This bistro, which tries to recreate the atmosphere of a French brewery also acts as a bar where you can taste absinthe, in soft version of course. A chef and a pastry chef regularly renew menus around classic French cuisine, such as onion soup or dessert, which is a great luxury version. Cheese trays and desserts are also carefully worked out.

A great place for a cocktail, a glass of wine and a fantastic meal. The menu is amazing. The food is delicious. Even the simplest dishes are executed to perfection tion with a special twist. Love this place

This would be a great date night, but came for work. It's a bit pricey but definitely delicious.

My husband and I are visiting from Upstate NY and this restaurant was recommended by my cousin who lives here. The ambiance was chic and romantic, the food was delicious, and the service was great! Our waiter was helpful and answered any questions we had. It was my first time having French food and escargot, I enjoyed it very much! We had a lovely evening.

A little piece of Paris in our own city. Food and service and atmosphere were absolutely excellent. The cocktails were delicious too. This will be one of our regular spots now. Also, whoever came up with this peach dessert is a genius!

Absinthe has always been an excellent restaurant - every time I go I have a lovely meal and friendly service. However, I knocked one star off for this review (will update after I go again) because I think the quality of service has slipped. We recently went there for my birthday with a couple friends and we ordered a bottle of champagne. The server brought the bottle, had us look at it, then opened it and poured everyone a small glass, but the champagne wasn't cold. It put me in the awkward position of letting them know it wasn't cold and asking for an ice bucket with a lot of ice so we could chill it. I'm not a fancy snob, but at a nicer restaurant like Absinthe I feel like if you order a $100 bottle of champagne it should at least be served cold; the server should have realized when they touched it that it wasn't cold. It was a bummer because we had to wait a long time for the bottle to get cold enough to drink, so all four of us sat there during apps without drinks which is no fun. A few of us ordered cocktails. Eventually we got impatient so we ended up drinking it while it was still kind of warm. This felt to me like a sign that they don't care as much about the customer experience as they used to. I'll go back of course, but I'm going to wait a while as this left a bad taste in my mouth (literally, warm champagne is not good).
