Please remove this restaurant from your open table reservation list. I was allowed to make reservations but this restaurant isn't even open. It's closed indefinitely. Unfortunately we were not aware of this and went for out dinner. We were shocked to see it was closed as the lights were off and there was a sign on the window saying they are not sure when it will open. I was very disappointed because then we had to find accommodations last minute

I didn't have dinner since it is closed but still accepting reservations in your app. You also asked me for my Apple credit card and told me if I didn't show up, you will charge 50 dls per person, which is ridiculous specially if the restaurant is closed when I showed up.

Overall great experience. Shrimp tacos were to die for, next time I'll just get 2 orders. Other dishes I felt were under seasoned.

Server was very friendly, but overall service was slow from getting the first drink order in to bringing us drinks and food. Cocktails were great once we finally got them. Food was Ok, shrimp on the po boy was over breaded, was more breading than shrimp. Not any wow to the flavor, pretty basic. We have had great experiences here and some mediocre, unfortunately the mediocre seem to be coming more common than the great.

Great food, great service and atmosphere ✨ will definitely be back ?? by BF got the linguini and shrimp ? but vegan (so it comes w zucchini) and it was spectacular. I was debating between the Salmon and Ramen dishes- finally settled in the salmon dish and it was flaky deliciousness.

I found this place in an article for must go restaurants since I was here visiting my fiance, we are always looking for amazing restaurants to make as our go-to regular place. It was a decent experience, it wasn't too busy when I went, so the food service wasn't too slow. The staff was mediocre, so no one specifically stood out to me but the establishment itself was nice and super trendy. U can dress up or dress down and the atmosphere will still allow it. Food was good but not amazing, I was seriously expecting more flavor and uniqness but I wasn't entirely disappointed.Order consisted ofAPPS: falafel bites, chicken tacos,MEALS: BLAT Sandwich w/ Garlic Fries, Skuna Bay Salmon dinner,DRINKS: wendigo blood cocktail, field of fraises cocktail, sink or swim cocktails.In my opinion, the falafel bites were so delicious, crunchy with a creamy inside and with the sauces, yum! Chicken "street tacos" were also good but they weren't anything special and I've definitely had better in MANY other places.Garlic Fries were literally amazing, the BLAT sandwich was so basic and bread was a little over toasted served with the wrong part of the lettuce leaf. Skuna Bay Salmon meal was prob the worst of the night. The Salmon was a little dull but it was the most edible on the plate. It came with pineapple forbidden rice that was overcooked, greasy, tasteless and the pineapple seemed super quaint on the taste buds, almost non-existent, zucchini/squash was also bland. Wendigo Blood drink was too flavored and small, the field of fraises drink was better but undermade, bartenders were so disappointing, they should try what they serve, I did prefer the field of fraises drink over wendigo and lastly the sink or swim cocktails (2) these were made much better and properly and the cherry at the end of the drink will change your life! So good. Anyhow I hope this helps your choice to come to The Red Rabbit, I do generally reccommend it here, maybe the staff was having an off day.Street parking is free after 6pCost for everything was prob around $150 for 2 people which is reasonable but not for mediocre food and service.Visually everything was fine, and to my sweet waitress, you did fine but you must be more attentive especially when the restaurant is that empty.Again, nothing really special about this place but it was good.*wipe the tables better, all that residue and wipe smears shouldn't be there.Give this a thumb up ? if it helped or if you tried yourself and agree.Vegetarian options: There are a few options on the menu for apps and meals.Kid-friendliness: They serve burgers, what's more kid friendly? LolParking: Parking is on the street and is free after 6pm

Ever since I came here for the miracle pop up, I love the cocktails from The Red Rabbit even off holiday season. The drinks here are well balanced. Order the " morning glory," it's not on the menu but the bartenders know what this is. With strawberry gin, creme cassis, elderflower, lemon, orange bitters and vegan egg whites. This is my go-to drink here. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. You can always tell them what you normally like from a cocktail and they can whip up something tasty for you on the spot.

First time visiting and it was such a delight. It’s a very spacious bar with ample seating and booths. The atmosphere is very cool and so are the servers! Super friendly.They have some very tasty drinks as well and small plates for munching on. Perfect place to just kick back and hang out!

Love this place. Been here a few times now and its a favorite of mine. Chill vibes great happy hr drinks and food. A nice blend of casual/ formal setting. Perfect for a dinner date and or quick drinks or even a formal outting with family. And the dinner menu is on point. This is little hidden between barwest and harlows but a hidden jem. ?

Two stars- only because the Osso Buco was amazing and the cocktails were on point. The rest of our experience here was absolute trash. The ambiance: music way too loud. Couldn't hear the server and had to yell at each other at the table. The service: Atrocious. No bus boys, no food runners, servers were all clearly unhappy about being there. There was zero dress code. Our server was dressed like she was ready for an evening at home on the couch not an evening of waiting tables; her energy and presentation matched this. Empty glasses piled up on the table, water and non-alco drink refills never came, dirty plates weren't cleared, silverware never came, we had to help ourselves from neighboring tables, share plates weren't brought until asked for. Server had no menu knowledge, couldn't answer basic questions. Also didn't know what was on tap. What is this? An overpriced Denny's? The food: as stated above the Osso Buco nailed it. The Kimchi "Mac and Cheese" was nothing more than undercooked noodles in a watery puddle of powdered cheese sauce. Unacceptable, I've had better out of a box of velveeta. The Nachos were literally movie theatre nachos. Bagged chips which came from the bottom of the bag, topped with Tostitos nacho cheese product, chunks of underripe tomato, cilantro leaves and stems which hadn't been chopped, and pickled jalapeños from a can. No flavor, no passion, nothing. Horrible. I've had better presentation from an eight year old child who wanted to make dinner for the first time. The Shrimp Po Boy was bland, dry and unimaginative. French fries were undercooked. Garbage.The Ramen was acceptable, good flavor on the short ribs, decent flavor on the broth. Noodles were on par with Top Ramen. The salmon had good flavor- but again, the plating was nothing short of disappointing. Plain white rice and sautéed zucchini slapped on the plate. It was like a rushed weeknight dinner at home, thrown together with no zest, no feel, no thought, no passion. Nothing short of disappointment. Will not be coming back nor recommending to anyone. Avoid!

My friends had suggested to go to the Red Rabbit for drinks and their food. We had gone back in December when the restaurant was decked out in holiday decor! They have wrapping paper on the tables and Christmas trees everywhere! They also have holiday themed drinks! Super fun! TIP: Go early in the season if you would like those holiday drinks and souvenir cups! They started to run out of the drinks when we got around to going. Their food was amazing! And great portions! Everything was flavorful and all of our liking. Just remember if you're going, the plates are bigger then you'd expect! I definitely will be coming back again! Another note, they do have rotation in their foods I believe. So if you come once in a while, don't stress about if they had that plate again, try a new one!!!

This was a bad dining experience for a number of reasons. The service was very slow; our waiter apologized 3 or 4 times for the delay in getting our drinks and for all of our food. She explained the backup at the bar and in the kitchen on a couple large parties in the bar area. The veggie spring rolls arrived cold. The organic mixed greens was described as greens, cucumber, red onion, grapes, candied walnuts, Gorgonzola and citrus vinaigrette. We asked for no cheese and for some reason they decided to also omit the grapes or walnuts. A shrimp po' boy was ordered because they were out of cod; the waiter apologized they have been out for awhile. After a long wait, this arrived cold, the batter coming off the shrimp which probably had been sitting for some time. The waiter apologized and said they would remake it. The sandwich came back warmer but was bad. It was mostly bread with six small shrimp that covered about a third of the bun and fairly tasteless. Again the waiter apologized when told it wasn't any better. The rosemary and citrus Mary's chicken was described as a bone-in chicken breast. They substituted a bone-in leg quarter without informing us. Again the waiter apologized and got the manager to talk to us. He told us that haven't had the chicken breast for weeks because it was too expensive for them and they were in the process of changing the menu and new ones should be printed up in a couple weeks. Advertising one thing and serving something else without notice doesn't seem right. Lastly, the Wendigo Blood cocktail was very poorly balanced. The spicy tincture completely overpowered the other ingredients - hibiscus infused tequila, elderflower, lime juice and strawberry purée. The spicy tincture added nothing except for irritating the back on the throat. Our meal at The Red Rabbit was overpriced for the mediocre to poor quality of food, drink and service. We will not be back and would not recommend.
