    Really really Great food, but our service did not meet my expectations. Besides it being a busy Saturday night we would often not be able to find him. Maybe they were short staffed or something. I wanted to stick up for him but it just kept getting worse. Felt like we were sitting there wondering what would happen next.

    The food here never disappoints. The Japanese Sweet Potato spread and the Baked Truffle Orzo are must haves. Will 100% be coming back. Only small thing is that we got our food before we got our drinks!

    We had a great visit at Aba. We arrived with a reservation and were seated immediately. My date was not able to brush off the cold temperature on the terrace, so we opted to sit at the bar and wait for a table at the inside dinning room. The host staff were very polite and told us of the hour plus wait. We decided to stay at the bar and eat dinner there, though the host staff found us a table within 15 minutes of us sitting at the bar. We dined out often and the bar area is always an option for us, so we didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. Again, the host staff handled the situation tremendously well and we were very happy with the choices they gave us. Now on to the service and food. The bar staff was uber knowledgeable and coursed out our selections, as it was our first time there. We started out with Prosecco before we dug into the menu choices. We ordered Whipped feta, falafel, truffled salmon, and the green chili shrimp. The bar coursed out our choices perfectly. They suggested we get extra bread with our shrimp, and it was the perfect suggestion. All dishes were delicious and flavorful. Lots of depth in all dishes. We also had a cocktail and a glass of wine. Both were good choices. Bar staff was impeccable in their choices for us and we ended our night celebrating my date’s birthday with a carrot cake. Sans licking the plate, we liked it through the last bite. The staff even lit a candle for the cake! Overall, a knowledgeable and patient staff led us through our first, and certainly, not our last visit to Aba. See you soon Aba!

    Food is phenomenal, but every time I dine here, I feel like the staff treats me like an afterthought.

    Dined here to try restaurant and celebrate a birthday. Middle eastern food served tapa style is the vibe. Food was good not great. Pumpkin hummus with warm pita bread was excellent. Hamachi and chicken were good. Crispy potatoes and lamb chops were very good. Drinks were good also. Service is attentive and helpful. Ambiance is nice. Food doesn’t have me rushing back, but we had a good dining experience overall.

    Japanese sweet potato hummus was delicious, but everything else was underwhelming and pretty similar to what you can get at basically any mid-range restaurant. There are much better and more memorable options at this price point. The waiter was also very inattentive. I can't imagine returning.
