Great example of what to expect in the fort Greene neighborhood. Verdict: will return and recommend!
This is now one of my favorite steak and eggs. The whipped ricotta is so good and very similar to Theodora’s though it is served with pita bread. Service was great!
Came here for my friends birthday brunch and we had amazing experience. Service was excellent & atmosphere was warm and inviting. Food was very good and I especially loved the whipped ricotta. Thank you for the babka treat !
