Dine Like a High Roller at Rare Steakhouse

"Rare has a nice selection of cuts from around the world, and the best way to sample them is the New York strip tasting ($180), which is three three-ounce cuts: Kansas-based Creekstone Farms prime, American wagyu, and Japanese wagyu. The mighty 16-ounce boneless grass-fed rib-eye, also from Creekstone, cooked to order (we suggest medium rare), and a very nice cut ($82)."

"It's steakhouse law that you have to get a potato as a side, and you should absolutely get the excellent Yukon Gold potato puree ($17), which has all the gooey elasticity of aligot. Finish your meal with a rich slice of chocolate cake ($19), with speculoos crunchy layers, and vanilla whiskey ice cream, because even if you didn't win at the slots, you deserve it."

Encore Boston Harbor opened in 2019, bringing the first casino to the Boston area and new dining options to Everett. Rare is a casino steakhouse in a large, beige, tastefully lit dining room. Steak selections include international cuts and tasting options such as a New York strip tasting of three three-ounce cuts: Creekstone Farms prime, American wagyu, and Japanese wagyu. A 16-ounce boneless grass-fed rib-eye from Creekstone is available cooked to order. Recommended sides include Yukon Gold potato puree with aligot-like elasticity. Dessert options include a chocolate cake with speculoos and vanilla whiskey ice cream. An on-site speakeasy, Old Wives Tale, offers a nautical-themed, whimsical post-dinner experience.
