About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
Sink your teeth into Rare Society - a modern homage to the golden age of the American steakhouse. Chef and owner Brad Wise reimagines vintage upscale dining with a bold, contemporary edge: a wood-fired grill fueled by red oak, an in-house dry-aging program, sustainably sourced seafood, and a progressive cocktail menu that nods to the classics while pushing boundaries. The space hums with energy - smoke curling from the grill, the scent of fire and flavor wafting through the air. It’s easy to picture a Rat Pack-era dinner party in full swing: elegant, indulgent, just a little unruly. Rare Society doesn’t just pay tribute to steakhouse tradition - it revives it, reinvents it, and serves it with just a little bit of swagger.

    Started with the tuna crudo (maybe the best ever). My wife had the salmon - delicious, I had the ribeye, equally delicious and a generous size. Our waiter -Luke- was profesional and engaging. Highly recommend for a ‘step it up’ date night.

    My partner and I went for a lovely dinner and went beyond our expectations. We live locally and love the area and atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was very tasty and unique.

    We had a table reservation that we were early for so we were given a high tip on the outdoor side of the bar. We liked it so much we stayed for full dinner service right there. Top quality server (because I could tell, found out she was a musical theatre major- I can’t believe I can’t come up with her name, but BREAK A LEG, girl!) and excellent support staff; between servings to have your silverware, your plates, your napkins replaced and everything bussed so expediently, as well as have the area in front of you wiped down before the next course is just that extra touch that you really don’t find at many places anymore. Killer old fashioned, French 75, tequila drinks, Nebbiolo. My son said his ribeye was probably the best he’s ever had. Daughter was obsessed with the hamachi crudo. Grilled artichoke was clutch. They loved the Parker rolls. Nice heater above us and just a total vibe. We are now forever fans!

    First time there. The rolls are light, airy and baked fresh in a cast iron pan. The filet was so tender! The asparagus was the best he’s ever had, says my husband. The house cab was great too. We would definitely go back.
