The moment I stepped inside that secret door every sense in my body was firing at one hundred percent. The low light atmosphere, the smell from the bar, the sound of low voices with a live piano playing on the background got my attention right away. I had no expectation of where I was going, Stacie, my wife had told me about this place where Chef Peter Lai was now the Executive Chef and we were overdue to pay him a visit.
This night was the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy ourselves as we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. The Blind Rabbit became our first choice and we are so glad we went there. This place is no joke out of a movie, its so surreal to be there inside the meatpacking district in Anaheim, Ca. Outside the door, there are hundreds of people enjoying themselves and its loud and super active. As soon as you find the Blind Rabbit’s secret door and walk it you submerge yourself into a different world.
The hostess took us to our intimate table for 2, and we were pleasantly surprised with a beautiful card from the restaurant due to our anniversary. Bravo! We sat down and took it all in. We both looked at each other and smiled, we knew this would be a special night.
The first two drinks arrived in these beautiful tiny little cups, the attention to detail in every craft cocktail was apparent from the get-go. As we cheered and took our first sips we both nodded and our eyes got big showing how much we enjoyed the taste. I had no clue what I was drinking but I liked it. I was ready for more…
Throughout the night we tasted many different drinks and all of them were at the highest standard in my opinion. We enjoyed a full meal including some appetizers like the carpaccio which by the way was amazing! Followed by a beautifully cooked steak with a side of mac and cheese topped with duck confit. Perfect!
Later, Chef Peter came by to check up on us and share some of his journey at The Blind Rabbit. There is no surprise why he is so happy doing what he does best. This restaurant is as special as he is, a perfect pairing. He has the freedom to create delicious dishes and run his imagination wild.
The next time you are looking for a special place for an intimate dinner you definitely have to check out The Blind Rabbit.
