"Dada" French for Hobby Horse, named after the art movement of the early 1900"s
Is located in the historic Tarrimore house. Features American classics and modern dishes, using fresh fish, all natural beef and hand picked produce.
"Great and innovative menu, great service and terrific food. Just make sure that when you book a table in the summer that you ask to sit indoors. Much of Dada's seating is outside and in the heat of the summer it's very warm; although inside was warm also!"

"We went to celabrate my parents 50th anniversary. Though we wanted to sit outside the weather was not favorable. We sat in front of the front window so we still got to enjoy the outside view. The tuna tartar was outstanding and was the perfect recommendation by our waitress for an appitizer to share. The staff was very attentive but in no way did they make you feel rushed. It was a very relaxing meal. The restaurant was a great pick for this evening because it was not loud and we could really enjoy the conversation. The entrees were delicious. Crabcakes were all meat, mahi mahi was a nice portion and the filet was so tender. My Mom loves their apple martinis. This is a must visit when in Delray."

"Excellent food, great variety in the menu, and delicious mojitos. When the weather is nice, dining outside is awesome. Inside is eccentric so don't expect a fancy, sleek decor if thats what you're looking for in a dining experience. The food is really delicious and they have such a variety, there is something for everyone. Service is impeccable."

"If you are looking for a unique restaurant this is it!! Located in an old home in Delray Beach Florida ,we would call the decor - funky. Service is excellent and the menu has something unusual for every taste We love to bring new people here because they always love it and are anxious to return. The banana bread dessert is not to be missed!"

"I have eaten here tree or more times. The food is fair, fancy and fatty. If sauce and fattening food is what you want, this is the place for you. Will never go back!"

"This restaurant was featured on "check please" a local tv show critiquing restaurants. It got a very favorable review and looked like a great old house warm and inviting. My wife and I stopped in and couldn't get a table. Next try I made a reservation, 8:30 was earliest available which proves this place is a hot spot. We arrived to a packed house and had high expectations. My wife had pasta with clams which was bland and still gritty from the sand in the clams. I ordered shake and bake pork chops and was served braised short ribs (waitress error) which were marginal. Outside garden a nice touch but outside of that I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Maybe the edgy theme? Wont come back unless in a head lock."

"Fabulous meal & setting! A bit heavy handed with salt in meatloaf and not enough oil, garlic and cheese in clams pasta. Tasty, original and nouvelle enough to enjoy. Ask your server what's the best for that nite!"

"DaDa's is the perfect spot with wonderful, interesting food options and a quirky atmosphere. Their mojitos are fabulous as well. We've gone with friends and just this past weekend with our son and his girlfriend. She had heard about DaDa's from a friend who lives locally as well."

The service was great from the hostess to the bus boy to the FOOD!. It was delicious compliments to the kitchen. Outside dining was magnificant, and serene. Saw a band prepping when leaving, coming back to listen to band next time."

"We went to Dada on a rainy Monday evening so we sat inside. The decor and atmosphere were very funky, did not appeal to my older parents, but my 18 year old daughter enjoyed the movie playing, and the interesting environment. My Dad had an excellent flatbread with cheese, meat, waterchestnuts, honey and my Mom enjoyed the tomato bisque soup. I had their burrata mozzerella that I did not like and sent back without any problems. The short ribs and flat iron steak were delicious as was the accompaniment of their potatoe/cheese souflee'. My daughter loved her burger on a pretzel roll. The meatloaf was ok, we didn't think it was anything special. Our waitress was very attentive as was the managing staff when I sent back the burratta."

"Our family of 4 had a delicious dinner. We ordered the Crab cakes (99.9% crab, I think), the Chicken Del Rio, Braised Short Rib, and a Rib-eye steak special prepared "Oscar style", which were all very good. For desert we shared the S'mores - also delicious. The only low point was the tomato bisque which was a bit gloppy and tasted like a sauce rather than a soup. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and there is valet parking right behind the restaurant which is very convenient, especially since it can be hard to park in Delray on weekend evenings. We will definitely go again."

"Local friends recommended this place to our group of 4 (in town on vacation). We sat outside and it was perfect. Fun atmosphere, attentive and enthusiastic wait staff, and great food and drinks. We shared numerous appetizers for our meal and will definitely be back next time we are in town."

"I have been to Dada many times but this past weekend was so great. The staff were so knowledgeable about the menu and were honest about their favorites . Our waitress Melissa even convinced my boyfriend who never tries new things to try the Dada dates. Which were amazing. Everything we had was incredible the combinations of the flavors in all the dishes we had were fit for a food network show. Defiantly make a reservation and try this cute delicious spot. Don't miss the pork belly waffle dog!"

"This was a real dining experience. The entire vibe of the restaurant is happy and up-beat. The menu, though eclectic, had a wide variety of selections. The gazpacho soup was delicious and the buffalo mozzarella was the best I have had since my grandmother made it in 1960. The butternut squash ravioli was wonderful and the 7 cheese grilled cheese with tomato soup was outstanding. The only suggestion I would have is "SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT". This is a definite come back soon restaurant."

"The food here was absolutely delicious. There are a couple reasons why I didn't give it an overall 5 stars. 1. We made reservations and we still had to wait about 30min for a table, and 2. The table we finally got was outside with a bunch of smokers which was a major no no for me because I strongy dislike cigarette smoke. Other than that our server was great, food was so good, and we had a very nice girls night out."

"Great experience from OpenTable reservation to hostess. Our waitress Lisa was awesome, very menu knowledgable and just knew how to treat her customers. Food was fresh and unexpected the mojitos were very original and good. We both had fish, my husband was not crazy about his Mahi but I loved mine. Sides were fresh and dessert was Awesome, we had the mango upside down crumble cake... We can't wait to go back"

"I have been to Dadas twice and both times I had wonderful experiences. The food is amazing! Probably the best I've had in south Florida. It's unique and delicious. The service is impeccable and the ambience is lovely. Its a little on the pricey side but definitely worth your money. I would highly recommend this restaurant!"

"We came to eat at this place on a recommendation from a friend that lives only a couple of blocks away. We are both vegans, and hoped to at least get a decent vegetarian dish. We did, albeit the menu is certainly more catered to carnivores. That being said, we mostly enjoyed the scene and the beautiful setting under the old oak tree. The only thing that wasn't much to our taste, was the constant evening traffic on the corner of 1st and Swinton Avenue.
The reception was wonderful, the staff all welcomed our small dog and we were attended professionally. The food did not convince us very much. We felt like we could have cooked it better, so paying USD $65 was a bit of a concern. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a very nice evening dinner at Dada."

"When you find staff that loves their job and you combine that with a great and exciting menu with food that is fresh and wonderful to the taste, DADA is one of those rare neighborhood places that you will continue to return to for regular dining or for that Special Occasion."
