• Steakhouse • North Park
Booked 36 times today
Sink your teeth into Rare Society - a modern homage to the golden age of the American steakhouse. Chef and owner Brad Wise reimagines vintage upscale dining with a bold, contemporary edge: a wood-fired grill fueled by red oak, an in-house dry-aging program, sustainably sourced seafood, and a progressive cocktail menu that nods to the classics while pushing boundaries.The space hums with energy - smoke curling from the grill, the scent of fire and flavor wafting through the air. It’s easy to picture a Rat Pack-era dinner party in full swing: elegant, indulgent, just a little unruly. Rare Society doesn’t just pay tribute to steakhouse tradition - it revives it, reinvents it, and serves it with just a little bit of swagger.

    My wife and I were visiting from Washington state and Great Maple was highly recommended to us by a couple of friends. Wow no disappointments, we went on a Saturday night and thought the worst about crowds and parking. Not true, we had ample parking and the crowds weren’t there early! The service and the food were wonderful the drinks were well mixed and everything and everyone exceeded our expectations. We had Vegan hash and prime rib with portobello mushrooms has an appetizer . We cannot wait to come back and try something different or maybe the same!

    It was our first time there. We went with our family, which is two adults and two kids. The service was welcoming, very attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire night (Sabrina was our server! . The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the calamari and stuffed zucchini blossoms as our appetizers and it was absolutely delicious, the best calamari we've ever had. For dinner, three of us ordered the pasta and it was so flavorful, the quality of the pasta was succulent. One of us ordered the lasagna and it was absolutely incredible, so flavorful, so savory. I highly recommend, that was probably my favorite dish.
