Best Californian Restaurants in Old West Austin

We recently had friends visiting us from Boston, and we decided to take them to Aba for Saturday brunch. Let me just say—what an incredible experience! We made reservations ahead of time, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. We ordered nearly everything from the brunch menu, including dips and hot mezzes, and every single dish was an absolute delight. Everything came out fresh and tasted phenomenal. The muhammara and burnt garlic hummus were crowd favorites. The falafel and Brussel sprouts were made to perfection. The desserts were equally impressive—the sticky date cake was an absolute star, and the cheesecake with its delicate puff pastry crust on top was unforgettable. Although the interior ambiance was exquisite, we opted to sit outside by the bar due to the size of our party and the perfect weather, which added to the charm of the experience. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and courteous, enhancing the overall great vibe of the place. Aba truly delivered a memorable dining experience. If you’re in town, this place is a must-visit! Delicious food, excellent service, and an all-around amazing brunch spot. Five stars all the way!

The location is wonderful and with the Christmas lights everywhere it made it all the more lovely. The fig and prosciutto pizza was absolutely perfect. The drinks were nice, though it would have been nice to have chilled glasses for the Prosecco. Other than that the appetizers were hot and delicious, and the wait staff was attentive and welcoming. We are from Houston and love Misty and everyone there. It was nice to see another 60 Vines when visiting family for the holidays. Nice to see that the quality carries through to their other locations.

We were greeted with a friendly smile, were seated promptly. Our waitress was attentive, respectful, friendly, and professional. Our food arrived quickly, the presentation was superb, and the taste was amazing! Definitely coming back next time were in Austin!!
