    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ada's is located in the arts district and the area has undergone redevelopment so now it's trendy and has a lot of character.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a beautiful cozy decor and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We really enjoyed the duck and bone broth appetizer, wagyu hanger steak, cured wagyu beef and the cheese burger.

    tagliatelle + scallop and green garlic
    Lexy M.

    Interesting + unique The menu doesn't give a lot of description of the dishes but I feel like that might be part of the lore. It was suggested that we order 3 dishes per person, so we ended up doing family style of things that we wanted to try. There were 4 of us, and we ordered 5 dishes. The portion sizes were smaller but still plenty to be satisfied. IMO the burger was my favorite. The table's consensus was the ribs were their favorite. They have a seasonal menu so I could be curious to see what the fall/winter looks like.

    We finally checked out Ada's, now in the former Esther's Kitchen location, after hearing someone describe it as being "similar to Esther's." Maybe that's what set our expectations a little too high. The menu is pretty limited, and the portions are on the small side for the price. Unless you're a light eater, plan on ordering several dishes because we were all hungry again a couple of hours later. Service was a mixed bag. Juan was friendly, but trying to get a straight answer about portion sizes felt like solving a riddle. We asked a simple question several different ways and never really got a clear answer, which honestly put a damper on the experience. Food was hit or miss. The pork belly was tender and topped with olives, which worked surprisingly well. The burrata with tomatoes was bright, fresh, and probably my favorite dish of the night. The garlic chile shrimp was also good, although the bread is intentionally served soggy so it can soak up the sauce. The spare ribs were highly recommended by our server, but they didn't do much for us. They were crunchy with more of a five-spice flavor, even though they were described as lemon pepper, and came with buffalo sauce and whipped ranch for dipping. The tagliatelle with baby scallops was just okay--very little sauce and not much flavor. Overall, nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. We shared everything on the menu that interested us and walked away thinking it was just... okay. For the prices, we expected a lot more. With so many great restaurants in downtown Las Vegas, this probably won't be one we'll revisit.

    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

    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

    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]]

    Burrata & Tomatoes. Worth it!
    Jessica C.

    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.

    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. 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.

    Tagliatelle with lemon cream and pecorino.  Lemon lovers rejoice.

    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. Ada's is a good selection, off strip with a great vibe, and innovative combinations by the kitchen staff. 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.

    Recommended by a friend. And holy cow what a lovely experience! The wine/tender (Leah) was absolutely engaging. The wine menu is spectacular, and if you want to go for the food, the cured wagyu beef is stupid good.

    A reason to unwind and enjoy a glass of wine.

    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.

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). So head to the Arts District (where you'll find lots of great everything) and experience a great wine drinking time.

This is a butler style all you can eat small plates restaurant, so people walk around with trays of food and you can pick it you want something. We would get skipped so many times with the food we wanted to try. We just couldn't figure out their system or how they serve the food. The quality of the "more expensive" dishes were lacking. The short ribs were watery. The filet mignon eggs Benedict was tasteless and it was the most thin and overcooked piece of filet mignon I've ever had. The pancakes were cold and thick and dense. The heirloom tomatoes tasted more like regular tomatoes, and the scrambled eggs with caramelized onions and tomatoes lacked seasoning and flavor. So many dishes that were on the menu didn't even come out. The following items were delicious: Bacon and egg flatbread Avocado crostini Mini egg frittata Truffle mushroom grits (although it's bold of them to call it truffle mushroom grits when there's only like 2 little mushrooms. See the picture I included, haha) Definitely wouldn't go back. It's worth the money if you just want to be able to eat unlimited mediocre food. You can definitely get your money's worth if you eat a lot of the dishes, but I rather spend ten dollars more and go to the Wynn Buffet instead.
