| - I was excited to see this place opening up only a couple miles from my house. Took me a while to finally get out and try it, but I did this past weekend. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.
First off, the service seemed kind of disorganized. Though the server who eventually got to us was apologetic and helpful once things were underway.
I got an iceberg/blue cheese wedge salad, which was good and tasty, though the iceberg portion was a little overlarge. The main course was a rare petite filet with a side of steamed broccoli and a side of sweet corn & leeks.
The steak itself was obviously very high quality meat, and it was properly prepared. Not the best steak I've had for this price, but a very solid steak nonetheless.
The sides were... and I hate to say this... just awful. They were completely unseasoned, overcooked, and watery. I haven't had sides that bad in a long time. This seems like an easy fix, and I did email them about it later. If they get back to me, I'll give this place another try.
My friend had the same thing I had and had the same complaint. We were underwhelmed enough that we decided to get dessert elsewhere.
As a final note, the decor was a bit spotty. They had a great looking wine room up front and lots of real candles on the wall that added a nice ambiance, but the actual dining area seemed a bit spare and the curtains were kind of just thrown there. So they could use a little tune up there as well.
I really do think Henderson needs more unique high end dining spots, and RARE could be one of them, with a little more work I hope they can tune things up and then I'll change my review. But for now, I'd say it's not worth it.
