Why Travelers Love abc kitchen
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Went for a Bilt Rewards special—an unbeatable deal at $60 for the full menu, plus $30 for two drinks. Food Appetizers – The roasted carrot and avocado salad was fantastic—bursting with flavor and a pleasant surprise for something I’d never normally order. Absolutely worth getting again. The pizza was fine, nothing memorable. Entrées – The fried organic chicken came in a generous portion with a bit of a spicy kick, but it wasn’t my favorite. The campanelle, on the other hand, was delicious—unexpectedly addictive and full of flavor. Desserts – The blueberry pie was just okay (I’m not much of a pie person), but the caramel popcorn sundae was a 10/10 standout. The combination of salted caramel ice cream, fudge at the bottom, and crunchy popcorn was pure perfection. Finally got to try one of Jean-Georges’ NYC restaurants and came to abc kitchen for Restaurant Week. Such a beautiful space with intimate lighting and a warm vibe, and the service was great from start to finish. Started with the tomato toast, which was simple but so good—crispy toast topped with ripe, flavorful tomato slices and just the right amount of seasoning. For my main, I had skate for the first time at a restaurant and it was wonderful. Tender and delicate, served over a vibrant mix of tomatoes, eggplant, and green olives that really brought it all together. Finished with the cherry pie, which was a nice finish. All in all, a very enjoyable meal. I’ll be back Fun brunch at ABC Kitchen. Unfortunately they do not have much for gluten free. More like incomplete dishes, for example can do hamburger but no bun, etc. my eggs benefit was perfectly done! The chicken paillard was undercooked and not pounded thin. Just plain grilled undercooked chicken. Waiter promptly removed the charge.

We arrived just after 5 for restaurant week and found the place fairly empty, but it quickly became crowded and noisy. It was a bit difficult to hear the person across from me The appetizers were nice and light. The shrimp and pasta were not spicy as noted, just salty. The skate was filling, but also salty. The mini pie was crisp
