About this business
Open for the warm months, Rare View delivers on it's name. Located on the 16th floor of the beautiful Shelburne Hotel, Rare View offers excellent NYC skyline views from atop its Murray Hill location. One feels up close to some of the behemoths that bewilder from street level. It's all quite intimate. The only problem here is the prices soar in the clouds too. Beers can run over just a few dollars. Also lines can form to enter and the elevator is slow. Definitely worth a visit, but stick around for only a drink or so and then... read more

YUM – A great, convenient neighborhood spot for a lite bite and a beer!
Extremely disappointing service – Given the high prices, I'd expect much better. My boyfriend and I went early on a Tuesday night and asked to sit at a 3 person booth. The restaurant was empty, yet we were told they were expecting a rush and only parties of 3 could sit there. Twenty minutes later they seated another couple there, and when we left much later the so called rush had never come. As for our waitress, she only had 3 tables to watch, yet did an excellent job of ignoring all of them. We spent half the meal waiting f... read more
Great Place! – I might not eat meat but I can proudly say the best veggie burger in NYC is at Rare! And if I were to eat meat again, I would have a burger from Rare. My friend who ordered a burger, never put it down on the plate! The beer selection rocks too!
Upscale burger joint – Rare is one of the rarest things: Affordable food in a neighborhood not known for affordable options. The service here is great and the decor is cozy. They have interesting sides like the frickle (fried pickles) and a fried fry sampler featuring 3 types of fries and sauces.
A Rare Find – After eating at just about every burger place in New York it has become apparent that Rare Bar & Grill blows the other burger joints away. A sexy atmosphere with great service will make this my new home.
More casual than fabulous – RARE is more of a small sports/hotel bar with a dimly lit dining area. I was expecting a trendy or upscale restaurant after reading reviews in CitySearch & TONY. The $21 "All American Protein Meal" is acclaimed - a Kobe beef patty w/ mushrooms and garlic sautéed spinach on the side. I thought the meat was perfect, but that was it. The spinach, side of fries, and house salad were all disappointing. However, I will try it again b/c I am such a meat lover.
Pretty darn good. – Man, the guy who posted before me can't spell to save his life. But anyway, I had a good experience at Rare. The burger, to my taste, was quite good, and was helped by the excellent roll on which it was served (I think the menu said the rolls are from Eli's). I probably wouldn't do the roquefort-stuffed again--it was a little too rich for my blood--but the burger itself was perfectly cooked. Atmosphere was cool too--no complaints at all about that. Burgers were under $10 (at least the non-fancy ones were)... read more
Salmon burger worth it – WEnt for a nice lunch with a friend. The waitress was really nice and helpful. The burgers were really good especially the salmon burger. Mouth watering. Nice burger joint.
Finally an upscale burger place!!! – I LOVE rare so much I'm actually afraid to post anything because I don't want too many people to know about it. But seeing as they should be doing MUCH better than they are currently (lots of tourists at night, empty during day), I'll do my part to clue other red meat lovers in on this great new burger place. I've been going here since it opened and am never disappointed. The salads are great -- try the caesar, it's a meal in itself. The burgers are fabulous -- I usually get the Rare Clas... read more
