Cute place, friendly staff, food was amazing. Came here about 3 times in 1 month the only issue is every time it’s time to get the bill we wait about 30-35 minutes.

I am generally a happy person.I just got happier, Absinthe has a happy hour!! Way to bring it back, and offer great value on alcohol and snacks. Duck wings, fries, cheese platter and half priced wine made my afternoon better than expected. Emily ( my server) made me feel like I was the only person in the entire restaurant

It’s really tasty, well cooked, the portion are good because I finished every single things and it’s rare (lol). I loved the salad sauce, the meat was really good, and the mousse of the dessert had a good density ! + the cocktail are so good too. In fine, you should come you will not be disappointed!!

I went with my partner. She ordered a salmon, her dish was not cooked properly, it was almost raw. Another hand, the attention or waitress service it was really good, the woman was so nice and really polite. But the kitchen has to improve a lot, even my duck it was good, all the dishes has to be a good. also in my reservation I asked for gluten free options for my partner due to she is intolerant to celiac, but the options were limited.

These aren’t my photos although I wish they were. The food my husband and I got was nothing like it. I had talked up the burger so much as my husband loves burgers but unfortunately his burger was pale in comparison. Bun fell apart, and I don’t think there was bacon. He liked it but it wasn’t“as advertised”. The steak I got for my steak frites was sirloin. Had I known I would not have ordered it. I only ate half because it was too chewy. This is perhaps something the server could have mentioned and it was my bad for not asking. I realize that times are tough as I work in the industry myself but cutting too maybe corners makes for a regrettable experience. To top it off wines by the glass are way over priced. They could at least give 6oz for a $17 glass of wine.

Delicious food and great service. Would recommend the salmon, steak frites, and escargot.

Came for lunch with my wife, and tried out their 3 course lunch for $30 which included an appetizer, main, and dessert. Food tasted great and atmosphere was good. It did get busy and service slowed down a bit, but I would definitely come again.

Took an elderly relative for lunch here without knowing anything about this restaurant. We had a wonderful time. Service was professional, friendly, and personal. Menu had very good variety. We chose the lunches that included appetizer and dessert which was a good value. We had pasta dish and smoked salmon baguette. Food was excellent.

A very solid duck breast accompanied by seasonal mushrooms and garnishes. I liked it so much I came back a second time and it was equally as good! I also enjoyed their mushroom bisque garnished with a beautiful basil oil. However, skip the desserts; they aren't good. The crème brûlée is burnt on top and the sugar layer is much too thick. Overall, the desserts are much too sweet and lack authenticity.

We opted for the four course tasting menu with wine pairing. Every course was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the seafood appetizer. Beef Wellington was cooked perfectly. The portions are generous. Service was well paced. Not slow but not too rushed.
