Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A huge thank you to Cindy and the event team at Rare650. The staff was so kind, the appetizers were delicious (and served hot) and the sushi was outstanding! We threw a book launch party for "Financial Planning Made Personal" and it was huge success....The terrance is a beautiful location to host an event; we highly recommend it!More

All four of us had different choices for appetizers and dinner so lets get into it. Salads were tadry fresh and nice size that could be shared. Calamari was fried just right and fresh. sauce tangy with a bit of a kick. Mains fiket mignon...cooked to perfection melt in your mouth wonderful as was the chilean sea bass. The veal chop was cooked well and enormous. However i chose the 1 dish that i wouldnt recommend the 8 oz lobster tail. Dry and tasteless. Desserts and drinks were done well and our servers steve and charlie were very professional. Could have checked more w us at table but in general did a good job. We wpuld visit again and def recommend to others who dont mind spending the extra bucks for an outstanding dinner.More

Was pleasantly surprised last time I visited...wowed to return and I did yesterday. My bone in ribeye was perfectly cooked. My associate got the filet mignon on the bone which I had never seen before. We ended up finishing both our steaks. The sides of...brussel sprouts and asparagus were delicious as was the crab roll we had as appetizer. Highly recommend....drinks were generously portioned as well. The place has a hopping bar as well.More

We had our large rehearsal dinner at Rare650 this past weekend, and the food, setting, and service were exceptional. Cindy DiGangi, the Event Director, worked with us in the months and weeks prior to the event on the menu, logistics, and seating (in the private...room upstairs), and everything turned out fabulous. The food was fresh and delicious, and there were extensive choices (including sushi and veggies) to please everyone's preferences. We especially liked the dessert platters (with donuts, chocolate cake, and cheesecake), which enabled the sampling of multiple selections. We would definitely recommend Rare650 for a special occasion or dinner!More

It was so bad. Came here to celebrate our anniversary. It was never acknowledged. The service was beyond horrendous. The food was cold & bland. The meal was $300 for 2 people for a horrible experience. I’d never return.

My fiancé and I came for New Years Eve. We had an early reservation so we were sat in the back of the greenhouse by ourselves. Only negative was being right by the kitchen entrance so staff were constantly running in and out. Our waiters...were all very sweet and gave great suggestions. We had the special roll to start. Delicious. We both got steak with lobster to share. Steak was great. Cooked perfect. The African lobster isn’t as tasty as Maine lobster but it was good. We shared the asparagus. Fois gras butter was delicious. And for dessert we got their signature chocolate cake. Delicious.More

We had a 9pm reservation , we were not seated until 9:50 . The food was good except for the burger which was requested with no bacon . ( the order was taken to the back to just have the bacon pulled off .. you...could still see the marks ) , but the real issue was the wait . We are just leaving at 12:42 . It took forever to get appetizers , food , butter , check , bring back check . We left members of our party because they were charged the wrong amount to their cards . I had to go downstairs to ask for my waiter to get someone to correct our check . We were charged for things that were not ordered .More

We went there for our anniversary. We arrived and we were quickly seated with another table by mistake. The host thought we were part of a larger party. Then we were seated in the outside hallway. As I had made the reservation telling them that...this was our anniversary I thought that they would automatically give us a good table. I went up to the hostess and was told we could move but it would be about another half hour. As we already were there for a half hour I told them that this was unacceptable. The manager came up and immediately rectified the situation. Our waiter seemed to be overwhelmed with the workload and with good reason the restaurant was clearly understaffed. The food was good and our waitress was good. We were not overly pleased with our experience.More

We were pleased with our evening at Rare 650 especially in light of several reviews from folks who were unhappy with the service. We were seated within 15 minutes of our reservation but at a table that was out in the thoroughfare of the waitstaff....We felt like this was our plight because we were not one of the many regulars that were greeted at the desk. However, our table was changed and changed with no attitude. All good. The food was good with the soft shell crabs as an appetizer rating excellent as well as the comp'd donuts for desert for my brother's birthday also being excellent. The main courses, small sushi plate which was quite large, two red snapper dishes and a petite filet were also prepared nicely. The red snapper was good not great, The sushi was fresh but over-priced and the filet was excellent and perfectly cooked. Remember that you are paying NYC steak house prices at Rare 650 so the expectations are high. All in all a very nice night, nice atmosphere (the vibe is young and happening - we are Boomers) good food and excellent service including reliable and convenient valet parking. Likely to return.More

My wife and I went out to Rare650 for a nice dinner on Friday November 20th. Upon getting to the restaurant we were greeted by the hostess after she was done playing on her cell phone. After she finally put her phone down she asked...if we had a preference of seating inside or outside, which I thought was nice. We requested inside. We then were brought to our booth next to the bar. At first we didn’t realize we were sitting right next to the bar because there was a big pillar blocking the bar. We quickly realized though after seeing all the TVs around us, the loud music and extremely loud intoxicated patrons at the bar. We then ordered our food. My $70 steak came out over cooked. I didn’t realize my steak was over cooked until I put my two $16 dollar a piece sides on my plate and cut into my steak. The waiter was able to provide me with a new, right temperature steak. Before he took it he told me he would notify the manager and the manager would be over to talk to us. The manager never showed up and I got to watch my wife eat her dinner(before it got cold) as I waited patiently for my food to come back. When my steak did arrive back my sides were gone which I expected but then was never offered new sides. When the bill came out we were notified the third steak was on the bill but subtracted at the end. They were correct about this but at the bottom of the bill they give the suggested gratuity of 16,18 and 20% that included the third steak in the price. Different of $14 in tip for the 20%. Extremely unprofessional and I believe it’s a 50/50 chance people catch on to it. It’s a shame because the food was delicious but for a $300 dinner for two the service and professionalism was god awful. For a place you pay extra for service we were highly disappointed. It was our first time there and we would never go back. I would not suggest this place to anyone. Over priced and extremely unprofessional.More
