Rare Grill House

Food was great! Restaurant is quaint, perfect for a date night. Food took a little on the long side to arrive and it was a bit pricy, but it was very tasty and I would definitely go back again. We really enjoyed our night out at Rare. More...

Our meals were great, although the Wagyu ribeye was rather pricey: the server might point out that a premium cut comes at a premium price. The service was excellent - very attentive and accommodating without being intrusive. Unfortunately, the noise level was intolerable: there was a very loud Christmas party taking place at a long table next to us, and we could hardly hear ourselves think, much less have a conversation. Still, the overall experience was not unpleasant, and it would be nice to have a meal at Rare when the establishment is quieter and less crowded. More...

The food here is always amazing. The menu is interesting and varied, but I always end up eating the special of the day. The meals are locally sourced, creative and always good sized portions. I would love to have enough space for dessert one day as I am sure that would be delicious too. More...

Overall an excellent experience; and once the planned update happens, it will be outstanding.

The service was perfect and much of our dinner was delicious. The only disappointments were the garlic mashed potatoes, which were soggy, and the double baked potato, which was overdone so the shell was inedible. Otherwise, a fine meal.

It was a wonderful meal. The wine that you can’t buy at the LCBO was incredible. The salad and steak was cooked to perfect. It was a great night.

Please do not decide for yourselves how much tip you deserve. You may also want to tell people that your 'special' is a 1/2" thick piece of grisseled meat that you intent to charge double the price of your regular menu meals. Was not impressed.

Best restaurant and steaks in Peterborough, bar none

Amazing! The staff made the evening very special for our 12 year old great nephew.

The salad had many ingredients and the special lettuce, as a consequence, seemed a bit wilted. It was probably overdone with items. The trout was good but not excellent. I know that this is primarily a beef and pork restaurant so that might have been the issue. More...

Best cut of steak I’ve had in years, cooked to perfection. Nice side dishes and dessert as well. Air conditioning was set a bit too cold.

We had a very nice dinner for our anniversary. We were able to order a custom cut steak (a larger cut than the special offered) and were very pleased, the staff were so accommodating.

Rare is our favourite restaurant. Every time we dine there we receive excellent service and eat the most amazing meal! I always get the same thing every time but always try the app or new side because the chef is a genius and comes up with delicious and creative recipes. We dream about our dinner for like a week after we eat there ☺️ More...
