We had high expectations when we entered the restaurant because the loft like setting was very interesting. Unfortunately the service was horrible. We waited for over an hour, and finally had to ask for our salads. The meal took even longer. The beef was very good but the vegetables were cold. The manager acknowledged the service issue and comped us... More

TERRIBLE, we had to send the first steak back because it was raw, then the next steak was inetable, it was also sent back. So dissapointed as this place was recommended to us for good steak. They blamed their supplier but were still serving everyone this steak when we left. More

The service was efficient and helpful though several different waiters served us during our visit. The food was cooked how ordered and was well presented.... More

I was traveling on business and staying around the corner at the Intercontinental. I asked for a good steak restaurant to take 5 of my staff to for a fine dining evening. The head concierge recommended the Rare Steakhouse and it is rare I will ever take clients here again. After receiving terrible service from a waitress with tattoos showing... More

This was our favourite restaurant when visiting Melbourne. The decor and service was lovely without being over the top. Each of the waitresses were lovely. The food was AMAZING. we could not fault it on both occasions we dined here. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides tasted great. You didn't need any sauces because the flavour of... More

By far the best steak house in Melbourne. Awsome location, nice big space, large tables, brilliant wine and just quite simply the best steak cooked to perfection. Its not cheap but its worth every penny......More of a treat than any of the other steakhouses in town! More
