On the Grid : Ada Street
"This cozy, hip hideaway tucked away down an unassuming ally is ALWAYS packed. The people, food and service are spectacular and the vibe is approachable to the point that you feel like you’re hanging out with a bunch of friends. It's the perfect casual spot to drink beers and play ping pong with a group out on the patio or have a nice date night inside. The menu features an assortment of seasonal small plates and cocktails - some favorites include the “Only Son of a Ladies' Man" cocktail, the grilled corn, gnocchi, and if you're feeling daring, the out-of-this-world-good octopus (beware, it's spicy!). If you're looking to hang out on the patio, get there early, seats get snatched fast! They take limited reservations for inside, from 5:30-6:30, and after that it's walk-ins only. TIP - Browse through their record collection, and if you find something you like they'll play it for you!" - Serafini Creative
