In Jesus Galvez’s culinary mind, where creativity knows no bounds, a new dining destination has emerged, captivating food enthusiasts and steak lovers alike. Blind Rabbit Kitchen (1085 E 2100 South), is the latest venture from the Sol Agave family, where an American steakhouse meets a whimsical world through visual storytelling to create an unforgettable dining experience.
Blind Rabbit Kitchen is a unique concept that sets it apart from traditional steakhouses. The restaurant draws inspiration from Whiskers the Blind Rabbit, a fictional character named by Jesus’ daughter, Yezia, who navigates a whimsical world with charm and curiosity. This enchanting theme permeates the restaurant, from its decor to its menu. Be sure to try the carrot cake.
“It all started with the logo; I fell in love with it, and the character Whiskers, as my daughter calls him,” Jesus said. “Our goal is for you to experience enjoying dinner or lunch in the rabbit’s habitat.”
At Blind Rabbit Kitchen, the focus is squarely on delivering exceptional steaks. Each cut is meticulously seasoned, broiled, and finished with a touch of jalapeño butter, ensuring a perfect charred exterior and a juicy interior. Whether you’re a fan of ribeye, filet mignon, or New York strip, Blind Rabbit Kitchen promises a steak cooked to perfection, tailored to your liking.
Complementing the robust steak offerings, Blind Rabbit Kitchen offers a cocktail menu that is as inventive as it is enjoyable. The bar team crafts drinks using the freshest ingredients, blending classic recipes with modern twists. Whether you’re unwinding with a cocktail at the bar or pairing it with your meal, each sip offers a unique and refreshing experience. Try a cocktail that is presented in a smoky treasure box or lit on fire tableside for a dramatic experience.
The mastermind behind this enchanting steakhouse is Jesus Galvez, a seasoned entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in the restaurant industry. As the founder of Sol Agave, Jesus has consistently demonstrated a passion for hospitality and culinary excellence. With Blind Rabbit Kitchen, he aims to revolutionize the dining experience by merging his expertise in design and food culture with a casual yet sophisticated steakhouse ambiance.
“We hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you, holding space in your neighborhood for that special gathering, hop on over.”
Blind Rabbit’s Kitchen’s culinary team is run by Oscar Perez, an accomplished executive chef whose culinary journey has been marked by innovation and creativity. Having honed his skills at establishments such as Elephant Bar, the Cheesecake Factory, and Nick’s Hospitality, chef Perez brings a wealth of experience to Blind Rabbit Kitchen. His previous ventures, including Maiz Cocina & Sol Agave showcased his ability to infuse modern techniques into traditional flavors, a philosophy he continues to champion at Blind Rabbit Kitchen.
