From the first moment that I stepped into the restaurant, I felt like I had left Brooklyn. The attention to detail is exquisite, there is always something beautiful to look at. The service was impeccable, the team ensuring plates were cleared , water glasses were filled and checking in to make sure everything was to our liking. I love a family style restaurant with shared plates and the food exceeded all of my expectations. You must order the sautéed hopper shrimp, the warm leeks (never knew I could love a leak so much), both types of empanadas (you will thank me later) and the campo grande iberico pork chop (best I have ever had). You can't go wrong with any of the desserts but the caramel popcorn sundae and warm chocolate cake are the perfect way to end the meal. I will definitely be back soon. 10/10, no notes.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. The ambiance can't be beat. Great drink and food menu. Everything is on the pricier side but it's very farm to table and fresh. Tried the crab toast after reading all the positive reviews and it was solid.

Went for dinner and ordered from the restaurant week menu. Carrot ginger soup was delicious, and the main course I ordered was chicken with some red sauce - it was delicious and the portion was a good size. I would have given it a 5 stars but both my and my friend’s dishes were not 100% warm when they were brought out.

I visited by myself during Restaurant Week and tried the menu they had for the occasion. Found the food to be excellent, nearly scraped every plate clean. I also found the service to be wonderful, very friendly staff. Would love to return sometime.

Most. underwhelming JG restaurant so far. Went on a Saturday afternoon with a reservation. None of the wait staff cane to the table despite my asking several times for water and a menu. Was only served when I escalated to management. Menu was somewhat limited and the food (eggs, mushy pizza, over flavored squash) in no way to compared with the fine refined takes of Jean Georges or Perry St and even ABC kitchen.

My family recently had a very special lunch at abc kitchen, with people coming from Seattle, Baltimore, Richmond VA, and NYC. The restaurant is beautifully styled, with cozy, welcoming tables that give privacy and space. The food was superb, with lovely presentation, and unfussy, balanced flavors. Each dish shone in its own right, and of special note were: the roasted market beets, kale salad, mushroom pizza, roasted lobster, black sea bass, warm apple pie, caramel popcorn sundae, and cookie plate.

However, the service made our experience exceptional. Aizat and her team were knowledgeable, unobtrusive, caring, and came at just the right moments. I never felt hovered-over, or rushed. This was important, as my family so rarely sees each other. The service was simultaneously casual and impeccable, a perfect balance. In another life, I had been a fine dining server for 10 years, and I know how delicate the dance is between being “too present” and being available and seamless. Aizat and her team were the latter. Kudos, and thank you for a truly memorable afternoon. We all treasure the memory.

Excellent salads , super fresh and flavourful. Excellent burger and fries, good not great salmon (may not have been super fresh) Average apple dessert tart. Nice atmosphere, very good service.

Delicious food, great drinks, wonderful service. A favorite of mine. For those with older ears - get there early or ask for a table on the periphery.

Our favorite restaurant in NYC! We will always make time for dinner at ABC kitchen! Could not recommend it more

Wonderful bar, great service and food that is top of the tier. Pricey but fabulous. Stunning place.

The meal was good, but not "wow." The artichoke dish was a quite weak. The calamari was light and tasty, but not that different from other restaurants. The main steamed fish dish was okay set in a broth to pep up the blandness of the fish. Considering the cost, there are other options to try in the area.

This restaurant has a wonderful ambiance. The menu options were great. The atmosphere is conducive to having a relaxing dining experience. The food and service were both very good and we will definitely go again.

10/10 experience. The service was amazing, the atmosphere perfect, food very good. The staff made this experience, as did the faro and the avocado and roasted carrot salad!! It’s expensive, but I had such a lovely time.

Such a beautiful setting. Our out of town guests loved it. Very chic and well-lit. Wish music had been playing otherwise great restaurant and service. Definitely on the pricier side...40 for fried chicken seems pretty high.
