The Confident Rabbit - Fredericksburg

We made a drink. the personal is super friendly and this place looks fantastic. such an upgrade from the previous operation. the oysters were fresh and excellent prepared. I wish we had more time to stay here. next time I'm in the city, I'd have to eat definitiw.

Unique dishes with food cooked very nice. Portion size is on the smaller size, but still good value. Service is top notch. Ambience and layout is very comfortable and open. Management presence ensures a great meal. Bar has excellent cocktails, with local/semi-local craft brews.

The food and service were great. Our server was attentive but didn't hover. The noise level was pretty good (started out quiet at 615 when we sat down but was getting a bit loud when we left at 815). The pace of dinner was very good (I never felt rushed and there weren't any long waits for food to come out). The menu is a bit limited if you don't like shellfish or eat beef, but what I had (seasonal salad, cheese plate, fish, and creme brulee) was excellent. Portions were just right, the salad was dressed well, and the skin on the fish was nice and crispy. Foode is still my favorite downtown spot for dinner, but The Confident Rabbit isn't far behind. We'll definitely be adding them to the date night rotation.

My boyfriend and I had a leisurely dinner at this restaurant last Saturday evening. We had a really great time. We got there early to sit at the bar and enjoy raw oysters before our 530 reservation. We were shocked that there was only one other couple in the restaurant. Especially when the surrounding restaurants were packed at this hour. By 6pm though every table was full. Perhaps the happy hour crowd has yet to find this gem. I have to say they dont have much signage so perhaps this is a local secret for now. This is a super cute restaurant, decorated very well. The food was fantastic! We had raw oysters, the duck burger, shrimp cocktail, and creme brulee with vanilla ice cream. The service was also very good. The reason for my 4 stars vs 5 is because there were several items on the menu that we would have ordered but they were out. Also, they have a very small beer selection. This did not keep us from having a great evening, we will be back!

We had the the All Day Saturday special. $1 dollar raw oysters. They had several different types to choose from. They are more then happy to mix them if you prefer. The cocktail sauce is nice and they have fresh horseradish to kick it up. They also have two other vinegar based dippers. One of which was lemon and Ip really enjoyed it. The seating out front patio/sidewalk was great on this spring day. Staff very friendly and helpful. BONUS free parking across the street.
