- AAshleyChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on May 23, 2026My husband and I visited The Musket Room this past Saturday, and the entire experience was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we sat down to the final bite, it was clear that the people here truly love what they do. The chef was phenomenal, putting together a brilliant New Orleans/Bayou-inspired menu that completely blew us away. In a tasting menu of this caliber, you would naturally expect the proteins to be the star of the show. And don't get me wrong—they were absolutely fabulous. However, it was the sides and sauces that brought this dining experience to an entirely new level. It all starts and ends with the Potato Salad. It’s a humble side dish, but it was so legendary that it actually inspired me to write this review. The chef mentioned that he learned how to make it from the best—his grandmother—and after tasting it, I could not agree more. It was the perfect blend of comfort and culinary mastery. The beverage program was equally impressive. Our sommelier was extremely personable and elevated our meal by sharing the story behind the wines chosen for each pairing. It wasn't just a pour of wine; it was a curated journey that perfectly complemented the Southern-inspired flavors on our plates. Run, don't walk, to this restaurant. The menu is inspired, the hospitality is warm and genuine, and the chef has truly learned from the best. We cannot wait to return!More infoThe Musket Room$$$$• American• NoLita•4.6
- JJoyceGoldNew York City •36 reviews5.0Dined on May 21, 2026ABC Kitchen is my favorite restaurant(s)... I love both NYC and Bklyn. ABC Kitchen in NYC has such a refined air and the service is impeccable. Regarding the food, it's hard to beat these entrees and sides. Simply outstanding. And actually, regarding ingredients, it's also the only restaurant that I will order meat and/or dessert. I think that says a lot. Nick the manager was lovely that evening.More infoABC Kitchen$$$$• Contemporary American• Gramercy Park•4.6
