Le White Rabbit is described across reviews as a lively, casual spot that offers good value and a broad menu, from generous breakfasts and pub-style dishes to comforting mains and a kid's menu, with generous portions and drinks that satisfy; the atmosphere can swing from relaxed daytime dining to a lively night out with a DJ or Latin nights, and a terrace is available for outdoor dining. Dishes such as crab cakes, calamari, bruschetta, filet mignon, and braised beef receive praise, while breakfast and lunch are often highlighted for solid quality; the service is praised for being friendly and efficient on many visits, though some experiences call the service hit or miss and note slower pacing or heat retention issues in the kitchen, with meals arriving just below hot and a tendency to be a little salty. Some guests report peak nights where conversations are hard due to music volume, while others celebrate a vibrant vibe and strong drink options. A few negative experiences include undercooked calamari allegedly causing illness and a complaint about croutons with an extra charge. Overall, Le White Rabbit comes across as a dependable, enjoyable option for casual dining with family and friends, with room for more consistent heat and noise management.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Café Pierre Jean Jase is described as a warm, intimate spot where fresh, flavorful dishes and a friendly, attentive staff create a welcoming vibe. Diners frequently recommend trying the Boo pizza, praise superb soup, a delicious salmon salad, and gluten free crepes, and note that both English and French menus are available. The atmosphere is charming and family friendly with toys for kids, and the kitchen sounds add to a lively, authentic cafe experience, while the cafe is praised for using fresh local ingredients, generous portions, and good value for lunch. The place is celebrated as a neighborhood staple with a varied menu, a convivial ambiance, and consistently good food, though a few visits are described as disappointing due to issues like insufficient sauce on eggs Benedict, overcooked eggs, shells in a dish, or billing for extras, prompting calls for attention to detail. Parking on the street can be tricky, but the overall experience is seen as welcoming, locally owned, ideal for brunch with friends or family, and for visitors seeking a warm, satisfying meal, with friendly staff and a strong sense of community, despite occasional hiccups.View restaurant profile
