Restaurants near Clark Run Nature Area

Ada’s on the River is a must-visit! The entire experience was incredible, from the stunning ambiance to the exceptional food. The open kitchen concept with the wood fire oven added an exciting, lively touch—it was amazing to watch the chefs in action. The food was simply outstanding. The perfectly cooked scallops were a highlight—tender, flavorful, and beautifully paired with the corn soubise, which was hands-down the star sauce of the night. While we enjoyed the trio of sauces served with the hanger steak, the corn soubise stood out with its sweet, velvety flavor. Every dish we had was elevated and memorable, from the vibrant salads to the decadent desserts that ended the night on a high note. The staff, especially our server Abigayle, was attentive and welcoming, ensuring our meal was flawless. Combined with the chic and cozy atmosphere and gorgeous river views, Ada’s on the River is a dining experience we’ll be raving about for a long time. Highly recommended!

Reuniting with a former colleague, I felt satisfied that the menu (gluten-free, etc.) would please her—and it did. The thoughtful wait staff members were attentive but not hovering. We both enjoyed the soups and salads and even lingered over cups of cappuccino. The week prior, I enjoyed a similar experience with another out of town friend. Well done!

The food was just ok for brunch. I was a little disappointed in the cream of crab soup. The shrimp and grits was just ok. But based on previous visits where i thoroughly enjoyed the food, I’m not going to hold this one against them. Service is outstanding, can’t beat the environment. Previous visits for me had the food at 5 stars. Will of course try them at brunch again sometime

Perfect place to enjoy family and great food! We’ll be back for sure! Pro-tip: try the cheese bread with the marinara sauce on the side! That could have been my whole meal and I would have been perfectly happy:)

The service was incredible. The staff were all very kind and polite. However, it was fairly busy and everything was slow. After being seated, it took around 20 minutes to get our drinks (and 50 minutes to get our food). Luckily I wasn’t hungry or thirsty. The server was apologetic and very extremely sweet which made it all great regardless.
