Wondered what this place was all about and apparently it's NOTHING!!! Ambience is very average and very noisy. We took advantage of Midtown Dining Out week. Gee, all the other restaurants look at this as a reason to be creative...get people in there...impress them so they'll come back... Not Abattoir. Looks to me like they were just trying to get us in and out fast. First course a boring salad that I wouldn't serve to company, second course a Peking duck leg that had no apparent seasoning, just roasted duck...succotash that was bland...dessert...really just a muffin stuffed with plum or something like that. The food alone for two was $70 which while a fairly small sum was way overpriced. So considering that during restaurant week these places hop, and based on the empty tables I would say there may be other people who aren't very impressed either. Also...was looking for all this weird stuff on the menu...didn't see anything too much out of the ordinary. I'm confused and definitely not feeling any need to return.
