Stella, the sommelier was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us find a great wine to go along with our dinner.

- LFLynnFNew York City •9 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe 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.More infoABC KitchenPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Gramercy Park•4.5
