    Great find. Had tickets for a 1:00 show in town. Had brunch at The Abbey. Food was great service was very good. It was a quick trip to the Benedum Center afterwards.

    The Abbey does everything right! Food, service, ingenuity, ambiance, etc! It is my #1 choice for entertaining out of town guests. We, unintentionally, stayed 30 mins PAST closing time! Yes, I'm embarrassed but the staff never said a peep. They let us enjoy our company. My belly & heart are always full at The Abbey.

    Service was poor. Took forever to get our check and we were given a glass full of empty coffee creamer containers and used stirrers with our coffee order. Food was good, not great. Frittata was a standout.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Our service was exceptional - the perfect balance of attentive but not hovering - and the food was heavenly! They were easily able to accommodate my partner's nut allergy without worry of cross contamination, which was so refreshing! This will be a new, regular date night spot for us

    I absolutely love The Abbey. I have mostly dined there for brunch and can comment on how the menu is pretty extensive with so many tasty options. Every item I have ever ordered have been excellent! I highly recommend adding the cinnamon roll for the table as your appetizer! They have a great selection of brunch cocktails as well as hot and cold coffees. The service is consistently excellent! I have only been here once for dinner a while ago and that was tremendous!

    I thought for a piece of fried fish and French fries $27 was steep. They also felt the need to truffle the ketchup and the waitress laughed when I asked for regular ketchup. I felt like they were reaching for something that wasn’t there. If the meal had been priced $10 less I think my review may have been different.

    The Abbey is an excellent "nice" gathering place for friends convening from disparate parts of the city, and the experience is lovely. The food is very good; we had French toast, a frittata, and the shrimp and grits (which I had seen on the web site and had to ask about, as it wasn't on the printed brunch menu). The coffee was excellent, the service wonderful and friendly.

    Such a neat space! Best salad I’ve had in awhile. Plenty of shrimp added for the cost. Mimosa was made perfectly (didn’t skimp on the champagne added). I do wish they had gluten free bread so I could have had their French toast but other than that everything was lovely.

    We had such a lovely dinner for New Years Eve. Our server was the bar tender - she was attentive and super friendly. The Vesper room was great for a romantic date, but would also be fun for a nice dinner with friends. We will definitely be back.

    Great experience!! Everything was top-notch, from our drinks, to the mussels and frites appetizer, to the scallop special, and the lamb pappardelle. We were seated in the indoor patio, which was comfortable, and great for our early New Year's Eve date night. Our server was very attentive and sweet, as well. Will definitely dine here again!!

    The food was good as per usual. Service was great. Unfortunately, the menu was limited. They removed the salmon from the menu. No fresh fish as an option. The meatballs and polenta were very tasty. The edamame hummus is a winner.

    We had a very nice brunch in the Parlour Bar. Our waiter, David, was excellent--neither too inattentive or attentive, just right. Our food and drinks were delicious. It was a cold, windy day and the only complaint was that we were a little chilly as we were catching a draft from the room next to our's which abutted the outside. Very cool place--lots of repurposed history. We will definitely return!
