What Mikej Joos doesn't like about Absinthe Brasserie:
The dining room was super loud and even the server commented on how loud it was. I was excited to come back to Absinthe as I haven't been in many years. The food has certainly gone downhill and the quality of the overall experience is not worth the price anymore. Sorry I won't be coming back. View all feedback. What Mari Bonu likes about Absinthe Brasserie:
Wonderful Xmas Eve brunch experience all around with food, service and atmosphere. We sat in the second room having a lovely time. Until we were walking out of the restaurant I had no idea the main room with the bar was packed with people! Amazing. We will be back View all feedback.

Absinthe is an unabashed homage to Paris Brasserie, resplendent with cloth napkins, rich bread, attentive wait staff, and knowledgable wine service, nice

The experience was a bit underwhelming. I have been here several times and the food was not as great as in the past.

If you’ve never tried Absinthe, I’d recommend dropping by the bar here and checking it out! The food here is also very good. Make a dinner out of it!
