    The outstanding menu items were lamb ragu hummus and the Faroe island salmon. They were both spectacular. We also had whipped feta which was good but not a stand out in the same way as the other two dishes. The service was good and just the right level of attention. I'd definitely go back.

    The side salad on entrees gone. Surprised and not happy more rice was the replacement. All food came out at once instead of server delaying the entree and starts being fired. i guess next time I'll order as I'm ready. Chicken was not cooked properly.

    Customer service was horrible and once we spoke to the manager we see why the employees get away with being disrespectful. I tend to spend my time at soho house and the food at soho is no where near as delicious as Aba, however the customer service is top notch at soho so I’ll stick to that.

    We had a lunch reservation today after not visiting for over a year. The host was quite cold and definitely not what I would consider welcoming but our server was phenomenal. We had the lunch spreads, which were very good, the snapper crudo and the short rib. The crudo was astonishingly small. 3 bites of very thin fish? We each got a tiny bite and a half so it was definitely not worth $20. The short rib was tasty with the polenta but dry without it. Overall, I probably won’t be back but I do understand the appeal of the atmosphere.
