    Whipped Brie with blackberry and honey
    Cynthia H.

    I've been fortunate enough to enjoy several meals at Ada's, but this was my first visit (on 4/29/26) to their new location in downtown. To be honest, my party of two had already imbibed a flight of beers at CraftHaus across the street AND eaten a basket of their loaded tots, so we were kind of already full before we decided to pop on in for more food. - Whipped brie with blackberry and honey: smooth, dare I say light, sweet, creamy, served with triangles of toasted brioche... this was a delightful dish. We ended up running out of bread so the waitstaff generously brought us another round. - Lemon pepper pork ribs + house ranch: GET THIS! I was kind of stuffed by the time this dish came out, but the ribs were FALLING OFF THE BONES and the ranch was the perfect dip for them. SO freaking flavorful. - Mick's royale with cheese: I am a huge fan of burgers. The waiter confidently told us there isn't a better cheeseburger in town, and I think he might have been right. It was GIVING everything one would want in a hearty burger. Meaty, juicy, crispy edges, cheesy, saucy. DELICIOUS. I can't wait for my next visit, except next time, I'll make sure not to pre-eat beforehand! ;D

    A reason to unwind and enjoy a glass of wine.

    Our first time at Ada's was when it was at Tivoli so I was pretty excited to check out the new location in downtown. Definitely did not disappoint. The service was amazing. Our server Ji was great. She was super friendly, very helpful w the menu & attentive to our table. Dealers choice- can't pick a drink from the many options, then leave it to the bartender. Tell them what you like and viola. A few of us opted for this and we were not disappointed. Mine was delicious. A yuzu, mint vodka surprise! Shrimp, garlic & Chile dish - absolute must try! Whipped Brie & Brioche - omg yummy Cured Wagyu & Beef fat - just tasted like charcuterie meat, I'll pass next time Duck & bone broth - it was good but maybe not something I would order next time Mistake Mushrooms - totally different & delicious Oysters - always a must Mint chocolate ice cream sandwich- best way to end the meal

    Burrata & Tomatoes. Worth it!

    I've had this place in my list for awhile and found the perfect opportunity when bestie came into town to celebrate our birthdays together. We had dinner reservations elsewhere but dropped in as we hopped around Arts District for Wine Tasting. We had just missed happy hour but got lucky enough to snap some open seats at the bar. It was perfect. We ordered some glasses of wine and a few apps...The burrata and French fries were fantastic. Bartender was very knowledgeable about the wines and made our 1st experience at Ada's our favorite of the weekend (and that says a lot because we visited quite a few restaurants). We will most definitely be back and hopefully for a full meal if the apps we tried are indicative of the quality and flavors in their other dishes...which I am confident they are. There aren't many tables, so highly recommend making reservations.

    This was my first time to their new location since relocating--I'd been to their previous location in Tivoli Village many times! We were blessed with a wine savvy server who recommended an amazing bottle to us, but honestly all of their staff are somms, so excellence is par here. Food here is served similar to tapas--smaller plates to share and enjoy. We went with some cured wagyu, tuna tartare, halibut with harissa and carrots, and PEI mussels in a garlic coconut sauce. I couldn't eat the halibut because the sauce was just a bit too spicy for me, but the rest of it was all delicious!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor in their old location was honestly better in my opinion. With that said, it's still cozy here, just with darker hues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A fantastic dinner or date spot if you're seeking great wine and great food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ada's Food and Wine Bar is now located downtown in the Arts District. Inside are TWO wine bars with one of the best award wining wine menus offered anywhere. Food is the other thing that is offered here. They offer an interesting menu of small globally inspired sharing plates. You are waited on by the staff that works as a team. We sat in the main dining area at a traditional table. The chairs are worn and you sink into them. They are also close together. Maybe too close because when a server got in-between my seat and the next table I had to move my elbow in or it would be on that person. We tried four plates. I felt differently about the plates. Mushroom Plate with miso fondue was amazing. Beet Plate with (non-traditional) salsa matcha was good Halibut and Carrots with (non-traditional) harissa was very good with perfectly cooked Halibut (that doesn't happen too often) but the harissa was so non-traditional that I feel it isn't harissa and is more a spicy creamy rich sauce. Tagliatelle with lemon-cheese cream was cooked perfect but was so over salted that I was not able to eat it. I have no idea on how my husband ate it. He said it was very salty to him but he ate it anyway. Someone did check on us and I did tell her that I wasn't able to eat the pasta dish because of how salty it was and she really was as nice as possible and did offer to get me something else but I also had the halibut plate to work on so I didn't want another plate. I really wanted to try another plate but was too full to get another plate. A manager checked on us and asked how everything was and we did mention on how salty the pasta was. She was as nice as can be and offered to remove the pasta dish from our check but we refused because my husband did eat the whole plate so we thought that we should pay for it. Parking is hit or miss but usually isn't too bad here in the Arts District and cost $7.00 for around two hours.

    Wine flights!

    I was so happy to see Ada's moved into the old Esther's location! Tbh I heard great things but rarely make the trip to the west side. Now that it's in the Arts District I can see myself going all the time! First of all they have an Amazing wine list. It's even a James Beard awarded wine list, and I can see why. My favorite part was the Somm picked wine flight. 4 (small-ish) glasses of wine for $35. You literally can't beat that. Especially when you have a wine list that's really hard to choose only one. Because of the Somm flight, I was able to try a dry royal tojkai. I didn't even know that existed as a wine and had only had the sweet kind before this night. The food is to die for. It's a James Trees restaurant so you know it's going to be good, and the Chef here is doing amazing things. We tried a ton of food and everything was perfect. Our surprise favorite was the whipped Brie. We ordered a second round it was so good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a perfect start to a night out, or a nice date night to come in, get the wine fight and some whipped brie!? I can't imagine anything better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Tagliatelle with lemon cream and pecorino.  Lemon lovers rejoice.
    George E.

    In Vegas again, strong suggestions from people in the food industry to try Ada's in the Arts district. We made reservations and they were fairly crowded for a Wednesday night. Great wait staff who advised us next door was a free wine tasting and if we wanted to slip over before the appetizer came they could hold the appetizer. A very nice touch. The menu is small plates with very interesting pairings and the dishes flying by our table looking beautiful. Prices are very reasonable especially when coupled with the quality of food. We are going to be good tonight and not over-order. The PEI mussels in coconut broth with grilled bread, thinly sliced cucumbers and onions, chives and a hint of chili oil was awesome. It was almost a deconstructed traditional order of mussels in a perfectly savory broth. Homerun! The shrimp cooked in butter, garlic and chili oil was served over a wedge of delicious grilled bread that soaked up the uncious sauce. The dish was very salty. Our final dish was the tagliatelle with pecorino and lemon cream. It was similar to an Alfredo but dryer. The cheese was good but a bit overwhelming. I loved the lemon cream while others thought it was a bit bold. A small contrast to break up the cheesey taste would be to add a small amount of toasted bread crumbs and adding an additional texture to a cheesey entree. The menu is intriguing with many unique combinations and other selections I'd love to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ada's is a good selection, off strip with a great vibe, and innovative combinations by the kitchen staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With two minor hitches, it should be added to you must investigate list. To Ada's, very nice job, you are never going to make everyone happy, but a great product, thank you.

    Pasta with scallops
    Marjorie S.

    Dinner at Ada's was a great experience. The whipped Brie was amazing as well as the Halibut and pasta with scallops. There's an extensive wine list as well as a mystery wine if you're up for a surprise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere and great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Shrimp and Grits
    Jen C.

    Came upon Ada's for brunch and was pleasantly happy with my meal and the service. The decor is very boho with lots of fun things to look at. The restaurant itself is tiny but seating is quite comfy. As for the food, I got the shrimp and grits. It was all well seasoned but I found the grits combined with the sauce to be a bit too salty. The shrimp could have been a bit more delicate as it was a bit overcooked. Their sourdough is where it's at with a crunchy texture, lightly salty buttery exterior and good flavor overall. We got tea and they brought out a box to pick from and boiled the water in the back. We look forward to returning to trying the wine list that looked extensive and something they are known for when they move to their new location next month in the arts district in the old Esther's kitchen building.

    Sat at the bar for a bite to eat + conversation! Sad to read they are leaving Tivoli at the end of the year! Bummer! It's been a good spot to meet friends & family! Beautiful restaurant decor, nice people and food great always! Service great as well! Love their place settings, interesting menu and wine / beverage choices. You'll be missed when you move but wishing you the best wherever you end up!

    Wine flight
    Talia S.

    I loved my experience here! I didn't have a chance to try the food, but the wine was fantastic! I went for a wine tasting and was able to do a wine flight. It was very exciting because I could choose for them to select a mystery taste for me. I love trying new things and this brought me out of my comfort zone. The wine taste were great. The staff was warm and friendly. They really wanted us to enjoy our experience and if they could tell a wine wasn't our favorite, they did what they could to help us find something we did like. It was great to find somewhere to try some because it's almost impossible on the north side of town. I'm sad they are moving to a new location. I'll have to enjoy it while I can before they move!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my favorite spot downtown[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], chefs Jackson and Mick are always serving amazing food and it's such a good addition to DTLV. The wine is always amazing and curated thanks for Cat and their bartender Danny always makes us such well-crafted cocktails. This is the perfect fit for the former Esther's space.

The touch of masago was 10/10 paired with the waffle and cream sauce! Ugh my fav truly. Next we got the Brushetta and my partner loved it. He said the tomatoes were delicious and paired well with the bread and sauce it was marinated with. I did try a bite even though I'm a tomato hater but man you can tell the tomatoes were fresh. I had a piece with no tomatoes because I loved whatever was on top as whatever the tomatoes were marinated in! Next came the Sausage Rolls and man were they delicious paired with their homemade cheese dip! I don't think I'd get again because it's quite heavy with the wine but def glad I tried. Lastly was the Chef's Tasting Board... this was so good. You could tell the cheese and meats were fresh and paired very well all together.

An oenophile, of course. A foodie (even though there is no food other than what you wish to bring in), ditto. Shannon and company have put together my ideal wine bar. The selections-- Ever evolving, classic styles to low intervention, as long as it is in service to the grape juice, that's what you'll find. Take a moment to listen to what they can tell you about the offerings, which come by the bottle, glass and 3 x half glass flights. A large room with various types of seating areas (including a private area) for different group sizes and feels, including a u shaped bar. Almost like a coffee shop but very modern and sleek. You can see much of the cellar as well. Now I only know Garagiste as a frequent visitor to Las Vegas but each time I'm there, there are locals picking up their wine club selections or hanging out. The soundtrack for me is great (heavy on 90's/2000/2010's adult alternative). And each time, I find one it two surprises. There's a Happy Hour which discounts glasses (plus you get a nice skewer of manchego and chorizo).

For two people, our bill came to $420, which set very high expectations. To make matters more disappointing, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill, even though we were only a party of two. I didn't notice anything indicating that beforehand. Based on our experience, I felt the service was closer to 15% than 20%. The biggest issue was that almost every dish was overly salty. Oxtail Hummus - Probably our favorite dish. The hummus itself was flavorful and wasn't overly salty, but the naan was just okay. I was hoping for more texture with crispy edges. Bánh Cuốn - I appreciated the creativity of the dish, but the rice roll was surprisingly hard and chewy in the center when bánh cuốn should be soft throughout. The sauce was also very salty. Wood Fired Lumina Lamb - The lamb itself was good, but the nước chấm was extremely salty. Spanish Octopus - The octopus was cooked well, but again, it was overly salty. Snapper Tostada - Good, but nothing particularly memorable or unique flavor-wise. Rabbit Dan Dan Paccheri - I loved the perfectly al dente pasta, but the sausage was far too salty. Coal Roasted Dry-Aged Dorade - The crispy skin was excellent, but overall the dish didn't wow me. Oysters - The raw oysters had interesting flavors but leaned salty. The grilled oyster was my favorite of the oyster selections. The staff was genuinely friendly, and I appreciated that they were attentive about clearing and replacing our plates throughout the meal. However, the pacing of the meal really slowed down halfway through. We were there for almost two hours, and our dessert took at least 20 minutes to arrive. In fact, our check was brought to the table before our dessert, which felt odd. Las Vegas has an incredible dining scene with so many amazing restaurants. For a meal that cost $420 for two people, I expected something memorable. Instead, most of the dishes were overwhelmingly salty, the pacing was slow, and the overall experience simply didn't justify the price. I really wanted to love this place but I left feeling disappointed.
