| When word leaked that the folks who owned jaxKitchen were opening another place, the town was abuzz. Could they really do it again? The answer is a most resounding “yes." Under the guidance of chef Virginia “Ginny” Wooters, who is also the executive chef at jaxKitchen, The Abbey has ended all questions of sibling rivalry. Duck crêpes, served with peppered peaches and arugula tempered with a goat cheese cream, are a savory start, and the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin is a double whammy of pork heaven. We also recommend “Grandma’s Gnocchi,” with its buffalo short rib ragoût, crimini mushrooms and homemade ricotta. Daily dessert choices will please across the board. The owners have done their research, too, when it comes to the wine list, which is small and filled with wise choices. However, The Abbey’s cocktails are king. |
