Netta the bartender gave us top notch service, and she had an amazing, warm personality. She remembered names, she perfectly read our needs & was right on spot only when we needed her, was a complete joker that made us laugh, and even made references to Star Wars & Comi-Con! Drinks were creative and playful. The Pumpkin Flip Martini is an egg based cocktail that is not nearly as sweet as it sounds but features more of a cinnamon-y, creamy pumpkin flavor. It is something you might drink while enjoying a crisp sunny fall day sitting in a comfy Adirondack chair in the middle of a pumpkin patch. I think the other was a Maple Old Fashioned...quite a strong drink with bacon garnish!

To top off my breakfast themed drink choices, we had the Chicken & Waffles. They are so good and come with a huge piece of fried chicken breast on top of a Belgian waffle and a side of maple glazed Brussels sprouts. It was perfect for sharing at the bar with drinks. Although, we were so enthralled with the yumminess, that we devoured it without bothering to ask for more of the anise maple syrup. Might I suggest to Peculiar Rabbit that they automatically provide a small side of syrup in a little ramekin, as likely most people will require more if they are taking a more leisurely approach to eating than we did.

It was a cold evening so we sat at the bar on the first floor, but they had a nice brick fire pit on the front patio outside. It is a perfect spot for gathering a group of friends and having drinks around the fire. And the view of Uptown from the patio or the rooftop terrace is stunning! The overall design and ambiance of the place makes you feel equally comfortable visiting in workout gear or dressy attire.

To sum it up, Peculiar Rabbit is a great place for artistic drinks, inspiring food, beautiful views, and laugh-out-loud fun with the staff and your friends. And a special thanks to Netta for making our visit one we want to do all over again!
