    Service was very considerate and kind, our server checked on often us and made sure we enjoyed every dish! I love that she gave us the opportunity to speak up if there was something we weren’t happy with (we were happy with everything). She was awesome! Albacore Tuna and Carolina gold rice were the favorites for us and the pork and green chili stew felt like home. The space is beautiful, very minimal and classy. Definitely will be back at the bar for the burger and to try some other items.

    This is my second visit to Abernethy’s with Chef Pyet I was there for brunch on Saturday. I ordered the guacamole to start. It was perfectly seasoned with crispy tortilla chips. For my entree I ordered huevos rancheros. It was a perfect meal. The presentation is very appealing. I definitely enjoyed my meal and hope to return again. It was a little cool so I had inside seating but on a warm day the outside seating is very pleasant.
