Restaurants near 100 Van Ness

Very attentive service, adorable theming, delicious food. Best wine-to-food pairing (in terms of each complementing--nay, _enriching_--the other) I have ever experienced.

Unexpectedly great! Firstly, the interior was very nice, more upscale than I expected. I was used to the hole in the wall Burmese place near my house. Secondly, the food was delicious! My favorites were the tea leaf salad and the scallops that came with a divine sauce. Thirdly, it was across the street from a parking structure and was only a block away from Davies Symphony Hall where we were scheduled to go. This will be the restaurant to go to before shows.

My experience at Absinthe was outstanding. The ambiance is beautiful. Wonderful music as well. The food was exquisitely prepared. Lovely appetizers and I had the vegetable Quiche with a very fresh salad. The quiche had a lovely crisp buttery crust and with a wonderful squash to compliment it inside. The pumpkin cheesecake dessert was so delicate and perfect. All in all, an outstanding experience at Absinthe. I highly recommend it.

Always, always, always one of the best dining experiences you will ever have.

Chicken and mushroom bao was good and fluffy. Plant-based potstickers were ok. Cucumber salad is on the sweet side, very refreshing. Drinks were good, 3 out of 3 bangers.
