abc cocina by Jean-Georges

“Truly spectacular everything. The service was top notch, they really bent over backwards to make sure everyone in our group was happy for our birthday celebration. The food was ridiculously good. You can tell how every detail was planned and put together with care. Market beets, artichoke and calamari for appetizers were phenomenal. So many flavors in every bite. The cheeseburger was unlike any other burger I've had ever, because there was so much creamy plants on and around it. Crunchy from the bed of greens in every bite and topped with a creamy spinach type, somehow I felt healthy eating this burger. And the desserts, truly incredible. The caramel, popcorn, chocolate sundae was exactly as incredible as that sounds. The chocolate cake also incredible. Enjoy”

“Came here for the pizza but it wasn’t even on the menu so not sure if it’s gone for good but the crab toast was delicious. Great spot for a higher end, chef centric menu and for people conscious about locally sourced ingredients. The rustic farm to table vibe was amazing, and the quality of ingredients seemed amazing. The sorbets were exactly what I was craving. We had a small issue with a cracked sauce dish and the staff took care of it”

“We came here for Restaurant Week dinner. Overall, the food was good, but the salmon and burger entrées were both a bit too salty for our taste. The sashimi appetizer was unique and interesting, though slightly underwhelming given our expectations from a Jean-Georges restaurant. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate cake — rich, well-balanced, and delicious.”

“We went to ABC Kitchen with high expectations, especially given its celebrity chef reputation and for seasonal, vegetable-forward cooking. The ambiance is a clear standout — warm, inviting, and beautifully done. It’s one of those spaces that immediately feels special and thoughtfully designed. The food, however, didn’t quite match that level. We ordered a broccoli–cauliflower app with citrus dressing and a red lentil soup. Both were fresh, but very simple — the kind of dishes that felt easily replicable at home, without much depth or seasoning. For a restaurant at this level, you expect more complexity and finish. The pastas were disappointing. The ravioli, at around $30 for six pieces, came with a tomato sauce that tasted surprisingly flat. The pistachio pesto pasta lacked basic seasoning and felt incomplete. Neither dish justified the price point. Service was slower than expected, with 40 minutes between courses. Bread arrived midway (as a way to apologize for the delay) through the wait but was stale and not warmed, which added to the sense that details were being missed. The restaurant clearly emphasizes high-quality, local ingredients, and that freshness does come through. But at this price range, freshness alone isn’t enough — you expect flavor, balance, and execution to carry the experience. Overall, I’d return for the ambiance, but not necessarily for the food.”

“Overall it was just okay. The crab toast was good, meat was fresh but missing that extra kick to make it memorable. The kale salad was fine, nothing special. The broccoli frittata was tasty, though I wasn’t a fan of the layer of cheese on top—it made it feel more like a slice of pizza than a frittata. Service was not warm, at least from our server, which took away from the experience. The ambiance also felt a bit off—the space is large but quite dim, and it could really use more lighting and greenery to make it feel more inviting and lively. Overall, not a bad meal, but didn’t quite live up to expectations.”
