" I cannot stress enough how much I loved dining at Absinthe Bistro! The food was not only delectable but also beautiful to look at. Each dish was a work of art, from the appetizers to the desserts. The service staff made us feel like VIPs, always checking in without being overbearing. I will forever sing the praises of this exceptional little find! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was optimistic about Absinthe Bistro given its rave reviews, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The food was good but didn’t live up to my expectations. I had the beef tartare which was nice, but not the best I’ve had. The service was okay, but we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. Still, the ambiance is cozy, and I appreciate their effort in making diners feel welcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just returned from an amazing meal at Absinthe Bistro. We indulged in the fixed-price menu and every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The scallops were to die for! The staff was attentive but not overbearing, allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace, which is always a bonus. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone who craves authentic French cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming little restaurant! My friends and I celebrated my birthday here and it was simply delightful. The food was whimsical and authentic; the melted cheese appetizer was to die for. I also felt the service was attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a fantastic night filled with laughter, good wine, and unforgettable food. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absinthe Bistro is absolutely legendary! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and every bit of our meal was perfect. The ambiance is so romantic, with candlelight creating an intimate setting. The lamb shank melted in our mouths, and the dark chocolate dessert was a heavenly finish. The staff was attentive and genuinely delighted to serve us, which enhanced the experience. We can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, such a hidden gem! Everything we had from the appetizers to the desserts was superb. The escargots were fabulous and the duck was incredibly tender. Service was friendly and made us feel at home. Can't wait to go back and try those chocolate desserts everyone raves about! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! We dined here for my girlfriend's birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. From the beautifully decorated dessert to the attentive service – everything was just perfect. I had the scallops for my entrée, which were cooked beautifully. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an intimate dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
