| - This "restaurant" is more like 4 great businesses in one! There is 1) the huge bar room with TVs and great tap list, then 2) the coffee shop with comfy couches and a badass fireplace, then 3) there is the huge outdoor patio with fountain and another badass fireplace, and then 4) last, but certainly not least, there is the dining room with tables and booths and another full bar.
Each of the four venues is intimately sequestered from the other, so you can be completely absorbed in the atmosphere of where you are (i.e. when you are in the coffee shop, you don't feel like your at a bar). The result, however, is a little confusing when you first arrive because most people are used to restaurants being one thing and one thing only. With the Abbey, it feels like a maze of entertainment that changes around every corner. However, once you get the tour, it's easier to wrap your mind around than you think.
I have never been too impressed with the food or drinks. I love a good cocktail and mine was so sour that I couldn't finish it. Seems like an issue with the bartender more than the menu. Hopefully, once they get their groove going, we see an improvement in the food and drinks. I am optimistic they will figure it out.
