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

Love this place! – Rare is truly one of the best restaurants that I have been to an a long time. I went with a group of friends who all agreed! The service was extremely friendly, ambience was impressive and the food was fabulous. The burger trio was delicious, a must try! After dinner we had drinks at Rare View on the roof and the view was incredible & the scene was amazing. We will absolutely be back!
Horrible Service – I met a group of friends at Rare, because Rare View was closed due to rain. None of us were able to get drinks in a timely fashion, and the bartender was EXTREMELY rude to us. I have been a bartender and a server, so I pride myself in understanding the plight of those in these industries. There is never an excuse for a bartender to yell at a patron, and then ask for an additonal tip!
stay away – Rare's burger is pitiful. No exaggeration. Dry and tasteless meat. Their burger is not even in the *ballpark* of Corner Bistro. You're better off going to Wendy's, for god's sake. I can't believe some of the positive reviews I'm reading on this site. Also, the fries are sorry. They were soggy -- drenched in oil [hint to kitchen staff: raise the temperture on your frier]. However, the redhead bartender is way cute and very friendly.
Best Burger in town and now Jazz too – What a pleasant surprise. My girlfriend and I are regulars at Rare . We love it there. The food, service and management are always great. Now they've added a Jazz club next door. What a great place to hang out after a great meal. Cozy atmosphere and a great Jazz quartet. Piano, bass, drums and a cool female vocalist. I understand they change the groups every day. Thurs, Fri and Sat. Drinks are reasonable and the music is fantastic. No cover, No min. and second drink is free, We were sit... read more
THE BEST IN NEW YORK – I think the bugers here are much better than at Corner Bistro. Flavorful, juicy, inventive... i like the chicken burger... the new bar on the roof-- Rare View is STUNNING!! a must see... amazing view... great drinks...
First Impression – The only thing hotel about this burger joint is the entrance. With a dark, sexy ambiance and buzzing small bar chatter, the atmosphere is surprisingly sharp. Tight quarters when your table is ready, although not uncommon to the Manhattan dinner crowd, and an impersonal wait staff may ruffle the feathers of the particular guest. The burgers are big and juicy, with a variety of flavors and opportunities. The female I was with was disappointed in the Frickles (fried pickles), thinking they were going to be "f... read more
Gilliebean – This is a great restaurant. Problem is some people complain about service. This place is hot and service can be slow.. Actually the wait is worth it. Every good restaurant in town has slow service when they're busy. Be prepared for slow service on a busy night. But enjoy the ambience , the music etc etc.. I love this place.. Best hamburgers in town, best atmosphere, Best ambience.. Owners and managers are very obliging and care about you.. You must go to the roof, for a pre dinner cocktail.. (Rare View) I love R... read more
Best We've Had – This was by far one of the best meals I've had in NYC. As a frequent visitor, because of business, I am continually looking for an affordable, yet comfortable restraunt/bar in the city. The best turkey burger I've ever had was at Rare and I would highly recommend the sweet potato fries. Not only was the beer cold, the service great and the food out of this world - but the atmosphere is casual, yet sophisticated. This will be a spot I frequent.
Nothing Special – The burgers at Rare are great as well as the basket of mixed fries. However, the service could use improvement. I didn't enjoy waiting half an hour for the fries as an appetizer and I surely did not appreciate being rushed out of the restaurant and then asked to leave the moment the restaurant picked up. That was pretty rude considering we spent lots of $$$ of beers and food. If you like burgers, eat here, but eat fast!
