Would recommend, would love to go back

Honestly, ended up here because the place my GF wanted to go to (tasty and Alder) had a 2 hour wait. So we went across the street and got seating at the bar here. This place is awesome though, I like absinthe and when I saw they basically had an entire menu devoted to absinthe and/or absinthe cocktails, I was excited. I ended up getting a special (I don't remember the name), which was basically ham and potatoes in this molten cheese sauce with two poached eggs on top. I'm doing a disservice to the dish describing it like this, because it was really incredible. The wait staff were really cool and attentive, the place wasn't super noisy (even though after we got there the wait time also got up to two hours -- i.e. it was packed). Altogether, super chill, great food, great cocktails. The one thing I didn't like was that the barstool's foot rest kinda kept making my foot slide off of it, but yeah that's super minor.
