Black Rabbit — Restaurant in Cromwell Community

WOW! I have to start by saying that. Its been awhile since every food course was absolutely devine.

We had 3 starters (I sadly didnt take photos of them, I was too hungry)

The scallops, the bone marrow and the salt and pepper squid. My partner is a seafood lover and the scallops were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. I even liked them and im not a big scallop fan.

The bone marrow came with a bacon jam which was so yummy! Toasted sourdough was nice and crispy but not too overdone.

Salt and pepper squid was nicely done. A good staple when we go out to eat.

For the mains we both got the smoked venison wellinton. It came with a parsnip purée which im not a fan of, and they gladly let me choose a different option.

It was so delicious and not too rich, red wine ju was absolutely lovely aswell. Slight smokey flavour to the meat was such a nice touch, you dont really see a Wellington done like this!

On the specials board they had Tiramisu which is one of my favourite desserts. For $10 it was a good portion size. Lovely flavour and you can taste that its real espresso coffee they use to make instead of the bottled sweet stuff some places get. It was so big i couldn’t finish it! Have some lovely raspberries in it aswell which added a nice touch. My only critique would be i wish it was fresh cream ontop, as it was the canned whipcream. Still yum though! If you are a coffee lover you will definitely enjoy this dessert.

It was nice and quiet as we went at 5:30pm. They open at 5pm for dinner. I do wish there was some background music.

Overall such a beautiful restaurant. Staff were also lovely and friendly.

Partner is a big whiskey guy and absolutely enjoyed The Cardona. Never had it before and now we are gonna go buy some. Its a...

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at The Black Rabbit over the weekend, and we were absolutely blown away by the entire experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere struck a perfect balance between relaxed and refined.

The biggest challenge of the evening? Choosing what to order, everything on the menu sounded incredible. We ultimately went with the wasabi squid, buffalo wings, scallops, mixed grill, and banana split. While the buffalo wings were delicious, the squid truly stole the show, delivering the perfect wasabi kick that made the dish stand out.

The chef’s special scallops were next-level, absolutely mind blowing. You could feel the chef’s passion and creativity in every bite, with layers of flavour that came together in stunning harmony.

Then came the mixed grill, a dream for any carnivore. The brisket in particular was unforgettable, hands down the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat I’ve ever tasted.

For a relatively unassuming spot tucked away off the beaten path, The Black Rabbit delivered cuisine that could rival some of the best restaurants around. The chef is clearly a master of his craft.

If you have the chance to dine here, don’t hesitate. It’s well...

We heard great reviews about this place, and we were also told to expect a little wait, that said the place was very busy, it's new years day after all. The waitresses had to apologize to customers as they were running out of food, which must have been stressful, but they handled it with good humour and calmness, our food finally arrived and boy was it worth the wait, my partner had the chicken stir fry noodles, bursting will flavour, and I had the homemade steak pie with chips and salad, it was outstanding, I can't remember having a pie that good, on the side it had a delicious relish that was a perfect match. Overall it was a great experience, great value and I have to take my hat off to the hard working staff. Best of luck from the Irish...
