Seasonal, organic American fare in Flatiron, perfect for groups. Great pizza & crab toast, but be mindful of service quirks.
Molly Fitzpatrick reviews ABC Kitchen, a Flatiron restaurant known for its seasonal, organic dishes, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.
This Flatiron neighborhood staple, open since 2010, offers a seasonal and organic American menu that's suitable for a variety of occasions from first dates to team dinners. While it can accommodate large groups, diners should be aware of potential inconsistencies in service and some dishes that may not meet expectations. However, highly recommended items like the Black Truffle Pizza and Peekytoe Crab Toast, along with the charming Caramel Popcorn Sundae, make it a worthwhile experience.
