    One of the best restaurant experiences I have had recently! The food and wine was delicious but what truly made it special was Cora!! She was so amazing, knowledgeable, kind, and all around a super star. We will definitely be back and requested to sit with her:)

    Second time here at Aba, and it was just as wonderful as the first! Sandra was our server and she took fantastic care of us. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the food is amazing, but highly recommend the sweet potato spread! The entire restaurant is beautiful, but I love sitting outside here.

    I’ve been multiple times and enjoy bringing friends and family visiting Austin here because the food and cocktails are consistently good. They were able to move my grandparents and I to a quieter section of the restaurant and were extremely accommodating overall. Great service and pleasant staff. It is on the pricy side ($110-130 per person), but the flavors are varied and unusual compared to other restaurants in the area.
