    Rare 3001 exceeded my expectations! The ribeye was absolutely phenomenal—one of the best I’ve had in Rochester, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The service was just as impressive; our server had a fantastic personality and was incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The overall experience was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

    Great food and service. But extremely cold and breezy. Also tables around us were so loud that it was hard to hear each other talk.

    We wet early, like 5pm, before it got busy. Food is great, large portions, but very expensive.

    Everything was great except our table. We got sat in front of the door and dealt with the cold winter wind most of the night. Our food and server were fantastic. Definitely will be back

    We dined on a Wednesday evening, and the restaurant was nearly empty, so it’s hard to judge the noise level. However, the food was outstanding, the ambience was warm and lovely (much better than it looks in the photos online!), and our server was highly attentive, knowledgeable, and gracious. We had Caesar salads—one of the best I’ve had in a long time— lobster and shrimp mac & cheese, and street corn. The side dishes are huge! We ended up taking so much food home that there was enough for three more meals. I would highly recommend that the restaurant halve the portions and bring the prices down. It would’ve been nice to sample more dishes, but our bill would have been astronomical. Nevertheless, a wonderful dining experience in ROC!

    The food was not consistent. Was looking foward to the wings and this time they were too sauced , spicier and not the same flavor as last time. Octopus was chewy and my son ordered crab legs - they came already plucked and sitting in bowl of butter. Not what he wanted. I loved it last time this time not so much

    We came in for martinis, oysters, and dinner. The home made jalapeño cheddar sourdough with the honey butter was insanely good. Everything we ordered was incredible!! Thank you for great service, Alanna & Tommy! :) :)
