    It did take a little longer than expected to get seated. About 20 minutes later than our reservation. It was Christmas Eve and very busy so we can understand. Once seated everything was excellent. The food was great, a really good sized booth but most importantly incredible service. Our server, Nick, was one of the best servers we have ever had at any restaurant. We feel the price was very reasonable for the amount and choices we had to select from. An all around pleasurable evening.

    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!

    It was our second year back at Bar Blitzen and love all of the decorations! Our only critique is we had a reservation at 4PM and they weren’t ready to open yet.. The reservations are limited but the place is rarely full from when we’ve been there. But very festive, great drinks and great vibes! We will be back next year to get in the Christmas Spirit.
