Aba – Chicago’s Rooftop Mediterranean Dream
Perched on the third floor of Chicago’s West Loop, Aba transports couples to a sun-drenched Mediterranean escape without ever leaving the city. The open-air rooftop terrace — draped in lush greenery and warmed by soft, golden lighting — creates an atmosphere that feels effortlessly intimate, whether you’re watching the Chicago skyline fade into dusk or lingering over a second bottle of wine long after the plates are cleared. It’s the kind of place where a dinner reservation quietly becomes a memory.
With a stellar 4.8-star rating across nearly 10,000 reviews, Aba has clearly mastered the art of making guests feel genuinely transported. The menu draws from Israeli, Turkish, and Lebanese culinary traditions, offering sharing-style dishes that naturally invite conversation, connection, and the occasional stolen bite from your partner’s plate. The energy here balances lively and romantic beautifully — vibrant enough to feel celebratory, relaxed enough to forget the rest of the world exists.
