I love a wedge salad, and it's hard to find a good one. This was a good one! I got two wedges since it was my dinner. I could've done with one because it was that big. But it was delicious. The lettuce was so fresh and crispy. The blue cheese crumble was generous as was the bacon. The cherry tomatoes were fresh. And the blue cheese dressing was delicious. It just hit the spot like nothing else. I will definitely be back.

Wooden booths with thickly paneled walls scream late 70's-80's which is another reason why I love it. I wouldn't put their steaks in the same category as a Capital Grill or Morton's but at literally 1/2 the price they're a solid choice. Their lambchops, on the other hand, were spectacular; some of the best I've ever had. And the free salad was a really nice touch that has all but disappeared with the exception of diners.

Not sure why the restaurant isn't busier because the good was very good. We split a cauliflower fritters appetizer, which was tasty and hot. It was a cross between breaded fried cauliflower and the Indian Gobi style. I had the mushroom burger, an 8 oz hamburger with mushrooms and sauteed spinach along with melted cheese. The meat was fresh and good. A big step above most burgers plus generous portions of sauteed onions and mushrooms along with melted cheeses. When I get my hamburger craving, I know where I'm going. The Butter Chicken Tacos were an unusual option. Based on Indian Butter Chicken, the national dish of UK along with Chicken Marsala, it was served in a naan with a side of rice. Really very flavorful and creative. The chopped salmon burger with mayo also comes with cheese, which was unexpected, but worked well. Service was prompt and friendly. The waitress and another wait staff person even moved furniture around looking for my grandson's red crayon. (He was sitting on it). Worth a visit even if you don't go have a craft bar or cocktail.

Chopped salad - a variety of mixed greens and veggies well chopped. Nicely prepared. Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos - 3 tacos with large chunks of fresh Mahi Mahi.

The interior is bright and contemporary with a farmhouse vibe. Plus plenty of perfectly positioned screens to watch your favorite game. The service was on point for the most part. Our server was great but I think he was working too many tables bye himself so we kinda missed the opportunity to order a second round of drinks. We are definitely adding Black Rabbit to our regular rotation. Give it a try.

Montville, NJ - a packed restaurant full of locals at dinner hour is always a promising sign, and…read morewe rolled in on a Thursday evening around 7 to find ourselves miraculously sliding into the last two parking spots AND the only open table, woot! [Blowing on my nails.] The menu is a mix of American comfort food and gastropub classics, but with flair, and has a bit of everything to satisfy different palates. Our eyes were probably bigger than our stomachs as we ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 cocktails, and it was an enormous amount of food. The portions are definitely what you'd call hearty, and everything was very tasty. Thursdays are all day happy hour so we picked the fried calamari appetizer at the HH price (still a full and generous plate and didn't seem like a downsized version) which were tender and well-battered, as well as the hot honey wings which were meaty and substantial. The short rib parpadelle with housemade pasta and a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned hanger steak with truffle fries completed our satisfying and belly-stuffing meal. The cocktails are serious as well - the presence of a drink with egg white is my personal litmus test for a bar that knows what it's doing, so the Thyme to Bloom special had my name on it. I'm salivating just looking at photos of dishes I didn't order, and am already plotting my return!

Service was quick and attentive, and we did not feel rushed and were able to enjoy a pleasant time chatting. Drinks: the black walnut Manhattan, Fig jam old fashioned, wine , beer and port. Drinks were all excellent, i tasted the Manhattan and enjoyed it over the Fig Jam. For apps: Clams oreganato (the couple with us enjoyed this), flat bread (was much more like pizza than flat bread, but still tasty, per my husband), and on the special New England Clam Chowder which was very good, not too thick and decent and fresh clams in it. Entrees: Shrimp Risotto scampi, very flavorful Risotto cooked perfectly. Two of us ordered the Cajun Mahi Mahi, over spinach with mashed, and 2 shrimp. the Cajun sauce was tasty with the perfect amount of heat, shrimp and mahi-mahi fresh and cooked perfectly. Rigatoni Bolognese which my husband enjoyed and said it was almost as good as my Italian mother's (like a good son-in-law) lol Dessert: Crème Brûlée - Brûlée was perfect, the crème was a little too thick for me. I ate it and enjoyed it, but not the best I've had. My husband ordered the key Lime Pie happy that it did not include nuts in the crust as some do, he thought it was good. Overall we had an enjoyable albeit pricy meal with good service. I would come back if other's wanted to go but it would not be my go to place.

They started us off with some appetiziers for the table which included avocado toast, rice balls, and salad. For my main course, I ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese which was a huge portion.

The highlight was the salumeria special - good selection of meats and cheeses. We tried the grandma, bader sting and the prosciutto & fig pies. The grandma was the best. The bader sting is sopressata and hot honey - couldn't taste the honey and sopressata had no flavor. But the biggest let down was the prosciutto & fig - the figs were green? My first thought they were not ripe - the point of this pie is to have savory and sweet - it had no sweet. As I said I hadn't been there in more than 5 years and the menu hasn't changed from what I can remember. Also, if you increase prices, maybe make sure you make sure to remove the old menus first.

HOOKAH TOO!!! (Cash only I think) Great night life. Haven't been there to eat just yet so I'll update you on that BUT I've heard other people say it's good. Conveniently connected to the Wiltshire Grand Hotel so if you get too drunk you have a place to stay lol. They had playoff basketball on the TV last time I was there so if you're a sports person you're good to go. The lounge couches are comfortable. They have a promoter and live music sometimes. They usually throw down with the 90's / 2000's R&B. I be in there sangin' my ass off. I don't remember the promoters name but he is good people... definitely personable. As of right now, this is my go to spot in WOTOWN. Try it out for sure. Keep in mind, my review is only for the bar / lounge area. I have not sat in the restaurant side or tried the food. BUT I WILL!
