    Delicious food! Service was great. We ate inside and it was a bit noisy. Drinks were ok. My Mediterranean mule didn’t have much alcohol.

    I meant to talk to the host before we left… I’ve been to Aba a couple of times just trying to make reservations in general… And every single time the hostess or staff have been extremely kind and helpful… You have incredibly nice people working for you!  today was my first time to finally dine there (birthday weekend)and it was a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to go back!! Alysa Dennett

    Beautiful restaurant and our waiter seemed very nice. I found a worm in my cauliflower dish. I showed our waiter and he took it to the manager. the manager said he would comp the cauliflower and gave us a free dessert. In my opinion, they should have comped the entire meal because it certainly ruined it for me.

    Our server was very slow and didn’t do a great job at all of bussing our table (she would walk by multiple times without taking away plates - she wouldn’t even look at our table when she walked by). We were there almost 2 hours and she only bussed our table once at the very end of the meal. Before that we received our entrees with still having appetizer plates, side plates on the table so the person holding our entrees had to wait for US to move plates and bus our own table. Just felt like the server was purely there to put things in to order and that’s it. Didn’t feel like we were truly being taken care of or valued. This was a birthday dinner so it was disappointing.

    We visited during restaurant week and it was a great way to sample multiple dishes. Our guests, including my Scottish sis in law absolutely loved the experience. The only disappointment was we reserved a table and requested outside seating but the hostess said it would be a 45 minute wait.
