We had a wonderful time here for dinner with the family! Even though it was a very busy and crowded night, the staff was especially efficient and friendly. The food was great and the service was fantastic. The manager we talked to was excellent and very helpful in navigating such a busy atmosphere. We’re excited to go back again and try the rest of the menu!

First time trying the Aba Happy hour food! The spreads sampler gave us a chance to try them all and the Crispy chicken had the perfect crispy skin and heat from the different peppers! Falafels and shrimp were really good. Carrot cake was overly spiced and a bit dry so going to skip that next time!

We enjoyed its convenience to Redtwist Theater. The food was made on site with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the broccoli soup. Our server was delightful and efficient. Atmosphere is sophisticated and comfortable. This is clearly a place where people come both for just a cup of coffee or a nice sit-down meal. Don't be confused by the Julius Meinl signs on the outside. This is not just a coffee shop!
