Rare

[annanstee]

Do you think she should have sent it back and demanded a Sauternes glass?

[Chef Fowke]

Not to be unfair to Chef McClean...

Colleen has really stepped up and researched a very cool and sustainable menu for Rare.

I believe Rare is close to sold out for City Dine....we may offer the menu (and the comp water and donation) for and additional 7 - 14 days (depending on demand). Right now we are 75% over last year in reservations!!!

Here is the menu.
