   This was our first experience with Medium Rare. It was recommended to us by a friend and it was amazing! The food quality was great and our server did well explaining everything.

   The Sunday brunch draws a large crowd of students and younger adults who are understandably fond of the bottomless mimosas. The food was decent, but the noise level and overall ambience put a damper on the experience for us.

   Medium Rare is great for a casual steakhouse. Good place to take friends who are visiting the DC area. Only drawback was sitting outside—we sat right above a subway grate that blew hot air into our table every 15 minutes!

   Music too high for table conversation. There to eat and converse not to listen to someone else's choice of music. Not sure why but other tables served before us. Liked that those besides our waiter took over.

   A cute place, nice waitresses, nice ambiance, food wasn’t that great, had the French toast and sausage from the bottomless brunch. Sourdough bread as French toast was terrible! Bottomless mimosas were nice and greet music!

   The restaurant became incredibly loud as brunch went on and the music as well. It basically became a boozy night club. Meanwhile the music in the restrooms was lovely French music. (11am reso) Definitely felt like two places. The servers are all very young and inexperienced and somewhat immature and I never saw a manager on the floor. The champagne glasses served smelled like they were wiped with a dirty bar towel before giving them to us and our first course plates were not cleared by the time entrees came. I’m not expecting 5 star white tablecloth dining here but I expected decent service and atmosphere. I’ll only go back for weeknight dinner from now on. Shame because it’s a great location.

   Always love Medium Rare and the food is incredible. Only area for improvement is the choice of music played over. Sometimes a bit too loud and energetic for a dinner place.

    The food was delicious, especially the sauce. The service was prompt and attentive. The only negative was there was a bad, potent sewage smell on the street that impacted the diners eating outside.

    The inside was way too loud so we sat outside. The steak was very thin and chewy. Not very good. The sauce was very chalky. However, the French fries were the best part of the meal. The bread was not edible, it was so hard and the salad was just ok. I definitely will not be returning and do not recommend. It was also impossible to track down our waiter as he was texting pretty much the whole time and not paying attention to his tables. The staff seemed really young so maybe that has something to do with it.

    we were still working on the lettuce and they wanted the meat already on the table, I say well if you don't mind you can wait half an hour. 5 min from the lettuce, the meat was on the table, we were finished within an hour 😓

    Went there for brunch. The music inside was very loud so we chose to sit outside. Ordered 3 dishes from the menu. The starters were served quickly but it took long time for the main dishes to arrive. Two of the dishes were cold when we finally got them. French toast and sausage: The sausage was good but was small and got only one, The french toast was gigantic and you get three pieces. Steak and fries: The steak was thin, small and dry. The fries looked sad. Almost cold when we got them Egg benedict This was the best dish of the three we tried despite being almost cold. Would be a great one if served warm. Our staff were polite and patient.

    We’ve been going for years, but hadn’t gone for a while. The food was the same quality and the servers were very nice and attentive. However, in this post pandemic world, the restaurant itself has clearly pivoted to take out and delivery. The upshot is that we watched dozens of bags being made to go while we waited and waited for our food. I’m not sure if it was off night, but it certainly leant to the impression that the people in the restaurant were at the back of the line in terms of food prep and that the online ordering was prioritized. You shouldn’t have to wait half an hour between salad and entree. Particularly in a place that does one thing (well) and used to get the food out fast.

    It was a great bar energy place. The only downside was how loud everything was, even asked to have the music turned down a little and it was turned down for a few minutes and went right back up even louder after.

    I went here for brunch with my sister. There was a table of college aged girls right next to us who were VERY loud. Not the restaurants fault, but the restaurant was playing loud clubbing music, and it was around 1 in the afternoon. Not the vibe we were going for. The service was very subpar. I’m not sure if this restaurant does something weird with the servers, but after our server took our order, we never saw him again. We both got mimosas, and they were easily 85% orange juice, hardly any alcohol. We both ordered the “world famous” eggs benedict; while the fries that came with it were fantastic, our eggs were undercooked (clear bits in the white part). Our server never came to check on us, so we never could express this to the staff. We tried to catch our servers eye for 20 minutes, but he kept avoiding us. Eventually, a different server checked us out (he was very nice and apologized for the wait). Other than him, the entire staff is very young, and gave the impression that they did not care about your experience. Overall, I would never eat here again. Don’t waste your time or money here.

    The food was good as usual. The service had a lot to be desired. We had to ask twice for our salads which should not have been the case as the restaurant was not too busy. Over all I would rate the service as quite basic, certainly not engaging.

    Always love a visit to Medium Rare when in the DMV. Perfect for groups and especially for dinner with our son and 6 housemates! Service is friendly and swift. If your into a value pre-fixe dinner, this is the spot!!! Be prepared to bring leftovers home!
