    Our family enjoyed brunch at Medium Rare. The service was very attentive and several members of the staff checked on us throughout the meal. The food was perfectly prepared and the French toast was particularly delicious, light and fluffy.

    Great experience from start to finish. Host was very accommodating and understanding of us arriving a few minutes late to our reservation. Our server was very friendly and attentive and offered great suggestions. Everyone that came to our table was very courteous and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious with just the right portion size. This place never disappoints , will definitely be retuning soon.

    This is a no frills, casual dining experience that is very much worth your money. For dinner, they offer a prix fixe menu, which comes with sourdough bread, salad, and steak frites. Our waiter was Bryan, and he did a phenomenal job. He was very attentive and polite during our meal. The restaurant is clean, bright and spacious. It is at a good location, and there is plenty of free parking in the garage across the street. Would definitely recommend this establishment as the food and service were great.

    Server Brian was great! Ordered my steak medium but it was definitely medium rare. Salad dressing was bland but desserts were fabulous!

    First time dining at the Columbia location. Very easy to get to and plenty parking available. The drinks were absolutely delicious. And the steak and fries with the secret sauce, definitely worth the taste. We also ordered the mushrooms which also was a hit. The only downside was that it was a bit warm inside but tolerable. Our server, Luis was 5 ⭐️.

    We love Medium Rare. Unfortunately, we sat for several minutes (almost 10min) before someone came and even offered us water. Once they settled on who our waiter was, our experience became delightful.
