I've gone to the Abbey a few times and I have to say that it is slightly disjointed. There is a coffee bar in the middle of the restaurant and it seems like an odd decision to make when there could be more tables added. We waited a good bit for a table and so this is probably me just being a spoiled diva, but I wouldn't have had to wait so long if there were tables in the center area. We had friends that had a table by the bar and they gave it to us when they left. The bartender came over to clear it off and was pretty rude about it. Luckily she was not our server and the server was very nice. I ordered the shepherd's pie and it was really good but really salty. I love overly salty things so I was fine with it. However, I can easily see someone being overpowered with the sodium levels. I also have to say...the fries on top? Quit it. There were way too many fries and not enough stew. I enjoyed the dish but there were definitely some areas that could be improved. I'm in no rush to come back anytime soon.
