Aba to Open in Nashville's Wedgewood Houston

Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants, a family-owned, multi-concept restaurant group based in Chicago, is opening Aba in Wedgewood Houston and Sushi-san in 12 South this year. 

Aba will open this summer at 435 Houston Street. Aba, which means father in Hebrew, is a Mediterranean restaurant with a California influence. This will be the restaurant’s third location with others in Chicago and Austin. The menu from chef-partner CJ Jacobson showcases the Top Chef alum’s modern approach to Mediterranean cooking with signature dishes including Smoky Garlic Hummus, Whipped Feta Spread, Shawarma-Spiced Skirt Steak, and Frozen Greek Yogurt with olive oil and sea salt. The cuisine will be paired with a beverage program that highlights spirits and rare wines from lesser-known Mediterranean regions. The restaurant design, inspired by summer in the Mediterranean, is known for its lush greenery, climbing ivy, potted plants, Moroccan-style lanterns, and olive trees. The Nashville location will feature an expansive patio, indoor and outdoor bars, and a 250-plus-seat dining room with semi-private and private dining options.
