Ada’s on the River delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. We began with the beef tartare which was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, setting the tone for the rest of the meal. The aged New York strip was cooked to perfection, rich and tender, and the crab cake was packed with delicious chunks of crab. Both paired wonderfully with the thick cut fries and brussel sprouts, which were crisp, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. We finished with the crème brûlée, a flawless balance of creamy custard and crisp caramelized sugar. Beyond the food, the service truly stood out: attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. Ada’s on the River strikes the rare balance of impeccable service and wonderfully prepared food, making it a standout destination for a memorable meal.

Ada’s on River gets 8 out of 5 stars from me! My family and I chose Ada’s to celebrate my dad’s 75th. We had a spacious private room that could seat our whole family comfortably. We had access to the TV to play a slideshow and even our own music. We hired a decorator to customize the space for our celebration. Ada’s staff and management were attentive the whole time and were an absolute pleasure to work with. Now the food?! I replay it in my head like a dream. Every dish was skillfully made and bursting with flavor! Down to the homemade brioche with orange butter! The lobster mac was incredible. The scallops and steak were buttery and made you feel like royalty with each bite. I’m from out of state but I will definitely be back. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Visiting from NC and it was a perfect Happy Hour Bite. We started with mini lobster and shredded beef rolls, brussel sprouts, pimento beignet, wood fire Chicken thighs, and a cherry vanilla old fashioned with a Rosè. The food was great. The rolls were buttery with a seasoned sauce. Lemon infused moist chicken thighs and the most delectable brussels. Its was a quick in and out but our service was great. Amber quickly ushered our food over. The resturant was bright and airy with a great view. Definitely will be back for some outside sitting once it’s warmer.

This restaurant was excellent and on-point from the beginning to the end of meal. And, so was our waiter at my time of visit. The food was tasty and delicious. The staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. Give Ada’s on the River a try!!! I highly recommend them.

Ada’s on the River is one of those places that always feels like a treat. The waterfront setting in Old Town Alexandria is beautiful and the space feels polished without being stuffy. It’s the kind of restaurant that works just as well for a special night out as it does for a relaxed dinner with friends.
The steak tartare is a must. It’s fresh perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Rich but balanced and easily one of the best starters on the menu.
The Lavender Martini deserves its own moment. Light floral and smooth it’s refreshing without being sweet and pairs surprisingly well with both the appetizers and the mains.
A special shoutout to Erlinda, who was a fantastic server. She was kind attentive and genuinely helpful which made the whole experience even better.
Between the food the cocktails and the river views Ada’s consistently delivers a standout Alexandria dining experience. This is a place I always recommend and happily return to.

This was our second time eating here for a brunch date, and it was just as wonderful as the first. Here is why we will be back:
• Top-Notch Service: We ordered a few appetizers, and one didn’t arrive until after our entrees hit the table. Our waitress noticed immediately, apologized, and put in a speedy request to get it out ASAP.
• Gracious Hospitality: We honestly didn’t mind the delay at all (no biggie!), but when the bill came, they had graciously removed the item from our check.
• The Verdict: Great food, classy service, and a perfect spot for a brunch date. Highly recommended!

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary here and can’t wait to come back. Great drinks, amazing service and fantastic food. I think the filet was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. He enjoyed the crab cake tremendously, and we both loved the hash brown pave and Brussels sprouts – seriously, get them both! We started with the chicken thigh app and the flavor was out of this world. Erlinda took amazing care of us and was so kind to us on our special day. We will be back!

We booked this restaurant at the very last minute because the place we originally went to didn’t meet our expectations. Since it was New Year’s Eve and such a last-minute reservation, we honestly had very low expectations. But everything completely turned around once we got here.
From the moment we sat down, we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, well presented, and full of flavor. Every dish exceeded what we were expecting. On top of that, our server Sam truly made the experience even better. He gave us great recommendations on what to order, explained each dish with detail and patience, and was incredibly kind and attentive the entire night.
Thank you, Adas Restaurant, for turning our night around and for not ruining my New Year’s Eve. We left happy, impressed, and very grateful for such a great experience.
