   The food is amazing! Two people at our table had the strip loin, which was cooked to perfection, one of had the chicken which was wonderful and I had the gnocchi, again, which again was awesome. You must have the bread! Fresh out of the oven and perfect to share. Our server was lovely, very attentive and very knowledgeable. You may find it a little pricey, but it's worth it! Can't wait to go back.

   Everything was amazing from start to finish. We had the octopus and it was cooked perfectly, best I’ve ever had. We will absolutely be coming back!

   We had an amazing evening celebrating our 18th anniversary. Im on the carnivore diet and my girlfriend is keto and they accommodated our dietary requirements. I had the 22oz bone-in Ribeye without any sides and my girlfriend had the prime rib with veggies and they swapped the potatoes witb butternut spaghetti squash. Both entree's were fantastic. Highly recommend and will return.

   Rare is one of the best restaurants we have visited in the Kawarthas. Food, staff and service second to none.

   The food presentation and taste was outstanding. For appetizers we had grilled octopus and grilled calamari. My go to main is the salmon with ancient grains and beats with a lovely light cream sauce. We were a party of 4 and everyone was satisfied and overall had a lovely evening.

   Our server was fantastic. She was attentive and friendly. Made us feel welcome and was dishing out compliments like they were going out of style. The food was great. Lots of complex flavours and complimentary textures! Although the portions were not huge we sampled a few dishes and left full and satisfied. We went through the week during a night with their standard menu, it was diverse and offered something for everyone. We will definitely be going back… if not just to have the Gnocchi again, then to try the Saturday roast beef dinner! Would recommend to anyone trying to have a memorable food experience out in Peterborough.

    Wow! What a wonderful dinner. We had a Caesar salad, the prime rib special and duck confit and crème brûlée for dessert. All courses were excellent. Can’t wait to return
