Should you book at ad hoc?
When you book at ad hoc, you just have to accept that it’s not a typical restaurant. It’s family style and the menu is going to be what it’s going to be that night. That means you might love it if what’s being served happens to include stuff you love and that you might think it’s only okay if the menu that night just isn’t your thing.
