About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Lively
Aba, meaning father in Hebrew, is a Mediterranean restaurant with a California influence. The menu features Chef CJ Jacobson’s modern approach to Mediterranean cooking and the beverage program showcases spirits and rare wines from lesser known Mediterranean regions. Signature dishes include Smoky Garlic Hummus, Muhammara, Shawarma-Spiced Skirt Steak, Grilled Salmon Kebab and more.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: CJ Jacobson

From the OpenTable editors: "Top Chef" star and "Top Chef: Duels" winner CJ Jacobson's modern take on Mediterranean cooking at Aba has earned numerous accolades, including being named the Best New Restaurant by both Chicago Tribune and Eater readers. To understand why, start with spreads like smoky garlic hummus or muhummara before moving on to simple but savory dishes like wood-fired lamb chops with broccolini. A drink list that highlights lesser-known producers and “ancient civilization” wines rounds out the experience.

    Our food was delicious however we were not seated for our 8:15pm reservation until almost 9. We were ordered fairly quickly but waited at least another 30 minutes for that to come out. They were clearly over booked for the night and so service wasn’t great but we enjoyed the food and ambiance very much.
