Farm-to-table American fare w/ seasonal, organic dishes. Standout pizzas, crab toast, and desserts. Great for groups & occasions.
Molly Fitzpatrick reviews ABC Kitchen, a Flatiron restaurant known for its seasonal, organic dishes, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.
This Flatiron neighborhood spot, serving seasonal and organic dishes since 2010, is a versatile option suitable for various occasions, from casual dinners to group gatherings. While known for its farm-to-table approach and charming ambiance, customer feedback highlights some inconsistencies in service and occasional misses in dish execution. However, standout items like the crab toast, roast carrot salad, and especially the black truffle pizza, along with certain desserts, often lead to a positive dining experience.
The restaurant offers American farm-to-table cuisine with a strong emphasis on seasonal and organic ingredients. While many dishes receive praise, particularly the Black Truffle Pizza and Peekytoe Crab Toast, some less successful items include the Wood Oven Roasted Maine Lobster and fried chicken. Desserts like the Caramel Popcorn Sundae are often recommended.
"Highly recommended dishes include the Black Truffle Pizza, Peekytoe Crab Toast, and the Caramel Popcorn Sundae. The Roast Carrot & Avocado Salad and Oven Roasted Prawns are also frequently praised."
Customers generally have a positive view of this restaurant, appreciating its seasonal and organic focus, though some note inconsistencies in service and food quality.
