About this restaurant

Dada takes its name seriously, using its colorful ambience and irreverent culinary creations to give a playful nod to the art movement it is named for. Appetizers include the grilled brie with toasted ciabatta bread and fruit, and the watermelon brulee "steak" salad with feta and basil pesto oil. The simple yet inventive culinary spins continue with house entrées, such as the Indian vegan stew, the blackened redfish in herb brown butter, and the seven-cheese grilled cheese served with tangy tomato bisque. Dada also makes an adult version of the childhood favorite, s'mores. Graham cracker crust layered with chocolate mousse and marshmallow meringue make for the perfect end to your meal. Dada makes playful meals in its artsy eatery, which includes beautiful patio seating and live music playing on certain nights.

Sunday brunch 1:30 pm. I told the waiter I was allergic to garlic and onions, he said I could only have one entree - the American breakfast - eggs, toast, and bacon. I asked about several other options that would seem to work - NO -only the American breakfast. 45 minutes later, I got my eggs and toast. no bacon. I asked where it was and he said I couldn't have it. REALLY??? Bacon??? I asked why he didn't tell me that before. He said he didn't know. I said "this is pathetic - I could have stayed home and scrambled myself an egg. You could have at least sliced a tomato or avocado and dressed up the plate." he replied - well you didn't ask for a tomato or avocado... Could I have some jelly or jam for the toast? No, they don't have any jam or jelly. 10 minutes later, the manager comes out and offers me a bowl of strawberries. Really - you want me to smash the strawberries onto the bread? Besides that, it only took me 5 minutes to eat the scrambled egg. So, needless to say, I won't be going back. To their credit, they took the charge off of the bill. I eat out 3-5 times a week so I know how restaurants handle the allergy I have. The typical response is: if there is something on the plate that I can't have, they substitute something else that I can have. Really - that is not such a difficult concept to grasp.

Been going to Dada 3-4 times a year for the last 3 years and always a great meal. The Dada dates are the best!

Place has a super cool vibe.....outdoor seating is very chill. I did however feel the service (in regards to ordering) was rushed as well as the food was rushed out. All 3 of our appetizers and entrees came withing 45 min, and just a couple min after that we were being asked about dessert. With the food coming out so fast....you feel obligated to eat faster, and that simply is not enjoyable. I not only came to eat, but to talk, enjoy the evening out. Food was good, but I probably won't return because quite honestly I didn't enjoy the service at all.

At one time Dada was one of our favorite restaurants. However, we had not gone to Dada for about 2 years because the menu was not good. But we were delighted that it is back to its former grandeur! It is again a favorite. Try the bacon strips - YUMMY!

Stumbled across this gem of a restaurant and can't wait to go back. A menu just for Mojitos? Awesome! Dining outside with the candles glowing and great music playing really helped set the mood. Our waiter, Gustavo, provided superior service; his attentiveness and recommendations were spot on. The food was an eclectic mix of familiar dishes with an imaginative twist. We shared 3 apps (bacon sticks, grilled Brie and carpaccio), the maple glazed salmon entree and banana bread dessert; all were excellent! Prices were reasonable and management makes sure your needs are met (thank you, Walter). We didn't want to leave and look forward to dining here again.

I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my meal. There were 3 of us that split 2 appetizers, and I loved them both. My entree was delicious from my first bite to the last, and it took tons of willpower to not finish my dessert too. We ate inside because it was hot out. The restaurant was charming but a tight squeeze and noisy. I would definitely go back again.

Great ambiance and excellent food! Cheerful and helpful wait staff delivered wonderful and creative menu items. Outdoor tables were comfortable and easy to access. Never rushing but always available, the service staff really delivered, and the playful and varied menu choices were at a high standard of quality, size, and value. A treat all around.
