Rare restaurant offers a high-end dining experience with excellent service, beautiful ambiance, and great food. While the price may be steep, the quality of the dishes and the attention to detail in the service make it worth it. Some minor issues such as long wait times, chaotic bar/front of house, and discrepancies between online and in-house menus were reported by some customers. However, the overall consensus is positive, with highlights including passionate servers, memorable special occasions, delicious signature cocktails, and well-prepared dishes like Wagyu beef and Bananas Foster. Despite some hiccups, Rare appears to be a go-to spot for those looking for a special dining experience.

Very expensive. Just be prepared. Joe was an excellent waiter and the Brussels sprouts were amazing. The $110 porterhouse was underwhelming.
