    I'm soooo happy I finally made it to No Ordinary Rabbit! We told them it was our anniversary and they greeted us with a champagne toast when we were seated. We started with the red pepper dip and it was so good I could have licked the bowl. I ordered the gnocchi as my main course and it had so much flavor I loved it. I can't wait to come back again and would love to enjoy some beautiful weather on their patio.

    Excellent food and drinks . Pretty easy to make Reservations as well . Service is great . It's the old nixta venue .

    Cozy restaurant with indoor and outdoor patio seating that is dog friendly. Got a few dips, a salad, and some tinned fish to share. Absolutely loved the homemade flatbreads that came with the red pepper-walnut and eggplant baba dips, would go again just for those! Delicious.

    I first tried No Ordinary Rabbit at the Great Taste. Their red pepper walnut dip made me want to try the restaurant and it did not disappoint! I of course had to get the dip again and opted for a dirty martini and asked if I could do their pickle brine instead of olive brine and I loved it. Our waitress was so nice and accommodating. I can't wait to try more of their food and drinks in the future

    Mac and cheese, gnocchi, burrata with beets, short ribs

    Came here on a Tuesday evening. Made a reservation, but when we walked in, it was not packed. The waitstaff were nice, and quickly led us to our table. The place was small, and the ambience was cozy. The menu was nice and tight, and our waiter was very informative about options on the menu. We ended up ordering the following: zaatar onion rings, burratam gnocchi, mac and cheese, braised short rib, and 2 gooey butter cakes. This was a meal that fed four people comfortably. The onion rings had the wow factor when they were first brought in given their size, but it rapidly dwindled. While they were crispy, it was definitely underseasoned. It had flavored, and tasted better with the caramelized onion labneh, but more salt would've definitely sent it over the edge. The burrata was good; definitely a dish to get if you like beets. The gnocchi and the mac & cheese were both really good. Both were exceedingly creamy, rich and full of flavor. Very satisfying sense of umami with each bite. The braised short ribs and potatoes were also good, but not as flavorful nor as tender as I know that braised ribs can be. Finally, the gooey butter cake with ice cream left a satisfying sweetness to end the night. The ice cream was delicious and the gooey butter was good, although not the best gooey butter that I've had. Overall, it is a decent place for a nice date night service was relatively fast and I was satisfied. 4/5 stars.

    UM WOW. This place is amazing. It's been on the list and I'm so glad we gave it a try. We will absolutely be back. My husband made a reservation for my birthday and I'm glad he did, it was packed for a week day!! Luckily, they had a table saved and we were seated immediately. Service was great all night. Our only complaint was there was nothing said about my birthday. We never expect anything free but it is a special occasion and he told them it was a special occasion and they didn't even say anything, which was a little disappointing. Luckily we had another reservation for dessert somewhere else after and they made up for it! My point is - this place is awesome and give it a try but not for a special night because it won't be "special". Since it was my birthday we did go all out and got whatever we wanted off the menu, we warned the waitress so she was awesome and boxed things as we ate, which was perfect. I don't think we had anything we didn't like. My husband said the onion rings were the best he's ever had. The fish dip was fantastic and I'm not a fish eater. The Mac n cheese was super unique and flavorful. The ricotta dumplings were bomb. The pork was so tender and perfect, we are sous vide our own pork chops now it was so good. The food is top notch. We eat out a lot in the area and this place competes with the best. Highly recommend for a great meal.

    Sexy, vibey, cozy, intimate. No ordinary rabbit is home to all the vibes and some dang good eats. This spot is the perfect addition to the grove. A clean, sharp space full of good drinks, and amazing service. All of the workers are awesome. Attentive, respectful, and on point. A dang cold martini began my night to act as dinner's predecessor. Crisp, clean, bright. As a martini should be. The whipped feta is superb. A bit tangy, amazing texture, and a bit of sweetness from the honey. Burnt rosemary adds a touch herbiness. The chicken gnocchi was amazing. It was reminiscent of a chicken pot pie in gnocchi form. Super rich with fluffy pillows of potato pasta! So much umami packed in with the mushrooms, slight acidity and spice from the peppers, and some wilted greens to top it off in a light broth/sauce! So amazing. This place will be a go to for myself and the rest of the neighborhood for years to come

    I really enjoyed my first visit to No Ordinary Rabbit. The decor was bright, nature-inspired, with a bit of a Tulum vibe. The cocktails were creative, and the menu had a bunch of unique dishes and a lot of the ingredients I had no idea what they were but really enjoyed. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly cooked, and still felt healthy at the same time. I really enjoyed my duck dish and I was surprised how much I liked the smashed beans with the sun-dried tomatoes, and the whipped feta app was textured and really good. Our server was friendly, attentive, and l helpful. Overall, an enjoyable first experience.

    We got recommended NOR by a family friend and we were not disappointed! The concept of having all shareable plates was a great way to try multiple different items on the menu. The Corn Hummus and Sable plate were our favorites. The Hummus had great flavor and the fried bread it was served with was soft, perfect for the dish. The Sable was flaky and crispy on the outside, cooked perfectly. The pistachio gooey butter cake was the highlight of our meal!! Our server was a great help with deciding what to get. We tried two of his recs (the sable and pistachio cake) and were impressed. Great knowledge of the menu. We'll be coming back!!

    This place was amazing! You have to call to make a reservation and I highly recommend it especially on busy weekend evenings. During our visit, there was still a slight chill in the air but we were seated indoors which was lovely. We started with their za'atar onion rings. So good! We immediately knew why they are one of their most popular starters. We also ordered their charred eggplant baba served with (2) grilled loafers bread with smoked sea salt. It was perfect. We asked for more bread as there was still about half of the baba. You can tell they make it fresh as it took a little while and they came out hot. We did get charged for the extra bread but worth it. For my entrée, I ordered the pan seared monk fish and my husband had the spinach ricotta gnudi that had some fennel chicken sausage. He let me have a bite of the chicken sausage and it was delicious. Of course, I couldn't finish my plate so I took the rest home but saved room for dessert. I ordered a cigar baklava. Flaky pastry but due to the configuration (cigar form) it was convenient to pick up and eat without needing any silverware or making a huge mess of the flaky filo. What an excellent concept! Service was great. Our waitress had the right amount of attentiveness and made sure we were not waiting too long for our food and drinks. Their cocktails were excellent as well. I am so happy to have had a wonderful experience during our first visit. I cannot wait to return!

    a red pepper walnut dip - something different and something fabulous...
    James M.

    Everything is perfect here - small, quiet, great food and reasonable pricing. Really interesting taste combinations and something that is truly different. I'd recommend this for anyone who enjoys something different and higher end. Friendly service too. Nothing to dislike. Check out the pics. This will make you want to book a reservation and hop on a plane to St. Louis....

    Outstanding, Happy Hour! One of the best things about being retired is having the ability to attend an early in the day, Happy Hour. No Ordinary Rabbit has its HH, 3PM - 5 PM. Most people are still at work, but us retirees can go and have basically the entire place to ourselves. My BFF and I went yesterday to celebrate her birthday early. It was the first time for both of us and we were totally gobsmacked. The cocktails were masterfully prepared and the appetizers aka small plates were impressive, too. The linen napkins, gold flatware and the stemware used for the cocktails added to the total experience. I am a fan of Onion Rings and theirs are made in house and I recommend that you order them. They're on the smaller size, so they'll not be super filling. I also recommend the Whipped Feta and their House Potato Chips with "special sauce". You'll be pleased with all of these. They'll be perfect accompaniments to your cocktails. While we celebrated the birthday, I enjoyed three different cocktails. Don't judge me, I'm retired and can drink in the middle of the day. I started off with, No Ordinary Rabbit. It's one of their, N.O.R. cocktails and is made with rye, one of my favorite liquors. I would have had a second one, but I am a vodka man and wanted to try their Wet Martini. Then my third cocktail to wrap up the celebration was an, Old Fashioned. All three were outstanding. I loved watching the bartender make our drinks from the table. She was masterful in her skills. The drinks were so good, I tipped her separately as I exited the restaurant. In addition to my drinks, my friend had her own. Just look at my posted pictures and know that she gave them a thumbs up, too. The ambiance is super cool and relaxing. It's rather chic and contemporary. While you are there, be sure to go and check out the non-gender restrooms. One of them has a green toilet and the other is gold. After seeing the green one, I had t peek in and see what color the other one was when I was returning to my table. The service was attentive and friendly. My BFF enjoyed herself so much, she is going back on Saturday with the husband to celebrate her birthday on her actual day.

    Cool exterior.
    Eric G.

    Beautiful spot with creative cocktails (very affordable), small plates and a few larger ones. Also an excellent wine list. Had a couple cocktails including the signature "No Ordinary Rabbit" - both were incredible. Food wise - roasted beets; stunning, evenly roasted, burrata tasty; zatar onion rings - well seasoned and crisp; pork tenderloin - perfectly cooked; hummus - smooth, well seasoned. Atmosphere was cool, and as high end or casual as you wanted - vibe was great. Service was impressive - the dishes were all explained in great detail, which was perfect for a noob to a tapas style menu. Don't be afraid, give it a try - seriously some of the best food and drink I've had in ages.

We didn't try the food this time since we just stopped in for drinks, but it's definitely on the list for next visit. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time enjoying this gem of a spot.

'ssippi is a new(ish) wine bar set towards the western end of the collection of bars, restaurants, and shops that are the heart of the strip. The inside has a large wrap about bar and some limited seating. There is a very good selection of wine and mixed drinks and an okay selection of beer. The prices are reasonable. There is a very limited food menu which largely consists of snacks rather than proper entrees. So this is a great pre/post drink spot rather than somewhere you would spend an evening. The bartenders were fine. Nothing stood out either in a good or bad way. The mixed drink my wife had was very good. The orange wine I had was good, a bit on the dry side but overall no complaints from either of us. Without a highlight of the spot is the large patio. It is mostly taken up by large bench style seating. So you have to be okay sitting next to strangers. I actually enjoy these types of settings and I ended up chatting up the group to our right. There are a couple tables but they are few and far between. There are some overhead canopies and lights, and there was a nice vibe and energy. I was there and it was crowded. I really enjoyed it. Just two additional things to note. The bathroom line was very long. It must only be one stall. The entire time I was there it was a dozen people deep. The only other downside is that my wife and I felt old. The vibe on a late(ish) Saturday night was mainly 20 year olds. If I was in grad school or a recent graduate I would absolutely adore this place. Even if your 30s this probably is a good vibe. Once you hit 40 though you may feel a bit out of place on busy nights (or it will make you feel young again!)

I'm disappointed that it took me so long to make my way here. They won me over with the tiny dedicated parking lot. At my big age, difficult parking situations are a turn off and I will go home if I can't get reasonable parking. I was able to snag a space in the lot and headed in. The space is a bit dark with rich sage, brass, and terracotta. There are several hanging plants making it an inviting place. The bar has plenty of comfortable seating and cozy tables if you decide to bring some friends. Caleb was our server during our visit. He was an absolute delight. He made excellent cocktail suggestions. He looked after our group without being overly doting. Just a gem of a human. We tried approximately 9 cocktails during our visit. Did I mention we were at brunch! I highly recommend the peach bite and the Side Car. Every cocktail is thoughtfully made and well executed. They offer a small brunch menu along with the regular menu. I usually always get chilaquiles when they are available. But today the ruby trout and grits sounded perfect. This dish was amazing!! The trout was thin with crispy skin. The grits were creamy and delicious. The dish is topped with a house made radish pico and salsa macha. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich that was paired with the crispiest breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The burger and fries are also a good option. The seasoning on the fries is next level. The brunch menu has a sticky toffee roll that is a perfect size for sharing or not. Salty sweet fork tender cinnamon roll. Lastly, the deviled eggs were a group favorite. I am a big fan of Passenger Chili Crisp. If you are unfamiliar please look them up! It's hands down the best chili crisp I've ever had. It's locally made here in STL and can also be found in several dishes at restaurants around town. The eggs were creamy with the right amount of tang from the mustard. The chili crisp made these deviled eggs easily top five best I've ever had! Planning to stop in again soon for happy hour with more friends
