We loved this restaurant. Our Steak was cooked perfect, it was one of the best meals we've had in awhile.
Had a great experience for a special occasion. Our server, Laurie, was great. She was very helpful and her suggestions were... perfect. Loved the cocktails and the starters. We had the salmon and the steak for our mains, which were excellent and wouldrecommend. Would definitely go back. Read more
The many years this restaurant has been around is a testimony to just how good it is. During our visit, we saw that for... ourselves. Food was spot on in terms of flavour, presentation and the service was professional and friendly. Loved it and willcertainly return. Bonus is that it is in our neighbourhood. Read more
Very good service. Our waitress was so friendly and was constantly checking on us through the experience. The food was good, but... could be improved. I also would have liked more gluten free options on the menu. Read more
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 myduck 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 toshe is intolerant to celiac, but the options were limited.

I have heard good things about Absinthe for a long time and the reputation was well deserved! We started with Salmon and tuna... tartare, and I must say the Salmon was the stand out winner!! I had the duck and was very impressed. My wife had the scalloppasta and very much enjoyed it especially the seasoning. I had the creme brule and very much enjoyed it. My wife had themousse and found it very heavy like pudding and prefers lighter fluffier mousse. Our waiter was an absolute joy and was on hisgame the entire night and very pleasant. We had a fantastic evening thanks to Absinthe, highly recommend! Read more
Went here to celebrate my partners birthday and it was SO LOVELY! Service staff were so friendly, and our server, Mitchell, was... really great. Our table was near the herb garden that the kitchen staff use for dishes. The food was ultimate in taste! And thecocktail I had was super tasty. Plenty of parking as well makes this place ideal for everyone to go and enjoy the happiness thatyou will surely feel from being there. Read more
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 therewas 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 nothave ordered it. I only ate half because it was too chewy. This is perhaps something the server could have mentioned and it wasmy bad for not asking. I realize that times are tough as I work in the industry myself but cutting too maybe corners makes for aregrettable experience. To top it off wines by the glass are way over priced. They could at least give 6oz for a $17 glass ofwine. Read more
