“ We wanted a fancy dinner and had seen great reviews about this place. It didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our server Sarah B who definitely went above and beyond for us. You walk into this restaurant and there is a nice yet welcoming ambiance. We tried the bookkeeper and Lady Luck drinks-- deliciously crafted cocktails! So many great food options so we decided to share the Cesar salad, baked crab dip, whipped potatoes, asparagus, and the tri tip! Everything was aaaammmazing. We tried to order their dinner rolls but unfortunately they had just ran out. Everything was great but my favorites were the Cesar salad, the crab dip, and the asparagus! Couldn't leave without dessert and the Buttercake was the winner. Definitely have to try this for your next date night or just a nice evening out! ”
“ Updated review... I cannot say it enough how much i adore this restaurant. Service is immaculate and food is great too. Anyone who has not had a great time like me and my friends truly has not seen the true potential of this place. Let me just say that there is a TRUE reason why its difficult to get a reservation Friday- Sun. Its because they are seriously that popular! They should be. Its a great restaurant, especially for little ole mill creek (which lacks upscale dining). Rare Society truly has the best HH in my opinion. $10 wines? $9 smash burger and truffle fries? Cant go wrong. And if you dont know what to order the bartender or server will help you decide! With all that said... PRO TIP: be kind to the hostess and servers. Dont be a quintessential karen and bark at people for not giving you a freaking coaster for your drink or a straw when you never asked for one. It doesnt take a lot of effort to be kind to people, but apparently not a lot of people (even older generations) understand that. ”
“ So here we are, Friday date night, where do we go? Rare Society is my favorite place to pop in. Wonderful happy hour menu if you are on the go with a multi event night, they also have Fabulous dinner selection if you are looking for something more. Service is great even on a packed night. ”
“ Came here for a birthday dinner with reservations, they cap the meal time to about 90 minutes, but it wasn't a hard deadline. The service took awhile since it was busy, but multiple people were helpful in getting our order in and when we needed things like water once they noticed our server was busy. To start we got the tartare, the associate board, side of carrots and whipped potatoes, and two drinks. Total came to about $230. The tartare was a miss for us, I personally like a tartare with more integrity. Some bigger pieces, but the coloring was slightly off and was more of a mince. The associate board was plenty for us and had some nice pieces on there. Drinks were food and sides were good. For the price I think we got a good amount of food, and had some leftovers. Would recommend having dinner here, but skip the beed tartare ”
“ If you love a leisurely meal this place is for you! Star knocked off due to timing. They were late seating us for our reservation & our dinner took over 2 hours. Drinks, appetizers, main meal all took their sweet time to arrive. The restaurant is beautiful inside. No dress code, literally saw a man wearing pajamas. Everything was delicious - absolutely recommend the asparagus & Parker house rolls. The bacon was sweet and didn't really taste like the gochujang sauce. Drinks are pricy especially for the amount they give you. A glass of basic white wine was $16. For a group of 4 it was over $500 including tip and a 4% service fee (you can request to take this off). ”
“ We went to Rare Society last night for my friend's birthday and this was all our first time going here. Overall, the service was great and the ambiance of the place was very nice. Our server, Kyle, gave great recommendations on menu items and was very attentive. We made a reservation and got seated right away. Overall, the food was really tasty, flavorful and cooked perfectly. But be warned, it is very rich food. Lots of cheese, fat, truffle, butter, etc. I like that everything is sharable so we didn't need to order multiple items for the table, we could really just grab bites of everything. I'd say the star of the show was the steak on The Executive board. If I were to come back, I would likely just order a board and maybe 1-2 sides and call it good. But for a larger group, it's fun to get a little bit of everything and share. My favorite steak was the Wagyu (an add on to the board) and the Filet (which was included in the board). Everything was cooked a perfect medium rare and I loved all the dipping sauces that went with it. Another star - The Bananas Foster Cheesecake. I was glad I saved room for dessert because that cheesecake was soooo good. Definitely a fan favorite with the group! For the amount of food we got (not pictured: Butter Rolls (SO GOOD) and Shell Mac & Cheese) I'd say the price was very reasonable for 5 people + cocktails. This is definitely the type of place you go for a special occasion vs. just a random weeknight/date night spot just based on the menu, price, etc. ”
“ Rare Society delivers again! We came in and sat in the bar area. The service was great! I got the happy hour burger and fries. The burger here is classic goodness. It is simple, but the beef is incredibly good. It was cooked to perfection, seasoned well, and served in a nice fresh bun. The fries were cooked to an ideal golden brown. Great food, great service! ”
