Review


Desert: I have both a gluten allergy and a dairy allergy. I’m accustomed to not having a desert option available. However not only did my server, Juju, remember about my restrictions, Aba actually offers a desert, Halva, that covers BOTH allergies AND tastes amazing. That’s a rare combo! It’s hard to explain but sort of like a freeze-dried butterfingers with Marcona almonds, raw honey, pomegranates, dates, roasted grapes and editable flowers. I give it 5 stars.

Food is tasty but the service is even better! I had a great experience. I sat on the patio with nice views, very relaxing, but inside is equally as nice.

Wine: to my surprise, there were 4 white wines I had never heard of. Juju gave me a taste of each one so I could pick my favorite. 💛 I recommend the Assyriko or the Txakolina.

Dinner: I had the halibut entree. Fish, sauce and broccoli were delicious. I’ll be honest, the bruschetta was refrigerator cold unless it was under the warm fish. However, I think that was just a fluke and Julu handled it well. Thank you!

Aba did well on training their staff to know taste profiles for everything. Julu even warned me that the flowers were editable but might be bitter, so I paired them with dates and didn’t notice any bitterness!

I’d recommend Aba!
