    One of the most hippest places in Austin to serve authentic Tapas style food. Hard to secure walk in reservations but well worth the wait.

    I had high expectations and Aba still far exceeded them. Such unique menu items. The short rib hummus was phenomenal. Great service and ambiance.

    The setting is beautiful and the food delicious, but the music is unnecessarily loud, to the point you have to strain to hear your table mates.

    Loved the whipped feta, short rib and salmon skewers. Didn't love the staff advertising promotions and then dropping a coupon on the table.
