People watch and indulge in the fabulous dining at this San Francisco favorite. Known equally well for its affluent clientele and its oven-roasted chicken, this hot spot is worth the wait. Dinner entrees are nominally priced, though specials will cost you a bit more. If you are not enamored with the dinner scene, try visiting late mornings or early afternoons when you can sip on a latte (or scarf a Gorgonzola-topped burger) and watch the fog lift.
Aunque la mítica bebida que le da nombre a este lugar no se sirve aquí, se ofrecen bebidas igual de potentes. Hay bebidas que son la especialidad, como el Perfect Pear y el Ginger Rogers, que parecen contener puro alcohol, y hasta un simple margarita puede pegar fuerte. Quienes buscan algo para mitigar los efectos de la bebida fuerte, entonces pueden comerse los maníes típicos de Absinthe. Este bar cuenta con pan con una capa de higo, croque monsieur y mucho más. El menú cambia diariamente, pero cualquiera de los antipastos son deliciosos, al igual que el confit de pato. Se puede disfrutar de la comida en la sala principal o en una mesa en la vereda, pero quien busque un lugar más tranquilo, puede reservar una mesa en el comedor privado.
