Restaurant: Absinthe (San Francisco)
Food description: Corned beef hash served with two poached eggs atop grilled toast
Food rating: 8.5 out of 10
Times ordered: 1

Well, we really should have gone to Absinthe for brunch sooner, our meal was fantastic. I got the corned beef hash and it was the least tasty of our dishes (French Toast, and Pot o' Chocolate), and by least tasty I mean "still damn tasty!" The toast was great - toasted golden brown with a slight char on the edges. It was also very lightly buttered and it wasn't your run of the mill white bread, I think it was a french bread derivative. The eggs were poached perfectly with no runny whites while preserving the yummy liquid yolk so as to sop into the bread and hash. The corned beef was really the only part of the dish that I wish had been better. Don't get me wrong it was pretty good, extremely tender (broke apart at a touch) and well mixed with the potatos and herbs, but I had to say it lacked full flavor. It just didn't quite get there and was canceled by the herb flavors in the hash. If the corned beef had had more flavor I would have given this an 9. Overall we had a fantastic experience at Absinthe and are looking forward to going back. On a side note, it was actually less expensive than I thought it would be, we spent barely more than we might have at Home or something similar and the service was impeccable.
