    Premier Vegan-Friendly restaurant with a few very exciting and delicious vegan options! Food***** When I say “wow” I mean it. I went in here not expecting much after first glance of the menu and the limited vegan options but I found out many of the dishes can be made vegan and we were even treated to a new porridge dish they are releasing in fall—incredibly tasty and filling. We ordered the carrot dumplings (a MUST TRY), Dosa, Summer Squash Tacos, and raspberry sorbet. The flavors in the carrot dumplings and summer squash tacos we’re stunning. My tastebuds were in heaven! The Dosa was good but paled in comparison to the other dishes we were presented with! Service***** They knew it was my partner’s birthday because I had emailed the manager prior to see if I could set something up with them. The manager didn’t respond but when we got to the restaurant we were given two glasses of champagne, an additional entree, and dessert free of charge! Clever Rabbit gets 5 stars for their impeccable service! Atmoshphere**** Nice outside seating and indoor seating. We sat outside and the noise was minimal and atmosphere vibrant! Price$$$ Entrees are moderately to high priced and incredibly good—definitely worth the money.

    Pretty good! Felt like I was missing out on some of the specialty of this place by not drinking alcohol. Their spirit-free options were kinda neat and tasty though! Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to eat (waiting on plates takes quite a bit of time) and don’t cut too close to closing time. Staff shuts down the place pretty quick and you can feel rushed to leave.

    I’m not sure why I have not gone to this place earlier. The people, food, and atmosphere were all on point!! Our waiter Hector knew exactly to get off the menu for brunch! I would go back to Clever Rabbit all day!! They are also super kid friendly and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our kids were enjoying their time.

    Went to the rabbit for brunch with 2 little kids. The place is not "kid friendly" because they don't have special kids menu. Now that doesn't really matter because the food is amazing and my kids both inhaled the French toast and the benedict. The service was great and we got seated right away in a corner booth. The fat rabbit burger was absolutely delish. Large wine selection and special drink menu. The beer menu was smaller but the quality was there. Didn't see any drafts at the bar.

    Excellent place for a very nice meal. All the dishes had great flavor and the chicken schnitzel was done perfectly. Try the gnocchi, a beautiful smoky cheese makes it creamy and delish! Carrot cake was good but shills have been served room temp. Try a Julius, taste just like a creamsicle

    This place has been on my list for a while. I went there with two vegetations. Food was good service was great and loved the ambiance. Felt this was a bit pricey compared to similar restaurants that I've been to. I wouldn't mind going back there but might not be like on top of my list. Their dumplings and gnocchi were very good. Tart was good and Dosa was average.

    My husband and I had dinner here last week on a Saturday evening and it was fantastic. It was restaurant week so we could only get a 5pm reservation. We were the first to be seated and quickly the place filled up. Regardless, our service throughout was great. We opted to order from the regular menu. We ordered 5 menu items, 2 glasses of wine and 3 fresh squeezed OJs. We had to box up about 1/3 of the food just to get through all of it. The total was right around $100. Such a value!! The atmosphere was cool and cozy at the same time. They spun actual vinyl records and the lighting was perfect! We'll be back again soon! My phone died before I could get more pictures :/

    Pretty nice place with good vegetarian options. Did not enjoy the football on TV, seemed out of place with the character of the restaurant (would give 5 out of 5 otherwise). The wait staff was great. One nice thing is the prices are discounted if you get a vegetarian version of a large plate which normally has meat; we got the brussel sprouts and replaced the brisket with truffles and the price was only a few dollars more!

    Beautiful place with tasty food. They accommodate gluten allergy with slight modifications to the menu. The Idaho trout with mushrooms and Swiss chard is a must try.

    Delicious place! Came here with a party of four total and paid $140 after tax and tip. Really loved the chicken, which was crunchy and juicy on the inside and very flavorful. The pigs ear pasta was refreshing but a bit of a let down on the spice/flavor side. The mushroom terrine was fresh as well but a little underseasoned. Otherwise, the brussels were fresh and light, with crunchy pistachios, and the trout was by far my favorite dish, packed with flavor and stuffed in a light, flakey choux. Service was attentive and friendly, waitress was very helpful in finding us a beer we'd enjoy.

    The Clever Rabbit has a fantastic, rotating menu, that always delivers. Fantastic staff, delicious food, and a killer carrot margarita 🥕

  • 5/5 Jamaliya C. 4 years ago on Google • 44 reviews
    An ideal option for vegetarians / vegans / pescatarians who love going out to eat with their carnivorous friends and vice versa. There are meat options and the veggie options are delicious for anyone and everyone. Favorites included the Brussels Sprouts, Squash Blossom Tacos and the Carrot Margarita 🥕 The only watch-out is that the food comes out as it’s ready which was totally fine for my group but there were some relatively long pauses between plates at a few points. Server was super friendly and warm and did warn us about this at the beginning of the meal. All together a great meal!

    Clever Rabbit was amazing. They were so helpful in accommodating a large group on a weekend night and it was so appreciated. We did several different appetizers and everything was outstanding. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Clean and well kept. The drinks were also great and I thought it was reasonably priced.

    We came to Clever Rabbit to watch the game because surrounding “sports bars” were packed. With one tv by the bar, it worked out to have nice food & drinks (for me) while watching sports (for my man). The charcuterie board, beet martini, carrot margarita, and squash tacos were all very delicious. It’s dark in here, boozy, and classy. Loved it. Thanks,
