• Steakhouse • Santa Barbara

Booked 17 times today

Sink your teeth into Rare Society - a modern homage to the golden age of the American steakhouse. Chef and owner Brad Wise reimagines vintage upscale dining with a bold, contemporary edge: a wood-fired grill fueled by red oak, an in-house dry-aging program, sustainably sourced seafood, and a progressive cocktail menu that nods to the classics while pushing boundaries. The space hums with energy - smoke curling from the grill, the scent of fire and flavor wafting through the air. It’s easy to picture a Rat Pack-era dinner party in full swing: elegant, indulgent, just a little unruly. Rare Society doesn’t just pay tribute to steakhouse tradition - it revives it, reinvents it, and serves it with just a little bit of swagger.

Great bar with innovative cocktails. Unique food. Tuna carpaccio was a little tough but very tasty. Pomme frites yummy. Ricotta cavatelli was nicely done. Short ribs tender and well seasoned.

Consistently great, we love Gala. The food is excellent, in particular the oysters, chicken croquettes, and Jamon plate for starters, and we love their duck confit (with excellent mashed potatoes) and mushroom risotto loaded with delicious chanterelles. The service is excellent and their cheesecake is worth the caloric intake!
