AMAZING! All around . Amazing food , amazing service . A must try . We will definitely be back

Wow, the fried chicken is fantastic. Definitely a new favourite. Wonderful to see you adapting to the “new normal “.

Rare Grill House offers a striking menu featuring expertly prepared meats and fresh, locally sourced ingredients, delighting diners with complex flavors and beautiful presentations. Many patrons praise the exceptional dishes, including the ribeye and seasonal specialties, complemented by thoughtful wine pairings. However, the atmosphere leaves something to be desired, with loud music and close table arrangements detracting from the experience. Service quality is inconsistent, ranging from friendly to average, and some guests feel that the pricing does not reflect the overall dining experience. For those seeking a chic meal, Rare may still be worth a visit, albeit with some caveats.

This restaurant surpasses every other establishment in town. The food is unmatched in terms of enjoyment, whether you choose to dine in or take out.
