Fodor's Expert Review Rare Steakhouse and Tavern

Rare is two restaurants in one: a casual street-level tavern that will appeal to most diners and an upstairs high-end steak house. The Tavern is most accessible, with a large bar decorated with colorful murals, perfect if you are meeting friends for happy hour, and its menu takes pub grub to another level. You'll find the requisite burgers and salads, but the menu includes wonderfully dry-aged steaks, seafood, and even a good plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Upstairs in the steak house is a more opulent atmosphere, tableside salad service, prime steaks, and hefty prices.
