    Rare is my favorite restaurant. I have been to many steak restaurants in the area, and Rare is top notch above them all. The staff remember you and say hi when you walk in. The food is fantastic. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of and valued. Always a good time!!

    I ordered the Calamari for an appetizer and it was very good. I then ordered the Porterhouse steak for 2 and it was plenty. No need for any sauce, the meat was made perfectly and had a lot of flavor. I ordered the Thai chili Brussel sprouts and it was flavorful however there was too much sauce and the sprouts were very small. Overall the food and atmosphere was great and I would recommend.

    A fantastic steakhouse with a number of great menu options for the non-meat eater. Impeccable service but a bit noisy for what should be a more refined experience.

    Hands down the best steak in the area. We try many steakhouses but when the family says we need a good steak we head to rare, because we know the quality and service are second to none.

    My son's filet was rare when he asked for medium. Drinks lacked. Too pricy for the quality of food and service. We were not shown the different cuts as other tables did. Expresso Martini really laced flavor.
