    You're not going to find a better place to party outdoors in Chelsea. Anytime for anything, go to Rare for an awesome view, great burgers and some of the best spicy guacamole in the city. Read more

    absolutely love that it has a great rooftop, kinda hidden gem of the city and I love the food while pricey it makes for a great date night. Plus great rock classics play here in the background!

    I had the special with Foie gras and Brussels sprouts and it was the best burger I ever ate. If I ever come to NY with friends, this is definitely the place I would take them for dinner.

    I love their burgers. They're pricey, but they are absolutely delicious. They use top quality meat, have delicious fries and dipping sauces, and are generally a fine establishment.

    Fantastic food! Went for the Ribs with Sweet potato fries! Absolutely mouthwatering. Rooftop bar is great, check it out. Customer service was top notch.

    Favorites include the T-bone burger, a blend of strip and sirloin steak flambéed with tequila and topped with truffle aioli. Or try the ribeye sandwich. But whatever you order, prepare to spend a lot. Read more

    I have the Mexican burger which was really delicious. And I shared the truffle fries and the onions rings which were to die for and the dipping sauces were very complimenting. Would go back 😀.

    Amazing food at the restaurant and very trendy! You have to try the T-Bone Hamburguer, its delicious! The rooftop is simply awesome, amazing drinks, great music and beautiful views of the city!

    The burgers are obviously the main attraction at this restaurant, and by far one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend the Jameson Burger, with the shoot of Jameson. Killer combination!

    The waitstaff is beyond nice at the bar. Rachel is my favorite. (Her parents raised her right!) Also, try the Rare Fashion. Epic beverage choice.

    Hit the rooftop, and try a fried pickle with your bourbon-glazed burger. Toppings are endless--but we recommend caramelized crush walnuts and bleu cheese. And don't forget the truffle-butter steaks.

    Wow what great service we got from Sarah at the upstairs bar. So friendly and accommodating. Rare is lucky to have her on their staff!!

    Artiseanal burger is the bomb! A lot going on (burger, sausage added on top) but it all works together. Onion rings were a different surprise as well.

    Beer list is short but has some excellent entries. Steak was an excellent cut, well prepared. Price was very good considering Manhatten.

    Turkey burger was homemade and delicious. A bit pricy but worth it. Restaurant has nice decor and rest room clean.

    The "Paris Swing" martini is a blend of vodka, grapefruit, jalapeño and cilantro. At $14 it's on the spendy side but it's worth it.

    The Rooftop here is ridiculous! Def a Must See! Year Round. Boasts some of the Best Views in the city! Stay away from the Strawberry Margarita, DEF get the M&M Burger!

    Rare tbone burger! It's like going to a farm, finding a cow, wrapping it in bacon & cheese, dousing it with tequila, setting it on fire, and ripping flesh from bone. With a side of onion rings.

    For dessert: Deep fried Oreos, with a side of vanilla & strawberry ice cream. Trust me, you'll have room for it.

    The food is great and the prices are reasonable but keep in mind that this is NOT a sports. Don't expect to catch the game here.

    If you're getting fries, go with cottage. the "handcut" ones are like shoestring fries.

    Unfortunately, a private party was going on while we were there. Needless to say, staff members were VERY rude towards outsiders. A great view is all they have going for them..

    Deep Fried Oreos with Vanilla Ice cream. Every time I swallow, I experience separation anxiety from the goodness no longer in my mouth.
