Rare 3001

We went there for my birthday dinner. The waitress Cassandra was so vibrant, fun, and accommodating. Our food was literally cooked to perfection. We will definitely be enjoying dinner there again.

5 PM reservations to beat the rush, belated birthday dinner. Small place, maybe 6 tables in the eating area unless there was another area we did not see. The bar was hopping! Small as well, a couple of standing tables, rest was 2-3 deep at the bar. It was Negroni night, free samples and $10 cocktails. Tried a couple of the flavors, but Campari is not for me. As for dinner, the excellent server (Chris) provided multiple choices of water. Hubby liked the house wine which was Alex Valley Vine according to the bill (also named Monroes Restaurant at the top of the bill). Three warm rolls arrived. We both had the Lobster Bisque which came with sherry on top. Best we have had in a long, long time! Hubby had the Filet (perfect) with Truffle butter and Truffle fries (never enough truffles I guess!). I had the Seafood Tagliatelle, asking for the chef to make it spicy. Great flavor and large scallops, shrimp and lobster. We enjoyed everything very much except maybe the fries as they were more like huge potato wedges, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Hubby used some truffle butter on what he ate as he said the inside did not have much taste. Pricey, so review online information before going. Chairs were firm but very comfortable.

We came in for martinis, oysters, and dinner. The home made jalapeño cheddar sourdough with the honey butter was insanely good. Everything we ordered was incredible!! Thank you for great service, Alanna & Tommy! :) :)

Rare 3001 exceeded my expectations! The ribeye was absolutely phenomenal—one of the best I’ve had in Rochester, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The service was just as impressive; our server Cassandra had a fantastic personality and was incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The overall experience was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Stopped in after a work networking event that was down the road. A small group of us were still hung and someone suggested Rare 3001. So glad they did. The service was great, the drinks divine, and the food delicious. Especially the lobster bisque. We ordered the bisque, lobster Mac n cheese, shrimp, and broccolini. All was a hit with the group. All bartenders we worked with were beyond friendly.

If you want to spend over $300 on a meal for 2 and throw up all night with diarrhea then this is the place for you. My wife said her steak had a funny taste to it but with the mountain of salt that was on it couldn’t really tell if the meat was bad or not. Paid the price hours later for not sending the meal back. Will never go back there.

Our dining experience at Rare 3001 was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was elegant yet inviting, setting the tone for a memorable evening. Our server, Chris’s, attentiveness and thoughtful menu recommendations truly elevated the night, guiding us toward some of great dishes. The food was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with care. The only minor critiques were the portion sizes, which were a bit large for a fine dining setting, and the cocktail being slightly stronger than expected—though still delicious! Despite these small points, the overall experience was fantastic, with every detail contributing to a delightful meal. We look forward to returning!
