Reviews for Rare Society in San Diego, CA
Love is a strong word — but clearly articulates how we feel about this place. Steaks (all of them) are dynamite. Don’t be a... fool and order the sampler thing — order individual steak, you’ll want more. Mushrooms were the best thing I’ve everhad. Go. Read more
Celebrated Father’s Day with Caesar salads and the bacon (thick, tender pork belly drizzled in delicious sauce)for... starters. We then shared ‘’The Associate” (wagyu meat board) and added the 16 oz ribeye as our server suggested. Each cutof meat was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Most definitely some of the best steak I’ve tasted and will be back formore! For sides we had the creamed spinach and ravioli. Both of which were delicious. To top off such a wonderful meal, weshared the butter cake, which was so warm, moist, and decadent! Read more
The food here is delicious! I'd definitely recommend going with a group so you can sample as many menu items as... possible. Highlight for me include the parker house rolls, beef tartare, and both the sampler boards. Also make sure to get apork chop!! Read more
A wonderful discovery last week that I have been thinking about all week. Rare Society's happy hour might be my new favorite... spot in town with an incredible bistro burger that has to be experienced again. The daiquiris are also incredible, and make fora perfect summer afternoon. Read more
Such an amazing dinning experience! Steak tartare was delicious and The Associate was probably enough to feed three people.... First glance at the menu, I thought the Rare Old Fashioned was a bit pricey, but after enjoying one, it was well worth themoney. Read more
Thurs 5pm: Absolutely phenomenal service and food. We decided to go with a few of the appetizers. We got the bread, bacon and ... the tartar. Then we decided to go with the associate great choice as a recommendation by our server. We also ordered the brusselsprouts, the potatos, the raviolis and finally the mushrooms. The one thing that I really want to say is that our waiter was sodarn attentive. He was very knowledgeable in everything that he served (passionate even), we almost ordered dessert (and now I'mkicking myself I didn't get the butter cake) because he was so fantastic. But frankly we were so stuffed we took so much foodhome. We way over did it. My favorite drink for the night was called "tiki" I believe. Killer flavor! I've dined at Anime,Born and Raised Cowboy Star, Stake and Stk. All of those are comparable to what we had tonight but what I really love is thatthey served that sampler tray, (called the associates) and that's one of my favorite things... A sample of everything. One thingwas that I couldn't believe how much meat it came with (20+ oz) .....we took home so much.. The wagyu was absolutely delicious.My hubby loved the filet the most. (And me the wagu). But what I really enjoyed is that they gave you their (3) popular sauceswith it. They don't play the up charge game like almost every single other place does. I'm not a huge fan of the sauces, I'mall about the salt and frankly what really surprised me is that they salted it perfectly for my taste, and I was not longing formore.. Read more
The food was delicious and the service was awesome! I only give a 4 bc the vibe in here is weird. For an expensive steakhouse it... doesn’t give a steakhouse vibe at all. Needs some updated decor, darker lighting, different music. My family and I almost leftbecause of it but we’re so glad we stayed because it ended up being amazing! Read more
9/17/22: so for steak, this is it in San Diego. Choose from sirloin's, pork chops, swordfish. There are some appetizers to... choose from. Sides like mashed potato, mushroom, etc. Add one of their sauces to the protein. I had pork chops with the buttersauce and the sautéed mushroom side. The meats here are very zesty. Pretty much follow their recommendations, they have it downpat. it was the best pork chop I ever had, 10/10. Highly recommend! Note: there is a 4% living wage surcharge. Read more
