Came here for restaurant week on a Thursday afternoon. The aura of this place is amazing. It’s very casual and relaxed and trendy. Just walking in, I felt it was going to be a nice healthy meal. We did the restaurant week menu and for appetizer I got the lentil soup. I would say it was good and how a lentil soup should be. Main meal I got the raviolo which I must say was amazing! So differnt than anything I have had before and it paired well with the pork and chilies on the bottom. Dessert was amazing as well, I got the salted caramel ice cream which had caramel popcorn and peanuts which was a good pairing and completed the meal very well. I would give 4 stars and definitely recommend people to come here!

One of my new favorite restaurants! Scored a high top table for Monday lunch, just in time for restaurant week. I’ve been to a few Jean George restaurants and this was one of the best. They truly do have fresh and local ingredients. Here’s what my friend and I got the following for lunch: Appetizer: tuna sashimi and the lentil soup Lunch: crispy shrimp salad and raviolo with pork ragu Dessert: almond cake with poached pear & green apple sorbet, salted caramel ice cream sundae with caramel popcorn and chocolate sauce Highlights: The tuna sashimi was superb, very fresh! The raviolo was delicious! The egg yolk inside with the ricotta was perfectly made. The pork ragu was a great pairing. After a bit, it tasted a little salty and heavy. We shared so having the salad was a good balance. The dessert was the cherry on top of a very good meal! I loved the almond cake the most. It was moist and scrumptious! The service was very very good too! My water glass was never empty and the food came promptly dish after dish. I was curious about the ‘grain salad’ blend and asked one waitress. She didn’t know but another waiter came by to tell me, which I really appreciated. They gladly welcomed any feedback that I had too because some of the dishes were new. Will definitely come here again!

One of our favourite NYC meals and definitely the best service we received! First off, the décor in this restaurant is cool. Loved the way the place looked with the exposed wood beams, and the mixture of natural wood and painted white for the furniture. The room felt warm and modern at the same time. When we were there, all the servers wore plaid shirts which helped them to stand out against the décor. This is probably the only restaurant we’ve been to in NYC where we had a reservation and they seated us BEFORE our whole party arrived! I was the first to get there and thought I would be waiting in the entrance for a while, but not the case! They seated me right away, no problem. Amazing. It was incredibly busy and packed while we were there but we never felt rushed and even after we had finished our meal and paid our bill, the servers kept coming back to refill our water glasses and make sure we were taken care of. Attentive but not overbearing. We tried several appetizers and salads, unfortunately I can’t remember all of them. For entrée, I had the Ricotta Ravioli which I loved. New York really knows how to do pasta right! We were stuffed by dessert but the 4 of us shared the Sundae — Salted caramel ice cream with candied popcorn and peanuts and chocolate sauce. I guess it’s not really my thing(I don’t love peanuts or caramel corn!) but I’m sure it would appeal to others. Wish I could comment more on the food(lack of memory, not that it was at all bad), but overall this restaurant really impressed and I would highly recommend it!

Wow, I rarely gave a sandwich 5 stars and I normally avoid sandwiches after eating too many during my college years. Came here for 2pm RW lunch. It was very disappointed to be notified that they went out of raviolo with pork ragu and they replaced it with a turkey sandwich. Deduct one star. Appetizer Crab toast $ 16 — 5 stars — ordered this outside of RW menu ahi tuna sashimi — 3 stars — not crazy about the sauce kale salad — 3 stars — pretty good lentil soup — 4 stars — steamy hot and tasty Entrée shrimp salad — 3.5 stars — the coating of the shrimp was really good. Not crazy about the rest of the dish turkey sandwich –5 stars — the sandwich was big and turkey was moist. The combination of bacon/sauce/bread was so GOOD. portabello mushroom sandwich — 4 stars — it has a nice kick. Dessert salt caramel ice cream with popcorn — 4 stars — love the bowl it was served with. almond cake with apple sorbet and poached pear — 3 stars — I do not like the almond cake. It was too dense and dry for me. The poached pear could be better. But the apple sorbet was SO good and refreshing. I wished it was the main focus. Décor — 5 stars love the place and the plates used for the food. Service — 5 stars Will definitely come back… we still talked about the turkey sandwich…

I came here for restaurant week lunch. The food was very good but more of a comfort food good. It was very filling. I started with the ahi tuna sashimi, flavorful but soaked in soy sauce. For the entrée I had the raviolo with pork ragu. This is basically a giant ravioli that when you break it has an egg inside and ricotta. It’s on top of delicious pork. This dish was so good, so very very good. However, it’s extremely filling and is a dish I could have easily shared with someone(especially since you get two other dishes for restaurant week). We finished with the almond cake(excellent) and the caramel ice cream sundae with caramel popcorn which was good but nothing particularly special/innovative/exciting. The ambiance is fun. It’s a very cute, well decorated restaurant. This is a good place to go to enjoy a good meal with friends. Oh but I did find the beer(3 drafts) and cocktail lists uninspired. NB: three course lunch for $ 33 is a value and good way to try this place out!

The ambiance in the restaurant is wonderful. The place is lit with beautiful lights and the fixtures are all beautiful and classy looking. I was extremely lucky to be seated immediately when I stepped in. It turns out that ABC Kitchen is fully reserved for the next two weeks. How popular! My two favorite dishes that I got was the Crab Toast and the Mushroom, Parmesan, Oregano, and Farm Egg Pizza. Oh, I lied. It’s three – I love the Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundae too. Those three dishes are my recommendation for a must try for first time. Oh, and for all my wine people – their Merlot and Chardonnay is wonderful. I need to find out which bottle it is from! Now go try ABC Kitchen!

I came here for the restaurant week deal and was very excited to try this Jean-Georges establishment. I had to really bite down and check for a dropped reservation every hour, on the hour this week and I finally snagged one for a Friday lunch. The entrance to this restaurant is deceivingly small and subtle considering how massive it is inside. It was very busy during this lunch hour, but because it was so spacious it didn’t feel too crowded. The interior is very hip with young vibes and minimalistic in design which matches the organic, fresh theme of the restaurant. They first start you off with some delicious bread and olive oil which is always a plus for me. My boyfriend and I started with the TUNASASHIMI and KALESALAD. The Tuna Sashimi was tasty and buttery soft dressed with a light garlic dressing! The Kale salad was very fresh and fluffy(never thought i’d describe a salad like that), but a bit underwhelming. *tip* after I was done with the sashimi, there was leftover garlic dressing left and I dipped some bread in it and it was amazing! Just a little suggestion for anyone who orders the tuna! We then had the EGGRAVIOLI stuffed with a creamy ricotta cheese and a runny egg yolk(If you don’t like runny yolk, you should let them know!) over a delicious pork ragu. This is probably one of the best dishes I have ever had in my life. The pork was braised perfectly and so soft and savory against the creamy ricotta cheese and egg. An unexpected combination that really delivered with all of its complementary textures. Also, I would like to note that I was stuffeddd after this dish. For dessert, we had the ALMONDCAKE with sorbet and the SALTEDCARAMELICECREAM with cream fraiche and popcorn. The almond cake was light with a very subtle almond taste which I appreciated. It was a bit dry so the cream that came with it really helped, but the SORBET. Ohmygod, hands down the best sorbet I have ever had. So light and tangy and refreshing, I would have just ordered bowls and bowls of that. The Salted Caramel Ice Cream was on the richer side with chocolate syrup underneath, but still delicious. The toffee popcorn was softer than I expected which is a big plus for me because I have sensitive teeth(I sound like an old lady). But, i probably wouldn’t come back for that one, but definitely coming back for that sorbet though. All in all, great experience and service. Waiters were knowledgeable about the menu and were happy to give recommendations. Also, as a restaurant week deal, my boyfriend and I had the 3 course meal for only $ 25 each which is a steal!!! The ambiance was fantastic and I would love to come back again and try more things on the menu. This spot exceeded my expectations and definitely lives up to the hype.

This is a great find, hard to locate as the front doesn’t have a large sign so very unassuming when walking up but this place is huge inside. They also have stores in the back with cool decorative objects for your home. The food is brilliant, however deciding on a dish is difficult because everything looks delicious. I chose the ricotta and spinach omelette which comes with potatoes, this was good but not as incredible as the cheddar biscuit appetiser which comes with a homemade cranberry jam which is delicious and we ordered a mushroom and egg flatbread which also went down very well. I’d also recommend getting one of the homemade sodas both the apple and the Brazil are extremely refreshing. Then juices also look greAt but you don’t want to fill up on a juice here. Overall a really cool find with incredible food, and not they suck brunch menu which makes a nice change.

ABC Kitchen provides a full dining experience. From the food to the ambience and finally the service. The service is fantastic here. The waiters are so attentive that when my friend went to the bathroom, a waiter came and picked up the napkin he left on his seat and refolded it. He refolded a USED napkin. Maybe I don’t eat at enough places with this type of service, but I was blown away. I even saw a hostess helping customers into their seats. Food: Overall, the food is good. The portions are actually enough to fill you up. Although it’s very pricy, I can see how the chefs take the time to make sure everything is properly made. Seasonal Glazed Donuts($ 10): They give 2 donuts. I was pleasantly surprised by both flavors. It turns out that the chocolate one was a Dark Chocolate Glazed! I was really happy that they used dark chocolate, but it was overshadowed by the second donut. The plain glazed one turned out to be a Lemon Glazed & after my first bite, I knew that was it. If I ever order this dish again, I would ask for 2 Lemon Glazed Donuts. The donuts weren’t overly oily or fried. They were soft, but not the softest that I’ve had. Thankfully, both flavors weren’t overly sweet. Burger($ 24): My friend asked for the burger to be cooked medium and it was perfectly cooked. The cheese is grated, which is unusual technique for a burger. However, it’s not the best burger that my friend has had. Scrambled Eggs with Crispy Oyster($ 23): Crispy is just a fancy word for fried… there were about 5 – 6 oysters in the dish. It’s not overly oily, but you can taste how unhealthy it is. My favorite part of the dish was the eggs. The scrambled eggs are soooo silky(I think they added some cheese) and soft, I LOVED it. Although the portion looks small, it was the perfect amount. I asked for the butter to be placed on the side, which I’m glad I did because it was totally unnecessary. This restaurant does have a long waiting time. Reservations fill up quickly, so book ASAP(like a week or more in advance). Otherwise, walk-ins are accepted. They do text you when your table is ready. At 12pm on a Saturday, I had to wait about 40 – 45 mins for a table of 2. I definitely recommend making a reservation because the tables they seat you at are nicer and have better lighting. We were seated at a communal table, but we didn’t have to share it with anyone.

My dinner date had a connection who got us a reservation for tonight. The space is beautifully decorated and the service was superb. We shared the carrot salad and the crab tartine with lemon aioli. Both were delish. The carrots had a bit of heat(spice) to them but not too much. I had ravioli stuffed with ricotta as my entrée and a glass of Merlot. Nice, light and flavorful. We shared the seasonal donuts and those were great as well. This is a nice restaurant but a bit pricey. I’ll definitely be back but not often.

I’m so glad I got to check ABC Kitchen off my list! I’ve attempted to eat here before, but getting a reasonable reservation time is tough, even when you make one over a month out. This time around, I bit the bullet and took a 9pm slot. It was now or never. First off, the space is gorgeous, and connected to ABC Carpet & Home, but I’ll save that for another trip. I would describe the décor as rustic chic, and the white furniture proved to be the perfect backdrop for the beautifully plated food. On to the food! ABC Kitchen commits to using the freshest organic and local ingredients possible, and the seasonal menu reflects that. We were ravenous by the time 9pm rolled around, so we may have gone a smidge overboard with the food, but no regrets! On the menu: Baked sweet potato with chili butter and sea salt Crab toast with lemon aioli Shaved raw fluke, meyer lemon, rosemary, orange Pear and apple salad, blue cheese dressing, fine herbs and candied pecans Ricotta ravioli, herbs and tomato sauce Pizza with mushrooms, parmesan, oregano and farm egg Black sea bass with chilies and herbs, baby market potatoes and spinach Swiss chard, balsamic and parsley Apple pie with maple pecan ice cream Hands down, the best whole wheat pizza crust I have ever had in my life. It was just perfectly chewy, crispy, and just thick enough to hold up to the cheese and mushrooms. To us, the weakest dish was actually the sea bass entrée. It was just a bit too bland compared to everything else. Since the menu changes seasonally to capitalize on what’s fresh, I’d love to come back for lunch or brunch. Overall, dinner was worth it, even at 9pm on a Sunday.

Hoppin’ spot in Flatiron to visit whether you live in NYC or are just visiting. One of my friends raves about this place so I had to try it on my last business trip. I showed up around 7:15 and the place was packed(including the bar). There was a 45 – 60 minute wait on a Tuesday, which means this place has got to be good. While waiting for my friend I nestled into a spot that opened up at the bar. I had asked about the Ginger Margarita, and the bartender let me know it was sweet. She asked if I liked grapefruit and made me the Paloma instead. Solid decision. This drink was the right amount of spicy with a refreshing grapefruit margarita feel. It wasn’t sweet at all. Perfect way to start off the evening. It was probably less than 45 minutes when I got the text that our table was ready. We settled into a high top next to the bar, which wasn’t bad, but the chilly air coming in the door every time it was opened was bothersome from time to time. Annnyyywayyyys, we started off with the pretzel dusted calamari. Our waiter let us know that this doesn’t have a predominant pretzel flavor, but we ordered it anyways. The coating was fine. You could taste a hint of pretzel and the calamari was cooked well. This came with 2 sauces — a yummy, spicy marinara and a mustard aoli. Combined them both and it was yet another solid decision. I ordered a variation of pasta and meatballs for dinner. They have half and full size portions of the pastas. Admittedly, I was starving and ordered the large, but the serving size wasn’t overwhelmingly huge — totally cool in my book. The sauce in this dish was interesting. It wasn’t a typical marinara, but more like a sweet, almost BBQ type sauce with fresh pasta and veal meatballs. The pasta was good(tasted fresh and homemade) and the meatballs were fine, maybe a bit on the dry side and lacked seasoning(salt). The dish was fine. I didn’t hate it but wouldn’t order it again. Reminder: I was starving. Judge me. My friend and I ordered the sundae to share to end the evening. BESTSUNDAEEVER. God, where do I begin? Salted caramel ice cream with homemade whipped cream, sitting on top of chocolate sauce with salted peanuts hidden underneath. Oh yeah, and don’t forget the caramel corn sprinkled on top. Try to get everything in one bite and it’s the most perfect sundae — salty and sweet. Heaven on a spoon. I would absolutely recommend this place for cocktails and dessert. Give it a try!

I have heard nothing but amazing things about ABC Kitchen so I had to check out Jean-George’s restaurant for myself. To start off, the décor and vibes inside are spectacular. It’s spacious and simple yet feels earthy and homey with farmer’s market vibe. Here’s what we ordered: Appetizers(decided to be carb heavy): 1) roasted kabocha squash toast, fresh ricotta and applecider vinegar– my FAVORITE part of the entire meal, who knew squash toast could be so full of flavor? an absolute must try 2) crab toast with lemon aioli 3) housemade ricotta, cranberry compote and grilled bread entrees: 1) fettucine, caramelized brussels sprouts and basil-pistachio pesto– my favorite of all the entrees we got because pesto is the besto 2) spinach, goat cheese and herbs pizza 3) akaushi cheeseburger with herbed mayo and pickled jalapenos side: roasted brussels sprouts, smoked bacon and pears– this was a nice surprise because it was on the house and we didn’t order it but thank god someone was feeling giving because they were SO good The waiter was incredibly friendly/knowledgable of the food/drink menu. He began describing the wine special of the night and created imagery of drinking the wine as sitting by a river smelling freshly shaved pencils, the list goes on of all the beautiful pictures he painted in my mind. The food was wonderful, the ambience was beautiful and relaxing, and the service was great. ABC Kitchen– you were quite the experience and I’m definitely coming back to try out the rest of the amazing menu.

i loved this place! we came here for a company christmas dinner and really enjoyed our experience from the moment we came in to the moment we left. we had a group of 15+ ppl and chose the prix-fixed menu ahead of time. we got to share market table items, apps, sides, desserts, and each person get to pick their own entrée. i think for the price and quality, it’s an excellent deal. so here’s what we ate and drank: –roasted kabocha squash toast: i love kabocha squash! ABC’s version featured sweet roasted kabocha, ricotta, apple cider vinegar on a crispy buttered toast. it was sweet and savory. –crab toast with lemon aioli: fresh crab meat topped with lemon aioli, on a buttery toast, it was so fresh and chock-full of crab meat. it had so much flavor and possibly my favorite from the night, still thinking about it as i write this review. excellent! –roasted cauliflower, onion and walnut crumbs, fried egg: tbh, not a huge fan of cauliflowers, but ABC’s version wasn’t too shabby, the cauliflower was nicely seasoned, the onion/walnut crumbs were tasty! –tuna sashimi marinated with ginger and mint: the marinade was flavorful and not overpowering, tuna was very fresh. –roast carrot and avocado salad: the carrots were pickled and roasted, good contrast against the rich and creamy avocado salad. –pretzel dusted calamari: crunchy, tender(definitely NOT rubbery), flavorful, this was very good too! –mushrooms, parmesan, oregano, and farm egg pizza: good earthy, robust mushroom flavor(i love shrooms!), but mushroom mixture was kinda«wet» and made the crust soggy. –wood oven roasted lobster: sweet, tender, succulent, with a squeeze of lemon, we’re in business! i really liked it. –glazed mushroom: sauteed mushroom, okay, nothing too special. –sundae with salted caramel ice cream: their signature dessert and i really like the salted caramel ice cream. it’s perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and just a hint of salt. the candied popcorn was great too. –chocolate cake with malted chocolate ganache: moist and dense, however, a bit too sweet for my taste. –seasonal doughnuts: there were three, a cream-filled chocolate glazed doughnut, a raspberry(or strawberry?), and a glazed doughnut. my favorite is the cream-filled one, vanilla + chocolate glaze = perfection! –ginger margarita: fruity and a good amount of booze that hits you later. ;-) –lime and basil daiquiri: fresh! the service here is impeccable, our plates and glasses were never empty(we had a few bottles of reds and whites, but i couldn’t remember the names), food was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the portions were just right, and i left with a very full belly. overally, possibly my favorite meal of 2015. :-)

Really disappointed by my experience here from start to finish. Honestly have no idea what the hype was about. Yes the décor is beautiful and the vibe is nice but the food is not special at all and the service was not impressive. We had a reservation at 10 we weren’t seated until 10:30. The sparkling water tasted like carbonated tap water. The restaurant is freezing and horribly drafty to the point where I had to go get my coat from coat check and wear it during the meal — I’m the kind of person that is alway hot. Everything was very spicy with no mention of this on the menu. Started with the tuna sashimi it was fine. The kashi pasta wasn’t al dente it was hard and undercooked. We asked how the cauliflower starter was prepared it was insanely spicy and this was never mentioned. The lentil soup tasted like lawn clippings. The lobster was also undercooked and parts were raw — opaque raw. Everyone at our table has eaten lobster MANY times and at much nicer restaurants and this was raw. The manager came up to us and told us she checked with the chef and they were in fact not raw. I’m sorry you don’t tell the customer they are wrong. Ever. Especially at a place that is supposed to be so fabulous… Wouldn’t ever come back and wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Don’t be deceived by the presentation of the food in photos.

My wife’s company had organized a Christmas Party here and we absolutely had a blast here! Their staff is extremely attentive and friendly. Needless to say, the service was top notch! We tried a bunch of appetizers, but a clear winner of the night was the Line caught tuna sashimi marinated with ginger and mint. The flavor is out of this world! I began to wonder how something as simple as this, can be so damn delicious! For our entrees, most of us ordered the Sea Bass with chilies and herbs, baby market potatoes and spinach — again, flavor wise, just amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection! Since we didn’t really pay, I had an amazing experience, but I’d agree with a few other reviews indicating the value for price issue. The entrée on their regular menu is priced at $ 32 which is a bit too much for the rather smaller portions!

The hubby and I were doing our annual high end lunch marathon and of course we paid a visit to ABC Kitchen. I can’t begin to tell you how beautiful this restaurant is. Very warm and welcoming, not at all stuffy. The service is also terrific. The staff is friendly and warm without being overbearing. Onto the food. We had: Roasted Kabocha squash toast — Delicious with a delicate sweetness Shaved Raw Fluke — Extremely fresh and delicious. The capers and olive oil enhanced the flavor of the fish. Pear and Apple Salad — Very good Sweet Crispy Onion and Prosciutto Pizza — Very tasty Assorted Cookies — terrific, especially the«mallomar» cookie and cranberry cookie with fresh lemon curd The reason why I didn’t give ABC Kitchen the 4th star is because there wasn’t a single item on the entrée menu that appealed to me and the hubby. When we come back, we will have to pay closer attention to the seasonal menu, as I don’t want to keep eating pizza every time I come here.

Reservations are hard if you don’t make them way in advance. But I walked in on a Sunday afternoon right when they opened and luckily got a table for two! The place is pretty big. Décor is beautiful! It’s romantic, rustic, and antique-y if that’s even a word. We shared the crab toast with lemon aioli, the raw bay scallops, and the mushroom parmesan pizza with an egg on top. Also a bottle of rosé because why not. The crab toast was meaty, sweet, and delicious! Makes me wish I didn’t share. The raw bay scallops were sweet and fresh, served on top of a big shell. So good! And the pizza was perfect for two– exceptionally cheesy and delicious! Please put an egg on every pizza you order. I’d love to come back for dinner!

I came here for brunch with friends for my bday. One of my friends remarked this place looks like Pinterest on steroids and she’s not wrong. It’s well laid out, lots of small flower arrangements on tables and interesting black and white landscape and nature décor. Lovely wood tables and lamps as well. The food was very tasty and well made but no real explorations with it. I will say that the flavours of the ingredients were well chosen and mixed though. I had the French toast with vanilla soaked cherries and the egg Benedict as well as the almond cake. Very solid brunch option and I love next door as well so will take a stroll when I come back

Beautiful place and vibe. If you’re here for brunch, prepare for a bit of a wait. The food was just okay but I probably ordered all the wrong things. Crab toast was excellent. I can’t say it doesn’t taste like crab meat out of a can but they dress it up nicely. The cured meat and cheese plate was only okay. Weren’t the best selections compared to other spreads I had. The smoked salmon with crème fraîche was a mistake. It sucked. Sucked really bad and a waste of money. Eggs Benedict was eggs Benedict. Didn’t separate itself from a regular diner. Pricey for this meal. Not worth it.

Accueil agréable, je suis tout de suite conduit à une table. C’est un endroit à la mode, limite un peu prétentieux. La carte est varié et donne envie j’ai choisi le homard(40 $ + taxe) sans aucun accompagnement, l’assaisonnement était plus que discret, j’ai pu goûter également au porc qui était pas mal mais rien d’extraordinaire. Le service est bien quoi que trop présent(j’avais l’impression de passer ma soirée avec la serveuse, qui me demande si je veux du pain, de l’eau etc…) Bref 100 $ à deux pour 2 plats et 2 bières c’est New York

Voila un avis qui pourra paraître sévère à certains. J’ai moi même des doutes quant à la note à donner 4 étant trop(je né suis pas«fan» de l’endroit) mais un simple 3 pourrait faire croire que l’endroit est bon sans plus. En effet la nourriture est bonne et même d’un très bon rapport qualité-prix(voire excellent quand on le compare à la France(le taux de change favorable y est pour quelque chose)). Cependant l’atmosphère du restaurant né m’a pas plu. Nous étions sur une petite table en hauteur où il fallait déplacer en permanence les verres pour avoir la place de manger. Ensuite les tabourets étaient peu confortables. La lumière était très tamisée, voire trop — c’est à peine si l’on pouvait voir le contenu de nos assiettes. Y préférer la Nougatine, restaurant plus beau qui propose des plats plus originaux, l’accent étant mis sur l’organique, le bio etc donc les produits plutôt locaux. Il plaira sans doute davantage à d’autres sensibilités — et il s’agit néanmoins d’un bon restaurant.

Endroit très spécial, une ambiance assez intrigante entre le côté entrepôt renové et un peu branchouille avec les lumières plutôt tamisées a l’entrée et plus clair au fond, côté magasin… Une deco assez chouette, des plats plutôt bons(les French toasts…) et des prix raisonnables pour l’endroit. Sans réservation, venir a l’ouverture.

Je suis incorrigible. Un chef Francais reconnu à Nouillorc, je suis obligée d’aller tester. J’ai pris le sandwich végé, c’est une sorte de pita de l’as du fallafel amélioré(avec un seul gros falafel). Très bon. Puis, gros craquage calorique et budgétaire. Sur conseil du serveur(«wat is ze best dizert, here?») j’ai testé le Sundae, 14 dollars. Et ça vaut son cout, et son footing. Très très très bon. Glacé caramel au beurre salé, cacahuéte, crème chantilly à l’américaine, coulis de chocolat et pop corn. Un mélange copieux, équilibrement sucré et savoureux. Prenez le. Même si vous avez plus faim. Oui oui et oui ! Les plaisirs du ventre mise à part… La déco du restaurant est simplement ouf. Il y a des tables en bois, ronde, immense, ou des familles entières d’américains viennent déjeuner. Les luminaires, les cloisons, le mobilier donnent une ambiance de «dessous de bois enchanté» au lieu. La salle est vaste et on a de l’espace pour circuler. L’acceuil est très bien, on nous fait patienter au bar, les serveurs conseillent des Sundaes à tomber(voir plus haut: p)
