    This was not our first visit to Aba, but the first in the main dining area. We have visited in warmer months and love the patio area. Ambiance is great!

    Exceptional experience from beginning to end. The ambiance/vibe captures you at the elevator up. You walk in and are greeted by smiling faces and great service. Sean was fantastic! He is truly a jack of all trades and knows good his stuff. His recommendations were spot on. Celebrated my birthday and it was perfect, but we will be back for a date night.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Aba. The truffled salmon, braised short rib, and green chili shrimp were all highlights. We also loved their zero proof cocktail options! Only one NA beer which was fine, but would love to see a few more options for non-drinkers. Service was great. Only disappointment on the food side were the Brussels sprouts, which were mushy, and the sticky date cake, which tasted almost burnt.

    Not a single worker came to our table for at least 30-45 minutes. And then the hostess came and took our food and drink order. Our food came out later and still no drinks. We had to ask maybe 2-3 times about our drinks which finally arrived when our entree did. Every worker that came to our table was very kind. It was an unfortunate situation of no organization. We did not have a waiter/ess the entire dining experience. For how this is a more expensive/luxury restaurant, in which we had a reservation 2 weeks in advance, we’d expect maybe even someone to come and check on the table a bit sooner. Especially considering our reservation was at 4:30pm for only 4 people. It was not super busy (the restaurant is always quite full) but still it seemed no one was assigned or made aware of our table. And then when food for the entree arrived we were missing an entire meal for one of the People eating with us. The food tasting average-good was the only somewhat saving grace. It is just hard considering everyone was kind but nothing was organized. Even when a box was asked for at the end of the visit it took at least 30 minutes for someone (who was not anyone who had previously helped us) was able to grab one quickly for us. I’m just disappointed since this was a celebration dinner and it caused more frustration than happiness or relaxation.

    Dined at Aba to celebrate a couple of birthdays and Aba did not dissapoint! The food, service and ambience were perfect for our celebration! Our server was outstanding, friendly and attentive. They never skipped a beat with the timing of our dishes and we never felt rushed. The whipped feta was a hit and the lamb chops were to die for. Save room for the sticky date cake...OMG!!! Delicious!
