    We have been to Rare several times before and it just gets better each time we dine there. It is my wife’s favorite restaurant and that where she wanted to dine for her birthday. The steak and lobster was awesome and my cowboy steak was great. Ambience and service was also great. Just a wonderful experience

    You can never go wrong at Rare. The professionalism, the service and of course the food! Everything is always superb. We dine there frequently for a reason. It is as good a steakhouse as any here in the entire New York Metropolitan area. That should be all you need to know.

    It's a bit pricey but the food is delicious 😋 Best steaks around! Tables are a little close, the man behind me kept bumping his chair into mine. Our waiter James was AMAZING he was very polite and very attentive. I feel that he always had eyes on our table and was there any time we needed something, despite being very busy. I always recommend Rare for good food.

    From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. I brought my fiance here for his birthday and it was nothing short of perfection. The food and ambiance were amazing. Our waiters Kevin and Jose were awesome and extremely attentive. We ordered a bunch of food and everything came out delicious. The porterhouse for 2 was seasoned and cooked perfectly! Would definitely come back here!
