The Black Rabbit - Gillitts

Our entire experience at Black Rabbit was an issue, we went to celebrate a birthday lunch, hoping for an amazing lunch experience but the opposite was received. Seemed like our waiter was in training (wasn't though) cause she messed up every single serving. from the 1st course being served in instalments to totally messing up our steak and burger orders and even forgetting to add the kids order in. I heard good things about this restaurant but sadly I didn't get to experience it,

Favorite restaurant. Our family visit often. Everything is delicious. Never been disappointed. Wonderful atmosphere. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: R 300–350 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We visited the black rabbit again for dinner. It was such a beautifully lit place because the Christmas decor was up. I order the duck and my husband ordered the ribs. I am not used to the sweetness of the orange sauce. But maybe that's how it was supposed to taste. I loves the cheese and prawn soufflé. My husband's mussels starter was so delicious. We always enjoy coming here Food: 4

It was my first visit to your restaurant. I decided to take my wife for a Birthday dinner. I made booking in advance and told the lady over the phone that it's my wife's birthday which she acknowledged as well as made a note of her name and confirmed that she would give us a birthday menu(whatever menu that is) and a complimentary birthday dessert with a Happy Birthday message written on the plate. However...Nothing materialized. When I approached the staff, all we got was oops, sorry about that, it was written down but we didn't take heed of it. So after dropping a R900 bill for dinner and potentially having a new patron, you won't be getting my business any time soon and I think a casual dining restaurant would have went the extra mile. Don't get me wrong I am not looking for freebies but it's that extra attention to detail that makes all the difference for a special occasion and unfortunately you did not deliver.

The Black Rabbit is exquisite in every possible way and is fine dining at its best. The food is absolutely phenomenal and the duck is by far the best I have ever eaten (and I have eaten duck in many a fine establishment over the years). I will definitely be back for that dish again. The menu is varied and caters for everyone with several good vegetarian options. My guests raved about their meals including the Kingklip cooked in garam masala spices, the rigatoni carbonara, the pizzas and of course the perfectly decadent creme brûlée and panacotta. The chef is incredibly talented and has the flavours on point because every meal is a sensory experience. Staff are helpful, unobtrusive and very polite. The style and decor of the restaurant is impressive and true to the elegant brasserie feel. I will definitely be frequenting this fine establishment and entertaining business clients there too. My new favorite restaurant in KZN hidden away in beautiful Hillcrest. Keep it up Black Rabbit. We will definitely be back soon.
