   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.

   It was alright. Slow to receive our drinks and food. Drinks were good, food was meh (which I was expecting). Service was fine and cordial. The place got so loud though. The music was so loud, we were shouting all night to hear each other. Overall it always alright, but wouldn’t recommend for large parties or for good food. Go if it’s just you and one other, for a good drink.

   Noise level: "energetic" is not the word, when the music is so loud, you can hardly hear your waitress. We waited almost 15 minutes after getting water to put in our drink orders, and the restaurant was NOT crowded. My caesar salad had almost no dressing on it, and the croutons were rock-hard, although the salad itself was good-sized and had fresh, chopped romaine. French fries arrived cold. Having been here several times before, I would say that this restaurant used to be better...

   We left after 45 minutes. They never put in our dinner ticket despite it being after the rush. Never asked us if we wanted another drink after waiting and waiting. Disappointing.

    I had been to this restaurant once before pre-Covid. I was in Sacramento for business and was excited to go back as we had all enjoyed our first ding experience there. However this visit was so disappointing. I realized right away that there were far fewer customers than the first time we went there. After getting our dinners I realized why. The food was very plain, not seasoned and not tasty. I had salmon and my husband had the chicken. My drink tasted like rotting eggs. our server was wonderful and provided quick service and accommodated all our requests. She was definitely the bright spot about the restaurant. But you go to a restaurant for the food. Given how bad the food was I will not be returning.

    2/10. Wow this place has fallen off the proverbial cliff. Let's start with the basics. The place had a dirty vibe. Staff appeared stressed and on edge - they did however refill our drinks several times and our waitress was sweet. We waited about 30 minutes for our appetizers- tater tots with raw garlic and parsley - the best thing we ate of the night. We ordered the most expensive items - Osso Bucco - the pounder - the rosemary citrus chicken and the shorty sandwich. Osso Bucco - polenta was cold and the texture was way off. Meat, while cooked to come off the bone was lack luster flavor - as I watch a gnat hover over it. Greens were inedible. Pounder - done medium but charred significantly giving it a carbonic taste all the way through. Demi glacé - cold. Chunky. Looks to be thickened with cornstarch. Chicken - the cardinal sin for every restaurant - DRY, over cooked, vegetable medley - sad 80's vibe. Sandwich - mediocre, bland, Cajun it was not. Overall the entertainment factor from the booth next to us HIGH AS KITES - was memorable (not the fault of the staff) We waited and tried to flag someone down to pay the bill for 20 minutes. Won't be back. Wine list pitiful.

    We were seated on one of the center tables which wasn’t as comfortable. Not sure why we were seated there because there were plenty of other tables open.

    This was the first bad experience we’ve ever had at the Red Rabbit. Super drunk people being allowed to disrupt other guests, our waitress was mostly MIA, but the really bad part was being served a dish with an ingredient a member of our party had explicitly asked our waitress about due to an allergy. Our special occasion, at one of our historically favorite restaurants, was quite ruined.

    We had such a great time at Red Rabbit, we had so much fun celebrating my friends birthday. The only thing that could’ve made it better would’ve been if they had asked us if we wanted dessert instead of the check. I understand the table needed to be turned but we would’ve definitely all had dessert.

    Had an amazing time at this place. Food was delicious and service was great. The bar has so much variety. I was impressed after reading conflicting reviews. I’m glad I tried it. This comes to show that perhaps people have different opinions on there taste of food and drinks.

    We had reservation for counter and got sat outside. Nobody came to serve us for 15 minutes so we went inside. Waited another 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. My wine and my wife’s cocktail were great though. We didn’t order food, didn’t have enough time after so much waiting.

    Server and the ambiance were nice. Service was extremely slow though. Appetizers were delicious. Entree’s were mixed. Half of our party reported they were “good.” But, everyone who got salmon or steak said they were notably overdone. Not cheap for poor/mediocre quality and ridiculously slow service. I won’t bother to be back.

    Food was very good - we split a greens salad, which had to be one of the best restaurant green salads I have ever had. My wife had the baked chicken with mash which she loved. House wines are excellent, especially at the price.

    Underwhelming when so highly recommended. Had the HH Flatbread which was undercooked, saturated with Balsamic to the point if soggy, undercooked dough and unripe tomatoes. Drinks, the Bourbon honey lemon was excellent. The gin, eldeflower, lime and sugar missing any flavor of spirit. Staff, friendly and prompt. Will not return or recommend.

    We went for the Miracle pop-up bar. They were out of six of ten cocktails on the list. We ordered a couple “Nice” shots and a couple of “Naughty” shots. We all received bourbon that didn’t have any cinnamon flavor at all. Service was good and friendly, however, we did have to wait over fifteen minutes for someone to take our order. We were there early, so it wasn’t crowded at all.

    Service was okay but due to the busy night, drink shot were incorrect twice when ordered and mentioning that they shots provided were incorrectly done. The bartender dismissed as us being wrong and they were not following the drink shot menu. Service when about before ordering to split the bill - then end of the night it was not. Nor was asking for napkins for the food - was ever received.

    Food and drinks good. Ran out of drinks and water. No one refilled or asked us if we wanted more. Really busy looked like one server. She was really nice but if we knew or was communicated with. We sat and waiting 30 mins for someone to ask for our drinks. Waited another 30 to order food. She only came back for the check and it’s it.
