Medium Rare - Cleveland Park

We applaud Medium Rare for opening up with outdoor dining, however the tables were placed too close together and we were back to back - less than two feet from a group sitting behind us. Other tables were also closer than 6 feet apart. We mentioned it to our server who shared our concerns. The management didn't appear to care, or at least they were not quick to correct the problem.

The French toast was very big as was the starting salad. Bread was okay. The beverage service was also great as well.

Absolutely love this place!

Great dinner for my daughter’s 13th bday. Thanks for going the extra mile!!

Neighborhood favorite. Always delicious, keeps us coming back again and again. The service was wonderful and efficient.

What a great time. We hadn't been out in four months and decided our first time dining out would be at Medium Rare for our anniversary. We were promptly seated and given choice of tables outside. Everyone wished us a happy anniversary and we were given champagne!

The food was excellent as usual. We were seated under the speaker for the patio so it was a bit loud, but other than that, amazing experience.

Thank you Medium Rare for serving the community during the quarantine. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. I look forward to continue dining at Medium Rare well into the future.

Awesome set up - great food great service. With COVID it was very well organized

Excellent social distancing and sanitary measures with the as-expected high quality food and experience. We love Medium Rare and the staff, and they really went the extra mile!

We always love going to Medium Rare. The outdoor seating is beautiful and shaded, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is always lively and fun!

Best French toast ever

I came here for my birthday brunch and graduation brunch, the service was fine and I called the host before because my reservation was canceled, he made me a new reservation. I thought that they forgot or did not want to bring out a cake or anything but I saw another girl receive a sparkler and cake and felt pretty disappointed. I have been inside for two months and this was the time to celebrate turning 24 and graduating college. I notified the restaurant twice and they didn’t seem to care.

It was a very rushed experience I have eaten here dozens of times and never had service like this before also the quality of the food was significantly less than normal

Great job managing the new outdoor social distanced reality of dining. The server was good natured and attentive. The steak came out the temperature it came out--didn't seem that "medium" or "medium rare" was regarded much, but not a big deal. Yummy anyway.

Even though we are operating in a pandemic I can’t give the team at this restaurant more credit for how they handled themselves. Tables were well placed apart, very organized and still cheerful. Despite their being a constant work load the entire staff did a great job and we were so delighted to be out to dinner again.

Have always thought highly of this location and I’m even more impressed with how they have quickly and efficient stepped up to the plate to re open. Kudos to this whole team.

We will of course be back again soon

The restaurant is phenomenal! The food, staff, atmosphere — all amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

A very nice experience with good food and service. I congratulated the manager.

Food was excellent, portion size is generous for the price. Only issue we had was waiting time to be seated, even though we had a reservation and arrived on time, we still waited about 20mins to be seated. Once seated, service was good and organized.

We had a reservation for 7:30 but were not seated until 8. They were very overbooked!,

As always! Good food, good service!
What else could one ask for?!

Great place to come when you want an excellent steak dinner with quality and flavor you can count on and you don't want to make any decisions other than what you want to drink or if you'll have a dessert. There's only one meal on the menu and you are going to want it all! Recommend going with the medium rare temp at Medium Rare. Food melts in your mouth with that delicious sauce that you want to dip everything in... Bonus tip: if you eat your first round of steak and fries, you get a second serving (if you want one). Don't say no to the bread -- it is to die for and you'll want to scrape up any remaining salad dressing with any crusts you have left. If you want a sturdy red wine, recommend the Malbec. Bon Appetit!

We had a great time and everyone involved enjoyed it!

Dinner with daughter and husband
Food was exactly as expected
Very good fries were just out of oil
Servers were especially friendly and professional

Delicious, tender steak and frites. Meal comes with salad and bread. Generous portions, took half home. Service was timely and friendly.

Reservation was at 7:15 pm for a party of 4. Ended up getting seated at 7:50 pm. Food and waiter service was great. A bit of a long wait to be seated.

We had to wait 45 minutes from the time of our reservation to being seated. They were running wayyyy behind and everyone was waiting that had reservations

Always find exceptional service here. Staff are friendly and address special needs if required. Great value too.

Great place! Energetic vibe and friendly service. Was there for my birthday and had a great time. Thanks!

Great food and service!

This was the first visit for my husband and me. I wish I could remember the name of our server because he was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our seat by the window, the fries, the secret sauce and our wine. The steak was okay. Our one big recommendation is do not heat apple pie to the point that the crust becomes mush.

First time there. Steak was delicious. But I thought portions would be bigger. When they said 2 servings of steak, I didn't realize the 2 portions would basically equal one regular portion. But it was very yummy food.

Great spot, but not many options for brunch. You order from 4 entrees and that's it. Unlimited mimosas though!

The service was fast, and our waiter did an excellent job accommodating us. The food was okay, not great not horrible—I’d give it a solid 3/5 but I expected more from a restaurant with such a limited menu. Glad I went and tried it, but probably won’t be returning.

Everything was fine until the manager kept walking by/looking at our table as soon we we put our spoons in our dessert. We weren’t overstaying the two hour mark and we ordered more food that we were in the middle of eating. It just made the end of the experience uncomfortable.
Our waiter was wonderful and had nothing to do with the manager rushing us.
I would probably go back but maybe to a different location with another manager... I would still recommend Clearlake park Medium rare to friends as maybe they would have A different experience.

I only meant to rate the overall experience, not the food as I didn’t get to eat there. We had reservations for 4 people at 8pm, we arrived at 7.53pm and they said we were early and that it would be about a 20 minute wait starting at 8pm. The number of people waiting ahead of us was large, we could tell the estimated 20 min was not true. I asked why didn’t they text us to alert they were running behind, the hostess didn’t care to give a proper answer or even apologize for the wait. I found it quite rude that arriving 7 minutes ahead of my reservation would be too early and that my wait time would only start running at 8pm. We decided to leave. At 8.35 pm I got a message saying the table was ready. I would have waited 40 minutes for a table I had booked in advance.

I've gone here 2 times in the past couple of months. Both times have been absolutely packed. So much so that a table for 5 people places the 5th person into the walking lane for wait staff and other guests.

The second round of steak was forgotten during this visit, and the server who helped us noticed it before we made mention of it and got right on it. The assistant who brought out the second round didn't have the steak done the way each guest asked, and we didn't make mention of it but just kept eating. The place was so loud we couldn't really hear each other.

Love the restaurant, and will absolutely come back for celebrations. It just seems that they're packing people in here to the walls or taking too many reservations beyond capacity.

Quality food but very rushed service.

Steak as usual was good and the portobello mushroom option great for our vegetarian guests.

The food and the waiter's service were outstanding, but the downside was the wait. Ee had reservations and still had to wait almost an hour to be seated.

Even with a reservation it took 30 minutes to be seated on 2/15/20. Once seated, the loud blaring music was too much - I finally had to say something to management. Included that it was our wedding anniversary in the resi but was not acknowledged or celebrated by staff as birthdays and other celebrations were around us. We really love this place, but this time.....
