    We had a delicious early dinner. The menu is amazing. They offer a variety of dishes. We ordered surf and turf, the grouper was fresh and the skirt steak was good. The pot roast was amazing!! This dish is served with fresh vegetables, cooked in a delicious sauce and soft mashed potatoes. Our waiter was pleasant and answered our question. Mr. Kwame has a warm smile and a genuine personality.

    It was a great experience, the food was very good, the salad was phenomenal. The steak was really good not quite deserving of five stars, but very good nonetheless. The walleye was exceptional. I would give this a 4.9 across the board. 9.8 out of 10

    Always a treat to return to Rare! Decided to treat the kid & his girlfriend for his birthday. The surrounding are best described as "early Scorsese" or dark lighting with burgundy leather banquet seating. Cool vibes. Waitstaff, mostly college age, all in formal attire. Classy. Y'know? Greeted warmly & professionally by our server, Ashton, who informed us about the foie gras special & took our drink orders. My shaken Hendricks martini with a twist was delivered shortly thereafter & scratched the itch! Ashton then took our order of sweet chili shrimp with lime, the foie gras special with roasted apple, Caesar salad, bone in ribeye, New York strip, brussel sprouts and creamed spinach. The ribeye was cooked perfectly & tender. The NY strip was medium (mid rare was the target temp) and was swiftly refired and served. Shockingly fast too! Delicious. The sides were excellent as well. Somehow he had room for dessert. He ordered the bananas foster (made table side & always a fun show) & the espresso creme brûlée. Ashton kindly served a super smooth chocolate mouse cake square with graham crust topped with whipped cream and a candle. Nice. Just a lovely night all around. If you're craving steak & professional service in an old school setting...I suggest a reservation at Rare!
