Turns out we landed at Ad Hoc on Fried Chicken Night, which is the first and third Monday of each month. Our waiter informed us that this was the only 'set' meal served at Ad Hoc, otherwise the four course prix fixe varies on a nightly basis. That being said, it was the most expensive fried chicken dinner we've ever... more

The food is good but does not even begin to compensate for the absurdly bad service. Our waiter was beyond arrogant and rude. After speaking to a few local people about the disappointing experince we had, they all acknowledged that this was a common occurrence. With so many great options for dining, I would suggest spending your money elsewhere. Redd... more

I can't completely fault this restaurant, because $49 for a 4-course meal is not a sky-high price. Also, the server I had (named "Dan") was a pretty mellow and affable guy, who did a good job of representing the "professional-but-laid-back" vibe they are aiming for here. However, I can say that I was hoping this, my 2nd Thomas Keller experience,... more

Definitely more casual than French Laundry but tasty. The food is served family style and they have a set menu. Our first course was a wedge salad. I'm not a fan of wedge salads because iceberg lettuce is so pedestrian and chopping a head of lettuce in quarters seems the ultimate in laziness but I did enjoy the freshness of... more

Another Thomas Keller homerun...dont even think about it...GO, you'll love it. more

It's still $49 for a 4-course prix-fixe. Our dinner was a salad (artichoke hearts, chick peas, and green olives over frisee), main dish (flank steak/medium rare, over asparagus and a few pieces of fresh sardines, with a side of some kind of Japanese onion that I am not familiar with - but tasted great!), cheese course (a blue cheese with... more

My husband and I went to Ad Hoc for the first time recently and loved it. If you are open to trying new/different things, it's a great place to eat. The nicest thing about it was that you didn't have to think about what to order. The meal is a fixed four course meal each night. All you have to... more

Thomas Keller's wonderful effort to recreate "homestyle cooking" except by the finest chef and kitchen teams in America. I llove to go for the southern fried chicken. Southern? South of France maybe. EXCELLENT! more

I expect a lot when Thomas Keller's name is on a restaurant - this is not up to par. The night we dined the meal was Kobe style tri tip beef - way too fatty. The cheese course was the best of the 4 courses. The food was not all that great and the service was lacking. For $50 a... more
