    Aba is a very enjoyable dining experience. Both indoor and outdoor areas are beautiful and very welcoming. I actually prefer sitting outdoor, but if it’s too hot indoor would be just fine. The last few times I was at Aba, Travis was our server, and he is terrific. He actually remembered what I drink- blew me away! And the food is delicious- among my favorites, crispy potatoes. The only dish I did not care for was hamachi. But I guess I should know better than ordering Japanese in Mediterranean restaurant. Overall- I recommend and will return!

    Excellent food with nice presentation. Service is very good except for one server who reached across me to serve my neighbor. Very much like a real French bistro. Outside was too noisy, more comfortable inside. I would prefer French music like Edith Puaf or Jacques Brel rather than American pop. A bit pricey but very good quality.

    Excellent locale inside a 5 star hotel, The St Regis Bal Harbour FL. The ambiance is chic casual. The service was superb. The all you can eat buffet belongs as a stand by itself five star restaurant menu. The presentation of the food is "instagramable". Highly recommended.
