His attention to detail and friendly personality really stood out and made our evening even more special. The entire team was professional, attentive, and made sure every need was met without ever feeling rushed. Rare650 continues to impress us every time we visit—highly recommend for anyone looking for an upscale dining experience with truly exceptional service!

The food is always incredible, we had the skirt steak, Mac n cheese, cream spinach and lobster sushi which was a special of the evening. They made sure we had the best table in the house and were treated like royalty. We love coming to this restaurant it is a guaranteed good time with exceptional service and food!!!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. The service was top-notch from start to finish — warm, attentive, and professional. A special shoutout to the General Manager, Cliff, who went above and beyond, personally checking in on tables and making sure every guest felt welcome and cared for. The lobster bisque was rich and flavorful — truly one of the best I’ve had. I was blown away by the aged T-bone steak, especially with their foie gras truffle butter on top… pure decadence! Every bite was divine. I also loved the enclosed backyard area — the real palm trees and glass ceiling make you feel like you're dining outdoors in a tropical oasis, while still enjoying all the comfort of being inside. Desserts and coffee were just as impressive — beautifully presented and delicious. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a memorable night out, Rare 650 delivers Quality on every level.

RARE650 Steakhouse – A First-Class Culinary Experience From the moment we walked into RARE650, we knew we were in for something special. A huge shoutout to Cliff, the GM, for ensuring my first-time experience was nothing short of amazing. His attention to detail and hospitality set the tone for a truly memorable night. Our server, Nelson, elevated the evening even further with his impeccable service and spot-on wine recommendation that perfectly complemented our meal. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and tender—and the branzino was absolutely mouthwatering, with delicate flavors that melted in every bite. Jorge, who also assisted us, was extremely knowledgeable and recommended delicious side dishes. This is fine dining at its best—from the ambiance to the service to the expertly crafted dishes. Run, don’t walk to RARE650. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later. Thanks again for an incredible night!

This place is literally a 10 out of 10. The Caesar salad is delish, you can tell the dressing is fresh. The skirt steak comes with fried onions and a house made steak sauce. Those items compliment the steak but are not even needed because the steak is seasoned perfectly. The Sushi was extremely fresh(in a good way) and came with the perfect amount of ginger and wasabi Best Crab Cake in NY. There’s very little filler and the filler is seasoned with goodness that melts together with the lump crab you wouldn’t even know it was there. Absolutely delicious. The apple crumb dessert was pretty good also. I should also mention that the vibe was very upscale.

Beautiful and spacious restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and attentive service throughout the meal. The braised short ribs were very good and definitely a highlight. The steak was enjoyable, though not especially memorable, and the yellowtail crudo and tuna tartare were a bit mild in flavor for our taste. Overall, a nice dining experience with plenty to like, and we’d be happy to return.

Very good steak house. Rare 650 offers a dinner special, Sunday-Thursday. For $69 a person, you will get a delicious 3 course meal. There are plenty of choices on the menu, some have a slight upcharge such as filet mignon which was an additional 8 dollars. All the appetizers were very good and plentiful, the main courses were also delicious. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were big enough to share. We had a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. All in all Rare 650 was a good experience and I will probably be back.

I visited Rare650 few months back when I was in NY for the weekend, and I had dinner here one night. Inside the restaurant is beautiful. Gives you the sense that you're in a Manhattan style establishment. We were seated up on their 2nd floor, which is the wine cellar, and unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures! But just trust it was beautiful. We started out with 2 well made cocktails, a Blueberry Mule, and a Rare650 Cosmo, one may be enough, they do not skimp on the alcohol. We ordered the calamari and rock shrimp appetizer, and it was delicious. It was fresh tasting and lightly battered and crispy. For the main, we ordered the porterhouse for 2, along with a side of truffle mash potatoes, and one spicy tune roll. The porterhouse was cooked just how we like it, medium rare. It was tender, flavorful, and certainly enough for two! When it was brought over to the table, the server carved it in front of us and served it up. I can't stop talking about how delicious the steak was! The spicy tuna roll was ok, it did however leave a very fishy aftertaste, I've never experienced with before from anywhere else that I've ordered this form. I didn't quite like that. The mash potatoes were ok, it could use a-lot more flavor, for us it was bland. We shared the deconstructed apple pie for dessert, it was warm and so comforting. A plus, you must try it if you visit this restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful, I do recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The staff was great, they welcome us in, and we were seated upstairs right away. Moments after being seat, our server came over and introduced himself and made some recommendations, which were the drinks that we ended up ordering. One thing to note, they do often have some dinner special, dinner for two for only $69.00, which comes out to a great deal. Check their website or ask the servers for their specials if you happen to drop in for dinner. We had a great experience here and we do plan to return again for another special occasion.

Service was good, but waited to order over half a hour. Food was good, although the charred octopus was too chewy, steak medium well, not medium I requested. Otherwise a nice atmosphere, pretty loud, but busy. We had a nice booth which made the experience better.

I dined at Rare650 on January 20, 2026, to celebrate my birthday with my wife—overall a mixed experience. The ambiance was fantastic: warm and inviting with a beautiful glass ceiling offering evening sky views, great lighting, comfortable seating, and a lively yet relaxed vibe that made it special. Starters were highlights—the bacon slab was tender and flavorful, and the large sushi appetizer was generous (for 2-3 people), fresh, creative—I finished it all myself. But the $150 special single 16oz Wagyu ribeye was a huge letdown. I chose it over the $250 40oz Wagyu steak-for-two after those apps, expecting luxury from my prior Wagyu experiences. True high-grade Wagyu ribeye has intense snowflake-like marbling, rendering buttery with pale pink color, even fat, and a prominent fat cap for tenderness. Instead, it resembled a New York strip: gristly fat edge, no central marbling—just dense, chewy meat with deep red hue, no fat cap. The first bite was tough; served rarer than my medium-rare request. I flagged a waiter; he confirmed it was Wagyu ribeye and asked if I wanted the manager. I suggested reheating since too rare—he did, but it stayed tough. He asked again about the manager; on my birthday, I avoided commotion, snapping quietly: "Will the manager make it less chewy?" Service was good and friendly, main waitress attentive, but could've been more proactive on a high-ticket item. Value: Apps were excellent with big portions, but steak overpriced and misrepresented—didn't match Wagyu cut/marbling/texture despite confirmations. I'd return for starters and vibe, but skip specials without better clarification.

Good restaurant, delicious fish/sushi options. Didn’t try yet steaks there. Atmosphere is nice, TVs with sports and good music in a back BUT!!! No Apple Pay!!! And desserts were surprisingly NOT good. Tiramisu-frozen ice inside - do not recommend. Told about this issue to the waiter-just “Sorry” and didn’t try to solve the issue-provide alternative dessert or do not charge this one. Cheesecake-sour and not sweet at all. Coctails- regular good, lots of ice.

The atmosphere and aesthetics of this restaurant were beautiful, and the drinks were enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. I came for dinner and ordered a NY strip steak that was burnt, not charred. It had a strong burnt taste and was very difficult to cut through. When the waiter asked for feedback, I provided my honest opinion. There was no acknowledgment of my response, and although I did not request it, the manager was brought over. I calmly explained the issue with the steak. Instead of addressing the concern or offering an apology, the manager responded in an aggressive and dismissive manner, insisting that this was how the steak is prepared. I made it clear that I understand how steak is cooked, but burnt food is unacceptable. My friend’s lamb chops were also excessively burnt, to the point that her napkins were stained as if from heavy grease or overcooking. While the ambiance and drinks were great, the food quality and customer service fell well below expectations. Unfortunately, this experience overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable evening.

This is one of the most disturbing experiences I’ve ever had with a restaurant. I have been to this place before with other people and never had an issue. This time, I drove myself and was forced to use valet parking because there is no reasonable alternative. Wanting my car to be safe, I handed over my vehicle and keys and dined at the bar on a busy Saturday night. I left around 10:30 PM. Everything appeared normal when I received my car. A few hours later, in the middle of the night, I began receiving fraud alerts for unauthorized credit card charges. The next day, I discovered that my locked glove compartment had been opened and my wallet had been accessed. All of my credit cards, my driver’s license, and pay roll were stolen, along with personal items from inside my vehicle. The glove box can only be opened with the car key, which was in valet custody. This means someone accessed my locked vehicle while it was under their control. I returned to the restaurant to speak with management and was met with complete indifference. The manager showed no concern, no urgency, and no accountability. I was told they were too busy to review security footage and later promised the footage would be sent to me — which never happened. I was never contacted, followed up with, or offered any assistance. Even worse, management claimed this had “never happened before,” which I later learned was false. After filing a police report, I was explicitly told by police that similar incidents have occurred at this location multiple times, including one involving a police officer. Law enforcement also explained that these thefts commonly occur during busy or festive periods, when valet activity is high. To add insult to injury, a valet employee was rude and dismissive when I returned, telling me I could not park without valet and would have to park far away — despite the restaurant having just opened and being nearly empty. When customers are forced to use valet, the business is responsible for the security of their vehicles and belongings. This restaurant failed at every level — security, honesty, professionalism, and basic human concern. I felt violated, dismissed, and ignored. I am posting this to warn others. Think very carefully before handing over your car and your personal belongings here.
