We visited this venue last night and here is what I thought....
Cons: Red Wine Jus was bland and lacked flavor
Pros: Meat cooked to perfection, mash was smooth, wine was delicious!!!, staff were friendly, atmosphere was inviting, olives were delicious and of a great portion, but the BEST PART was our Bloody Mary oysters. Oh, My, God - they were amazing!!!!
Good steak and decent wine list. Has been a long standing go to. Reasonable value; good personable service. Decor could do with an update upstairs.
Best restaurant in Melbourne! … ordered a lamb cutlet for Entrée and two medium and medium rare porterhouse steaks … the delivery was exceptional and the staff was professionally performed! … this was one of the best experiences my partner and I had in years!
I went there for the steak and a work meeting... it delivered flawless, quality produce grilled perfectly... sides an excellent match. Decent wine list, unobtrusive but attentive service. Nuff said.
I ordered steak that medium...
But, I got well done one....
Except that thing ok.
Service. Clean . Good interior...
Bit, annoyed the water and waitress come to too many time to asked that everything ok....
That too much..
What an amazing place! Best steak place I have been too, fantastic food great service. The waitress that took. Are of our table was so lovely and cheerful. We had a birthday girl and the kitchen helped put together candles & a happy birthday message. So great full for that night. Thank you definitely will be back .
Came to Rare Steakhouse Downtown for Valentine’s Day and had a great experience!
We had the Valentine’s set course for the night including shared entree, main and dessert.
The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious.
To top everything off, the service was also 10/10 with very friendly and approachable staff.
Been here a few times now, steaks are always cooked to perfection & service is always on point, would definitely recommend this place to friends & family.
What a fabulous place! Surrounded by old blue stone bricks, polished wooden floor boards and cast iron finishes. The decor is immaculate in this place. If you love your meat like I do, you won’t be disappointed with the food, service or drinks here. Loved every minute we spent celebrating dads birthday. The lady was incredibly attentive and when mentioned it was Dad's special day they came out with a little plaque for him as well - attention to details and going the extra mile is what makes a family dinner transition to an amazing experience. I can think of a few people who I have to bring here. See you guys again soon!
+ Great service, delicious food, well poured drinks
- Ambiance (music) could be played to a bit more advantage of the space.
Layer on the sauce and roll out the beef, has very nice trimmings for a hearty night’s meal. The soft lighting and modern decor in this classy Aussie restaurant gives a fabulous casual feel. Great pork rib and steaks, cooked well for well down steak.
Posting on behalf of my partner as he is the meat eater. His 200 gram steak was very good, and he is very picky on steaks. As a vego, would be good to have more healthy vegetarian options but i get that it is a steak restaurant.
Only bread option was garlic bread available would have wanted just plain bread and butter option. The sauce and sides seemed pretty high in price - $5 per small sauce tub to add to $50 steak. The Greek salad was delicious!
The service was okay, waited a while for menu I had to ask for one. Ambiance was good, beautiful restaurant. Odd choice of music last night 😂🎶 techno, deep house vibes while eating a fancy steak anyone? 😅
I ate the 300 gram grass fed scotch fillet with chips and blue cheese sauce and the trio of sorbet for dessert. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender, the chips also cooked perfectly and very hot, the blue cheese sauce was very strong so I didn't use much. The trio of sorbet was very refreshing and great finish to the meal. The staff were friendly and efficient the service prompt and courteous. The food along with a Corona beer came to a total of $77.50, if you like a good steak give this place a try.
Lets start with food,
The quality of food is great. Everything were fresh. We ordered entrees for two ($40), which was good and tasty. Was a little bit expensive.
Our steak was perfectly cooked. However It needed more salt and paper. It was also a little bit sweet, which was weird for me and my partner.
The atmosphere was also okay.
Staff were friendly, polite and welcoming.
Its a 4.5 restaurant, however there is no 4.5 so I give 4. Its not 5stars because I expect more when u pay $$$.
One of the best steaks I've ever had. Ordered the tomahawk steak - it was cooked very well (was med-rare) and I loved the char on the steak. The pepper and creamy garlic sauces were delicious. We indulged and also had the tasting platter to start - calamari was very soft and fried well, mushroom tasted nice and the sausage was flavourful. Would definitely come back on another special occasion.
Such attentive service. Never have I had such an amazing sticky date pudding which arrived with hot butterscotch sauce and a pudding that was so indulgent and decadent. The steaks were quite tender and came with a choice of potato mash or chips.
Best service ever! I was served a medium steak even if I ordered rare, and they did everything to correct the situation. They were very apologetic and gave me the right steak. On top of that, they gave us complimentary dessert, which was so delicious! It was flourless chocolate cake, and it was the best one I've tasted.
Service staff is very gracious and attentive. Would return just for the service. Steak is also good! And the blue cheese sauce is amazing. Mashed potato could use more seasoning however
We were a party of 10. The staff were super friendly and very helpful, from front of house, to wait staff. The food was delicious, as usual; high quality, and served as requested. We had a lovely night and would very much recommend Rare Steakhouse Downtime if you are looking for a venue.
