    Took my sister to the White Rabbit while she was visiting. We had a 6 pm reservation. Really cool experience! We got the artichoke flatbread, charcuterie board, and elote dip. All were VERY good! I was surprised at how good the food was, considering this is technically just a place for drinks. Drink menu is very creative and interesting. We loved our drinks and our server was very good at recommending things. Overall very very nice!
