We loved this place. The bread was good, the steak was full of flavor with awesome sauce. We loved the fries and fresh salad. Great customer service and Ray was an awesome waiter, very attentive. Melissa was very welcoming and Shawn, the manger, took the time to meet us and others. Mari kept the steak and fries coming. We plan to try their brunch!

We had an amazing dinner here! We saw this spot on TikTok and decided to try it for our Dallas trip and it did not disappoint. You get so much food you will for sure leave in a food coma. Our waitress was so nice and the rest of the staff that catered to us was wonderful. Our cocktails were perfect and we had apple pie for dessert. 10/10 we will definitely come back when we’re in Dallas again.

First off the hostess was amazing, she helped us out even though we didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was super busy on a Saturday night. She communicated with us at least 5 times while we waited to be seated. Now onto the food. Although it wasn’t as good as the ones we visited in Paris, it was still delicious. Love the concept and support small businesses.

I decided after a concert that I would treat myself to a dinner And that’s when I decided to make reservations for Medium Rare. Upon arrival I was able to find easy parking. I was greeted by a nice gentleman who offered to take my picture and I late discovered he was the manager and he showed me to my seat and was so kind and humble and even told me about brunch so I definitely be back. My waitress was kind and explained to me the menu and process and made sure I had everything I needed. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was a nice mix. Lady the food the salad was simple and tasty, bread freshly baked and the real butter melted perfectly and last the star the steak frites both cooked perfect and the second serving even better. If in Dallas this spot is perfect for all occasions and the price point is refreshing.

This was our third visit to Medium Rare, and every single time has been amazing! The simplicity of their menu is what makes it so special—just perfectly cooked steak, crispy fries, and incredible sauce—but the quality is unmatched. We had Stephanie as our server, and she was fantastic, providing excellent customer service and making our experience even better. The entire staff always makes you feel welcome, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do. Not to mention, their desserts are absolutely delicious—the perfect way to end the meal! And their cocktails? Amazing! They’re well-crafted and complement the meal perfectly. I remember coming here when they had just opened and telling them I could see them getting busy soon. Sure enough, every time we come back, they’re thriving, and it’s well deserved. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! Highly recommend this spot for a consistently great meal, top-notch service, and amazing drinks.

Sad to report that the location I used to go to I n DC was much better service/food. It was okay, but that’s it. The fries had definitely been sitting out/were overcooked, which was surprising since it was so crowded. Would maybe give it one more try for brunch to see if atmosphere/food is improved.

Overall, it's all hype. Location is nice but parking is typical uptown parking..it's very limited. Walking in, it was nice ..there wasn't too many people for a Monday night. The staff did not explain how this "Unlimited" thing works. The bread was ok and slightly burnt but the butter does not spread well. The salad was ok.. The sauce is SALTY...it was almost better without the sauce . The fries were a little over fried. They did bring an extra round of the fries and steak again but again....over fried and salty? Meh.

The 80’s/90’s music playing throughout the ambiance of everyone relaxing, vibing, laughing and the price point for UNLIMITED alcohol and different choices of food is ASTOUNDING. And on top of that the management helps their team. Our server was super busy and the AGM Eric stepped in, took our order, chatted with us just so our server could catch up. We WILL BE BACK! 10/10 recommend!!!
