Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rare, the Steak House shines with "fantastic food and service," making it a beloved spot. Steaks like the cowboy and filet consistently impress, and sides such as whipped potatoes are a hit. While the atmosphere is lively, it can get noisy. Some diners note inconsistent service, but many still "highly recommend Rare."

    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.

    Horrible experience. Brought wrong steak and wouldn’t switch out, charged for extra drink which we didn’t see until we got home, charged for water when we said tap, gave us wrong to go bags

    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.

    Been here several times. Steaks are always outstanding and cooked perfectly as ordered. Wide selection of appetizers and steaks. I particularly like when they bring the tray of each steak (uncooked) to your table to assist in your choice. Similar to Gibsons in Chicago.

    This was a disappointment. Steaks were not tender. Salmon TarTar came out brown which means it was premade and not fresh. Best one yet, I paid $30 for a double Tito’s and club, a handle costs $33. What a rip off. Never again.

    Unfortunately, disappointing. The ambiance no longer matches the prices. Between the music and patrons in baseball hats and sweatpants we felt like we were at a very overpriced sports bar. If we give it another try, it won’t be for a special occasion.
