    Brunch was very good. Three of us had the steak frites which was tender and flavorful, although one person ordered theirs medium and it came medium rare. The fourth person had the breakfast sandwich which they said was delicious and was very large. Desserts were excellent. The chocolate cake and carrot cake are huge.

    Great service, excellent food, intimate but not pretentious atmosphere, quality time with my wife together here for our anniversary, and it can’t get much better than that. Thanks Medium Rare for making our time special.

    Our dinner at Medium Rare in Cleveland Park was incredible due to good food at a reasonable price, terrific service and a casual but very nice atmosphere. I took my out of town relatives and they enjoyed the meal at Medium Rare and the sights in the surrounding neighborhood. Finally, the waiters were impeccable in their service delivery!

    Usually a great place. Were accommodating to change reservation but it took a long time with lots of calls to different people and having to show up in person. The steak wasn’t prepared to the requested wellness and service was sporadic (this was understandable as it was Valentine’s Day).
