RARE650

Anniversary

We were brought in to a table that people were just sitting down to. They had to move back to their original table but we were made to feel a bit uncomfortable. Extremely loud in the room we were in. The service was not very attentive. Our drink order took forever- in fact our salads were brought out before we even had our drinks.I double checked before going that they are aware that we were celebrating our daughters birthday and was told that the waiter would be notified and “something special” would be done for her. After we already paid the bill, the waiter brought out a piece of cheesecake with a candle in it. While he was lighting the candle he said that the other waiter messed up and we wouldn’t be charged for the cake. Oh... thank you?? Really?

As always, the food and service were superb. We have been regulars for years just for that reason.

Food and service were great. I think the meal was a little pricey. Dinner for four with three apps, two desserts and two drinks a piece almost $700

The service was wonderful. We sat in the atrium, which was beautiful. the maitré D came over to our table to greet us and tell us if there was anything we didn't feel was to our liking to please tell them immediately, they want to make sure we are completely satisfied with our dining experience. The food was delicious, we ordered the Kobe steak for 2 and 2 sides which were delicious. Again, the waiters could not be nicer or more accommodating. Our waiters were Michael and Mario.
Thank you for a wonderful meal, we will definitely be going again.

Very pricey. They would"nt accept a 40.00 off coupon because 2 people out of 4 ordered the 59.00 Sunday special. Service was slow. We waited a long time for appetizers. Food was very good although would not return...

Fabulous food and excellent wine list. The porterhouse was very tasty and cooked to perfection. Excellent service capped off the perfect meal.

Everything was wonderful. Best lobster I’ve had in ages. Our server Fadja made the experience even more special.

Service and food were outstanding! Having eaten at many of the other high end steak houses on LI, rare 650 is our new favorite.

The service was amazing, the food was cooked to perfection, our bottle we ordered was also delicious. I love this place and their attention to detail when it comes to customer service is always on point. Cliff the manager came over to our table to wish us a happy anniversary and was a pleasure to talk to. I can’t wait to go back here for dinner. I’m even considering an event in the future.

Anniversary celebration so stayed at the Fox Hollow Inn whose owners also own Rare650. 1st time at the restaurant. Went there for the non-sushi side of menu. Appetizers and a porterhouse for 2 was all I needed. Oh and that Rare650 layer cake? Should be sold in stores. Awesome. Can’t beat the wine list at a steak house.

The food is always great. No complaints about anything. The service was terrific too.

Unfortunately waiting 3hrs to eat but food was cooked perfectly.

Our two servers were absolutely amazing. Extremely helpful and had a ton of menu knowledge. The food was cooked perfectly and so full of flavor. The general manger was amazing and took care of us for our birthdays which we were celebrating. We will absolutely be returning for the amazing food and amazing staff.

As usual, Rare650 was excellent. The service was fantastic and so was the food. So glad we chose it to celebrate our anniversary.

Food was decent, ambiance was nice, extra touch with sending desert when we mentioned it was our anniversary. Other tables around us were told about specials and we were not, not sure why and other tables that sat down after us were served first. Guess we didn't dress the part of their usual upscale patrons.

Not only was food really good but service was on point. From the check in staff greeting you warmly and with smiles to the wait staff really having an eye on everything making sure all the food cane out at the right time and there was never a dry water or drink glass. When you go out for a nice meal, you can’t ask for anything more. Made you feel like family. Thanks guys...looking forward to coming back again

Amazing drinking expensive bourban and bottles of wine but some how the chef couldnt cook a med/rare NY Strip sent back twice so I watched my wife eat then she watched me eat. happy wedding anniversary out the window on this one

The Sunday nightfitel and lobster special I delicious.

Food was fresh & delicious - service was fantastic

The service tonight was absolutely horrible. We waited 25 minutes after our set reservation to actually go sit down. Then we waited another 30 minutes for our drinks to come after we ordered them. Then another 20 minutes to have someone take our order.

No one brought bread (it was almost 10 pm at this time) and we had bread plates. It took about a half hour after we ordered to get our appetizer. We complained so our food came out shortly after that.

They gave us a round of drinks and dessert on the house. The food was delicious, but the service really put a damper on the evening. I was celebrating my 10 year wedding anniversary, and it was hard to celebrate with such lousy service.

Been going to Rare for many years. This was the first time the service was poor, very disappointing.

The food was overpriced and it was only average. I have had better steaks at other steak houses. My steak was tough and wasn't very tasty. I was disappointed with the experience.

The food was delicious. Service was outstanding. Wait staff was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The well dressed man with a great suit was extremely friendly and you could tell really cared about our dining experience. Overall a fantastic night

My Fiancee got a steak that normally has some fat on it, but it seemed to have a little more than usual. It was no problem. He just didn't finish the entire plate like he usually does. The waiters were more than willing to help and get him something else. He was more than happy with the amount he ate because they give you more than enough food! The manager also came over to try and buy a round of drinks for the steak not being exactly perfect. We declined because we were beyond happy with our meals anyway! Everything was delicious as always! Rare 650 has the best creamed spinach, every time! It never fails! Great service, Great food and always a nice time.

Nothing about this restaurant was impressive or warrants a return visit. Walked through cigar smoke to get in. Bar was sticky & bartender was unattentive. Second round of drinks tasted way different than the first round. Table service was odd, steak was way overcharred, artichokes were room temperature. Not sorry we tried it, but no need to return.

Rare650 is one of my favorite restaurants on Long Island. Service, food, and ambiance is outstanding. Thank you to manager Tommy and the incredible service from joe, Steve and mike.

Went for my husband's birthday. Waitress was wonderful. Highly accommodating: I complained that the dish came with peppers and she promptly offered a substitute. When we declined to order dessert, she brought two donuts and a candle anyway. My son and husband had steak and raved about it. We will be back for my son's birthday next month.

The service was very slow. The food was fine but it was not a good night for them.

Birthday they were very accommodating let us bring our own cake and they brought it out with candles

Everything was great, made my son feel special

The manager is very nice and there’s a great vibe in the restaurant. Our waiter was very nice and asked about dietary restrictions too.

My wife and I save this restaurant for all of our special occasions! The staff is always pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable, which is often a rare combination in establishments of this level. The general manager Cliff, was a true gentlemen in how he addressed and remedied the only “cork” in our recent anniversary dinner.
I would would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have a wonderful experience. My wife and I will certainly be returning soon!

The food and service were perfect. Cliff was very warm and courteous

We had a fabulous experience, we decided to book last minute and they were happy to accommodate us, the food was amazing and the service was outstanding. Could not have asked for a better first time experience.

we were served our entrees approximately 15 minutes after a couple who had sat down 1/2 hour after us was served their entrees. the food was overcooked. the manager blamed it on a new computer system in the kitchen and was gracious in credited us for our drinks and appetizers. The wait staff was embarrassed at the time it took for the food to arrive and after an initial explanation tried to avoid us. All in all a not so pleasant evening. we have eaten there in the past and never experience a night like this.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Father’s Day dinner. Great service, food, ambiance. Loved the $59pp 2lb lobster & filet mignon special they have. I was even able to have my spicy tuna roll as an appy! Waiter opened up our whole lobster for us-fantastic! Go! Only Sunday nights though!

From the time we arrived the valet service was very good and and friendly. Then checked in with hostess who was very sweet. We sat and the bar and have a few drinks, we had a great bartender who was funny and made great drinks. We met the manager who took the time to chat with us and
Even bought us a drink. Then off to dinner the servers were on top of their game from suggestions to serving our meal which was well work the price we paid. It was a very relaxing enjoyable time. Thanks for making my Father’s Day so special!

Always a quality experience. Food is first rate and the conservatory room is delightful. Went for a boys night out with my son, father in law and brother in law. Wouldn’t have surprised me if the check was North by $300 so I considered it a great value.
