The short rib hummus and the truffled salmon were unreal. Harissa Bloody Mary was very good. The Brussels sprouts and the steak and eggs were tasty but nothing extraordinary. The restaurant is so beautiful which really add to the experience. The patio being open in the winter is great, but it could’ve used an extra heater or two in the corners. Overall I am excited to go back and try more things.

The atmosphere and decor of Aba are very nice, relaxing and enjoyable. We really enjoyed just being in the restaurant. Our server was very friendly and helpful regarding the menu. The meal was very good and we were both surprised at how full we were even before finishing the main course. All in all a very nice experience.
