Nestled in the heart of Washington DC between George Washington University and the White House, located on I Street NW, Rare Steakhouse delivers an eye-catching dining experience that appeals to the palate and the senses.
We visited here to do a different type of family get together. Stepping into its refined ambiance, guests are greeted by a concierge and muted lighting blended with wood-finished decor.
The menu at Rare Steakhouse isn't a expansive as other well-known, fine dining steakhouses. The menu fare is pretty standard and the actual plating of the food is visually appealing.
The service provided by Francisco during our visit was almost impeccable. The menu is varied enough to accommodate any dietary preferences including those who are pescatarian or plant-based.
Of the items we ate, the Caesar Salad, Lobster Bisque and dinner rolls were of this place's "greatest hits". The other items were so so and not very noteworthy except for the obvious which are the steaks.
The standout to me personally was the charred octopus which was served extremely well. The meat was tender, well seasoned and complemented with great garnishments.
This is a place that we enjoyed for the ambiance and the food was pretty good, yet not as excellent as we hoped.
Docking a star simply for the price. It’s great but it’s just too expensive. It’s priced like a Michelin star tasting menu.
Our server, Ishmael, was probably the best thing about our meal. What a lovely guy, the best service I have had in recent memory.
The food was excellent, really top notch. Highly recommended, especially if you don’t mind paying.
Exceeded my expectations! My friend and I enjoyed our last night in DC by having dinner here. The decor and ambiance are gorgeous. I really liked the small touches, like using the elevator and the nice bathrooms. Our server was great and very open to all our questions. I ordered a delicious cocktail, 6 raw oysters, and a ceasar salad. The salad was huge with just the right amount of dressing, and the only problem with my oysters is that I didn't have enough of them. Beyond delicious. My friend enjoyed her T-bone and side of sauteed mushrooms. Overall, we had a great experience and would return when in the area.
Very high quality Food but expensive. Perfect grilled Steaks 🥩 and a extraordinary quality of Wague-Steaks.
High class restaurant with a big wine 🍷 storage and gourmet kitchen.
There is only one word: perfect!
Excellent bison steak with creamed spinach and parmesan fries sides also very good. Service was faultless, being smart, friendly and able to judge when ready to order more drinks etc. Close proximity to White House which is good for visitors to DC but seemed a bit pricey also.
Held a company event for nearly 20 people. Some steakhouses are loud and crowded. Rare was upscale, intimate, and perfect for our event. The steaks were impeccably prepared with just the right amount of salt to provide a great crust and mouth watering flavor. The braised short rib fell off the bone delicious. Highly recommend. My new favorite steakhouse in DC.
This is a good steakhouse. Good service, nice ambience, and quiet. Makes for good conversation. Their chopped salad is the best I've ever had - amazing! The dry age ribeye is OK, not bad, I've definitely had better - but overall really recommended for DC.
The atmosphere here is amazing. Timeless and beautiful. Needless to say, they are great with steaks. I personally had the NY STRIP and very much so enjoyed it. The steaks are cooked to perfection. The side orders however, did not shine as brightly (with the exception being the mushroom; they were amazing). All-in-all, go for the steak.
My Wife made a reservation here while on vacation. It is not only a beautiful place the food and our Waiter Jose were top notch! I grew up in Iowa/Nebraska beef country and my 14 oz. NY Strip rivaled anything I've ever has. It was such a great experience we are glad my Wife found this gem!!
We visited with our family of three, including our one year old son.
We ordered the 36oz tomahawk steak.
The steak was very fine looking and very tasty and impressive.
I am sorry to say that I failed a bit to take a picture.
I ordered it cooked medium, but it was a bit close to rare.
If you want it grilled more firmly, you might want to let them know.
However, we were very satisfied.
We would definitely visit again.
