The happy hour dishes are wonderful. Highly recommend the himachi Crudo dish which is not on happy hour, but well worth it :) ### meggies_munchies — 5.0/5 · Mar 25, 2026 Just wait until 5 and you can get the hamachi crudo to compliment the meal. It’s usually my dessert. While other tend to go the buttery Parker’s house rolls dessert direction instead ### sd.foodndrank — 5.0/5 · Dec 16, 2022 This is for the steak lovers! I love Rare Society for a special occasion spot. It's a pricey meal but it's worth it. I love the Ambassador's board which is the Chef's choice of 3 premium steaks, and it came with bone marrow and sauces. The old fashioned was also amazing and decadent- came with meat! #RareSociety #SolanaBeach #Steak ### kimdashe — 5.0/5 · Mar 23, 2025 sitting at the bar is such a great vibe— get the gochujang bacon, lamp lollipops, blue crab dip, truffle mushrooms, creamed spinach, denver wagyu with hollandaise and horseradish dip and thank me laterrrrr!! pro tip: this restaurant is pricey so go for the happy hour! the deals are insane! ### meggies_munchies — 5.0/5 · Mar 25, 2026 The signature happy hour burger is it for sure. Couple with the IPA. Good vibes. Go to go 🤗 ### user_3b355e — 5.0/5 · Feb 16, 2026 great fresh seafood and drinks 😁 ### meggies_munchies — 5.0/5 · Mar 11, 2026 As always, the Denver snake river Wagyu is out of control. It’s wonderful with the bernaise sauce on the side. Start off with some brussel sprouts and creamy truffle spinach and you’re golden! ### meggies_munchies — 5.0/5 · Mar 29, 2026 The service is always excellent and the steak can’t be beat. Best I’ve had in San Diego
