Another great meal (brunch) at Medium Rare! We enjoyed the steak frites, steak and eggs (poached), and the French toast. We love the salad that comes with our orders. I get the parfait, and it’s always delicious. I wish it could be ordered by itself. I could have three for a meal! Our server, Sky, is phenomenal. She answered all our questions thoroughly. If she didn’t know the exact answer, she found out and returned with answers that satisfied our curiosity. Thank you, Sky, for being an awesome server! I hope your boss lets you know how happy we are with your friendly and professional service.
