    We had a great early dinner at Medium Rare at 5pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was relatively empty. We came to experience the steak and fries and had a great time! Food was delicious and service was great!

    Medium Rare is a great place to eat and excellent value. The ambience is comfortable and enjoyable. The food is well-prepared and servings are generous. A second course is brought to the table without question. The bread and salad before the meal are excellent. Best of all, the steak and fries are so good, better than expected. The accompanying pepper gravy is a yummy addition. Our server was wonderful. We can't wait to go back! The desserts looked great, but we were too full. A piece of Boozoka gum with our final bill was a surprising treat.

    Zeker! Hier is een vloeiende Engelse vertaling van je review: ⸻ Highly recommended! We had a reservation at 6:00 PM and were warmly welcomed by our friendly and spontaneous waiter, who took the time to chat with us. We ordered the steak with fries, which was absolutely delicious. They even came by a second time to refill our plates — all included in the same price. The chocolate cake for dessert was huge and tasted great. The only minor downside was that my coffee could have been a bit hotter, but the kind and attentive service more than made up for it. Definitely worth a visit. As others have mentioned: the music is quite loud — maybe a bit much for a restaurant — but it didn’t bother us.
