Jake StanleyAugust 28, 2012It is closed this Monday night, not sure why. Anyway, I can still access the Abigail free public wifi from the classic black park bench just outside the door. Great place even when closed.
amNewYorkOctober 12, 2011The extensive food and wine menu is enhanced by the restaurant's delightful and sophisticated atmosphere, as well as the live music and weekly events, which include jazz, salsa, comedy and open mic.
Meeshkite SandwichJune 23, 2011This is where Jim McCray hangs out most often. He might even work there on occasion. If you see him, give him a swift punch in the groin, followed by a gentle kiss on the forehead.
BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Will (Membership): Though billed as a wine bar, they serve lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Delicious food and the bottle selection for wine is both extensive and reasonably priced.
BlackboardEatsSeptember 20, 2011@BlackboardEats Deal: Pick your own 3-course prix-fixe at Abigail Wine Bar! Smoked mac n cheese, red wine-braised oxtail + more
Pumpkin soup is amazing but only available in the fall. This place is outstanding and perfect for those wanting to support local and organic.
The whole menu is great. The mussels in cream sauce are incredible! They also don't judge you if you ask for more bread with that great sauce.
Geoffrey RothMarch 20, 2010Try the Smoked Mac N Cheese - so good. The flourless chocolate cake is fantastic, as is the apple crumble. Both are served with a perfect complement of creme fraiche.
Craig CicconeJune 21, 2011Staff is nice. Owner is great. Good live music and atmosphere. Food is good and wine is reasonably priced.
Kellie RFebruary 5, 2012Order the oxtail. So melt in your mouth that a profound sadness came over me once I had picked the bones clean.- BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Katie (Curatorial): Little pricey for the quality, but if you want a slightly-nicer sit-down place, it works. They have a theme for every night, from salsa dancing to blindfolded dinners.
Sean SteinmarcAugust 13, 2010"I have never tasted anything like this in my life!" -my Austrian friend re: the chilled tomato and melon soup
Come out and hear me play this Thursday, February 11th from about 8pm to 10:30pm. That's a whole lot of me playing the guitar and serenading you.I do get a break in there somewhere.

- Come out for the Jazz Sunday Brunch from 12pm to 2:30pm! JAZZ! WINE! FOOD! Sounds good, right?
- BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Matthew (Design): Delicious sandwiches and coffee. Call ahead.
derek dealMarch 27, 2011the live jazz is a nice touch but probably a deliberate distraction to a painfully slow kitchen.
Scott KetoAugust 10, 2011Came in the middle of the day, service was extremely slow French toast was burnt but tasty, eggs Benedict cooked way over, iced coffee extremely watery.
Jessica MonahanJuly 12, 2012Best avoided. Absurdly slow service on a slow night, the waitress/hostess was unfamiliar with the menu, and they were out of nearly half the wines on their list.- Come out for the Jazz Brunch from 12-2:30 on Sundays! Read more
Sean MannionNovember 14, 2009Good food & coffee. Was disappointed in service until they offered a free round of mimosas.
Fadia KaderJune 3, 2012Waited an hour and 15 minutes for 5 wings and Mac - food was horrible and the server was worse. Never again
Jevaun HowellNovember 23, 2010Sorry. This place isn't that great. everything is about 40% more expensive than it should be, and the quality is pretty bad. Can't recommend.

"Great little spot tucked away in the corner of Brooklyn. The owner, Neil is a fascinating guy who, though he'd prefer to be out on a boat, is the quintessential barkeep with a great story at the ready"
