    Had a very different experience at ABC on Friday June 13 than I usually do. Usually, the service is relaxed. Yesterday, we felt rushed with the server coming to our table multiple times within 5 minutes to take desert orders. Our entree was rushed to us but the server didn't remove the appetizer plate. I love ABCV and often recommend it to friends because it really feels like an oasis in the city and I usually enjoy a long and relaxed lunch but not yesterday. Maybe there is a new general manager overseeing service? I ate at ABC Cocina the week before and the service was lovely and relaxed as per the usual. Please don't change ABCV and replicate obnoxious 1980s style service.
