Medium Rare in Houston delights with its "great value" brunch deals and a "fun experience" overall. Diners rave about the "delicious" steak and "amazing" secret sauce. While parking and noise can be challenging, the "wonderful" service and "crisp fries" make it a must-visit for both brunch and dinner.

    The food was good but would have been better if they restaurant had times the second portion better. We came here to celebrate a special birthday. Everyone was still eating our first portion when the servers came back with the second portion of steak. The new steal was piled up on one side of our tiny plate. The presentation was terrible. I was embarrassed because everyone in our party include the birthday person felt the meal being rushed. Then they came back with the new badge of fresh fries, and there was no room to put them on our plate. We asked a server to come back with them later on when we were ready. By the time everyone finished their first portion of steak, the second serving of steak got cold and was slightly undercooked which  I would have said something to the server, but didn’t realize it until I had finished eating my first portion. By the  time, the server brought the second portion of fries, our steaks were cold. We all agreed the food would have been good had we not felt super rushed. Not very French at all. The server even asked us what we wanted for dessert while It definitely kind of ruin the evening.  The server even asked us what we wanted for dessert WHILE all of us were still eating our steak!!!!! Why the rush??? Once the desserts came towards the end of the meal, there was no rush by the server at that point. I would say that the food was good, but it’s hard to tell because the timing was so off it ruined our first impression and experience at the restaurant.

    Diana H. was absolutely wonderful! Her explanation of the menu and the way she carried herself truly made it an enjoyable experience! The portion of steak was nothing like how presented on social media and the restaurant images so that was a little of a let down. However everything tasted wonderfully! Only thing I was thrown off by was because this is an out of state owned entity.. they charge a Houston city tax AND a Texas state tax.. I felt that was a little overkill. But nonetheless it was a wonderful time. We will be back!

    Everything was good, but music was too loud. We all had a problem hearing each other.

    Had a fantastic brunch today at Medium Rare, a new spot downtown! They offer an all-inclusive brunch deal for just $34.99, which includes bottomless mimosas, your choice of appetizer, and an entrée. For the price, it’s a great value! I went with the Steak & Eggs, cooked just how I like it (though they did mess up my first order and made it well done, but no big deal). The dish came with perfectly cooked steak, eggs, and crispy fries. Other options on the menu included French toast with sausage and a classic steak frites with fries. The menu is a bit limited, but everything I tried was absolutely delicious. And the Hot Fudge Sundae? Hands down, the best I’ve ever had! Topped with crispy little balls and the most decadent hot fudge—it was a dream. 😍 Overall, this place is a winner and a great spot for brunch in downtown Houston. I’ll definitely be back to try their dinner menu, as they’re also an all-inclusive meal place. Highly recommend you give it a try! 🥩🍳🍫

    Great concept and service and food were delicious! We even had the chocolate cake for dessert - outstanding. My only negative would be is the music is too loud. It's hard to hear the conversation at your table and the waiter.

    Good ambience. Great service. Fixed menu with pretty good steak and fries. Prices reasonable. Only problem is the parking sometimes.
