Tiny plates with big prices. Flavors were fine, but at 3-4 bites per plate it was way too expense for what it is.

This is possibly one of the best meals in Cincinnati. My favorites menu items are the broccoli, short ribs, and gnocchi, and it would be a crime to not finish the meal with the ricotta + honey ❤️ The staff are great and we felt so welcome and well-cared for during our dinner.

We ordered the dates, short ribs, scallops and Baklava, which was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Everything was excellent! My sister said the scallops and Baklava were her favorite things she's ever eaten! Can't wait to come back with my bf

Everything was fantastic as always. Please bring back the grilled shrimp. I cant say this enough. I will settle for them being a seasonal item, but please bring the grilled shrimp with black garlic oil back!!!

The food was amazing, got 5 plates to share between 2 people which was beyond enough food. The cocktails were unique and delightful.
I am so bummed about this review but felt like I had to let other people who go here and feel this way know they are not alone :) My sister and I had heard so many good things and went into dinner really pumped about the menu. We had hummus, mussels, gnocchi, broccolini, and short rib. The hummus was incredible but one pita felt skimpy for the price. The mussels were fishy- would not recommend at all, the gnocchi was good, the broccolini was good, the short rib was good- but none of it was blow my mind delicious or unique in the way I expected it to be based on what I'd heard from others. Similar to the food, the service was fine- no major hiccups- but again, based on what I'd heard I expected service to be a little elevated, it was not. Overall the experience was probably a 3/4 but the price of it all bumps the review down to a 2. If someone is spending $200 on a dinner for 2, feels like it should be a top notch experience on all fronts. This was not.

Abigail Street, which is an award-winning Mediterranean restaurant + wine bar, is an absolutely fantastic spot for a bite & a cocktail in Cincinnati, OH! :-) Located on Vine Street, this restaurant is situated on Cincy's central thoroughfare and offers an incredible collection of merchants and restaurants. Abigail's is an exceptional spot, as it offers a delicious array of tapas (which are perfect for sharing). I recently visited Abigail's for the first time with my boyfriend & our family while we were in Cincinnati, OH, and it was a wonderful experience! Regarding their variety of plates, we tried several items. I highly recommend their (1) Roasted Beets and Lebna, (2) Crispy Falafel, (3) Fattoush, (4) Mussels Charmoula, and (5) Seared Scallops. My favorite dish was for sure their mussels - they are SO delicious!
Regarding wine selection, they have a vast list. I was in the mood for Rosé, so I tried their Reginato (from Argentina). It was perfect, as I thought it paired very well with all of the food! Also of note, the atmosphere inside of Abigail's Kitchen is so lovely - it's warm & cozy, and the staff offer a very inviting + welcoming atmosphere. I love this spot - I'm looking forward to returning here, and I highly recommend visiting when you're in this part of Cincy!

We had come here quite often after it opened, but it had been a few years since our last visit.
Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our dinner here! Next time I'm back in Cinci, definitely dining again.

We've dined at this restaurant several times over the years, and while the food quality and overall concept have remained consistently good, our latest visit left us reconsidering a return. We made an online reservation, which was acknowledged promptly upon arrival. The host was courteous, and we were seated without delay. The weather was mild, and although there are a few outdoor tables available along the street, we opted to sit inside. The restaurant's set-up and décor haven't changed much over time — a familiar, cozy space with bare tables and large linen napkins. However, one downside we've noticed is the seating: after about an hour, the chairs become noticeably uncomfortable. The menu continues to evolve while staying true to the restaurant's core culinary approach. Our server was courteous, moderately attentive, and quite knowledgeable about the offerings. We enjoyed a variety of well-presented dishes, all of which tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Unfortunately, what truly marred this visit was the overwhelming noise level inside the dining area. For the first time, we found it nearly impossible to hold a conversation. The echo off the brick walls created a loud, almost chaotic atmosphere. It was frustrating enough that we lowered our rating and are unsure if we’ll return. We strongly suggest the restaurant invest in some noise-dampening solutions to improve the dining experience. Great food shouldn’t come at the cost of basic conversation.

loved this dinner! definitely get the short ribs, they are amazing. the baklava is also fantastic, although different from typical baklavas (it believe it uses sweetened pistachio creme) it is uniquely great. only issue is that it was a bit loud indoors, but everything else was 10/10.
