Our evening was delightful. The service was excellent. And best of all, we were given the quiet table that we asked for.

The service and food were excellent. The only drawback - and it seems like I am nitpicking because it is not a huge deal - is that the selection of beers was not very good. They had quality beer but it was beer from Italy and no recognizable beer names or any light beers.

First time here. Perfect place. Up to date decor without being overly modern. Best beet salad. Instead of the usual feta, it was done with pesto. Both pastas were excellent. Very lightly olive oiled and perfectly cooked. Broccolini on the side was also perfectly cooked. Apricot tart to finish was excellent. Reasonably priced wine list. Service was attentive without being over the top. Could not ask for more

Loved everything about this restaraunt. We live in the neighborhood and we're very sad when the prior establishment closed as we patronized it. But Adria did not disappoint. The renovation and warm feel certainly was a positive move. That combined with friendly welcoming , excellent service ( loved our server ) and quality food was what we were hoping for. The one thing we would, however , like to see is a couple chicken dishes on menu. And a choice of vegetable or similar along the center entree. It seemed very bare. And the cost was not cheap. All in all , we will be back and we thourely enjoyed. Thank you Geri Cantor
