Medium Rare is an award-winning, iconic, full-service restaurant famous for its French-influenced steak and frites (fries). The restaurant offers a three-course prix fixe meal, featuring a flavorful fresh mixed green salad, artisan rustic bread, hand-cut fries, and the main course—scrumptious Coulotte steak topped with a secret sauce. Medium Rare also offers a variety of decadent desserts, such as the 7-layer chocolate cake, the 7-layer carrot cake, and their legendary hot fudge sundae. On weekends, Medium Rare offers a brunch menu featuring bottomless mimosas, bloody marys, and screwdrivers, along with plenty of delicious menu choices.

Everything was great! My only concern is that the steak portion could be a little bit generous. But definitely I’ll be back!

Love the steak and fries but also don’t miss out on the hot fudge sundae. Our server Julianna was so friendly and Vanessa ensured we had a great time.

Went for Brunch and sadly It was underwhelming. The value was good good, especially with the bottomless mimosas. Initially wanted to try this place for dinner, but honestly not sure it’s going to be worth it.

We waited 45 minutes to be seated and no one ever came to apologize, or take anything off the bill. The food was fine, but the noise level was very very high.

Pleasantly surprised at how much we liked this place. Worth the wait - great value with the 2nd helping of steak-frites - my 2 grown sons loved that. Pretty good wine selection and cocktails So nice to not have to maunder over menu choices. Loved the French lessons playing back in the restrooms.

I think the restaurant is still working out its systems since it’s only been open a few weeks, but the service was really inconsistent and very slow. The steak is honestly not great q

Very very loud and cold. Pretentious placing of Pelligrino in ice bucket. Steak was good. Fries plus minus. Went to one with n DC This one does not live up to that.
