Intimate French bistro with a rotating fixed-price menu delivering refined cooking and warm, personal touches; expect a leisurely pace and limited choices but consistently memorable plates.

The verdict

Absinthe Bistro exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional food quality anchored by standout sablefish, duck, and scallops executed with Michelin-level precision. Warm, attentive service and a thoughtfully curated fixed-price menu create an intimate dining experience that ranks among the region's finest French bistros, though occasional service pacing constraints on understaffed nights prevent higher distinction.

One caveat: Leisurely pacing; can feel slow if only one server is on
