Rare Steakhouse Uptown

Service was friendly and professional.
They recommend good/matching drinks with our desserts 👍

Everything we ordered was fantastic!

COFFIN BAY OYSTERS
Taste fresh, plump texture; really really enjoyed that.

EYE FILLET
Ordered rare, very tender with excellent texture. Taste was superb.
The Danish Blue Cheese sauce elevate the whole experience.

WARM STICKY DATE PUDDING
Nothing beats this for warmth and comfort.
Add a port (Galway Pipe) on the side and you're all set.

Perfect place for family and friends outing! Great service and the food and drinks were awesome!
It was our first try for kangaroo fillet and surprisingly it tasted so good!

Nice and cozy ambience, delicious steak with good price. Staff are good and friendly. Recommended 👌

You can expect friendly service from excellent staff, and eat delicious steaks and dishes at a reasonable price.
Additionally, the interior of the restaurant is neat and well organized.

1st time attending and food was excellent. Starters of garlic bread and salt and pepper calamari were a good way to start of the meal. Then the 350g scotch fillet was beautiful so succulent and tender and the grilled chicken breast was superb also. Dessert was crème brûlée and a mango and coconut pan a cotta. A nice bottle of red wine helped compliment the proceedings.
Staff were attentive and polite and helpful.
Reasonably priced and great food so definitely recommend a trip there

It was our first time visiting, 4 of us loved it. We couldn’t fault the beef ribs and the steaks were cooked to perfection.
Desert was also very tasty and the sticky date pudding was such a big and generous serving.

With three location in the CBD, you’ll have all your steak needs covered whether you’re uptown, midtown or downtown!

We tried:
🐚 Pan Seared Scallops
🦑 Salt & Pepper Calamari
🥩 Eye Fillet Pasture Fee
🍖 Angus Beef Spare Ribs
🥗 Garden Salad
🍸 Cucumber Gimlet
🍷 Bloody Shiraz Sour

The scallop and chorizo entree was a delicious start and was served with creamy cauliflower puree that we liked so much we started dipping the calamari into it too! The calamari was lightly fried, crunchy and served with sweet chilli sauce to dip. The main event was obviously the steak, which was served medium rare with creamy mushroom sauce and crunchy chips! Flavour was great and texture was tender, all you need in a good steak. We loved the ribs, which were also incredibly tender and paired well with the mash and bbq sauce. They also do yummy cocktails - the cucumber gimlet was nice and fresh, while the bloody shiraz sour was citrusy and sweet. Service was a little slow, however overall, a lovely spot for steak night!

WOW WOW WOW! My partner and I had been craving some ribs and found this place to be the best from other reviews and it was better than expected! All the staff were so attentive and nice and made the whole experience so seamless. Entrees were fresh and delicious and we could barely even speak to each other while eating the ribs they were that good! Chips were also the perfect crunch on the outside fluffy on the inside. I was tempted but just way too full from the mains to have dessert but I’m sure they would’ve been just as perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better night 🥰

Beautiful atmosphere with amazing food and service. Would highly recommend. Nestled in a little alleyway so typical to the Melbourne culinary scene, a perfect experience for anyone that loves a hearty and delicious meal with that special touch.

Amazing moment. The meat and the sauces were amazing, and the service as well. The waitress, Claire, was very nice.

So lovely to spend our anniversary and my birthday here. They really made us feel special and the food was amazing.

Great steakhouse located in a great location!

Came here because of the high reviews and was definitely not disappointed!

The steak was phenomenal and the mushrooms sauce was amazing! Chips with mushroom sauce were heavenly!

The atmosphere was great! Will definitely come back again!

Fantastic atmosphere and food. The waitstaff were perfectly pleasant and had a flair for being available at the right time. Good recommendations were made-I would encourage you to try the specialty baste with mash. The porterhouse was so good it didn't require sauce, but the baste paired perfectly with the eye fillet.
Recommended mousse was a delicious finish.

We didn’t have a booking on a Saturday night, we rocked up early and the staff were nice enough to squeeze us in! I’m glad they did because it was the best meal we’ve had in Melbourne! We had our two little ones with us, no kids menu but the staff were amazing & bringing our smaller cutlery for them. 100% recommend! Friendly service, delicious food and cocktails!

We visited Rare Steakhouse Uptown the moment we heard they were reopening for a steak date night.

On the night we had:
- entree plate tasting for 2
- eye fillet steak with chips and mushroom sauce on side
- Scotch fillet steak with chips and peppercorn sauce
- mocktail and cocktail

Loving the entree tasting plate, it’s great start when you’re indecisive like me. The calamari was soft and mushroom was tasty as well as the sausage.

The steak were perfectly cooked to my liking medium-rare. Together with the sauce serve on the side, soooo good. And I’m sure you love red wine, do pair it with your steak 🍷🥩

Definitely highly recommend this steakhouse to everyone!

One word, WOW! Food and service we couldn’t fault. Lovely atmosphere, we enjoyed a nice romantic dinner for 2. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, best scollops we have ever eaten, the oysters were delicious and the steak yum! Also have to say the best mash potato I have ever had. We will definitely be back!

Our experience at Rare was totally amazing..The mushroom entree left my mouth watering for more, the garlic bread was hot and buttery...yum. Our steaks were perfection on a plate. Desserts are incredible but the Tira misu was the winner.

A great choice of wine and cocktails to choose from.

I work in hospitality and the staff I would hire in a heart beat. So intentive and professional.

So glad I took my favourite humans there. We had a memorial night.

Came here for a friends birthday and was astounded by the experience. My eye fillet was cooked perfectly and tasted very good! Amber was very attentive to our needs, giving good recommendations and was great to have a chat and have a laugh with! Great option if looking for a quality steak option in Melbourne

Outstanding service and steak cooked to perfection.

Absolutely flawless experience. Food was sensational and took a very reasonable 15 minutes or so to come out which was great. (Irish?) Waitress and French lady behind the counter were positively lovely, always smiling and excellent & attentive service. Our waitress suggested Artiste cab sav 2017 with the steak and it was such a smooth pairing. Steak is just as delicious as rare downtown which was our usual place, but I actually enjoy the quieter atmosphere here much more! We could get in at short notice (walk-in) and the tables are spaced out well.

They're just missing the chocolate fondant cake on their specials board, it's literally my favourite dessert in all of Melbourne but it appears only downtown has it. Hope they adopt it at uptown as well soon 🤞
