    I’ve been wanting to try ABC Kitchen for years. Unfortunately, it was not what I had hoped. We had a reservation and were seated behind the dining room at the entrance of a store. It felt like we were outcasts in a mall food court. We complained and then they sat us in the dining room. Even though we had a reservation they told us that we needed to be out in an hour. Normally time limits are 90 minutes and told to guests when they are making a reservation. So incredibly rude and unprofessional! Our server was cold (William B.) and didn’t smile once. He seemed annoyed to be serving us. The food was good, not amazing. Not at all worth the price. We got a glass of wine and cocktail that were insanely overpriced. Then the famous crab toast. It was fine. Not mind-blowing. The truffle pizza was good, but our farm egg was overcooked. The yolk was hard, not runny. The pesto campanelle was the best thing. But it was still not this incredible dish. We didn’t over dessert but ordered cappuccinos. After that, our server ignored us and never came back. We waited 20 minutes to get our check and had to flag him down to all for it. He literally forgot about us. The ambiance in the dining room is stunning, and really the only special thing about this place. I don’t need to ever go back, and there are much better restaurants in NYC.

    Loved the atmosphere and the service was fantastic.  Food was very good. I had the roasted artichoke and it was delicious, very much like the one I make myself. It was just a little bit on the salty side for my taste. I also had the grass fed cheeseburger. I would’ve liked to have had a side of hot mustard accompanying it or a Dijon. The burger was cooked medium well and it tasted good, but it just needed a little something. My wife and daughter had the pizza and it was great according to them. Menu was a little bit pricey, the single artichoke was $20 for example , but I guess that’s to be expected for Manhattan. Overall, we enjoyed it very much and would go back.

    Excellent service. The appetizer of strata cheese, strawberries and pesto was unique with a little bit of sweetness. Entrees were delicious especially the sea bass with fresh and spring forward with peas and lemon verbena sauce.
