About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Fancy
Innovative

Rare combines craft cocktails, in-house dry aged steaks and attentive service in an unabashedly old-school steak house setting. Milwaukee's downtown steakhouse features specialty cuts dry aged in-house, like the Rib Cap and the Bottleneck as well as offering more traditional cuts like our filet and our rib eye. Rare also carries the famed, and incredibly delicious A5 Wagyu, available by the ounce.

Complimenting our steaks and entrees is a specialty cocktail list and an extensive wine list with everything from wines for a big celebration to a weekday dinner.

Rare Milwaukee is one of the top business lunch destinations, but if you're just looking for a drink after work, Rare offers discounted cocktails, wines and snacks at happy hour.

Great Evening. The food was very good. All steaks were cooked to perfection. The wagu steak however, was a little tough but the establishment made up for it and apologized.

Food was subpar for the cost. Our server was kind and mostly attentive. When we received the bill, we were charged $45 for two glasses of wine we didn’t order. Luckily we noticed but it didn’t sit well with me, felt like an attempt to purposely overcharge. Another table had some significant issue and we heard the manager apologize and then throw his staff under bus saying he didn’t have his A team on and he shouldn’t have had a particular stuff member with only a few days of experience working.

Worst $350 we have ever spent in a meal. Service was horrible - sat for 20 mins before waitress came. Steaks were not cooked how we asked and lobster Mac and cheese was fishy. Didn’t expect $120 steak to taster like roast. NEVER will be back - stick with Carnevor or Five O Clock - Flemmings is even 10x better.

Overall the experience was “mid”. We went for a birthday celebration. Service was excellent. We got multiple drinks, appetizers, multiple salads, crab cake, oyster Rockefeller. They were all good, nothing notable. Ordered two steaks (NY Strip, and Rib top), scallops and Mac and cheese for my little man, Brussels sprouts. The manager came by to check in, which seemed scripted and robotic. We finished our meal, and got hit with a $500+ bill for a meal for three main entrees. It may be nice for a business event but probably not worth a second visit.

Good evening, Thank you for the review! Your captain Chloe does a wonderful job taking care of our guests. I am sorry that we fell short on the food. We are changing things soon regarding our pricing on our upcoming menu. We would love to have you back in when we switch our menus. Thank you, John Levine General Manager
