In the mood for some “classic” French food and Absinthe https://www.absinthe.com in Hayes Valley fits the bill. For close to 30 years, it delivers excellent brasserie style dishes in a cozy ambience with professional service. Everything was good but really like the addition of duck confit to the salad lyonnaise and the dessert nicely captured stone fruit season

Steak Frites - 10oz prime new york strip loin, green peppercorn butter, bordelaise sauce
