Gnocchi and cocktails were super yummy, would go back and get it again. Fun, upbeat ambiance - almost every table was full when we went at 7pm. Service was okay, not super friendly or welcoming.

The food was good - we ordered chicken pesto pizza and kids cheese pizza. The cocktails were fresh and delightful. The service was friendly, although they charged us for the table next to us. After I realized they quickly voided and charged us correctly. Other than that it was great experience. I would go back!

The Abbey is one of my spouse and I's favorite restaurants in the greater Boston area -- it's such a well-designed space, awesome bar, fantastic service, and the food is delicious. This is one of our few places that we return to when looking for a good lunch spot.

Went to the one in Cambridge. Had the cauliflower and capers; interesting combo but was delicious. Then the beet salad which was huge and perfectly made. Service was good, prompt but not hanging over the table. Ambiance is what you'd expect on Mass Ave in Cambridge. Bust but not too busy. A good place to stop for a quick lunch.

It was nice, however baked brie was cold and my gnocchi was just a bit under seasoned. Great service and atmosphere!

Best Burgers in Brookline - possibly Boston. Combined with great and friendly service and a kitchen that's open to 2am. What else could you want?

It shouldn't be the case that when we desire a grilled cheese sandwich after midnight we are out of luck. The Abbey is a rare bastion of a place that allows such pleasures when others would deny us night owls, and for that they deserve all praise. I love the abbey and to think of them as a 3.5 on yelp sickens me.

We had tasty appetizers (cheeseburger egg rolls and chicken rangoons) that were so good I didn't get to try the cheeseburger one. My food was great - a special with chicken drumsticks and Jalapeno Mac and cheese. All of the staff were super polite and helpfull. I tried the cocktail that was a chai tequila cocktail - was Ok but wouldn't order that one again. My tween had the grilled cheese and ate it (that is a pretty good review for a tween). Overall we would definitely come back and try other things next time.

Came here for drinks before dinner on a Tuesday evening and the place was decently busy with several seats taken. The bartender was really friendly and took our orders with ease as well as served us water pretty efficiently. He made drinks quickly as well and everything was pretty good. The sangria I got was super tasty, fruity, and relatively light. The food we saw other folks getting looked pretty good, but we didn't have time to try it. I'd love to come back to try more of the things on their menu in the future - definitely smelled great as well!
