Rare is the epitome of a classic steakhouse and if you feel like a really fancy dinner, there's no better option in Madison. Everything about Rare exudes class. The waitstaff is friendly and happy to explain anything in detail and they feature a huge bar and wine list. You'll be served in comfortable high top tables or plush leather booths and eat from silverware, all while enjoying a quiet and warm ambiance.
The steaks, as you can imagine, are cooked exactly as ordered, with the perfect amount of butter and seasoning. Unfortunately they don't include sides in the high price of the steak, but you can choose from giant, loaded baked potatoes and fresh vegetables that provide enough to share. Their salads are even special with delicious dressing and amazing nuts and cheese. Also, don't miss their desserts which are equally delicious.
The prices are high, but thankfully you'll get what you pay for.
