by Nenita Sterkenburg on We ended up here on Saturday post ACL Fest because we decided to grace our other friends with our presence (aren't we so lovely?) and their post-show dinner and drinks were already in progress. Initial impression - this seemed to be some kind of lounge-y sushi joint, as I guess it should be if it's mean to succeed where its located. It was mostly deserted and my friends were finishing up. I only sampled the edamame and unwisely agreed to a sake bomb. Both were decent, kind of difficult for them not to be. My friends seemingly had a pretty satisfying meal. The service was friendly and prompt. There are swell happy hour deals, of which I cannot currently recall (go me!), so should I ever venture into here again, I'd probably visit during then. Kind of undecided on this place, hence the three stars. It's nothing too special, nothing too drab . . . but I will say I'm usually not a fan of the modern lounge-y sushi bar concept.

by Kate V. on Oh, Abbey's. Where boys with fake IDs used to buy me $2 bud lites on Thursday evenings. *Sigh*, to be young again... But a couple of years make all the difference. Even though I've recently moved a block away, the thought of coming here for any other reason besides refusing to start on a 10-page paper due in a few days and/or making out with your ex-boyfriend/current boyfriend/on again off again boyfriend seem hardly worth it. I'd like to think I've grown up a LITTLE since college. The Abbey, however, despite its "massive" renovations a few months ago looks exactly the same as it always did whenever I pass by. Sorry, but not even a shiny new set of floors, a few more plasma screens, or all the sparkly refurbished bar countertops in the world could transform you, Abbey's. Face it--some things, no matter how hard you try, never change. I, on the other hand, have come a long way. I pay for my own cheap beer now, thank you very much.
