Our Somm Select Series is here, limited bottles, sommelier-driven finds, and wines that don't stick around long.

This round, Jeff highlights the Big Easy, a bottle that pairs perfectly with any steak and disappears even faster. Rich, approachable, and exactly the kind of discovery that makes you trust the list.

Ask what's available while it lasts. Because once it's gone, it's gone.

We don't make the rules. We just pour the wine and let summer do the rest.

Rosé All Summer continues. The math is in your favor.

The man we all need ✨🍷🍸💖🥂🥃🥹

The man you need is your waiter at Ada's, who keeps bringing out drinks without me asking, knows when to check in, and doesn't judge when I order a third appetizer.

That's true love right there.

I enjoy sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, a plate of something fire-kissed, and absolutely no plans to move for the next two hours.

Nature? Sure. But it's better with a view of the Potomac and a server who keeps the drinks coming.

Our next Wine Tasting Series takes us to Portugal 🛫🇵🇹🍷

Here's how the evening goes...
You arrive. Three thoughtfully selected Portuguese wines are waiting. A white, a red, and a port to finish. Each poured at tasting size, each paired with light hors d'oeuvres designed to let the wine shine.

Our General Manager, Jeff Turner, guides you through it. More than a decade leading chef-driven restaurants and beverage programs across Northern Virginia means he knows his stuff.

And when the tasting wraps? Stay for dinner! Wines featured will be available at beneficial pricing for retail purchase, ready for pickup the following Wednesday.

Immediately hears Hannah Montana sing This Is the Life 🎶

Because that's exactly what it is. Monday through Friday, 3–6pm. $9 martinis, riverside views, and the kind of late-afternoon reset that makes the rest of your week make sense.

This is the life, indeed

A giant steak, perfectly fire-kissed. A smoked old-fashioned, slow-sipped. And absolutely no agenda beyond savoring both.

Some problems need therapy. Others just need dinner at Ada's.

No place I'd rather be than on Ada's patio🌞
Especially this weekend!

June 12–14, when Alexandria hosts Sails on the Potomac as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration. The tall ships GAZELA, KALMAR NYCKEL, PROVIDENCE, and SULTANA will grace the river, honoring Alexandria's role in the birth of our nation.

Music. History. Public art. Family activities. And the best seat in town? Right here on our waterfront patio, where the view includes both the ships and a glass of something cold in your hand.

Reserve your table now. History meets hospitality, and you have a front-row seat.

We were talking about drinks. But sure, you can make this about people too.

But if you found good company along the way, even better.
