Absolute Cafe is great. The chef appears to be a real, genuine, trained chef. We had duck breast there that was better than Canoe. Brunch on the weekend was very tasty and well put together. Not like the slop you get at some of the popular Beaches brunch spots. I want to go back and try the lamb shanks for dinner sometime. The staff is attentive and the owner is often there. He comes to your table to see if you're ok with everything and he obviously takes pride in his food. The seating area is small and cozy which is perfect for an intimate dinner. Get out there and support this restaurant because it deserves to stay. The owner has really made an effort to make the most of this odd, two-level place. I think it is fantastic!
