Great for a date or small groups. Decided to drop in for a round of anniversary drinks and ended up staying for the Gluten Free brunch.Tasty food, top notch cocktails, best service! Christian is a gem and made our celebratory day extra special!!As a walk-in we were quoted a 45 min. wait on a Saturday afternoon (2 ppl) but they texted us within 25 min. to be seated. Don't stray too far.Plenty of window shopping/people watching in the area to kill time, or just make a reservation in advance.I found street parking, however the website says you can get a $3 discount at the garage if you validate your ticket with the host stand.We will be back for hummus and Christian :)
Walked in for lunch and was told there is a wait time of 1hr but got seated in 20 mins. The place had good energy, beautiful aesthetics and packed with people.Definitely get the spreads and hummus. The smoky garlic hummus was the best. We also had lamb ragu with hummus and that was stellar too. The soft freshly baked bread baskets kept coming. We were already full from all the bread we ate. We shared a crispy chicken for entree. While it tasted good, I wish it came with some rice/bread to soak up all the broth.Overall had a nice time and will be back for more of that hummus ?
My wife Michiko and I winged it tonight at Aba on a whim. Great atmosphere and vibe both--whether inside or out. We highly recommend a reservation as walk-ins weren't being taken 'till after 9pm (reservations are booked several weeks out most of the time). We ended up at the bar for dinner and loved it! The food was fabulous--and I hate to say it--but under-priced. The cocktails will more than makeup for it--and they're worth it!!! The "Living Easy" was awesome and Conor really made our night--very attentive for a packed, busy bar where we ate too, even timing all of our apps and entrees. Both the crispy chicken and brussel sprouts were our favorites, though everything was pleasing. 5 stars.
The best in town! The service was excellent and the food too!
love the bar plus the range of drinks is amazing.The bartender was great all smiles a total pro??
Fabulous tapas, great cocktails, fantastic outdoor and indoor atmosphere. Service is quick, food is delicious. Decor is imaginative and love how they blend the trees outdoor into the decor.Only downside is the check in process. You leave your name for a table after standing in line, get paged and then stand in line again to be seated. Seems redundant and I hope they find a better method because the place is just a gem.
Great experience, loved the food especially the cocktails
Apologies ahead of time, as I should've taken pics of the main course meal, before we obliterated it...haha. long story short, this is an absolutely wonderful place to eat at. Great energy, beautiful searing inside, as well as outdoor. The food was amazing, and the desert was ridiculously good. I will definitely be back, and will take better pics of the food next time. And also more pics of the restaurant. Highly recommend. Five stars.
Aba is a Mediterranean restaurant in a fancy part of South Congress. Located within new development, it's easy to miss as it's tucked away from the main street. But don't.I walked in an hour before closing on a busy Sunday evening. Despite being full, a friendly server let me sit on the outside patio waiting area and even brought me a menu.I ordered the short rib hummus and wow! The flavors of the homemade hummus with the richness of the short ribs really worked.The space is also stunning inside and out!
Very cute vibe!! The garlic roasted hummus is AMAZING. The Brussels sprouts and cauliflower skewer were also good but nothing to write home about :/ I loved that they had nice non-alcohol drinks tho!
