From the outside it looked z as bandied and we were early for a 12:15 lunch. But certainly not inside. The wait staff was very attentive throughout our meal. We had stuffed artichoke and tuna tartare as shared appetizers and we shared a turkey burger and fries. Lastly we had cherry pie. We left nothing. All was delicious and we look forward to returning for dinner or who knows what. Excellent!!

Appetizers were incredibly delicious. Mains were not as good. Pizza was burnt and the fish with peas I selected was very bland. Service was excellent.

ABC Kitchen was excellent. It's a very nice space - classy but not stuffy. The service is quick and high-quality. The menu is very good and the food prep is as good as you would expect from a Jean-Georges restaurant. The wine list was even better than expected as well.

I’ve always loved ABC Kitchen and look forward to eating the seasonal food there. But today was the worst. We sat down and it took some time for the server to come to us- like you know when get to the point where you wonder where your server is. When he finally arrived at our table, I said, - oh it must be really busy today and the server said- it comes and goes. So he didn’t even say- sorry it took a while for any reason. I decided to put our entire order in rather than wait for drinks and then order. We ordered a side of bacon- extra crispy- it came out burnt. The fries that came with the fried chicken were so salty my son could not eat it. My sea bass with sweet peas was lovely. But it was the server. He barely gave us any attention. We were done and we waited for quite some time to have our plates cleared. Mind you at this point there were plenty of empty tables so it was not packed at all. Finally someone cleared our table and the waiter started to give us the dessert menu. I stopped him and simply asked for the check. The check came. I put down my credit card. The waiter went to another table and then passed our table not once looking to see if we were ready. I had to get the attention of the host to run my card. I’m very disappointed in the food quality and service at ABC Kitchen and will not be dining there again nor will I ever make any recommendations for friends to go there. I’m sad about this break up but I’ll spend my money and time somewhere else.

Everything about our meal was wonderful. The server gave us time to look at the menu and was patient as we made decisions on the fly. The food was excellent -- we loved it all. The servers checked with us regularly to ensure that we were enjoying the meal.
