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.
