| - I really want to give this place a better rating, but just cannot. I have been to Rare on three separate occasions and would "possibly" give it another try in the future.
First time I went was great. From the friendliness of the service all the way to the last bite of the meal, which brought me back once again.
My second experience was about 10 minutes long. Took a table in the bar area with the plan to have a cocktail and a light dinner with the lady, and did not even get approached by a server for that 10 minutes. Sorry, but a place of this level the service should be superior, and i've had service be more attentive at Denny's.....
Third and last time iced this place for me. Called and made a reservation for 6 o'clock on a Thursday and showed up to NOT have a reservation, although there were at least 20 tables that were open, and many of those were still open upon my party leaving, we were told to grab a table in the bar area and a server will be with us. Though upset, I kept my cool and we took a seat at a table in the bar area. Over 10 minutes went by again waiting for a server to acknowledge we were even there! The server was fantastic, and clearly was not her fault as she was given the ENTIRE bar area and outdoor seating area to handle by herself, which shows this establishment has management that could learn a thing or two....
Both times I ate the food was great, the servers I had were excellent, however there is something about this place that makes me feel the overall experience should be at a higher level. Giving Rare some time and I will be back, though they do need to work on providing a higher level of overall service to their patrons. Cheers!
