| - Went here for restaurant week, and was quite under-whelmed. First, be aware they do not let you "split" a set for restaurant week, even if you upgrade to one of the more expensive steaks that is 22 oz and more than twice the cost (e.g. $35 for restaurant week pre fixe + $45 for the 22 oz ribeye upgrade).
Second, everything about the food was okay, not quite what you would expect from an expensive steakhouse. My medium steak was more like medium-rare/rare, with blood oozing from the center. The flavor was completely bland. Mushroom and mashed potato were soggy. Indeed, I see no quality difference from say a Longhorn Steakhouse.
Crabcake appetizer had basically no crab, and was almost entirely mayonnaise and breading. Dessert chocolate tart was probably the most decent out of everything, with a subtle nutty taste. Pass on the coffee panna cotta, tasteless and boring.
Edit: Apparently Bill F. was so offended by my review he actually wrote me and called me a plebeian and told me to stay home because I wanted to split the upgrade restaurant week fare (for the record, it was another couple in our party who wanted to do that, but whatever, I don't know why it's anyone's business that it's what they wanted to do and was refused).
I didn't like my experience at Rare. If you did, cool, write a review. No need for name calling.
