Excellent experience! Food was amazing. Amy was wonderful serving us & everyone accommodating vegan diets. Luke did a superb job with cocktails. We couldn’t be happier & will be back. Thank you all!

We recently had friends visiting us from Boston, and we decided to take them to Aba for Saturday brunch. Let me just say—what an incredible experience! We made reservations ahead of time, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. We ordered nearly everything from the brunch menu, including dips and hot mezzes, and every single dish was an absolute delight. Everything came out fresh and tasted phenomenal. The muhammara and burnt garlic hummus were crowd favorites. The falafel and Brussel sprouts were made to perfection. The desserts were equally impressive—the sticky date cake was an absolute star, and the cheesecake with its delicate puff pastry crust on top was unforgettable. Although the interior ambiance was exquisite, we opted to sit outside by the bar due to the size of our party and the perfect weather, which added to the charm of the experience. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and courteous, enhancing the overall great vibe of the place. Aba truly delivered a memorable dining experience. If you’re in town, this place is a must-visit! Delicious food, excellent service, and an all-around amazing brunch spot. Five stars all the way!

It was our first time dining at La Riv and we were pleasantly surprised as our dinner exceeded everyone’s expectations. The service was outstanding, prompt and attentive. Our food came out quickly, plated well and according to preferences of family members such as holding sauces to the side. Our family enjoyed an array of dishes from the fried whole Branzino to the Wagu steak, pizza, pasta, and roasted chicken. All the dishes were tasty without being overseasoned or underprepared. This was one of the best dining experiences we have enjoyed in quite some time. We will definitely be back!

First time: Made reservations about two months in advance— the place was packed! Everyone was either celebrating something or spending time with loved ones. A great atmosphere! The food was outstanding, a great selection of wines and liquors at the bar. Service was faster than expected, especially considering how busy the place was. Reasonable prices all-around and excellent experience from the staff and the atmosphere.

Perfect atmosphere for a date night. The food was amazing and the wine hit the spot.
