Ok food. Ordered the California Reuben, the turkey meat was abundant...but cold in middle. The sandwich would have been excellent if the entire sandwich was hot. The potato salad was absolutely fantastic and I wish I had bought some to take home. The fries were cold and not really that good. We did have to go upstairs to get to the restaurant I imagine there is an elevator somewhere. To me not really worth the drive from GR to meet my friend. Well I mean my friend was good company!

Philly Cheese Steak replaced provolone with American cheese - Two cheeseburgers with beef patties, cheese, and buns are served on a tray with parchment paper, accompanied by a pickle spear and a glass of water.

Tasty Philly as recommended by a friend. Upstairs location with plenty of seating. Service is quick and friendly.

Two drinks, one in a tall flute with a lemon wedge and another in a short glass with ice, are on an outdoor table with umbrellas and trees.

Awesome spot with yummy choices. Fun mixed drinks. Love you can sit outside when weather allows. Parking o site & nearby.

Fireplace by the bar - A fireplace with a lit fire is built into a wooden wall, situated in a dining area with a table, a glass of beer, and a jacket on a chair.

First time eating at this restaurant this early afternoon; would definitely return!!! First off there is limited parking on the street in front and in back of the restaurant. If you drive south past the restaurant on Ada Dr it's not even half a block to some excellent parking. The restaurant has very poor signage so it's easy to miss. It's up about a flight and a half of stairs, I did not think to check for accessibility, sorry! Totally charming venue, casual great bar feel with wood floors and tables etc. Massive bar against the back wall. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Lady running the counter super nice, young lady who delivered our drinks also super nice, young man who brought us our food not super nice. They got the order wrong, had to be sent back, and we literally got a full in the face eye roll and disgusted look - save it for the cook who got the order wrong, not our fault dude. Normally that level of rude would drop this review to a 1 or 2 star but we weren't here to deal with his snit. We sat comfortably in front of the fireplace. Food was delicious when it finally came. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the view out the windows on this winter day.

Warm and inviting. - A dining table with a menu, a glass of water, and a fireplace in a restaurant setting, with outdoor snow visible through the window.

Had the scallops with risotto last night and strawberry swirl cheesecake-wonderful! Sat by the fireplace which was a bonus on a chilly December night. Mark the bartender was his usual self as was our delightful server Tara.

BLT Sandwich - A person in a green jacket and gray shirt is seated at a table with a large plate of sandwiches, French fries, and pickles.
Michael N.

The food was great, everything was fairly priced for the amount of food they give. I had the French dip and the Au Jus was very flavorful and added the perfect amount of saltiness to my sandwich. The BLT sandwich had a ton of crispy bacon in it, they do not skimp out on the good stuff!! The only reason this place got a 2 star and we won't be back, is because we asked if anything was included with the sandwich.. to which our waitress replied yes chips or fries. But when we got our check, we got charged for our sides, and when I asked she tried to reissue her statement and asked if that made sense to me. I guess it never made sense to me because in the 7 years I was a server, if someone asked if something was INCLUDED it meant it came with the meal. After reading a few other reviews it makes me skeptical why we were charged. If you do come here, just keep in mind nothing actually comes included with your sandwich.

This little coffee shop/bakery in Ada is so cute! They just openend a new location in Forest Hills…read morebut the one in Ada was the first one. I love that the have seasonal coffee drinks, it makes me go in more often to try all the new ones! For Easter they had a Cadbury egg one and a peanut butter latte and I tried both and couldn't decide which one I liked more! You can't go wrong with any of their pastries, I've had the banana bread, carrot cake muffin, cherry lemon muffin, to name a few but they've all been delicious. The decor is so cute with black and white checkered tile and olive green board and batten walls. And the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend if you are in Ada!

Now renamed The Pantry of Ada as they also have another location in Forest Hills. I'm a regular at…read moreboth locations! My absolute favorite Morning Glory muffins and Carrot Cake! Other staples for me: matcha latte, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, curry chicken salad, and kale salad. I just realized the kale salad is meant to be 3-4 servings which explains why it's so large! I usually eat most of it myself It comes with a sweet dressing. Kale, lots of walnuts and dried cherries (?), and a little too much Parmesan. Also delicious: flu fighter soup, cinnamon roll, and they have savory crepes on Saturdays. Follow them on Instagram or Facebook to see the seasonal items and menu items that change every day or week. They also have many heat and serve takeaway meals and special ordering around the holidays.

Great atmosphere, great food, great people. Very spacious but maybe 20-40 tables available…read more If you are looking for a taste of Turkey with the experience, this is the spot. Our host was super kind, helpful with the menu and had a sense of humor. Grape leaves - I believe it was cold if I remember, and it's a softer/mushy texture. The host called it "Turkish Sushi." It was good and different! Appetizers- phenomenal. Fresh, hot, flavorful. We had cheese served on a hot stone, it was beautiful. Nothing was over or under seasoned. Everything was cooked perfectly. Nice fry, nice bake, nice sizzles. Salmon was cooked just right. Calamari was fried great and had a good crunch. Feta borek reminded me of crab cheese ragoons. I love the way it's prepared though, even bites and good flaky crunch. The shell is light and wasn't greasy. Baklava was delicious. Rice pudding was delicious. Drinks were on point. 10/10 will be back again!

We landed at Ford international headed for facilities in Ada and Grand Rapids. Our assistant…read morefigured out that if we stopped in Ada, first, we could enjoy the Zeytin Turkish restaurant. Zeytin serves authentic Turkish cuisine along with other middle eastern and American food. A table favourite was the Pepper Delight. Basically, chopped red and green peppers combined with walnuts and tomato. I highly recommend both the Rice pudding and the Fried calamari. Nice big plate I had almost all to myself. The service was friendly and somewhat attentive. My friend, Darius, ordered the Chicken shish kebab and the pita was dry, cold and stale. They immediately returned with fresh, hot, moist bread. The wait for the initial order and drink refills was a bit longer. The dining area is large, yet cozy. The eatery has a very embracing, warm ambiance and it's a great gluten-free zone. The guy that suggested we stop here eats vegan. 01/26

I absolutely love Little Bird's smashburger and I will die on this hill. It's probably one of the…read morebest burgers (if not the best) dine-in burger in GR and I will constantly come back for this over and over. My boyfriend and I stumbled in during happy hour and were happy to grab some cheap drinks, but the main event was the burger! We typically like sitting at the bar as well and chat with the bartender who was absolutely lovely! The dirty martini was okay but I will definitely order something else next time as the olives just didn't hit for me. It's a quaint and quiet spot - you can read that as intimate - since it's not loud or rowdy, so if you want a really sweet date spot, feel free to check this one out! Otherwise, you can just go and have a casual, delicious dinner. Parking is limited with the street parking and it being so close to Monroe Center but you shouldn't have a terrible time finding something, even if requires a parking ramp vs street parking. I'd just recommend a reservation if you are going on a weekend or don't want to wait/sit at the bar!

This was my first time at at Little Bird and it definitely did not disappoint. However, I now see why it's called Little Bird because the inside is definitely small but that just adds to the ambiance. My husband and I came here for brunch on a Saturday because it's a place we both can eat at (he's not vegan). When we walked in the restaurant was bustling and packed, but we got seated right away by the door which was cool because we could people watch. Our server greeted us immediately and filled our glasses with water. She was nice and answered all of our questions. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with my brunch choices which were the soup of the day, a lentil curry, pumpkin seed combo with tons of good seasoning and cilantro on top...it was soooo good and vegan friendly! For my entree I got the tofu sandwich with the most amazing side salad that had this lemon dressing that set it off right! I could have just had a plate of the salad! Although the tofu sandwich was good, it was a bit on the salty side for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this place for vegan options and I'd come back. Just be aware they don't take reservations for brunch and it's pretty loud, but it's a really cute establishment and I was pleased with the food and service. Give it a try!!!

I had heard that this place had good food, but because the price point was a bit higher than average, I wanted to try it for myself before bringing my family. The service was attentive and friendly. The food, however, did not meet expectations. I found the deviled eggs to be overcooked and a bit rubbery while simultaneously lacking flavor. The presentation was nice but I care more about the taste than how it looks. The Tavern Smash Burger does not seem to know what it wants to be. The patties were thicker than a traditional smash burger, lacking the juiciness of a regular burger while also missing the caramelization of your typical smash patty. The accompanying "Chef's Sauce" for the burger was not particularly flavorful and there was not enough acidic content to counter the fattiness of the burger. The bacon that topped the burger was cubed pieces that were chewy and frankly off-putting, and I found myself wishing for crispy bacon strips instead. All in all, I really wanted to love this place, but I just don't. The food wasn't terrible, but also nowhere near good enough to justify the cost or make me want to stop back in.
