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.

    Food took forever. Fish was undercooked and raw. They had to recook amd then just threw the fish on the plate with no sides.

    My wife and I visited ABC Cocina on Valentine’s Day, hoping for a special evening out. While the food itself was quite good—fresh flavors and interesting dishes—we were unfortunately rushed throughout the entire meal. Servers would reach for our plates before we had even finished, and all of our dishes arrived at once, crowding the table. At one point, the bill was placed in front of us while we were still eating and drinking. I suspect this isn’t the waitstaff’s fault, but rather a management push to turn over tables quickly. Even though the food was tasty, the constant sense of being hurried spoiled the occasion for us. Because of this, we won’t be returning. If you value a relaxed dining experience, be aware that you may feel rushed here.

    Great atmosphere! The dishes were super yummy, but choose a few more then you think you’ll need because some dishes were very small portions. Our waiter was great and the service was exceptional from the time we entered the restaurant until we left! Will definitely go back!

    Awesome food, best churros I've ever had! We're pescatarians and had plenty of food to pick from. Highly recommend getting the churros, octopus, and calamari.

    Excellent service. The food was full of flavor - loved the kale mushroom tacos. Our server was gracious and helpful, and all of the employees were kind and happy. The holiday cookie platter was delicious and so pretty. Thank you for a memorable dining experience.
