We loved the Eggplant fritters. They were so delicious. The pizza with pepperoni and pickles jalapeños is always good. Paired the eggplant fritters with the kale salad and I was amazed.

Genevieve is 5 stars and made the evening! As usual, she knows exactly what we like to eat and drink. Her attention to detail is amazing and her knowledge of wine and food is something I’ve never seen before. She is extremely attentive to us and continually elevates the experience. I highly recommend requesting her on Open Table if you go to Rare. We have never been disappointed and will be back without a doubt.
