When we arrived at 7:30 pm, it was very noisy, with tables close together. After awhile, other people left and so it became pleasant for conversation. I suggest that tables be spaced further apart, partly for noise mitigation and partly to reduce the possibility of spreading coronavirus. The tapas selection was fun and tasty.

This was our 2nd visit and Abe did not disappoint One of the best parts of the dining experience were the 2 full size dishes (NOT sample size) the chef/staff brought to the table for our tasting pleasure and critique--The cabbage with anchovies and currants was unexpectedly delicious--The rye bread cake with rhubarb icing was a bit dry and needed more icing The Latkas and Yapchik were both stars!!!

Everything was excellent, above average by far, but smoked ribs are unbelievable. It’s a pretty sizable portion even when shared. Service was superb. We will be going back as soon as we can find time.
