Medium Rare

"We had a nice time here at Medium Rare. We came relatively early, after work and had a good time with the service and it wasn’t too loud or full. Our service was really attentive and fast. We got one steak and one veggie version. Both came with second portions which actually with all the food fills you up just right. The salad was nicely dressed and actually had flavor. The mushroom had a nice char to it and the pepper sauce was delicious. For the price, I would think the steak and mushrooms aren’t the same cost given meat an veg aren’t the same price but I think I see it as it’s very affordable for steak so it evens out but that’s the only thing I’d say would give me pause. But not every steakhouse offers refills and veg options so I would still return. Liked the prickly pear sangria, but too sweet for me to repurchase (personal preference) but the Bordeaux was pretty nice and a hefty pour. Overall, would return."

"Absolutely delicious steak! Everything was wonderful and service was great! The steak melts in your mouth! Salad and bread were delicious! Drinks were sooo good! Hopefully next time I’ll save room for dessert! My new favorite restaurant!"

"We had a grand time dining at Medium Rare, but it might not be for everyone. The meal is absolutely delicious, but there is only one choice. You get a dressed salad of mixed greens with a few grape tomatoes, a thinly sliced steak (you can choose rare to well done) topped with some amazing sauce, and a pile of steak frites. That's it! No chicken, no fish, no vegetarian options. Now, the five people in my party ate with gusto, and we were delighted to accept the practically obligatory second helping of steak and potatoes (servers will happily bring a takeout box for what you can't eat). There are plenty of choices of beverage, including bottled waters, wines, beers, and some exotic cocktails. I had a scrumptious Blackberry Sangria, and my mother raved about her Pineapple Margarita. Servers are very attentive about refilling water glasses, bringing second helpings, and clearing away empty plates. There were five dessert options, and my party quickly dispatched our Key Lime Pie (with sweet little candy pearls for garnish), decadent Six Layer Carrot Cake, and Double Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake. We got a table for five without any trouble at around 5:00 on a Saturday, but the place filled up quickly around us. Reservations are recommended. And don't forget to check out the restroom, where your ablutions may be accompanied by a somewhat suggestive French lesson piped in through the speakers - I was cracking up. This was a perfect way to end a visit to Arlington National Cemetery."

"It was my first time at medium rare and I was impressed! I booked my reservation online ahead of time to celebrate a birthday. Once I walked in the host warmly welcomed me and asked if I wanted anything specific and they were more than happy to accomodate my request. Al the food to include the bread and salad before the main meal was delicious! At first I thought that the main entree wasn't enough but they came back with more! I would absolutely go back for their delicious steak smothered in their amazing sauce!"

"Medium Rare is a chain of two servings of picanha (thigh cut) beef and fries with gravy. The gravy helped make it. The salad is also nice. The bread is fresh hot back and good. But don’t get the nine dollar portobello. It comes out as a sliced filet and is ridiculous for that price. Atmosphere is strangely like a wedding where you don’t know anyone. Tables are too closely packed together. Staff are attentive and check on you a lot. But the staff re-filling your plate does not ask. They re-fill the trough. It is kind of funny. The ice cream is really good. It’s from a vendor called Jubilee. The apple pie had too much cinnamon. The staff took our feedback well. Beers are reasonably priced. And they have milk! #steak #mediumrare"
