   First time dining at the Columbia location. Very easy to get to and plenty parking available. The drinks were absolutely delicious. And the steak and fries with the secret sauce, definitely worth the taste. We also ordered the mushrooms which also was a hit. The only downside was that it was a bit warm inside but tolerable. Our server, Luis was 5 ⭐️.

   We love Medium Rare. Unfortunately, we sat for several minutes (almost 10min) before someone came and even offered us water. Once they settled on who our waiter was, our experience became delightful.

   As usual, a very good dining experience at Medium Rare. You can count on good food and service at the Columbia location.

   Loved the food. But the noise is outrageous. Have only dined there twice. The first was outside so didn’t realize how noisy it is inside. Last night we dined inside and it was just too much. We cannot do that again. So we are limited to dining during the warmer months only. It’s a shame because sure we love the food.

   While they only do a few dishes, they do them to perfection. Definitely look at the before you go, so you have an understanding of what they offer. Great value and service. Will definitely be back!

   One thing on the menu. Hyped up with fancy gilding. It is still shoe string fries and thin sliced London broil and gravy. That’s it. Mediocre at best. A waste of money. I thought I was eating at a school cafeteria. I thought we were going to a steak house. Nope. How they got on OpenTable I’ll never know.

   My husband and I went for brunch on a Saturday. Overall we had a great time. The food was amazing! He got the steak and eggs and I got the steak frites. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. They were seasoned perfectly and cooked to the right requested temperature (medium and medium rare). The frites were well seasoned and hot. The eggs were perfectly cooked as well and fluffy. The bread was okay but nothing to rave about. The mixed green salad was fresh but the dressing lacked flavor. The fruit salad was also fresh but the pineapple was definitely not ripe which was a little disappointing. My husband started with a Bloody Mary which was good. The mimosas were okay but definitely way too much orange juice and pulp. Our server was not very attentive and at times it became frustrating especially when we wanted more drinks. Overall we will definitely come back.

   Such a fun time! A different experience for sure - there really is no menu but that’s ok because it’s so yummy. Our server Ethan(?) was awesome, great service, great drinks and the food was perfect. Pretty restaurant. Couldn’t have asked for more!

    The sourdough bread was incredible. Felt like I kept having to hound the waitress for more butter lol the salad was really nice. The plates are very small however, you do get a second serving that comes with your meal. I opted not to use the sauce on my steak or my fries, the sauce was just OK. I got it on the side. We had a nice dinner, but not some thing I think I’d go back to.
