"My first visit to Abyssinia was w/2 friends on a Friday night around 7:30PM. When we got there it was packed, and we were told it would be about 5-10 min before a table opened up. We took a seat in their waiting room. In the meantime, three people walked in, stated that they had a reservation, and were directed to the table we were waiting on. #1: Make a reservation #2: State that you have a reservation. They won't check with you. My second visit was outstanding. Went on a Friday night around 7:00PM. It wasn't packed and we were seated immediately. The service and food was great!"
