About this restaurant

Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

The second to open of the abc restaurant trio was abc cocina, a stark contrast of menu and interior design to abc kitchen. Moody lighting and shareable small Latin-inspired plates encourage large groups to enjoy a family style feast or date night by candlelight. The menu celebrates local produce and international flavors, featuring a variety of dishes and house-made cocktails such as Margaritas and Sangria, available à la carte or in large format pitchers. As a Jean-Georges restaurant, abc cocina offers a vibrant dining experience with a lively bar scene, communal tables and cozy nooks, inviting parties of all sizes. The restaurant is open for lunch, brunch, happy hour, and dinner, inviting guests to savor its diverse culinary offerings throughout the day.

We were a group of 8 people and the food came out in waves. One person received her meal while the rest waited 20 minutes. Someone asked for bacon on the side, received the bacon after we all ate. Another, asked for avocado toast, she received the toast, then the avocado towards the end of the meal. We weren't able to eat as a group - it was so strange! Also, the food was nothing great - really disappointing! While we were settling the bill, the wait staff started removing our placemats and taking our personal belongings off them. We asked if they needed the table for another group, they said they didn't. Would never go there again. Our personal waiter was great, besides that, it was an awful experience. Over priced, not so good food.

The food is superb. We ordered 10 things and everything was good to superb. Amazing. The noise level is high (but I am showing my age a bit). Very lively and a lot of people will love it.

Generally a good meal, but just not living up to it's pre-pandemic quality. The excellent coffee stout is gone with no replacement. The spectacular lobster dish is gone. The famous tres leches cake comes and goes in different iterations, but none equal to the outstanding version of the past. Time to give the other 2 ABCs a try.

Welcoming staff- energetic and unique decor - inspired menu - what else can you want from a casual dinner with a friend. The green pea spread app is a must. We loved the mushroom chev dish and tuna tartar. With many tables of large groups celebrating everything it was quite loud but the staff was accommodating and found us a semi- quiet table.
