Editorial Review for Abode--CLOSED – by Michael Martin

In Short
Located in an intimate courtyard, this hip eatery was crafted by a team of designers who once studied under Kelly Wearstler (Kor Group) and Frank Gehry. The concept: Mixing abstract shapes and earthy colors with exotic woods and leather upholstery. Raw stone slabs and dangling ceiling pendants lend a quirky vibe to the dining room and adjacent patio. Loft-living beach folk and A-listers are fixtures. The market-driven menu includes cauliflower "cappuccino" with truffle-coffee cream, honey-scented beef tenderloin, and wild-caught langoustines with mint orange-pomegranate jus.

Insider Tips

Parking

Treacherous parking restrictions along Ocean Avenue make the valet or public garage on Second Street the best options for avoiding tickets and tow away.

Look Good

A three-course business lunch is a luxurious but reasonably affordable option. There are also different levels of prix-fixe menus at dinner. Wine pairings are available.

What to Drink

The restaurant offers a global, biodynamic wine list, with about 20 selections by the glass. The bar features specialty cocktails like an elderflower green tea martini.

I loved the decor.I loved the staff but I hated the wait, i hated the fact that when i did wait it was always cooked wrong. with a new kitchen staff this place would have rocked.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I was a server at Abode for the entire time it was open. I am surprised the foul blogs going on here. Kelly. Anastasia,Anna & Cyril did an amazing job. They worked harder than any other bosses I have worked for in the restaurant business. I loved them all & hope they are well and prosper. Karma will get the harmful words you place online. namaste
