Rare SteakhouseA-Worth Trying
1 Broadway, Everett, MA 02149
· Steak house, Fine dining restaurant
· 4.7/5 Google (2087 reviews)
Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating
High-end casino steakhouse delivering excellent steaks and polished ambiance, with premium pricing and occasionally inconsistent service; best for special occasions if you value top cuts and glam over perfect consistency.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Rare Steakhouse delivers exceptional steak quality and outstanding setting appeal within an upscale resort environment, positioning it competitively with the area's better fine-dining establishments. However, inconsistent execution on doneness and timing, combined with variable service pacing during peak hours, prevents grade A territory. The restaurant excels at special occasions and core steaks but shows occasional lapses that keep it solidly in A-grade range.
Restaurant Summary
Inside Encore, Rare feels elegant and celebratory with polished service touches and big-night energy. Guests praise steaks and desserts, and one diner noted, "service made the night feel special." Some report slow pacing or uneven check-ins during peaks, but most describe a beautiful room suited to milestones. The kitchen leans elevated traditional steakhouse: prime cuts, raw bar, and classic sides with refined desserts. The culinary approach is produce and protein-driven rather than experimental, suiting diners who value top ingredients, careful cooking, and resort polish over flash. Seafood towers and crudo broaden options, though a few seafood items drew freshness critiques; order core steaks for the surest win. Families can make it work, especially with older kids who enjoy simple steaks, fries, and mashed potatoes. There is no explicit kids menu mentioned, portions are premium-priced, and the vibe is grown-up and festive. If your child favors plain foods, sides like potato purée and fries are safe choices, but adventurous seafood or high-spice dishes are limited.
