Rare Downtown (King St)

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the rare steakhouse downtown. The oysters were succulent and very tasty, especially the natural ones. Great selection of wine and the Wagyu rump was one of the best steaks I have tasted. Ended the evening with a flight of whisky and cheese board and oh what a cheese board. First time ever I've sent crackers back because there were more than the cheese. Hate restaurants that put half a dozen cracker biscuits on a cheese platter. I'll definitely be returning when in Melbourne next and looking for a great steak. Well done to the staff and management.

Lovely waiting staff who were very attentive, everyone was smiling and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Food was a high standard and the selection was good. They even had a vegetarian and vegan option which is very considerate for a steak place. We will be coming again.

Great waitress, made the night go from good to great. Food was good and well priced, good wine selection and the sticky toffee pudding was epic. All in all a great experience.

I order rib eye fillet tender grill in a smoky flavour. The arachini is interesting with pesto. However the decorating lamp need to clean up or revamp or else it will collect unnecessary dust

My favourite restaurant in Melbourne. If you like Oysters, Mushrooms, Ribs, Steaks, Chips, Beers and Wine, in an awesome setting and friendly staff, this place is for you.

Service, experience and food always second to none! Can be a little loud during peak times, however, they're always accommodating to customer needs and requirements. Thanks again and keep up the great customer service!

The restaurant was crowded and very loud. The staff overall friendly. The food not bad, but for the price not good and warm enough. The food we ordered was wrong or even got forgotten, so we had to remember the staff several times. We expected more!

Good service and the quality of the food served (steak particular) was pretty good. Pricing decent, but would be better if portions were slightly bigger. Central location means it’s a good place for business lunches or dinners.

Rare King St has been my go to for many years when dining with partners, friends, family etc. It is generally fantastic however the last 2 dining experiences havent been great. Service etc on point as always, but i feel the meat quality has dropped... I also think maybe the chefs have changed as in the past the style (med) has been more on the rare/med side. Next time i go, i will need to make my own enquiries with the wait staff

Excellent food great wine great atmosphere great night we are from the country so it was excellent

The steak were very much overcooked for all 5 of us. Really unexpected from a steak house. Also, the steak were close to tasteless.

Always provides consistent high quality steaks and wine.
