Best cut of meat I have ever experienced. The level of service, quality of food and ambience was exactly what I had expected- and then some. The Manager even stopped by to check on our experience, which is such a nice touch. Will definitely return.

Fantastic experience at Ada Street. Everything we ordered was excellent, from the steak tartare and roasted vegetables to the New York strip and pasta. The cocktails were perfect, and the atmosphere made the whole evening even better. Our server, Taylor, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We’ll absolutely be back!

There were 4 of us so we got to share a nice selection of dishes. The standout was the sea bass risotto with asparagus. Outstanding! The beet root hummus was also a fave.

Lula Cafe NEVER disappoints. I’ve been wanting to try their farm dinner for a while and when it aligned with my birthday AND had wagyu on the menu, I knew it was the perfect opportunity. Seating for our reservation was delayed, but the staff was very apologetic and went above and beyond to make up for it. The hospitality at Lula is impeccable. They checked in with us multiple times and even sent a free appetizer and desserts. They made me feel so special on my birthday and I just genuinely had the greatest time. I’m so impressed with their ever changing menu and delivery on unique farm dinners. Thank you Lula Cafe and the whole team for being the absolute BEST in the game!

A perfect restaurant to go with other people so you can sample all of the dishes as it is a tapas style restaurant. The service was excellent a welcoming . We sat in the outside area, which was lovely. here are some highlights mussels have the most incredible sauce different than any I’ve ever tried and with potatoes in it. It was so good. We had the lamb dish, which was also amazing and as was a Carne Asada. The Acorn risotto was delicious. Everything was wonderful. I just wish we had more room in our bellies. We tried some new wines that were delicious. For the quality of food I thought the prices were very fair. We will definitely be going again
