We loved the ambiance here! It has a “speakeasy” type atmosphere with the low lights and dark furnishings and big open bar. The server was great, very attentive and friendly. All of the food was superb- especially the arancini, the Mac and cheese and the crème brulee! The drinks were ample in selection. The only thing that was a disappointment was the steak unfortunately. We ordered a 12 oz filet medium rare and it came out well done. For a steak house, hopefully it was just a one time thing…thankfully the sauces were good! We would come back for the sides, apps, desserts and ambiance!

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.
