Top notch experience and dinner. Lobster, center cut filet, dry aged ribeye, wedge salad, and whipped potatoes were all perfectly cooked and professionally served.

North Park

About the restaurant

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.

The food was delicious; maybe the best filet I've ever had! The service, however, was very slow - took too long to get drinks and even order our food. That said, I'll definitely be back because of the food.

Celebrating a Date Night after 51 years of marriage can be less exciting as 51 days of dating someone! But after this wonderful experience at Flemings it reminded us of how great a night out could be! Thank you all for great drinks, tasty meals and outstanding service!
