I have long been a fan of ABC Kitchen, the Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant that takes up space in the ABC furniture store. ABC Cocina http://www.abchome.com/eat/abc-cocina/ is no less satisfying with its unexpected fusion of flavors that appears to work every time. The only thing that didn't work for me was that I was so distracted by the wonderful blend of flavors, I didn't take pictures.
ABC Cocina is suitable for vegetarians. Vegans won't find much.
Dishes are served tapas style and the server recommended five plates for two people. My guest and I ordered three savory dishes and a dessert and found that to be plenty. We started with the sweet potato and smoked cherry pepper empanadas with lemon yogurt. I did not think the next dishes could get better, but they did. The patatas bravas were served with the lightly spiced aioli. The best of all were the soft mushroom tacos with mole, cashews, kale and lime. Dessert was warm vanilla fritters with Mexican chocolate. The meal was sublime and ran about $100 for two with a carafe of house-made red hibiscus sangria.
The restaurant has been open for not quite two years and is still a glamorous place to be seen. The noise level is a bit on the high side, but it's still comfortable enough to chat. Be sure to make reservations in advance.
