Absinthe is an anchor of the fashionable Hayes Valley dining scene. At this casually elegant corner brasserie and bar, styles mix effortlessly. You'll see some regulars in jeans and others in tuxedos (thank you, Opera House)---all with… Read Full Editorial
Great Post-Theatre Place by Mary R via Insider Pages on 10/16/2010
Loved it. We went there for late lunch...so sat in bar area. The oysters were fresh and just what we wanted. We also tried the Sauteed Dungeness Crab! Expensive, but I loved the garlic butter sauce. Also...we have decided Absinthe has THE…
Haven't gone back yet... by AlexaK via Citysearch on 8/11/2010
I had a sandwich here. It was by far the greasiest sandwich I have ever eaten. I liked it though, but felt really guilty eating it. I will try Absinthe again someday, maybe when I have to cure a hangover...
Great Place But Overpriced by jennie c via Citysearch on 6/24/2010
When I go out to eat, I expect to pay a lot for my meal. I also expect to get a lot of food for that money. I'm a bit of a foodie and only want the best. Well, Absinthe did deliver a great meal that I really enjoyed, only the portion was…
I give it an "Eh" by Juniper N via Insider Pages on 12/6/2009
I've been to Absinthe a few time and it's never been overly impressive. I think that its best to pop in for lunch sometime during the week as it can be overly busy if you try and go after a show or opera or for brunch on the weekend, and…
I enjoy their food here. by rached via Citysearch on 2/24/2009
I enjoy their food here. I don't know if it's also the same chef cooking as the one in Top Chef this season, but at least I like the super fast way they get the food out to you, without feeling hurried. More accurately, I think I should…

absinthe by liltamby5 via Citysearch on 1/30/2009
I know this is supposed to be a review, but I wanted to ask reviewers what their favorite or best absinthe mixed cocktail they had?
Exceeded expectations by Australiatourist via Citysearch on 1/24/2009
We went for the Spanish coffee !! But all three courses were great - good fresh tasty food and wine. The waiter selected a very nice red for our mains since we know nothing about US wines (Aussies). The Buttermilk Panna Cotta was…
brunch brunch brunch!!! by localknowz via Citysearch on 11/21/2008
Excellent for brunch, dinner menu is a bit pricey. Try the soufle pancakes as well as most of the egg based dishes, they are very tasty. The croque monsieur is mediocre compared to Foreign Cinema's. Make reservations because you will be…
Good post-theatre venue... by Mindy G via Insider Pages on 11/9/2008
...If not a little pricey. It was great food and great service, within walking distance of the Civic Center area. I especially enjoyed the privacy of the "booths."
Leaves a lot to be desired by adams_eating via Citysearch on 3/1/2008
Absinthe leaves a lot to be desired. For the money, I had to deduct one star, otherwise it may have been a three star restaurant. \r

First, the location is great. For Opera or Symphony, you could not have a better location. Make a…
great food and drinks by gary via Menuism on 2/21/2008
first the drinks: i had an "old havana" and a "dunlop". both were rum drinks but very different. the old...
Fresh Seasonal Ingredients by sovereign_joy via Citysearch on 9/24/2007
WE LOVE the selection of fresh ingredients on their seasonal menu. This year we had a perfectly picked Heirloom Tomato salad with a very tasty Balsamic Syrup that we have been duplicating for our family dinners ever since our visit. My…
Spare Some Change? by modifiedfast via Citysearch on 9/12/2007
The bar its fun, the drinks are good, the food is good and the service is ok. The problem with Absinthe is the plentiful homeless that hang out in front of the door. They are agressive, obnoxious and not the greeting you want when you…

Gem of a restaurant by sf_delight via Citysearch on 3/29/2007
This is the first and only restaurant in SF where I wasn't asked if I had a reservation when there were clearly a lot of tables open. The hostess was so welcoming and the waitress was really wonderful. The food was absolutely wonderful.…
go for the bar, leave for the food/service by sev2108 via Citysearch on 1/15/2007
I have to agree with most of the reviews on here. The food is mediocre. The oysters I had were very fresh, and very good, but the rest of the food was anything but spectacular, compared with many other of san francisco's restaurant…
Terrible Customer Service by restaurants via Citysearch on 12/20/2006
I went to Absinthe last night for a work dinner and had the worst service. The waitress didn't approach our table until 30 minutes after we sat down. She never explained the menu and took forever to bring us each entree. She never filled…
Decent food, horrible parking by becks23 via Citysearch on 10/27/2006
Everyone seems to be raving about Absinthe and I think it's one of those places that people like to be "cool" so they say they like it. Not that the place is bad. Food is average, leaning more toward the good side. I ordered the halibut…
