Rare Society provides a wonderful dining experience with delicious steaks and lobsters. The steak platter is a highlight, and the truffle bread and potato lobster side dish add a special touch. The service is attentive and professional, with a friendly atmosphere, especially on the outdoor second-floor balcony where guests can enjoy a beautiful sunset over Catalina Island. Inside, the decor combines modern lighting, dark walls, and midcentury furnishings, creating a stylish and relaxed vibe that is perfect for special occasions and date nights. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which can be arranged in advance. Customers often recommend trying the happy hour and the meat board, which features several different cuts of meat. The menu includes a variety of dishes like shrimp cocktail with a smoky twist, snow crab claws, and wood-grilled lamb lollipops, all worth the price. The Denver cut wagyu is a popular choice for an entree, while sides such as whipped potatoes, truffle creamed spinach, and ricotta ravioli complement the meal nicely. For dessert, the butter cake topped with sour cream ice cream is highly recommended, surpassing others nearby. Overall, Rare Society is known for its delicious food, beautiful setting, and excellent service, making it a top choice despite its higher prices.
