Madison's RARE Steakhouse Offers a Premier Dining Experience
Created by Wisconsin natives for Wisconsin diners, RARE features USDA Prime steaks aged in-house, certified sommeliers to guide guests in choosing from a selection of more than 750 wines and truly remarkable service.
With additional locations in Milwaukee, and Washington, D.C., RARE Steakhouse quickly established itself as one of the premier dining experiences right on Madison’s Capitol Square. The restaurant boasts a classic and cozy atmosphere, complete with private dining rooms and space equipped with technology for meeting and conference capabilities. Inspired by the old nostalgic romance of great American steakhouses, the restaurant’s founders took the best elements of steakhouses across the nation and added in a local flare to create the RARE Steakhouse experience.
RARE Steakhouse strives to bring the nostalgia and romance of the classic steakhouse to life, to a time when eating out was meant to be an experience. We look forward to serving you and your guests.

"After a recent visit to the new steakhouse, I can say that the service is indeed elegant and uncommon. And it certainly makes for a memorable dining experience — that is, if you are comfortable being fussed over. The spectacular service is [also] matched by an exquisite dining room."
- Samara Kalk Derby, Wisconsin State Journal
