Reviews
If you are looking for a great meal check out Rare steakhouse. Especially for the happy hour and half price bar menu. The steak sliders, sweet chili shrimp, and oysters are absolutely mouth watering. Will be back next time I am in Mad-Town.
Food is always decent but the bar service was absolutely terrible on our last trip. The bartenders make no eye contact with anyone throughout service to see if you need anything and pay no attention to your drink levels or do any sort of bussing. We had to say “excuse me” and get their attention each time to order food, get a drink refill or even get silverware. Until we specifically flagged them down, our drinks would sit empty and no dishes would be cleared (as evidenced by photos).I should also mention that we were there right after 4 and it was not busy. There were 12 guests at the bar and the restaurant had very few tables so the service was truly neglectful, not due to being busy with other bar patrons or making server drinks.
Our first visit and had a very nice dinner. The sticker price was a little bit of a shock. The only thing that made me laugh was watching all the tables turn the phone lights on to read the menu in the dark.
Went there last night for a New Year's Eve dinner. Extremely disappointed. At this price point you would expect a lot better. $435 for two people, only one alcoholic drink.
Bread came out. Had a hard top layer, like it had been microwave. Baked potato and mushrooms were cold. Crab legs were small with cold melted butter. Steak was tough with a lot of silver skin. No salt in the salt shaker. And I'll waiter had absolutely no personality whatsoever. Didn't smile once.
Definitely think you can get a better steak at Outback or a chain restaurant without paying these high prices
This restaurant has a great historic feel with rich decorations that give it a great atmosphere. Everyone had positive to things to say about the food. They're known for their steak options but the salmon is also a great option. I highly recommend the smoked old fashioned as the presentation is fantastic. The bananas Foster is also a real experience.
Rare is one of the best steakhouses I have had the pleasure of experiencing. This is the third time I have been able to dine here in the past 6 years and it is consistently 5-stars! From experienced staff in all areas of fine dining to the excellent cuisine to top notch cocktails.
Delicious steak, which they dry age by themselves. Worth every penny and makes you want to come back again. High end steakhouse which everybody should try!
While it is on the higher end as far as price ranges go, we felt it was well worth it. Everything we had was very well prepared and delicious. We plan on regularly returning when we want to treat ourselves.
Edit: Dropping our review by 2 stars. We've returned twice since our initial review and both times were treated poorly by the hosts. We tried contacting the restaurant by email, but have not received a response. Probably won't be going back just to avoid being either flat out ignored or being talked down to by the hosts.
