Dinner for 8 at Absinthe last night was so wonderfully memorable. Our server / sommelier, Patrick, was attentive, friendly, and caring. Food was delicious, without exception. I had a three-course meal (tartare, soup, and mushroom cannelloni) and added a wine pairing for 33$. What a deal. Pairings were spot on and really complimented the meal.
I knocked over three (count em': three) drinks during our evening, all by accident and all water, but still! Never in my life have I ever been such a klutz. I was mortified (and no, not drunk!!). The staff were swift to help clean up and were so understanding and kind. I would have thrown myself out of the restaurant after the second one. God. Can't take me anywhere.
Dessert was sweet and satisfying. Lemon tart was perfectly pucker-inducing and the churro plate was just plain ridiculous. We ended the evening with an absinthe flight, which was such a neat experience and a great way to end the night.
Thanks to the kitchen and serving staff for their warm hospitality and enviable cooking skills!
Great establishment. The atmosphere was nice, if a bit bland, but the music was nice. The staff was great, very attentive, pleasant and helpful. And the food was delicious with a simple, well focused menu. Only complaint was that it may have been slightly overpriced, but still an all around good experience and I would go back again.
