    The food is AMAZING, the service was impeccable! The reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars is because they cram so many tables in one room that you’re so squished! You’re so close to people you can hear everyone’s conversations around you and so it’s loud in there and feels rushed. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but it feels busy in there and so you can’t really enjoy and relax. Also, the tables are super small, but the menus are huge?

    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.
