    We had a very nice time dining at Rare 3001. It was a special meal for my wife’s birthday. This Cosmos were great and the food superb. We enjoyed the French onion soup and the Blackened steak tips over super delicious mashed potatoes with mushrooms, onions and Demi glaze. The lobster tails and king crab were priced fairly. We indulged and didn’t regret it! Thank you Rare for a wonderful experience.

    This was our first time at Rare. We went for a 70th birthday dinner for my husband. Everything from start to finish was AMAZING! We had a reservation, but ended up sitting at the bar as Angelica was so engaging! Will def be back!

    Arrived early and we were seated promtly in the bar area, which I was not pleased about as they were having a Drink Special Night. I thought they might have booked up the Dining area, but not the case. Next time I will ask for the Dining Room only. Server was prompt to greet us and asked about water. Hubby said plain Tap water would be fine. We were charged $10.00 for the water. I did not see the bill before we paid. I learned a lesson. The Lobster Bisque is EXCELLENT, loads of lobster meat and rich soup. Bread was a Jalapeno type bread, no non spicy bread offered. Came with Honey type butter and plain oil. (I thought a strange combination.) Entrees were Short Ribs and Seafood Brodetto. The Seafood was also EXCELLENT! Short Ribs were a bit fatty, but somewhat expected, asparagus was the side along with scalloped potatoes. We had 2 glasses of wine and one special cocktail. Bill was $181+.

    Rare 3001 exceeded my expectations! The ribeye was absolutely phenomenal—one of the best I’ve had in Rochester, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The service was just as impressive; our server had a fantastic personality and was incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The overall experience was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

    Great food and service. But extremely cold and breezy. Also tables around us were so loud that it was hard to hear each other talk.
