    Great start to the evening with the artichoke and the calamari. Then the main course came and the fried chicken was raw. The waiter apologized immediately when we pointed it out and we told her it wasn’t her fault. It took quite a while for a manager to come over and apologize for the kitchen. He basically said, yeah I told the chef and here’s some ice cream on us. He didn’t really care at all. In the meantime it’s so dark in the restaurant, who knows how much of the raw chicken we ate before we realized it. This restaurant used to be a top restaurant in NY. When we got there it was empty. Now we know why!

    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.
