Thank goodness though that there is lots of other great food. \n\nI had driven by this place several times recently and wondered how it was being received by the Plaza Midwood area. When my daughter and her husband offered to take me there for my birthday lunch, I jumped at the chance to check it out.\n\nYou can't review The Peculiar Rabbit without talking about the parking situation, or more precisely, the lack of parking situation. There is literally no place to park legally. End of story. If parking in a business lot and sneaking across the street creeps you out then eat somewhere else.\n\nThe venue is pretty cool, 3 levels and the layout is nice and cozy. We opted to sit on the roof. It was a nice day with a great view of uptown and the service was prompt. For a starter we went with the mousse and pickles, which is duck liver mouse and house made pickles. I love duck liver mousse so I was looking forward to this. It was good but not great, nice and smooth and flavorful, very classic. The pickles were ...ahem....\"different\". Okra, radish, mango, jalapeno, and cauliflower, in a sweet, spicy, vinegary brine. \n\nBetween us we had 3 different entrees. I had the braised brisket sandwich. This was a solid hit. A nice mound of tender flavorful, juicy brisket that paired beautifully with the caramelized onions and blue cheese, all sitting proudly on a soft but crispy hoagie roll. French fries are hand cut and fried pretty well with tons of flavor.\n\nMy daughter, Melissa had the Banh Mi, a first for her and she is definitely a fan. She said her life is now divided into two periods, before Banh Mi and after. The Rabbit's version is pretty traditional with a very flavorful pork patty that Melissa said tasted like the inside of the best egg roll you have ever had. I tasted it and have to agree. With the pickled daikon, cilantro aioli, and jalapeno peppers it has that traditional bite of spiciness. Chris had the lamb burger, big, fat, meaty and so juicy that the juice dripped onto the plate with each bite. He said it was really good. He ate it so fast I never got a chance to poach a bite. \n\nIf you're in the Plaza-Midwood area for lunch or dinner and don't mind circling the block a couple of times for a parking place, hop into the Peculiar Rabbit and give them a try."^^ .
