About the restaurant

The second to open of the abc restaurant trio was abc cocina, a stark contrast of menu and interior design to abc kitchen. Moody lighting and shareable small Latin-inspired plates encourage large groups to enjoy a family style feast or date night by candlelight. The menu celebrates local produce and international flavors, featuring a variety of dishes and house-made cocktails such as Margaritas and Sangria, available à la carte or in large format pitchers. As a Jean-Georges restaurant, abc cocina offers a vibrant dining experience with a lively bar scene, communal tables and cozy nooks, inviting parties of all sizes. The restaurant is open for lunch, brunch, happy hour, and dinner, inviting guests to savor its diverse culinary offerings throughout the day.

Supper is one of our favorite local spots. The food is consistently good and prepared to perfection. Spaghetti Limone, Chicken Parm, and Bolognese are our go-to entrees, but everything on the menu is delicious. We love the service too. It’s cash-only, fyi.
