Farm-to-table American fare, with standout pizzas & crab toast. Organic, seasonal, and charmingly rustic, a go-to for groups & diverse diets.
Molly Fitzpatrick reviews ABC Kitchen, a Flatiron restaurant known for its seasonal, organic dishes, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.
A mainstay in Flatiron since 2010, ABC Kitchen offers a seasonal, organic American menu with a farm-to-table ethos. While it can cater to large groups and various occasions, reviews point to inconsistent service and some dish quality issues. Despite these drawbacks, standout items like the Black Truffle Pizza and Peekytoe Crab Toast, along with a charming Caramel Popcorn Sundae, make it a worthwhile option.
