   Jake was really helpful, with an immediate response when my wife's soup wasn't hot enough. The entrees came before we finished the apps, but all the food was very good.

   It was Easter evening and their main focus was a buffet brunch, so food choices and beverages were limited. We had an outstanding server who took excellent care of us. Artichoke/Crab appetizer was wonderful, as was my drink, Plymouth Fog.

   Two of us went to the Black Rabbit Restaurant for an Easter meal. We each had an item off the Easter Special menu. The smoked salmon ravioli was very good despite the number of peas it was topped with. The Belgian waffle was quite disappointing as it had a few measly berries on top sprinkled with a little powdered sugar. Our waitress brought out some blueberry compote which helped, but still it wasn't very "special."

   We were disappointed in our experience at Black rabbit. In the past, the food has been good but this time it was very disappointing. The restaurant is extremely dark. I’ve had better breakfast at Denny’s for a fraction of the cost. We were celebrating Easter, but it did not feel festive. The service was good and wait staff was very friendly.

   I’ve been to the Black Rabbit restaurant many times and was surprised by both the service and the food today. The service was surprisingly slow. It took at least 10 minutes just to get a glass of water. The food was not as tasty as it’s been in the past. The croissant was raw in the middle and inedible. Several people mentioned that the eggs were not flavorful. We’ll be back to give it another shot, but this time was a bit of a mess.

   Our first time here and we brought guests from out of town for brunch. Building is so beautiful. Staff was friendly, server attentive. Peach Bellini was light and refreshing. Food was delicious (huevos rancheros, croissant breakfast sandwich, poppyseed pancakes and Three Rocks rum banana french toast). Everyone enjoyed the experience.

   It was a little noisy when we were there due to another dinner party that was having a real good time. Lol The food was AMAZING, kudos to the chef. Our waiter was friendly and attentive.

   The roasted Brussels sprouts were crisp and tender with good seasoning. I prefer bacon bits to pork belly though. We also shared a nice salad and the half chicken between the two of us. We still had left overs for another meal. Our waiter was excellent, perfect timing and very engaging, he surprised us with a birthday scoop of rich chocolate ice cream.

    We were there for St Patrick’s Day meal. Our server was excellent but food was disappointing. We had shepherds pie and corned beef. The shepherd’s pie was tasty but it wasn’t baked with potato topping . There was just a blob of potatoes on top. The corned beef was a huge serving, but the meat was very dry and almost impossible to cut. We had eaten at Black Rabbit last year for St Patrick’s Day and it was excellent, so this was disappointing.
