The space has a Harry Potter theme with spooky decorations, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere. They offer a mix of classic tiki drinks and specialty cocktails.

The Blind Rabbit is no doubt a very neat place and definitely an experience, but the reason for my…read moreone star is because my friend and I were treated absolutely terribly by one of the bartenders. We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.

Her warmth, genuine conversation, and generosity made us feel so welcome as tiki newbies just finding our sea legs. I had the Three Dots and a Dash and Erica's Velvet Banana, while my partner had a Lapu Lapu and a Starward Swizzle. We each tried a Snaquiri, too- and several of these ended up being some of our favorite drinks of the entire trip! Erica sent us off with amazing memories, recommendations, and what was essentially an itinerary and syllabus for our Southern California tiki adventure. We're so grateful for her enthusiasm and willingness to share her love and insight. The only downside was that Strong Water set the bar ridiculously high- it ended up being our best experience of the entire trip O_o If you're anywhere near Anaheim, Strong Water is an absolute must.

Greg, our bartender, was amazing--super knowledgeable and great at making drinks. He made the whole experience even better.

We had reservations for 7:45 p.m. on a Friday night and arrived about 10 minutes early. There was no signage or communication letting us know that we were supposed to wait outside before being seated. After standing outside for about 15 minutes with no one coming to check on us or explain what was going on, I finally went inside to ask. Waitress was a bit rude and said to wait outside which again how were we supposed to know? We were seated about five minutes later. Once seated, we waited another 15-20 minutes just for our waitress to come over and take our drink order. She didn't ask if we wanted appetizers or if we were ready to order food. We then waited another 15 minutes for our drinks to actually arrive, and unfortunately, both were watered down and didn't taste anything like they were described. Table next to us ordered the fun drink with the design yet she got no design. At this point, it had been over an hour since our 7:45 reservation, and no one had even taken our food order. I literally had to ask our waitress when she was going to take it. She was nice and apologetic and explained that they only had one bartender working. I understand that wasn't her fault, but I really don't understand why a restaurant would staff only ONE bartender on a Friday night, especially when they're accepting reservations. We ultimately decided to leave because the service was just too slow, and we figured we were better off going somewhere else. The two other parties sitting near us also ended up leaving after ordering drinks because of the slow service, so we clearly weren't the only ones having this experience. The concept and atmosphere have a lot of potential, but management seriously needs to address the staffing and service issues. A reservation shouldn't turn into more than an hour of waiting without even getting the chance to order food.

We arrived about an hour after opening, and the bar already felt completely unprepared. The bartender was eating food at the bar while we were there, and after getting our initial drinks, we were essentially left on our own. She never checked back with us, and not once were we asked if we wanted another drink. For a place I had been excited to finally visit, this was easily one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The service was inattentive, the atmosphere felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left a very bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

The food is Lebanese and like any Mediterranean food, delicious! We had the chicken kabob entree and everything was really good! The only thing I was not a super fan of was their pita bread and how it came. It comes in a plastic bag inside a little bucket and it's a thin pita and I usually prefer the thicker pita, but that's just my personal preference. The drinks were really good too!

The hostess explained their whole shtick: in-house distilled spirits that are infused with music to change the flavor profile. It SOUNDS crazy...until you order a flight and taste their two burbons side by side: same bourbon, different music, different tasting notes. Totally crazy experience! For cocktail lovers, they are doing some really cool stuff there. I got 2 savory cocktails (Mariposa & Aquatinted), the former was more my speed, but I always appreciate when restaurants experiment more in the savories for cocktails. Their signature list has many unique flavor combinations, and I'm looking forward to our next visit to try more! Food-wise: no misses for us. We debated going for a bunch of small plates (easily doable with their menu), but the sea bass was calling to us. Split that + the Wagyu Short Rib. Both were delicious, but the Wagyu was a little under salted for me. The smoked carrot conift actually stole the show on that dish - we're definitely going to try the carrot appetizer next time we're there! Dessert: Both full desserts looked great (their 3rd dessert right now is a cocktail - also cool!), but we opted for the Baked Alaska. DELICIOUS!

Food- decent happy hour all day sunday and weekday good prices and drinks option. Decor great festive Service is damn terrible it took 30 minutes to get bacon and eggs and she forgot my bacon then i said nevermind cant wait I'll order wings and a drink never came. Finally like 15 minutes later, another server came up she seemed kind of more experience and asked me what I needed and I said I've been waiting 15 minutes still for my wings still for my drink they're not that super busy. I counted about 15 tables at most and everyone had their food. Finally I got my drink and food about 10 minutes later so we were late to go bowling, the service is truly awful. If it doesn't change, I can't imagine any quality of people would actually come back it's awful service awful!! if i was manager i would need to fix it asap read more

As a food enthusiast, I was thrilled to try their renowned signature cocktail, the New Fashion. Made with Bulleit Bourbon, House Syrup, Aromatic & Orange Bitters, it's a true masterpiece that ignites the senses. The moment the El Jardin and Cancun Waters cocktails arrived at my table, I was transported to a tropical paradise. The vibrant colors and refreshing taste whisked me away to the Caribbean. The Honey Chili Wings and Shrimp Ceviche were exceptional. The wings were succulent, coated in a tantalizing honey chili glaze that had just the right amount of heat. The ceviche was a burst of freshness, with tender shrimp and a tangy citrus kick. The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating an atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enjoyment. read more

I had high hopes for this venue, yet... The drinks, though visually appealing, were disappointingly weak in alcohol content. Considering the price, I expected a more potent cocktail, not something akin to store-bought juice. The food was passable, and its prices reasonable relative to other places, but it lacked any distinctive qualities. However, the service was commendable - courteous and diligent. As for the ambiance, it was a vibrant mix of loud and lively, with a lounge-like feel. read more
