The pressures of life are uplifted when we celebrate small moments, and can add up when we have big ones. Celebrated my anniversary here, and I couldn't ask for a better staff, atmosphere, and delicious food. The GM came out and wished us a happy anniversary (thank you) and even sent some extra bread home ( we loved the bread). Thank you for making it special, we will be back!

The food is super delicious, the meat ufff, an authentic touch

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.

I dined at Rare650 on January 20, 2026, to celebrate my birthday with my wife—overall a mixed experience (3/5). The ambiance was fantastic (5/5): 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 (food: 3/5 overall, but apps excellent). 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 (4/5), main waitress attentive, but could've been more proactive on a high-ticket item. Value (3/5): 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.

We stopped in without reservations and were unable to get a bar seat, so I decided to ask Heidi the hostess, she was so kind to accommodate us although there was no seating availability. Heidi went above and beyond and accommodated us with a table. Dinner was amazing overall lovely
Experience! Great meal, cocktails and overall experience!

Rare 650 is outstanding. Incredible steaks cooked to perfection, delicious sides, and top-notch service. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, and everything from the food to the drinks is done right. A must-visit steakhouse—highly recommend. 🥩🔥

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.

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.

I could not have asked for a better experience aside from the food and drink being phenomenal. It is my server, Michael, who made all of the difference. He was extremely kind, attentive, and passionate about his work. This is a man who is not merely a server. He wants to elevate your evening, and I hope his boss reads this review and considers a higher hourly rate for such a wonderful server as I have high standards.

Attended for NYE dinner. Michele and Nor were excellent servers and very attentive. The prefix dinner was delicious and the menu allowed for a large variety. The cocktails were just ok. 4 stars bc they were out of each wine we ordered, hence us switching to cocktails.

Mark Levant

It was a quite nice experience. Good atmosphere and good service.
Wasn't a fan of the skirt steak it was very bland nothing special about it.
Also the cocktails were not great in a sense that they were poorly balanced.
Also just a personal thing I am not a fan of valet parking especially if there is a lot.
