Leo was amazing! We were celebrating a birthday and he was attentive, kind and thorough. Leo's service and special attention to the occasion made our dinner memorable!

Excellent beef filet and shrimp! We had the best server and wonderful cocktails too! Highly recommend!

Fabulous meal in a really fun setting. Our server was delightful. Food was really over the top great and not just typical steakhouse fare. It what I would call cheap but I feel like we very much received what we paid for. The plating of the dishes was really well done as well. Very thoughtfully put together.

Always a treat to return to Rare! Decided to treat the kid & his girlfriend for his birthday. The surrounding are best described as "early Scorsese" or dark lighting with burgundy leather banquet seating. Cool vibes. Waitstaff, mostly college age, all in formal attire. Classy. Y'know? Greeted warmly & professionally by our server, Ashton, who informed us about the foie gras special & took our drink orders. My shaken Hendricks martini with a twist was delivered shortly thereafter & scratched the itch! Ashton then took our order of sweet chili shrimp with lime, the foie gras special with roasted apple, Caesar salad, bone in ribeye, New York strip, brussel sprouts and creamed spinach. The ribeye was cooked perfectly & tender. The NY strip was medium (mid rare was the target temp) and was swiftly refired and served. Shockingly fast too! Delicious. The sides were excellent as well. Somehow he had room for dessert. He ordered the bananas foster (made table side & always a fun show) & the espresso creme brûlée. Ashton kindly served a super smooth chocolate mouse cake square with graham crust topped with whipped cream and a candle. Nice. Just a lovely night all around. If you're craving steak & professional service in an old school setting...I suggest a reservation at Rare!

Four of us dined at 1878. It was unanimous that the food was fantastic. Chef Nic was SUPERB. Our server, Jasmine, was the BEST!!!! We will definitely return for more!!
