Best Seafood Restaurants in Cross Plains

Leo was amazing! We were celebrating a birthday and he was attentive, kind and thorough. Leo's service and special attention to the occasion made our dinner memorable!

We chose the Chef's selection which changes weekly. Very well prepared, excellent flavors. Very good martini as well. Well worth a visit!

This is my third visit to this restaurant and this visit did not match our previous experiences. We had fantastic service, the drinks were great (raspberry sangria), the ambiance and service staff are wonderful. The s’mores dessert was really good.

Always a treat to return to Rare! Decided to treat the kid & his girlfriend for his birthday. The surrounding are best described as "early Scorsese" or dark lighting with burgundy leather banquet seating. Cool vibes. Waitstaff, mostly college age, all in formal attire. Classy. Y'know? Greeted warmly & professionally by our server, Ashton, who informed us about the foie gras special & took our drink orders. My shaken Hendricks martini with a twist was delivered shortly thereafter & scratched the itch! Ashton then took our order of sweet chili shrimp with lime, the foie gras special with roasted apple, Caesar salad, bone in ribeye, New York strip, brussel sprouts and creamed spinach. The ribeye was cooked perfectly & tender. The NY strip was medium (mid rare was the target temp) and was swiftly refired and served. Shockingly fast too! Delicious. The sides were excellent as well. Somehow he had room for dessert. He ordered the bananas foster (made table side & always a fun show) & the espresso creme brûlée. Ashton kindly served a super smooth chocolate mouse cake square with graham crust topped with whipped cream and a candle. Nice. Just a lovely night all around. If you're craving steak & professional service in an old school setting...I suggest a reservation at Rare!

Excellent service and excellent food! Will return definitely!!!
