    Everything is excellent. They just need to lower music a little bit and play something more soothing (eg Soft Jazz, Bossa Nova), that constant loud drum beat can be annoying at times. No one likes that music they play. Other than that, everything was great. Reading worth it.

    Always great to go to Medium Rare. The staff is so friendly. It was buzzing and we had to wait for awhile even with a reservation. It’s the holidays and we just chilled. It was worth the wait

    Meat was excellent. Desert was amazing! Service was very good. Place is small and crowded. A lot of action, the staff is constantly running back and forth. Service is very good though. If it's your first time, you might feel you are getting a bit rushed, but that's not the case in fact. Highly recommend
