White Rabbit — Restaurant in Garden City

I’ll start with the great. The service was EXCELLENT. A friendly, knowledgeable and polite man who we loved meeting. One feedback though: I do think waiters would get better satisfaction from customers if they check on any food allergies. Especially because something as simple as breadcrumbs sprinkled on top of a dish you wouldn’t expect can mean not being able to eat any of it.

Atmosphere: we loved it. Intimate & small but felt warm and cosy. Quite stylish.

Food: it was average really. The dishes are quite difficult for people with food allergies (gluten intolerant - it’s almost impossible to eat here). But also there is a lot of pork which is tricky to navigate too. My husband struggled to find anything to eat which never happens as he likes almost everything except pork (religious reasons) & shell food (allergy). Which the menu is heavy on. Couple that with my gluten allergy & we had very little options to choose from & share which was a shame. The cutlet could have been breaded in a rice type (they do that at kin & it works amazingly & no one can tell). They could leave off mixing in breadcrumbs to multiple dishes that don’t need it. Same with croquettes, easy to make gluten free.

Anyway, we wouldn’t return unless the menu changes significantly & I don’t recommend to friends as most people we know have at least one person in a couple with a...

Run, don’t walk to white rabbit! Food is insanely delicious. It’s small plate style so you can order more and share with the table (my favorite). Wine menu is phenomenal. They have have classic red and white wine staples but also have some fun and funky orange wines too. Staff is so helpful and attentive. The restaurant isn’t huge, so definitely recommend reservations if you can swing it. We had 3 people and ordered 4 items with a dessert which was the perfect amount of food. They have good happy hour specials from 4-5 if you grab an earlier reservation. Even my 78 year old Dad (who is a picky eater) said, “I don’t know what I’m eating, but I like it” - extremely high praise. We sat at the [food] bar so we could see all the dishes coming out which was helpful to know what to order next - the high bar chairs are very comfy. Highly recommend trying white rabbit if you haven’t already & I will...

This spot is now top of my list. I feel so lucky to have randomly come here with a friend for $2 oyster night. The food was incredible and extremely detailed with so much thought put into the balance of flavor and texture. The staff was awesome (shout out to DK- spelling?) and the atmosphere felt very authentic while also trendy in a way. I’ve been in food and bev for probably too long and have maybe gotten a little jaded. That said, I am so excited to come back and see what else they come up with. LOVED IT

Update: Finally got back here and it was just as amazing. Still the only oysters I like in the city. Beautiful seasonal offerings. The potato skins did not deserve to be THAT GOOD. Food here is stupidly good. Laughably,...
