| - I have mixed feelings about The Peculiar Rabbit.
I came here for the first time with a Amazon Local coupon, woohoo! This neighborhood is my jam and I was itching to try the place out. Unfortunately, I didn't have the greatest experience.
The vibe of the interior is nice. Kinda dark and pub-like, but clean and distinguished too. We sat on the second level.
The worst part of our visit was the service. Our waitress was just horrible. She wasn't mean per say, just a total airhead that kept us waiting forever on drinks, food, our check, refills. You name it, she botched it. She even messed up our coupon. She told us we had $5 left, so we ordered dessert, but she didn't add the dessert to the coupon, just gave us a bill for it... wtf? And when she was refilling everyone else's water, I slid my over for a top off... but she totally ignored it and sauntered away.
Another thing that bothered me was all the unnecessary frou frou labeling on the menu. This is a bar, not an elite restaurant. We had to ask endless questions about everything, which was annoying for our server and ourselves.
Also, the prices on our check were higher than what was on the menu! That's a no no! Come on!
We split the OMG Pretzels as an appetizer. They were okay, but nothing special. A little too crunchy and the sauce a little boring and stingy on the portion.
My mom ordered the Classic Burger and was happy. It was simple and she enjoyed it.
My friend and I split The Veggie Burger and The Pub Grilled Cheese. The quality of both of the ingredients in these both was really great. The Veggie Burger was hearty and filling, but the flavor was bland and boring. It needed some sort of zing to step it up. The Grilled Cheese was really good. Thick crusty sourdough bread, gooey cheeses, and tomatoes (which were pretentiously called "tomato confit"). I would definitely order it again. As my side I ordered The Ginger-Butternut Squash Bisque.... SO YUMMY. This was my favorite thing I tried. Rich and thick but a rather small portion.
We split the Creme Brulee.... 2 thumbs up. It was great and the texture was just right.
I think I'd give Peculiar Rabbit another try in the future, but please give me better luck with the server.
