    Although we greatly appreciated a window table as requested in our reservation, our order was incorrectly delivered causing a wait for my husband’s order and cold food on my plate. Additionally, his $20 fish sandwich lacked flavor of previous visits. There was no check in by server and no mention of him leaving most of plate untouched. Disappointing visit. Will try one more time before going elsewhere.

    We try to eat at Ada's every time we are in town! The food is always Excellent! This time, we both had the Seafood pasta which has a delicious rich tomato-based cream sauce(reminds me of vidka sauce).... delicious from the first to last bite. My husband also had the wedge salad which did NOT disappoint.... pulled high with bacon, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes..... not the block oficeberg lettuce with 2-3 bacon bits you see at other restaurants. Thank you Ada's for great food and service, as usual!

    Service was great. The waitress was wonderful and very attentive. You can tell she'd been there for a while as she could very clearly and beautifully describe the specials. Sadly, that was all that was good about my meal, was the description by the waitress. Ordered their special, which was the fresh halibut. I specifically asked if it was fresh and not fresh frozen and I was guaranteed that it was pulled directly from the Pismo ocean and it was fresh. The fish had a bit of a fishy smell, more than fresh fish should have but what was really terrible about it was that it was very overcooked. The au gratin potatoes looked and tasted like they had been cooked in five pounds of butter. I didn't see any point in sending it back and having them make me another one as the next one could have been undercooked or overcooked as well and I didn't feel like spending hours sitting at the table. I ate some of it only because it was a very expensive dish. I live 3 hours away so calling them to say anything to get my next meal on the house would be pointless. Won't be returning.

    This is a gem of a restaurant in Pismo Beach. High quality food, well prepared, great service. The mussels were great, they have a very interesting sauce, one of the best we have tried. The fish tacos had great taste.
