    Always a great meal. Re: VALUE. It would be helpful if servers quoted the price of “specials/menu additions”. This would avoid surprises when it comes to time to pay the bill. I probably would not have changed my order and the meal was great! Just believe it to be more appropriate given the menu additions are usually significantly higher than fixed menu items.

    A Culinary Farewell: Chef Mike’s ABG Dining at Chef Mike’s ABG was an experience that seamlessly balanced culinary artistry and impeccable service. The specials of the night immediately set the tone — an Artichoke Appetizer that was as visually stunning as it was flavorful, followed by a Main Course of Halibut that redefined perfection on a plate. Every dish was a testament to the kitchen’s dedication to both presentation and taste. Among the highlights was ABG’s famed Creamy Crab Bisque. A signature offering, it effortlessly lived up to its sterling reputation — rich, velvety. Of course, such culinary excellence does come with a price tag. As we were forewarned to "hold on to our wallets," it's true that this was a premium dining experience. Yet, for someone who "eats with their eyes" and appreciates the finer nuances of taste and texture, every penny felt justified. The service complemented the food beautifully. Each course was timed with precision, we never felt rushed nor dragged. The attentive staff ensured our table was kept immaculate throughout, a detail that often goes unnoticed but speaks volumes about the restaurant’s commitment to excellence. Yet, Chef Mike’s ABG chapter is nearing its end. With the restaurant set to close its doors in October to make way for luxury home developments, it is a bittersweet farewell. The thought of such a remarkable establishment succumbing to demolition is saddening. However, the culinary world is evolving, and I eagerly anticipate discovering where Chef Mike will next weave his magic. For those fortunate enough to dine here before the closing, it is a memory to treasure. And for Chef Mike, the horizon holds new possibilities, and we can only hope his next venture will be as extraordinary as this one.
