Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Medium Rare in Houston is a vibrant spot known for its "bottomless mimosas" and "delicious French toast." While the concept draws inspiration from Paris, the "secret sauce" earns praise. Service experiences vary, but standout servers like "Cameron" and "Nicole" enhance visits. The fixed menu offers good value, especially during brunch.

Food was good and tasty. Mimosas could be colder. The noise was pretty high. It was hard to talk and hear others at the table. Overall a good experience.

I believe the Medium Rare concept is quite appealing, however, the steak served with gravy was rather unpleasant and the fries were excessively cooked. The execution of this otherwise promising concept was lacking. Our server was delayed in bringing our food to us, as we observed a table of five being served before us, although tbey came approximately 15 after our arrival, am hesitant to consider returning, even though the brunch was offered at a reasonable price. The ambiance and music were enjoyable, and the diversity was a positive aspect of the experience.

I was very disappointed how loud the music was for Sunday Brunch on Fathers day. It was so loud it was very hard to hear people talk at our table, and hard to hear our Waitress, too. Also, when we were seated by the Hostess, it was about 15 minutes and no wait staff came to our table or brought us any water.... and I had to flag down another waitress to ask her who our waiter was. When she came back to the table, she said she would wait on us. Her service was great, but the restaurant should have a better coordination between the Hostess and wait staff.

Was not satisfied with the quality and service. Service was bad, we did not get asked for drinks until 10 minutes after we sat down, we did not know who our server was, we had to ask around to find out. Once we finally ordered food, it was not very delicious, bland. I would not recommend this place at all to anyone else.

Best French toast I’ve had hands down. The brunch is a fixed price with a simple menu and a very good deal in my opinion. Food is delicious and service is great.

The concept is copying the Paris. But the steak quality and quantity is way less than expected. We don’t even want to share the pictures to mistakenly lead our friends to repeat our adventure here. This is far less than French level, how can you survive in Texas?! Disappointed. The only good is the sauce taste and service is kind.

Medium Rare was honestly better than I expected. Our waiter was AWESOME wish I remembered his name. Bottomless Mimosas is what made me make the reservations. TikTok is such a wonderful place so SHOUTOUT to TikTok and all the recommendations didn't disappoint. Try the Cranberry Mimosa SOOOOOO GoodT.
