Abc Kitchen, New York, New York, American Restaurant Details

Food:

From A to Z, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's happening Flatiron charmer in ABC Carpet & Home gets it right, showcasing tantalizing, farm-to-fork American cooking composed from top-notch seasonal and organic ingredients; given the genial team manning the chic, minimalist setting, it's a huge hit with fashionable folks and still a tough reservation.

Food:

Went here with Lauren after work. Good spacious atmosphere. Wine under 40. Crab app and asparagus pizza were good.

Food:

Came here for brunch after reading positive reviews, and it was just ok.

The apps were the best part of the meal, by far, with the scallops being pleasantly light, and tasty. The calamari was also quite good.

Their mimosas were almost entirely OJ, and at $14 a piece was beyond a bummer.

The entrees we had were not great. I had a spinach goat cheese omelet, which was cold, rubbery, and strange. My friend had the scrambled eggs which were very runny. However our 3rd friend had a turkey sandwich which was really good.

OH we also shared the maple bacon biscuits, which were tasty, but at $10 for 2 biscuits, it's also not really worth it.

Overall there are some decent items on the menu, but they were overpriced for the portions. Service was also nice, but kind of slow, and they'd did little things like offer more bread then forget to bring it.

Food:

I find it almost impossible to hate ABC Kitchen; although, if there was a reason, it would only be because it's so hard to get a table at this well-received restaurant. Under the oversight of JG Vongerichten, this Union Square restaurant has maintained a focus on using organic and locally-sourced ingredients without sacrificing the end product on the plate. It's a great option for brunch, which is when guests can order the Eggs Benedict with Flying Pigs Farm Ham. Dinner also gives guests the option to order the excellent Whole Wheat Mushroom Pizza. The crust is substantial and crisp, and the melted Parmesan cheese on top is complemented with mushrooms, oregano, and a barely-cooked farm egg in the center. The Akaushi Cheeseburger is a rather pricey item at $24, but is one of the more enjoyable burgers that I've found in the city. The burger is served on a lightly toasted Eli's bun, topped with grated Cato Corner Bloomsday cheese, and served with a fragrant and creamy arugula and basil mayo... but that's not all. The finishing touch is a spread of pickled jalapeno peppers placed on the other half of the bun, which add the perfect amount of spice to each bite. I'd definitely recommend making reservations in advance, as their popularity has been justifiably sustained over time.

Food:

ABC kitchen by Jean Georges is solid, but underwhelming. I love that he uses all organic ingredients for this restaurant (even the furniture is made from recycled materials!) but the preparation was not that impressive. Our crab toast appetizer was the best part of the meal, albeit extremely oily. I got a fish entree for the main and it was cooked well, but the flavor just tasted like salt. It sat atop a bed of sauteed spinach, not dissimilar to something I cook for myself.
The zucchini cake we got for dessert was really good though. Overall, a great meal in a beautiful restaurant that with a substantial meal crafted with fresh ingredients that leaves you feeling satisfied.

Food:

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great staff. They are attentive, and they serve some great food. This restaurant has quality, fresh, hearty dishes for the price you pay. It is a great value.
