Hump day, i was heading home when a colleague asked if i want to meet some old friend for dindin at Absinthe. yes, of course! i told them that i was going to meet them there around 7:15pm. i got there early, reserved a table then i decided to go for a walk instead of waiting for them at the bar. A couple blocks from the restaurant is one of my favorite home boutique - Alabaster, i decided to window shop and see if there's a sale. Yes, there was indeed a sale - a store closing sale! i was sad for 5 minutes, that store had been my muse since...forever. it was very disappointing and sad. it had something to do with the new owner wouldn't renew the lease. i hope they'll find a new location and open the boutique again...
i got back to the Absinthe just in time, my friends got there a minute after... and our table was waiting for us, perfect timing!
it's Absinthe 10 year anniversary and they have a few things on the menu at 1998 price. i ordered the onion soup - my favorite - and the wild mushroom risotto. my friends shared a flat bread pizza for starter and both had the steak (at 1998 price) for the main course. And we ordered a bottle of Pinot noir from Sonoma, a bit sweet and fruity, not dry enough for me. it was good nonetheless. the food was simple and good.
i love the space and the food here, always have, very cozy, relaxing with the dim lighting...http://www.absinthe.com/index.html

actually Winnie, the restaurant in financial district is Zare not Zazie, i can't remember restaurant names that start with z.... so no, i have not been to Zazie, we definitely should go.
