Rare 650 is our GO TO restaurant for all family celebrations, and our latest visit was the BEST MEAL we've had here so far. Absolutely impeccable service lead by CLIFF DRAGONETTI and his amazing team were incredibly accommodating to our party of 7. They have really mastered the art of hospitality. Thank you Cliff, Tara, and Team for a wonderful meal and memorable experience.

We decided to enjoy an evening out without the kids and thought Blackstone’s would be a great treat. We were right! Rich and Jory were absolutely fantastic. Rich impressed us with his knowledge, memory and thoughtful approach. Jory was delightful in following up and tending to our needs. The food was excellent. Loved the brandy mushrooms with the ribeye flambéed before us at the table. And the Key Lime pie and coffee topped off our wonderful dining experience. Still the best restaurant on Long Island a decade after having kids!
