Red Rabbit Minneapolis

The atmosphere was the best part of this place. The unique and dimmed lighting mixed with the relaxed environment makes it a great date spot for more intimate conversation. Unfortunately, my impression of the staff was stale - our server monitored our table well, but lacked in personality. Just smiling would be exponential. The food: The Butternut Squash Ravioli had great flavor (I recommend adding sausage), but the squash was hard and not tender. It got cold very fast. The cheese curds were exciting in their presentation, but had a strange texture. I believe the Red Rabbit deserves a second opinion in the future from myself, but my initial impression was disappointing in some aspects. This presents itself as an establishment with high standards so I evaluate them on. Nonetheless, my ti

Had a great experience at Red Rabbit. I ordered the happy hour oysters, wings, and the cavatelli (recommended by the server). The oysters were surprisingly fresh and delicious — impressive for being so far from the ocean. The wings were baked, not greasy, and really flavorful. The cavatelli was good as well. The server was friendly and helpful, and the interior has a nice, warm atmosphere. Overall, a solid spot.

Great happy hour and time at the bar. Had a dozen oysters (east and west coast), Caesar salad, pizza, cocktails and grilled wings. Everything was delicious and felt relatively healthy to boot. The grilled wings are some of the best I’ve ever had. Caesar dressing and greens and crispy bits were delightful. Cocktails and service was great. Got some recommendations for live music in the area from the bartender (Michael?). Would definitely come back.

We started with the cheese curds and artichoke dip. Both were good and dip was super cheesy. We then got the carbonara special, pepperoni pizza and chicken parmesan. Chicken parm was the stand out dish, especially with a little squeeze of lemon. Carbonara was a little gritty in texture, as if there was some parmesan cheese that wasn’t emulsified in the sauce. We sat in a booth at the bar and even on a calm Sunday afternoon, the vibes were great. Scott was our server and he was great, he kept the refills coming without even having to ask. We got lucky with a spot in the small rear parking lot but there is plenty of street parking around too.

I had such a wonderful experience at Red Rabbit! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and easy. Parking was super accessible, which already started our visit on a good note. We were seated quickly with almost no wait time, even though the restaurant was nicely busy. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our waitress went above and beyond to make our visit special. She even surprised my husband and me with a complimentary slice of toffee cake—and let me tell you, it was the best toffee cake ever! Warm, sweet, and absolutely delicious. Overall, Red Rabbit gave us a memorable and enjoyable dining experience. We can’t wait to be back next year :)
