" A wonderful experience awaits you at Absinthe Bistro! I came here with my family for a special celebration and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. They catered well to everyone's needs, even ensuring my gluten-free sister felt included. The food was exceptional, especially the poached pear dessert! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Absinthe Bistro and it definitely lived up to the hype! The setting was truly enchanting. We opted for their seasonal options and our dishes tasted fresh. My only concern was the duck wasn’t as flavorful as I expected but the rest of the meal was incredible. Service was friendly but seemed a bit understaffed. Still, a lovely dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Absinthe Bistro was nothing short of magical! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm ambiance that set the tone for our evening. The menu offered a delightful selection of French dishes, and we opted for the three-course meal. The escargot was decadent, perfectly seasoned, and served with fresh baguette. For the main, I had the duck confit, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. The chocolate lava cake for dessert was an unforgettable finale. Service was attentive and friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a lovely experience filled with delicious French cuisine. The decor was quaint, the background music was pleasant, and the entire environment felt welcoming. The portions could have been a smidge larger, but the taste more than made up for it! Looking forward to our next visit. " (*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.
