We all had a wonderful time..there was 4 in our party and we all shared the executive board - was over the top awesome!! We also had 3 sides all of them were delicious but the favorite was the creamy mashed potatoes. The Parker rolls are to die for deliciousness. We all then shared the Bananas Foster and the Butter Cake - both of which were equally appreciated. The waiters were great and very attentive!! We all had a wonderful time. Thank you for a great experience!!

From the moment we arrived and were seated it was an amazing experience. All service members were very knowledgeable about their menu, had great depth advice for any recommendations. All the food was outstanding, you can taste the true work of the wood fire, all meats and sides were delicious and flavorful. To tie it in beautifully the dessert was perfect. My one and only issue which advice to anyone going is be prepared for parking, there is none for the location so you have to search around the area, which unfortunately did take about 30minutes driving around trying to find a parking spot.

Cesar salad, Brussels, potatoes au grautin, Filet and butter cake. Everything we had was amazing.

Went yesterday for my husbands & I anniversary & we had a great experience. The host was very nice & accommodating, our waiter was very informative & gave great suggestions. We ordered the associate board, whipped mashed potatoes with lobster & the meat was phenomenal. Definitely will be returning!!

The service is second to none. The food is absolutely delicious. You will impress anyone you decide to take to this fabulous place.

Great experience from the start. Was met at the host table by manager we greeted us and showed us to our seats. Followed by an extremely knowledgeable waiter who explained menus, drinks and cuts of meat. Steak, sides and seasonal holiday cocktails all blew away expectations. If a negative if any the setting is very intimate so it was loud in the restaurant but that's not an issue as my family and I used to speaking up. It was my son's birthday and they made it a memorable one for him. Amazing restaurant and staff highly recommend for anyone. Lucked up with street parking in front of restaurant as well.

Wonderful experience celebrating my sister's birthday! The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and they truly went out of their way to make the evening special. Great food and great service.

Hands down the best food experience we've had in San Diego, and perhaps ever. The service was exceptionally outstanding. The manager was so incredibly kind, warm and friendly. As he seated me, he asked about the occasion and I said it was a date, but a make-up date for a bad experience we had at Cowboy Star. He checked in with us throughout the entire meal, genuinely interested in what we thought of the food, eager to hear what we had to say about it. Our waiter, Matt, was so warm and genuine I joked that I wanted to be friends with him. Between the two of them, it felt almost like being at a really, really fancy friend's house. They both cared so much, and their care and concern for our happiness really came through at every step. The food was absolutely outstanding. We ordered the hamachi crudo with red curry aioli and pickled pineapple, the parker house rolls with truffle butter, the blue crab dip with toasted baguette, the “Associate” steak platter that came with a wagyu Denver steak, a wagyu tri-tip, and filet mignon and we added an additional bullseye ribeye as well. The presentation was stunning, all sliced on a gorgeous wooden platter with some bone marrow, whipped garlic tallow butter, bernaise, steak sauce, and Santa Maria salsa. Warm plates were brought to our table before the steak came out, a nice touch. My partner practically wept at the first bite of wagyu tri-tip. Their steaks are all cooked over red oak fire, with heavily seasoned crust. Again, the flavor of everything was just unmatched, cooked perfectly, meltingly tender. For sides, we ordered the asparagus with xo mayonnaise, spring onion vinaigrette and crunchy garlic and the miso glazed carrots with peanut, garlic crunch and mint. We took one bite and agreed it was the best carrot and the best asparagus we had ever eaten. I know I sound hyperbolic, but I can't talk to up enough. It was a perfect meal.

we heard this was a "hidden gem". It was everything we were told. Great over the top service. Our experience was definitely enhanced by our waiter Kevin. Food was top notch. Drinks were right on. Staff made us feel at home. Can't wait to make this spot a regular stop on our best steak house in San Diego list.

Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, almost creepy with what they knew about me before I set foot in the place! 🤣 But that's the attention to detail, and the comfort level they strive to create. We were treated like royalty. Now to this menu.....you WILL SPEND $$$, but it is SOOOOO worth it. Steaks ( Cedar River Prime Bullseye Ribeye was my choice) are top notch (world class in my opinion), the brocollini is oh, so sexy and delicious, the fall-out-the-shell-so-you-don't-have-to-fight lobster tail, the magnificent Parker House rolls laced in truffle butter, the incredible Old Fashioned cocktail with a perfectly sized cube of bacon fat which they sear for you on the rim.......this is a destination restaurant for CERTAIN on my next visit! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
I live in the same neighborhood as this Rare Society for about four years and I have never gone in until last week on my 13th year anniversary. We just walked in no reservation, ga seat at the bar and it was a happy hour. That right there gave me a smile on my face. Once the food came out. What an incredible experience. We asked our server for his suggestions, although we wanted different things we took his suggestions and could not have been more pleased. The flavors on every single thing were absolutely spot on.. this place truly blew my mind and I even told the bartender how dare they make everything so good because now you have a regular customer in me! Prices are very high but the experience and the flavors made it all worth it!

Everything was great! We started with the parker house rolls. We ordered the associate board and au gratin potatoes. Ended with the butter cake, and a complimentary glass of bubbles for our anniversary. All of it was phenomenal.

It's okay, not the best not the worst. I didn't feel like I got my money's worth overall in the food and vibe. Staff was on point 100%
