   I was so excited to go have a girls brunch here. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The mimosas barely had any champagne in them. At no point did I feel like I had alcohol. Next, the food portion was very small. For it to be an entree, it was a serving for an appetizer. Of course for the meat I tried my steak as medium rare, it lacked flavor. I also had a poached egg and it was cooked like a boiled egg smh. The service was good,but the food sucked. The environment was ok, nothing special.

   I had eaten at the Medium Rare Arlington location a couple of years ago when visiting the area. I wanted my carnivorous husband and son get to enjoy the experience. For this trip, we had dinner at the Cleveland location. The two locations have a very different ambience, but both have consistency with service and food. The Medium Rare in Cleveland is conveniently located right off the Metro station. Parking in the area is a bit of a challenge. There is a parking lot across from the restaurant that starts at $20. The service at Medium Rare is efficient, friendly and engaging. Upon arrival, our waiters brought us water. After that, everything flowed smoothly. The fixed menu includes artisanal bread, salad, fries, and steak. The food is flavorful and essentially all you can eat. My husband and son were able to eat 2 plates full! This cost is pricey, but it's definitely an experience worth trying at least once.

   The meat is great. They get the temperature exactly right. And the sauce is amazing!

   Great food. Great service. Great value. We love going to Medium Rare and actually celebrated our wedding anniversary this time around. The staff was super. I love the sauce.

   Medium Rare was the secret sauce to the perfect Mother’s Day! Play by play: After a full day exploring the Smithsonian Zoo, we took a quick 10-minute stroll to Medium Rare in the Cleveland Park area. The menu is delightfully simple — a fixed offering of salad, fries, and steak drenched in their signature light, gravy-style sauce. And trust me, that sauce? Worth every bite. We opted to sit outside, where the ambiance was chill and undisturbed by passerby traffic. The kids kept entertained by drawing on the table settings, and the wine and daily drink specials kept the adults more than content. The best part? We were pleasantly surprised with an extra serving — a little bonus that sealed the deal on a perfect day. Whether it’s a special occasion or just because, Medium Rare is a solid go-to for great food, great vibes, and a little extra something.

   I rarely eat steak and planned this dinner mostly for my husband’s preferences. It was so delicious, from the bread to the steak. I would recommend Medium Rare to everyone!

    The staff was very accommodating and very friendly. The steak was so tender and delicious and love the sauce. Don’t miss out on the Carrot Cake. So good.
