The Black Rabbit — Restaurant in Savannah

An unpretentiously deliberate exercise in the neighborhood pub-café typology, Black Rabbit situates itself at the juncture of alimentary pragmatism and curated conviviality. The spatial rhetoric favors intimacy over spectacle; the decor, absent of overdetermined design gestures, instead signals quiet competence. The sandwich-dominant menu operates within the American canonical framework but introduces modest gustatory interventions — e.g., pepper jelly with havarti, cider-marinated peppers — that achieve contrast without jeopardizing structural legibility. Libations are utilitarian rather than dramaturgical, the bar program functioning as a pragmatic adjunct to the kitchen. Service oscillates between warmly relational and mechanically transactional, contingent upon occupancy and staffing variables. In its optimal state, the Black Rabbit delivers structurally coherent sandwiches, balanced flavor architectures, and an atmosphere conducive to habitual patronage. Those seeking culinary avant-gardism will find its ambitions conservative, yet therein lies its sustainability: an establishment that privileges reliability over spectacle in a city otherwise...

Terrible experience. We’ve been looking forward to trying their food for a while. We came there today and didn’t even get to try anything on the menu because of how rude the service was. The guy with the greenish hair who I am assuming is the server had an attitude from the moment we opened the door. He made us feel super unwelcome and proceeded to have an attitude because our dog was about to mark their sign outside. Which we even offered to clean. As soon as he saw us opening the door, he almost yelled at us saying that the dogs were not allowed. Wow. After we sat outside, he proceed to have an attitude, threw the menus on the table and started running around obviously upset. My husband even asked him if he was all right and if he needed anything. We didn’t even mind if the dog was not allowed but working in a restaurant you should at least be able to communicate it in a professional way. We felt so unwelcome we did not even think about staying there for a minute longer. We heard many good things about this place but after today’s experience we won’t be back. I truly do not recommend unless you want it to ruin your day like...

This is a great bar on Henry and Barnard. Lots of character. Busy, lots of different people, varied ages. Seating is limited. Not a lot of tables. We sat at the counter, looking out over the street. It was good. In better weather, they do have a few tables on the sidewalk. Server was polite and attentive. My husband ordered a Guinness and I had their Autumn Gold cocktail. Their spin on a Manhattan. Delicious! Sandwiches and salad on the menu. My husband got the 3 Piggies and I ordered the Van Gogh. The bread on both sandwiches was outstanding. My Van Gogh was grilled to perfection. Crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside. The sandwich meats were quality. We split a side of German potato salad. Made with new potatoes, mustard and vinegar, it was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. It was a good thing we only got one side because the sandwiches were filling. We rarely order dessert but we saw they had cheesecake from Auspicious so we had to get a slice and of course, it did not disappoint! I would highly recommend checking this place out. Nothing fancy but a good place to go for a quick bite or drink on a...
