Our daughter's birthday celebration at Katana was lovely! We ordered a variety of appetizers, specialty rolls, entrees, cocktails (including N/A) and everything was delicious. Some of us were not experienced sushi eaters and the staff was great in educating us on what things were. They also gave a complimentary dessert to the birthday girl! A great time!

Girardi's signature dish, Fred's Salmon, a gently smoked and perfectly prepared Salmon served with wild mushroom risotto and roasted asparagus is served Thursdays through Sundays and not to be missed.

Great server Jen; knew her stuff, good pacing; prompt acknowledgement on arrival - overall excellent. Of the four dishes we tried three were A+! And one was an A. The halibut was a superb presentation of fish and sauce and accompanying sides but was a tiny bit overcooked. - still very very good but 1 minute less would have been better. Well worth coming again!

Rare Society - Mill Creek

Mill Creek

About the restaurant

Sink your teeth into Rare Society - a modern homage to the golden age of the American steakhouse. Chef and owner Brad Wise reimagines vintage upscale dining with a bold, contemporary edge: a wood-fired grill fueled by red oak, an in-house dry-aging program, sustainably sourced seafood, and a progressive cocktail menu that nods to the classics while pushing boundaries. The space hums with energy - smoke curling from the grill, the scent of fire and flavor wafting through the air. It’s easy to picture a Rat Pack-era dinner party in full swing: elegant, indulgent, just a little unruly. Rare Society doesn’t just pay tribute to steakhouse tradition - it revives it, reinvents it, and serves it with just a little bit of swagger.

We had an excellent experience at Rare Society. I can't remember having so many people servicing our table. We really enjoyed the Associate board and was customized to fit our tastes. Waitress was impressive to say the least. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return.
