ABC Kitchen is a modern, dimly lit Italian-inspired restaurant that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is stylish yet cozy, creating the perfect ambiance for a memorable dining experience. The menu features a variety of fresh, seasonal dishes, including must-try whole wheat pizzas and delectable crab toast. The food from start to finish is impressive, with dishes like crab toast with hints of dill and crispy toast. The fried chicken is flavorful with a sauce that has a kick, and the pizza is so good it is devoured quickly. Servers are super friendly, helpful, and kind. The restaurant is a great choice for gatherings with friends and family, offering a delicious squash dish and chicken stew. The mushroom egg pizza is quite special, and the tartare is fresh and delightful. Service is impeccable, with gorgeous presentation. Diners also enjoy a standout caramel popcorn sundae, which combines salted caramel ice cream, fudge, and crunchy popcorn for a perfect treat. The relaxed environment and consistently delicious food make it a favorite spot, where the staff ensures a comfortable experience without being intrusive. While service can be slow when busy, the staff often provides a complimentary dessert or amuse bouche, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Recent guests praised the excellent spinach and goat cheese pizza, and the side of broccolini and cauliflower, beautifully seasoned but so tender it couldn't be cut through with a knife. The apple pie with brown butter ice cream was also described as superb. Lunch visitors enjoyed salads, crispy fried chicken, and squash and ricotta toast as a starter, finishing with a delicious cookies plate. Although seating in the main room was initially unavailable, staff were helpful once asked, making the overall experience very good.
