Rare Society at the Uncommons is such a gorgeous new addition to the area. Located right on the corner of Maule Ave and Helen Toland St., this modern steakhouse makes a stunning first impression. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a dramatic chandelier and a fabulous bar that feels both glamorous and inviting.
The main dining room is spacious and beautifully done, an open concept with views straight into the bustling kitchen and a striking display of aged steaks along the walls. The mix of tables and cozy booths, warm wood accents, and earthy tones makes the whole space feel elevated yet comfortable. There’s beautiful wall art throughout, a golden recessed ceiling that pulls your eye toward the back, and an art-deco inspired mirrored ceiling on the other side. Even the hallway to the bathrooms is stylish thanks to the wine cellar framed by a gold studded doorway, it’s a whole moment.
Service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We started with the Parker House Rolls served with truffle butter and herbs, and they were unreal, soft, warm, and full of flavor. For cocktails, we tried the Wrapping Party Spritz with prosecco, cranberry, grapefruit, and elderflower. Light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced.
For mains, we ordered the Iceberg Wedge Salad with grape tomatoes, red onion, aged balsamic, and Danish blue cheese. I skipped the bacon, and it was still fantastic, crisp and flavorful. We also tried the Wood Grilled Whole Maine Lobster with garlic, parsley butter and breadcrumbs, the King Salmon with salsa verde and pickled kohlrabi, and a Filet Mignon. Every dish was spot on. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the filet was beautifully cooked.
For sides, we had the broccolini and mashed potatoes. Both were great, but the broccolini absolutely stole the show, charred and served with a lemon yogurt sauce that was incredible.
We ended the night with the Brookie Tart topped with chocolate ice cream and cookie crunch, and wow… just wow. Truly outstanding.
Rare Society is absolutely a place we’ll be returning to. Chic ambiance, amazing service, and outstanding food, such a fantastic addition to the dining scene at the Uncommons.
