I will eat here every time I visit San Francisco. The flavors were out of this world, the price point was reasonable for the experience, and we didn’t leave hungry. I got the peach salad, which I could eat every day, and the two people I was dining with got the onion soup and cucumber soup, both who raved about theirs. We split an escargot dish which was a pastry with really delicate flavors. We all three ordered the pan seared duck breast, which was phenomenal. Each of us had a cocktail, mine being an absinthe drink. Wasn’t my favorite but I figured I should try it as part of the experience. All in all, between a split appetizer, a soup/salad each, a drink, and an entree, we spent about $100 each plus tip. Really not bad!

For being a local, this was my first time at Absinthe. I always wanted to come, just never the right day or it was too busy. The food was excellent. I recommend the Birds of a Feather, salade lyonnaise, and the beef bourguignon. The tartare, escargot, pan roasted duck breast, and steak frites are also just as good. Ethan S., our server, was the best. He's a local San Franciscan from the Outer Sunset who went to Galileo. He knew we had a lot to drink and gave us aspirin to combat the booze.
