Serendipity Sundays ~ aba's Worth the Wait

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

There is a new restaurant in Austin on South Congress called aba's. It’s a Mediterranean restaurant originating from Chicago’s historic Fulton Market District. You must have a reservation and it could take you a month to get in! The food is amazing; service impeccable as well as their drinks but the ambiance is incredible!

   

A dear friend who I always celebrate birthdays with made reservations back in July for us and my daughter Melissa to go in August upon returning from Montana to celebrate my birthday. Thank you Roxy for a wonderful lunch and catching up!

Hi Leanne Smith : I've been getting more adventuresome because we have so many cultures in Austin it's good to taste the flavor of different parts of the world. I actually loved the food and 10 years ago I might now have tried it.

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® : Its all about your expectations of a dining experience. If you really don't care about anything in particular and just want to grab something and get in and out there are many places to accommodate that experience. But if you're looking for ambiance, excellent food, drinks and service than spending time with those you care about become a memorable dining experience.

Good morning Kathy Streib ,

The nice thing about a reservation you don't wait and are seated almost immediately. I like that!

Dorie to show you how funny the mind works, when I saw your title, I thought you had been waiting to go to an Abba concert.  Then I realized you were missing a "b" ...... LOL

Oh how fun, Dorie and Happy belated Birthday! I'm anxious to hear what you had to eat! 

Our best restaurants here are often booked out a month in advance as well. It's like having clients lined up in your pipeline - when it's time to dine (or buy), it's such a treat!

That sounds like a wonderful birthday celebration. I just checked out Abas dinner menu and oh my, everything sounds scrumptious. It would have been hard to make a selection. I would have wanted to try everything!
