Had a great experience at Abigail Street - came here to celebrate my birthday with a friend and both of us are Gluten Free - they had a separate menu where they had marked up what is GF and what can be made GF. The chef and staff were super accommodating and even adjusted one menu item that was marked as non-GF to make it GF for me! For our meal we shared the wood grilled Octopus which was so tasty and fresh, the roasted beet and lebna salad which was larger portion than I expected, as well as the piri piri chicken dish which was super tender and bursting with flavor. We both opted for the pink negroni which was a nice milder negroni. Our server was very attentive and filled our water often. The atmosphere is great here as always and the expansion into the space next door is very welcome as it opens up more reservation opportunities. Thank you for a great meal and cannot wait to be back!

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to in the whole country, and that's no exaggeration! The food here is so good, that a couple of dishes I specifically mentioned to my waiter that they were the best I have had anywhere in the United States. I cannot recommend this place enough. Period. I started with the roasted beets and lebna, and that was easily the best beet salad I have had anywhere. First, the amount of beets, both red and golden, were abundant, and the earthy flavor is kept, which I believe should be the case. The toasted hazelnuts were very appropriate as the flavor of toasting, along with the crunchiness of hazelnut, offered both flavor and texture elevation. Then, the baby kale honestly tasted like spinach, which was such a pleasant surprise because kale itself doesn't taste good, but spinach tastes much better, and the baby kale in this dish offered a very enjoyable experience! Then of course, the lebna was very effective at reducing, but not eliminating, the earthy flavor that beets are supposed to have. The potato gnocchi was a pleasant surprise because I did not expect it to have corn curry puree, and it worked so well! With the mushrooms and sweet corn, the gnocchi had so many layers of flavors that it became a whole new flavor itself, and the tastiness was even bigger than the sum of these flavors combined. My partner had the bouillabaisse and enjoyed it very much as well! I don't have any more to contribute for that dish. But I then ordered a wood grilled octopus, and man, it was out of this world. The octopus itself was juicy and succulent. Tasting it by itself was one flavor. Dipping it in the hummus and tomato, onion, and lemon mixture was another flavor. One could enjoy multiple flavor profiles with this one! But I actually would highly recommend eating the octopus by itself, and then mixing the shredded merguez sausage with all the other stuff in there, like chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, lemon, jalapeños, and hummus. The sausage bits themselves were juicy for sure, but one could get tired of the oiliness after a while, so combining everything would allow one to easily consume everything. If I had to nitpick, I would prefer the chickpeas to be in their original forms, and just lightly toasted, because I think fried chickpeas tasted less like chickpeas but became less distinguishable from other kinds of fried nuts. Maybe this is because I follow a pretty vegan diet at home and love chickpeas. Regardless, this dish was nothing short of amazing as is already! And dessert, pistachio baklava, the best baklava I have ever had. Before I picked it up, I could literally see the pistachio sweet mixture overflowing, which meant that it was freshly made, and honestly, that made all the difference, because it didn't taste dry or hard like how baklava would taste if placed for a long time. The freshness was what made it taste so good, and I would highly recommend it. After dinner, we just took the connector train to take a walk by the riverfront. I couldn't stop talking about how happy I was about the food. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd come back to Cincy just for this. Either way, highly recommend!!

I was told that it was a crime that I had not been to Abigail's St yet and now I can see why. The Mediterranean small plates establishment has a cozy, classy vibe with excellent and attentive service. The beet and labneh salad was tart, balanced, and nutty. The falafel was the best I've had and so crispy with potent notes of garlic, cumin, and mint. The shrimp was juicy with strong flavors and the curry and roasted corn gnocchi was fantastic! While everything was great, the falafel and gnocchi stole the show! We did not get the ricotta and broccoli despite them being heavily recommended to us due to it being the same price as all the other items and being much smaller and less substantial. We are eager to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Some of the best restaurant dishes I've had in a while. Came here for a special anniversary dinner. We made reservations which I'd recommend because they get booked! The music was loud but an eclectic mix of jazz and edm type stuff. The AC was chilly but with some alcohol or soup you'll warm up We ordered: Mussels - our favorite dish! Came with enough for 3 people as a shareable plate or appetizer. Make sure you ask for extra bread. The grilled smokiness on the bread makes it great on its own even. The sauces is out of this world! Octopus - it had a great smoky grilled flavor. The texture was like cooked tuna. I loved the chickpeas and dip on the side though. #2 dish. Lamb Ravioli - not what I expected but very tasty. #3 of the 3 dishes. I wasn't expecting the ravioli pieces to be split down the middle, half with the lamb and half with the polenta. The mushrooms were delicious. Service from Alex was also great. He checked in at just the right times and suggested some good wine.

The best coffee in town! Delicious Turkish coffee with spices, well rounded, not bitter and not burned. Also the best spin on baklava I've had - a bit saltier and less sweet than your traditional one. The pistachio filling is perfectly balanced. We have tried some of their food as well, which is very good.

Absolutely amazing food and flavors that will blow your taste palette! Service is excellent and great atmosphere! Definitely a must hit in Cincinnati!

Abigail is always such a treat. Came back to my beloved Cincinnati to visit for a short few days, and I had to squeeze in a meal here. The mussels, the octopus, the whipped ricotta with honey. Everything here is just chef's kiss!!! We got bar seats and I think I'm going to start doing it a lot more often. You get to talk to the bartenders. I also forgot how amazing the midwestern hospitality truly is. The vibe here is also amazing. I can't wait until I return to Cincy and eat here again!

Popped in at 8:30 on Saturday night and lucked into a table for 2. Had great service. Attentive. Ordered an espresso martini and a glass of orange wine. Both were great. Started with the gnocchi. Very light but still cheesy. Have to order the octopus. It's just that good. Tender. Love the chickpeas. Star of the night might've been the broccoli. It was spiced perfectly. The sauce was insane. Love the vibe of the place. Can't wait to go back.

Incredible dining experience at Abigail Street. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday evening, but they were able to seat us within 30 minutes (table of 2). The service was outstanding, every dish was brought out one at a time and the table settings were changed between courses. We had the falafel, bacon-wrapped dates, scallops, and lamb spaghetti. All were delicious, but if we had to pick a favorite it would probably be the Bay Scallops. The combination of the scallops, pear, pork belly, and potato was so unique and savory. Highly recommend!

What a great place. Small plates. Good beer. Good service. We had so many different choices on our night I lost track. Keep ordering, everything is unique.
