Excellent service by Logan. She knew the menu and had excellent recommendations. We loved the cauliflower soup and ravioli the best. The cauliflower app had a good sauce and the sticky toffee dessert was pretty great. Will definitely go back! Also enjoyed an old fashioned that had port and edible glitter. Yum!

Had a great time at the Red Rabbit. The food was delicious, establishment was clean, and the service was great. The pasta and chicken wings were better than I expected. The only downside is parking. The lot fills up very quickly and it gets tight if you’re in a large SUV or truck. Outside of that, I highly recommend checking this place out!

With all the trendy restaurants popping up around the cities, sometimes all you want is a classic & simple meal, & that’s what you’re gonna get at Red Rabbit. We dined on the patio for mother’s day. Patio vibes were great on such a warm day, and the big fireplace blocked the wind which I appreciated. Unfortunately, service was very slow. Took around 15-20 for the waitress to check back after delivering our drinks. She also forgot to put in one of our orders, but completely owned it and apologized, so this wasn’t a problem at all, it was a busy night! Garlic Bread Cheese Curds - 10/10. these cannot be skipped. Burrata: grilled foccacia was perfectly cooked. very delicious. Pesto add Shrimp: my favorite out of everything! rigatoni & shrimp were cooked perfectly and the pesto was perfect, just the right amount of saltiness. Fettuccine add Chicken: I don’t even like fettuccine alfredo all that much but I tried a few bites and was thoroughly impressed. Cavatelli: I think it’s pretty good. It’s definitely less sauce forward & the italian sausage has just a slight kick. Good but my least favorite pasta of the three. Spicy Salami Pizza: honestly the pizza fell short for me. It was good. The crust was the best part and cooked perfectly. It needed more cheese and the sauce was just kinda bland. Only really had flavor when you got a bite with the salami & hot honey. Beets: the beet lover of the family loved these!! Very delicious & happy we stopped in!

This spot is out of this world. Our waitress was attentive, fast, and genuine in her recommendations. The food was uniformly superb, though the strongest standout was the arugula, pear, and Gorgonzola salad. Their roasted wings with Parmesan dipping sauce were also excellent, with the wings themselves being so unctuous and flavorful that you barely needed a sauce at all. Highly recommended!

Favorite spot in St. Paul. Service is always top tier. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, the recommendations are always great. Food never disappoints. If you’re looking for great pizza and pasta this is the place to go. Great spot for dinner, but also makes for a good lunch. They have great take out too. If dining in the drinks are always great to try and they have some fun house options.

We had a great time! The garlic bread cheese curds were fantastic, but the wood-grilled wings were the real highlight! I literally dreamed about them. The cocktails were quite nice and strong, too. We were even treated to an anonymously gifted tiramisu, which was tasty. Our server was sweet and friendly, and I'm already planning my next visit back, mostly for those amazing wings!

This place has been on my daughter's and my must visit someday list for a long time. We took a chance and tried it. Omg omg omg this was worth the wait! The atmosphere was hip and trendy with industrial and vintage vibes. Staff were amazing!!! They are very knowledgeable of the menu, friendly, patient, and kind. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer. I have never had such tender squid ever, and I grew up down south. The breading was so light n crisp. Then we both ordered the mostaccioli with grilled chicken. I was hesitant due to it saying goat cheese fondue, but it was heavenly!! The sauce was so light and creamy. The flavors of the dish went so well together. I can't rate this any higher, or I would. 10/10!

Our waiter was friendly and recommended darn beer everything on the menu. In hindsight I left with regrets of not ordering the meatballs but I guess I’ll just have to come back. Started off with the garlic cheese curds. Not bad, but were creamy (not squeaky like you’d expect) and were served with a delicious marinara dipping sauce. They were good just not what I initially expected. Caesar salad was “the best I’ve ever had” stated our server. It was good. I liked how it was not served with romaine but overall just ok. 7/10. Hubby ordered a pizza and enjoyed it. My chicken parm came out with the wrong noodles, I ate the chicken while we waited for a new side of noodles. Due to the delay they remade the entire dish and I was able to enjoy this meal again the next day. Things happen, I get it. And they did a great job at service recovery. Parking can be tight, we did find a spot but plan ahead. Bar area was busy and restaurant nearly full on a Sunday. Enjoyed our experience and will be back.
