What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners at Main + Abbey often praise the exceptional quality of the food, particularly the steaks, and the creative cocktail list. The atmosphere is noted as stylish and comfortable, with attentive service contributing to a VIP experience. However, some guests have noted issues with cigarette smoke from the adjacent casino impacting the dining environment and expressed disappointment with menu changes, such as the removal of complimentary bread.
"I ate here for dinner on (12/13). The food is good. Just took a while to get service at the bar. I had the 16oz Angus ribeye cooked to medium and had loaded baked potatoe as my side. It was good and cooked to my liking"
JC Austin
"This decor is stylish, the service satisfactory (we had likely a new server that isn't quite polished but was trying and super polite), and the food is fantastic.
I hate to be that guy, but...Unfortunately the cigarette smoke and whatever they use to manage it from the casino is in the restaurant. Not only is it really unpleasant to smell, but it set off my laryngeal spasms, which are difficult to manage. We got home and our clothes smelled of the cigarette smoke.
This isn't a cheap place to eat, but the food makes it worth it. We won't be back until we hear of the cigarette smell being better managed. Maybe if they shut the door to the casino, it could be better. IDK the answer just loved our food in spite of the smell. I really wish they can figure it out."
Steph Sundling
"We were a party of 8 so had reservations and were immediately seated. Our server Maddie was great! She was very knowledgeable of the menu and even had the bartender prepare a drink that wasn't on the menu. Mocktails are available if you are looking for a non-alcoholic drink, other than a soft drink. The food was flavorful. I had the 8oz filet mignon which was a bit salty in my opinion. The garlic mashed potatoes with brocollini were amazing. The others in our party really enjoyed what they had. Looking forward to going back next year when we're in Sioux City again!"
