I think this is the first negative review I have left in 64
I think this is the first negative review I have left in 64 years on this planet. I'm usually an extremely positive person, I mean crazily positive, but this was a genuinely negative experience with no redemption. My wife and I arrived at Ada

Had a really nice lunch here yesterday with some friends.
It was a warmish, overcast day, so we sat at one of their outdoor tables. It's a really nice vibe and very comfortable. The wait staff (Darryl) greeted us warmly and told us about the daily specials. We ordered a round of beers/wine and the
A very good experience at Ada's on the River.
I visited for an anniversary dinner and the accommodations and food were on par. I was a bit disappointed by how much of a challenge the hostess made seating my wife and I early in their dinner operation. On my reservation I requested booth and windo
What a beautiful restaurant.
We came with a big group and the servers were pros. They knew the menu very well and were able to read off options for all diets. I went with the scallops and sweet potatoes (pictured) and adjusted for gluten and dairy free. They removed a sauce from

Drinks and appetizers were delicious and full of flavor! While the steak sandwich was a bit on the dry side, the other sandwiches were outstanding. Service was excellent; attentive, friendly, and they even surprised us with complimentary beignets at
$49 for 4 scallops.
30% increase over past couple months. That's 4 scallops and a few spoon-fulls of corn.
A fantastic evening - food oh so rich, and oh so good
Ada's made our anniversary the perfect evening. First of all: a view of the river that can't be beat. Second, the food was fantastic. It's rich, it's fattening, but it's damn tasty. A kale salad never tasted so good; the most
Ada's is Awesome!
My daughter and I had dinner at Ada's on The River to celebrate her birthday. It was a first-time visit for both of us, and both the food and the service were EXCELLENT! We enjoyed a superb meal that was delicious from start - cocktails and app
Great Food, Amazing Desserts
We decided to come here on the recommendation of a local and we were not disappointed. We absolutely loved our experience at Ada's on the River in Old Town Alexandria! The food and drinks were great but the absolute highlight for us were their d
A great meal but a major glitch in not telling us the exorbitant price of a special entree.
Everything we ate at Ada's was absolutely delicious, including the pre-dinner drink called "The Difference Engine," the special app of tuna tartare and the Maine lobster tail. We will definitely return but we had one major issue that
New Favorite Old Town Brunch Spot
Last month I did a staycation and finally made it to Ada's. What a find. Have been back twice for brunch and it's become a new favorite in Old Town. The outdoor seating on the river is serene and soothing, with plenty of shade from umbre
A friend and I dined here at her suggestion because her first visit was so good. She was right. Not only is the food delicious (they don't even have freezers at the restaurant, everything is fresh) but the service is impeccable (even the staff i
Never as good as I hope it will be
Service was good. Food was mediocre. Octopus covered in heavy sauce and not as charred as would like. Steak quality just ok and again not charred like I would hope from a wood fired. Ordered medium rare and it was a solid medium plus. Creamed sp
Made our special occasion so special
This was a super choice for our special occasion. We had a lovely water view booth. If they were seating on the patio, might not have been such a great view of the water but it was great for a chilly night inside. Roberto was our server and made the
Carlos, you’re a gem! Wonderful team.
I went to a restaurant on the water nearby. The experience was horrible so we decided to leave and come to ADAS. They were able to accommodate our party of 14. The table took us a little longer so the assistant general manager Carlos came out to gree
Good food but terrible service
Good food but terrible service. We were four adults and a baby that made no noise whatsoever but was evidently not welcome by the hostesses. First they put us on waiting list even though there were at least 5 tables available in the main dining room.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ada's on the River Alexandria at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ada's on the River Alexandria page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Ada's on the River Alexandria to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ada's on the River Alexandria!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
