   The food was amazing - because of the creative approach to cooking, the menu was full of delicious culinary choices. Our meal was flavorful and delicious. However, the service was lacking. After are order was taken we never saw our waiter until the bill was presented. We had several requests - more water, another cocktail and our bill - and each of these requests we had to stop another waitstaff member to get these for us. We will try again, and hopefully the service will improve.

   Food was fantastic HOWEVER service was below poor. Had a business dinner with my Japanese distributor. We order and I chose a bottle of wine. The apps were served before the wine arrived. I asked what was wrong, the maitre 'd came to explain they could not find the bottle. I choose another. Then two of the four plates came and no wine. I asked what was happening, was told that it was being taken care of.... no wine, two of four plates service apps long finished.... The maitre 'd came back saying they have three bottles to choose from including my original choice. I ask that we have the original choice. He came back again and ask. I asked that we be served the original bottle. Then the other two plates arrived (note that two of the plates were the same and delivered 5 mins apart). We finally had all the food and the wine but by then, my plate was cool..... The food was excellent, the ambiance was great but the service was a joke. My guest were aghast and could not understand how the restaurant like ABC was messing up something so simple.

   Nice atmosphere and yummy food but our service was super slow and our waiter was not friendly and at all. Disappointing.

   Lunch took over an hour from the time we ordered for it to arrive. No acknowledgment from our server. Amazing food but sadly the worst service I’ve had in NYC

   Went for lunch. For some reason they thought we were part of another party and were asked to move tables which was super weird and disconnected. No one came to our table for about 10-15 minutes to even give water or take drink order. Food was trying to be fancy but missed the mark on actually being good. The two turkey burgers were charred to a crisp. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked but bland. The sweet potato bread seemed to be trying to be corn bread but it was like someone added in an incorrect ingredient and you got some sort of parmesan/seaweed blend. We took a few bites and then no one finished their pieces. Drinks took awhile to come out. Just overall, the vibe is cool but should go back to basics on the food and service.
