"Had the best experience at this restaurant. The food was very delicious. I like the fact they had a gluten-free menu available and that the food is locally sourced.
The service was attentive, very friendly and knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Absinthe."

"Excellent food and service. I'm not often impressed by a restaurant, but this one deserves special mention. The staff are professional, well-trained, observant and diligent. I thoroughly enjoyed my choices of escargot, mushroom soup, and roast duck breast, all skillfully prepared and presented. Wine selection was superb. The complimentary pink champagne for our anniversary celebration was a lovely touch."

"The service was excellent, our waitress was warm and professional, and also spoke French. To start we had the assorted cheese plate, which was top notch. I ordered the escargot, smoked tomato soup and duck. It was all delicious, while presented beautifully. They have an extensive wine selection. The atmosphere is inviting and sophisticated. I highly recommend this great restaurant and will be returning in the future!"
