Farm-to-table American fare in a chic Flatiron setting. Known for seasonal dishes, standout pizzas, and a unique caramel popcorn sundae.
Molly Fitzpatrick reviews ABC Kitchen, a Flatiron restaurant known for its seasonal, organic dishes, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.
This Flatiron establishment, a fixture since 2010, offers a seasonal and organic approach to American cuisine, making it a versatile choice for everything from casual dinners to special occasions. While the ambiance leans towards shabby-chic, and some service aspects can be inconsistent, the food itself is a highlight. Diners rave about dishes like the Peekytoe Crab Toast and the Black Truffle Pizza, though some, like the Wood Oven Roasted Maine Lobster, have received criticism. The Caramel Popcorn Sundae is a unique dessert that has garnered attention.
The cuisine is American, with a strong emphasis on seasonal and organic ingredients. Customers frequently recommend the Peekytoe Crab Toast, Roast Carrot & Avocado Salad, Oven Roasted Prawns, and particularly the Black Truffle Pizza. However, some dishes like the Wood Oven Roasted Maine Lobster and Fried Organic Chicken have received negative feedback for being bland or overpowered by sauce, respectively. The Caramel Popcorn Sundae is a popular and unique dessert.
"Standout dishes include the Black Truffle Pizza, Peekytoe Crab Toast, and the Caramel Popcorn Sundae. The restaurant is also noted for its vegetarian-friendly options and seafood."
Overall, customer sentiment is largely positive, with many praising the restaurant's seasonal and organic approach to American cuisine. While some reviews mention inconsistencies in service and occasional disappointments with specific dishes, the majority highlight the deliciousness of items like their pizzas and certain appetizers.
