I just discovered my new favorite restaurant. Everything was simply well put together. Interior is very unique, good selection of music, attentive server. The spirit of the absinthe era was truly present.. (pun intended) watch how they prepare it.
I was very happy with the Food and drinks: we had lots of absinthe, royales cocktail - oh so good! I think it is just great to seat at the bar and watch the guys in the kitchen.
Corn hush puppies - the sauce could be less salty, but it's a good starter
Seared Tuna - amazing.
Squid ink pasta with mussels - pretty good, very venetian. (they make the pasta there)
Beignets and coffee were a nice finish.
We had so much fun.
In some earlier reviews I read people complained that the beignets and coffee are a far cry from those at Cafe Du Monde. Dude... you are in phoenix... and it is not a chain restaurant.
will be back, despite valet parking.
