Modern dimly lit Italian-ish restaurant. Very large and loud on the inside with tables and little too close together. The whole wheat pizzas are a must try and the crab toast deserve a mention. Surprisingly attentive service for such a large restaurant

Went here for my anniversary. Don’t really like classic Italian food which is the go to romantic vibe so we went for this option.The restaurant is gorgeous. The crowd is not very young and it seems to be a lot of business professionals. Keep that in mind when planning to visit.$10 water lol. Watch out for that.The olives were absolutely delicious. Crab toast was fantastic meat tasted so fresh and not slimy at all.Got the spaghetti and the farro risotto and we shared the dishes. Looking around, the protein options would be really small to share. Glad we went carb heavy. The flavors were unique and very fresh. It was cool to have pasta/grain and have it feel so innovative.Initially thought the restaurant was a little stale in vibe, but the innovative pasta dishes really made up for that.

ABC Kitchen is a popular brunch spot with delicious food and beautiful decor. The Roast Carrot and Avocado Salad is my absolute favorite, although I haven’t had a dish I didn’t like here.This time, my friend and I shared:- Roast Carrot and Avocado Salad ($25+)- Black Truffle Pizza ($30+)I’m not a fan of truffle, but the Black Truffle Pizza with fontina cheese and farm egg was so good.My only disappointment was the Organic Young Thai Coconut Water ($10+), which came in a glass, not coconut. It was good, but I wouldn’t order it again.It also took a while to get our bill, but we weren’t in a rush and had a nice brunch experience overall. Hope to be back again soon!

This place needs help in kitchen. Entrees came out 90 mins after ordering. Waiter even came over and said there is a problem in the kitchen. I guess they are understaffed or incompetent. I ordered a salad with salmon. After 90 mins the salad came but the salmon came 30 mins after that and it was drenched in salt and parts of it raw. Really painful to eat and felt nauseous after. They were kind enough to comp the salmon and give us one free dessert. The atmosphere in the place is fine, the service checked in on us but the food was too slow and just ok for the other people. Everything is overpriced and small. They charged 36 bucks for 2 pieces of white asparagus as an appetizer. Another 36 for 4 medium sized prawns appetizer. The pizza was good but small. Entree salmon my parents got looked better than mine but they barely got any with it , a few veggies underneath for 40 bucks. 9 bucks for a small thing of olives. Drinks are around 20 each. This place had a ton of space but a lot of it is empty I assume due to kitchen or staffing issues or people know there are issues. I would avoid this place until they fix the kitchen problems. Something is off and way better options in the same area.

Earthy blend of modern and traditional. Food is reflective of that. Crisp light flavors with high quality ingredients.

This is a great restaurant for small intimate dates or large groups. Here is a list of what I tried and liked: * Peekytoe crab toast with lemon aioli * Oven roasted prawns with yuzu chili dressing and cilantro * Black truffle wheat pizza with Fontina cheese and farm egg * Ice cream and sorbets: coconut lemongrass, passionfruit, and mandarin I am sure many other items on the menu would be good. I would be happy to return to validate this point.

Came here for lunch with a client at 12 and the restaurant was packed by 12:30! The service and food is great overall. We shared the fried calamari which was fried perfectly. I got the Black Sea bass for my entree. It was amazing. The fish was so tender and moist. The dashi broth was perfectly salted. The maitake mushrooms were roasted perfectly. I wish i had more of them. ABC kitchen is perfect for a client lunch or meet up with friends / family

Horrible service, always behind the schedule. And service depends on the server, if you have a good server you’ll have a better experience. Food is also overpriced and small portions.
