"Rare comes to Washington by way of Wisconsin (hence the delicious fried cheese curds on the tavern menu). The dual restaurant reads as a casual tavern downstairs and a formal dining room up top. Some of the choicest cuts include the Delmonico steak and dry-aged New York strip; there’s also a charcuterie bar downstairs. Pick-up options are available." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
