Rare Steakhouse

Rare is one of my favorite places to eat in mke. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff really make the experience. There’s so many little touches rare does that you get to experience at each dinner. 10/10 would recommend for a nice dinner or even bar food and a drink.

Phenomenal food, great staff, and a great experience over all. I highly recommend their Japanese Wagyu and Lobster Bisque!

Excellent.

Beautiful restaurant. Very good food. Raj, our waiter, was completely lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The raspberry creme brulee was amazing. I highly recommend Rare if you are looking for an awesome steak house experience here in Milwaukee. This place rates right up there with some of the best in the country.

On my 2024 Tour of Steakhouses, this was at the top of the list. Where do I even begin? First I have to say we were well taken care of by the General Manager Devante and our server Alex. Both individuals made the experience a 10/10. The location is easy to find right off of Michigan, near the lake. There is a garage across the street with affordable parking by the hour but Ubering is a safer bet because the cocktail menu is amazing. We sat in one of their gorgeous booths in the back by their library. Although their dining room isn't enormous, there are plenty of seats and two private rooms. I think they utilize them as general seating when they aren't booked for parties, but again, plenty of room in the dining area. The bar was also large with a decent amount of seating. We started with martinis and calamari. The calamari comes with a spicy and a sweet dipping sauce. Per Alex's recommendation, we split the chopped salad. It's full of vegetables that compliment each other perfectly. They also bring enormous flaky popovers with a honey butter. You'll start with half because they're so big, but you'll finish the whole thing because addicting. For dinner I had the NY Strip and my friend had the Bottleneck. Both were cooked perfectly. We went with creamed corn (very strong smoky flavor), broccolini, and lobster mac. The lobster mac had a generous amount of lobster so I was very happy. For dinner we split their crème brûlée special, which was s'more flavored. Yum! We each also got some espresso because all of that eating had us exhausted. Alex and Devante stopped by the table periodically to chat. We had such a great time making small talk and learning about the establishment. After dinner we explore their library which is full of vintage books. It's hard to choose a highlight to our trip because everything was perfection. We haven't stopped talking about our visit and are recommending everyone try out this top tier steakhouse!!

I'm in no way a food snob, but I could have cooked a better steak at home. I ordered a med-rare steak and it was burnt on the outside. NO flavor to it. No sides were included. $14 for a couple brussels sprouts. The chocolate cake as the best part of the meal.

My boyfriend treated me, and what a treat it was! From start to finish, it was top-notch! We enjoyed popovers, delectable steaks, beef fat fries, and finished with pistachio creme brûlée! And the atmosphere was perfect!
