Having been there multiple times before, we came in with certain expectations, and unfortunately, those expectations were not met. First, the menu has gotten a lot more limited since we had last been there. We ordered calamari and sprouts as appetizers, the calamari being excellent and the sprouts being ok. For entrees, the rainbow trout feature was good as was the fried fish. Two others in our party had burgers. One was ordered well done and was ok. The other was ordered medium rare, and came out well done. The burger was sent back, and came out a second time as medium. If you're going to offer burgers on a limited menu, the kitchen should be able to cook it to the requested temperature. I normally don't comment on the wait staff because in this day of staffing issues, you don't know how many tables the waiter or waitress is dealing with. Because of that, I will just say the the service and attentiveness was lacking. We had to flag down someone to request that the burger be recooked because the waitress didn't come back to check on the order. Again, not sure what she was dealing with, so I'll just leave ii at that. Overall, I can't say that we would return to what was at one time a nice dinner spot.

From the moment we arrived Abbey's staff was amazing!! We were greeted with a smile by Chris who took us into the bar area while we waited for our outdoor table. At the bar we met the bartender, Dwayne. Not only can this man make an outstanding lemon drop and espresso martini but he was so friendly and energetic despite being short staffed for the evening. Once our table was ready Chris (once aging with a smile) retrieved us from the bar and seated us outside where we had the most delicious meal with recommendations from our server Aaron.

We were seated outside and really had a nice experience, in spite of the road noise being occasionally annoying. The vibe is really nice and our service was amazing. Everything on the menu looked good and we liked the appetizer and mains we both got.

I had a delightful time there!! It wasn't cheap but not absurd-four of us ate with a total of four dishes, one coffee, and one drink for $100-but it was absolutely delicious. One person in our party has celiac, and was still able to get a delightful lunch salad that she raved about. It had a very calming and dark warmly lit atmosphere, we ate on the patio while it rained and it was divine. Very very clean, good service, friendly staff, and amazing food and drink. I would definitely go again.Dietary restrictions: Server was able to communicate and assist with a party member that has allergies and celiac.Parking: Lots of street parking, it just depends on how busy it is.

We were seated on the porch and were quite chilly despite the overhead heaters. The dish I ordered contained three medium sized scallops, a decent amount of succotash and a few slivers of pickled vegetables. Though the dish was tasty, it was way overpriced at $35.

Food sucks. terrible management. Boring. Skip this place at all costs
Sat on patio for a birthday dinner. Beautiful weather; food was good. Slow service but not our server's fault -- he was running around like crazy. Didn't seem as though there were enough servers.

Proper fish and chips. Service was a bit slow but that is pretty standard with most places anymore.

I walked into the Abbey at a relatively uncrowded time and sat at the bar. Roughly half of the seats were empty, and there were three bartenders on duty. One bartender took our drink order promptly but failed to return for our food order as promised. The other two bartenders continued to ignore us for about 15 minutes. When we asked one of them if we could place an order, she assured us she would be right with us but instead walked to the other side of the bar to clean glasses. Despite two more customers arriving, she prioritized their drink orders and continued to disregard us. Frustrated, we left a $20 bill for our $12 drink and decided to leave. However, as we were leaving, all three bartenders suddenly rushed towards us, accusing us of not paying and creating a scene.Overall, it was a horrible experience due to the rude and neglectful behavior of the staff. I will never return to this establishment.

This place is not like it used to be.. my husband and I met here back in 2019 so we thought this was a significant place to our story. We tried going back to eat here with our toddler son and we didn’t even get to say anything to the hostesses (there were two standing there) once we got up to them and they rudely said “we don’t have any high chairs” then turned back to each other and continued their conversation. they didn’t know that I was ever going to ask that let alone if my son even needed a high chair. If that’s your policy of having no kids at your restaurant now, then alright. But your staff definitely could benefit from proper customer service training and basic human decency.

This was our first time there. We enjoyed the brunch. Service was great and we received our food pretty fast. Tried out the coffee bar afterwards and brought home an amazing cinnamon roll. Definitely will go back again.
