This was the first time that I had eaten at Abacus for a few years and I was interested in going as the menu looked great. Firstly, they didn't have the drink that I wanted. Secondly, they didn't have the main that I wanted but they did have my second choices. Dirty burger was nice and the rosemary chips were tasty, good food. Service was ok. Bit empty for a lunchtime. Would go back for the chips.

I went to Abacus for a team lunch. The venue was a lot better than I had remembered. The food was very good however the portions were a little small.

We were booked for 5:45pm for dinner in their dining area. The staff did not start their shift till 6pm which meant that we had to wait at the bar a bit before anybody knew where our table was. The staff at the bar weren't helpful at all and ignored my friend and me completely. The menu is designed for nibbles and those are not too great. We ordered cocktails that weren't very alcoholic. I wouldn't go back for the food or cocktails but I suspect if you are out for a few beers/wines (things that they don't have to prepare) you might be ok.

Abacus offers great value for money between Monday and Friday up to 8pm with half price platters and half price on all drinks. The kitchen did make a mistake with the food as we asked them not to put tomato products on the burgers due to an allergy but the manager was on hand to correct that. She even gave us a discount later on further drinks to make up for it. Abacus is a busy and popular place that does play loud chart music but good for relaxing with colleagues without a big price tag. They do have an attendant in the toilets selling sweets and fragrances etc may make some people uncomfortable.

We had a mid-week lunch at Abacus, which must be the best value deal in the City, I had the Penne Arrabiata, a bargain £4 and it is a perfectly decent plate of pasta, spicy, not greasy and the pasta well cooked. My companion had a slightly more expensive chicken dish but absolutely fine. Our waiter was cheerful and the coffee was good. Plenty of space between the tables so good for a chat.

We had a quick lunch at Abacus, the quick service lunch is amazing value and I had the Penne Arrabiata for a bargain £4, My conmpanion had a club sandwich, both were absoluitely fine and the service was very cheerful. Perfect for a quick catch up lunch with friends and astonishingly good value for the City.
