We love having dinner at Ada's and being served by Rhonda. She has so much joy when she greets us and elevates our experience because of how she interacts with us. Rhonda is so personable while being efficient and attentive. We enjoyed our grilled artichokes and the award winning clam chowder. Our halibut was cooked to perfection. My friend and I both noticed how the food was still hot when it arrived at our table. This rarely happens at other restaurants. The food often arrives lukewarm but not at Ada's. Even my vodka tonic was perfect! Eating at Ada's was like being with family. We will definitely be back!

Everything was wonderful for my husbands Birthday gathering with friends except for the acoustics and wine menu. The food and service were perfect.

We had a lovely time celebrating my 14 year old's birthday. The food was tasty, the service was excellent, and the bonus candle (but no singing!) on our cake slice at the end was perfect. Would absolutely go again for another celebration meal.

Thoroughly enjoyed Oak Grill. We first sat at the bar and enjoyed a cocktail. Bartender, Jordan was attentive and polite. We then moved into the dining room for dinner, where server Chloe also took good care of us. Salmon and pesto entree was delicious. Burger was generous portion, and the fries were our favorite...crispy and flavorful. The next morning for breakfast we appreciated our server, Jim who seemed to handle the several tables well while also fulfilling the role of host and barista all at the same time. For a "hotel" restaurant, we feel Oak Grill does a solid job of providing an excellent dining experience without compromising quality of service and menu.

Excellent food, friendly service. I saw in another review they got chips from the bottom of the bag. We seemed to too but they were still good! Don’t arrive after 8 or you may feel a little rushed.

Order the spencer steak! The real wood smell of the steak is amazing. The beans, bread, potato, veggies and chilled salad all delish! Oh, and the pickles are so tasty! Monica our server was outstanding! Luv this place!!
