   A wonderful experience. We were treated like old familiar customers, which we are in some sense. We were seated at our favorite table and enjoyed a high of the menu by Walter already knew we were headed to a concert after dinner. My companion enjoyed a delightful all vodka martini while enjoyed their chardonnay. We split a salad very much enough for two very fresh, followed by the delectable scallops for her and very filling scrumptious classic onion soup. We will return for more of the menu, including dessert, when we have more time.

   It was a wonderful dining experience. The food was outstanding, with a very nice variety on the menu, and the service was perfect. I highly recommend Absinthe.

   We have gone to Absinthe a few times a year for several years (omitting, of course, during the pandemic), and have never been disappointed. Food, ambiance, and service are all great. We especially like that it is quiet without feeling stodgy, so it's easy to carry on a conversation with a group of five across a large table without having to shout throughout the meal. Service was attentive without being intrusive.

   3 of us had lunch at one of the window tables. Everyone was happy with their meal. The service was friendly and attentive as usual

   I have eaten at Absinthe for many years. While the format has stayed the same, our lunch was really wonderful yesterday. The Salade Lyonnaise had tasty duck confit; my squid salad was perfectly prepared with a nice balance of white beans. We ordered 3 desserts, which were all fantastic. I'm still thinking about the pot de creme au chocoat...

   This is a good restaurant I have been to many times and will go to again. However, since our meals have been rushed at times in the past, the last 2 times we went we specifically asked the waiter not to bring our entrees immediately after our first dish. We asked for a break between courses. Each time the waiter assured us he would. 2 visits ago we were brought burgers immediately after our first course. We sent them back and told them we wanted new burgers later on and not to reheat them. They came back cold and partially reheated. We sent them back. The last time we went we asked twice to hold the second course. They again brought it immediately after the first course. We again told them we wanted new dishes after a pause between courses and this time they got it right. While our waiter claimed he had nothing to do with the problem, it has been a real hassle. Just a heads up for those who like to dine instead of being rushed.

   Excellent food, I had fish, prepared perfectly, my friend had beef tender and flavorful. Highly recommended, but a bit on the expensive side, about $220 for two, with wine, appetizer, entrees, dessert and coffee.

    This is our go to place when we have the opera or concert. Used to alternate between Absinthe and Monsieur Benjamin, but the latter is sadly no more. We can always expect very cozy, Paris-like atmosphere at Absinthe, as well as wonderful personalized service and outstanding food. We usually start with the oysters which are truly outstanding - fresh and tasty with wonderful sauce on the side. Their French onion soup is authentic and wonderful. The escargot appetizer is wonderful and creative, and the main courses - scallops (wife) and boef bourgignon with sweetbreads are always delicious. This restaurant is a San Francisco treasure.
