Incredible food and service, but be prepared for the bill! I visited abcV a while back, and the food has honestly stuck with me. As a plant-forward dining experience, the culinary creativity here is next-level. The food was absolutely awesome, and the service was great too—attentive, professional, and seamless throughout the night. We tried a variety of plates, and these specific dishes really stood out: California Dates: A standout starter featuring sweet dates paired beautifully with whipped coconut yogurt, tahini, lemon, a sprinkle of crunchy sea salt, pistachios, mint, and Sicilian olive oil. Heirloom Beet Carpaccio: This vibrant, thinly sliced dish was prepared carpaccio/tartare-style and perfectly balanced with avocado purée, citrus notes, and a touch of chili aioli. Beluga Lentils: Deeply savory black lentils sautéed in black vinegar and aromatic chili oil, accompanied by lemon-braised yams and broccoli. Mushroom Wontons: Incredible, delicate dumplings served in a light, flavorful broth with a perfect hint of pecan chili crunch. Flourless Chocolate Cake: A decadent, rich dark chocolate dessert that was the perfect sweet finish to the meal, complemented by a bright seasonal citrus compote. The restaurant itself is very chic and fancy, making it a great spot for a special occasion or a stylish night out. The only real catch is the price. While the taste is undeniably good, the portion-to-cost ratio makes you question if it's truly worth the premium price tag since the small sharing plates add up incredibly fast. Overall, come here for the fantastic food and great vibes, but definitely expect a splurge.

We had a reservation for 7pm and were a party of 4. The service at the restaurant was great. We were served by Devi and Emily, both very jovial girlies xx Now, speaking about the food, we ordered 13 dishes and 4 drinks. The alcoholic drinks were fab, but the non-alcoholic mocktails were not tasty at all. All three non alcoholic drinks tasted like fruity water. Food however, was amazing! I’m attaching photos of each dish we ate, but basically all the dishes were rich in flavor, had good presentation, and ALL VEGGIE! Portion sizes were from small to medium, but that’s something you expect at such restaurants. So, not complaining here at all! Overall, a four out of five for the restaurant.

We came for a friend’s birthday, and it was my first time trying a vegetarian meal. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the dishes were really good and flavorful. I had the Limoncello, which was delicious. Just a heads-up, the portions aren’t very filling, so come accordingly. The staff were sweet, although one of the servers kept asking if we’d decided on drinks. Other than that, it was an enjoyable experience. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about abcV. Inviting bright space with multiple seating options, bar, counter, window or table. Service was friendly and attentive. I had a 1:30 pm lunch reservation so not very crowded. Started with the green salad, this is the only item I have a slightly negative take on. Greens were fresh, lightly dressed and delicious, but served in a small bowl and left in larger pieces which made a beautiful presentation but rather hard to cut and eat. Next was the bolognese which is as delicious as every other review has stated. A smaller portion but so hearty with perfectly cooked pasta. I will be back again for this. Finished with the cookie plate. Again a wow the entire plate was spectacular. Served warm and chewy. I only took a bite or two of each but by the next day they were all gone. Still delicious cold and a day later. While the bolognese is a smaller portion this desert can easily satisfy 3 people. Tea choices also nice. Can’t say enough good things about this experience. Highly recommend.

went for new year’s eve and was sooo disappointed; the pre-fixe menu as soooo disappointing. same flavors and ingredients one course after another and zero attention to visual appeal: we eat with our eyes first ! loved my experience at Jean-George’s so was left deflated.
