Medium Rare, nestled at 3201 Louisiana St., has submitted a permit for a comprehensive renovation with an ambitious budget of $400,000. The renovation spans an impressive 3,783 square feet, promising a fresh, modern update to the steakhouse.
Medium Rare elevates the dining experience with an elegantly straightforward concept—a one-choice prix fixe menu that epitomizes the art of simplicity and quality. This distinguished establishment invites guests to indulge in a culinary journey where the only decision required is the preferred doneness of a meticulously prepared steak. As you settle into the inviting ambiance, the promise is clear: sit back, relax, and let the experts craft an unforgettable meal. Medium Rare’s fame extends beyond its borders, thanks in part to its Secret Sauce, a culinary creation so beloved it has garnered a global following. And for those who tread a different dietary path, the restaurant offers an exquisite Grilled Portobello Mushroom with a Fire Roasted Red Pepper Sauce—an alternative that’s not only thoughtful but also irresistibly delicious. At Medium Rare, every guest’s preference is catered to with exceptional care, ensuring a dining experience that’s as delightful as it is simple.
At the heart of this extensive makeover is the strategic downsizing of the kitchen. This deliberate move is designed to streamline operations, allowing the culinary team to sharpen their focus on crafting exceptional dishes that have long defined Medium Rare’s reputation. By modifying the existing open kitchen layout and reducing its size, the renovation aims to enhance efficiency and foster a closer connection between the chefs and their patrons. This shift reflects a growing trend in the restaurant industry, where the emphasis is increasingly on quality over quantity, ensuring a more personalized and memorable dining experience.
The scope of work extends beyond the kitchen, encompassing a full-scale upgrade of the restaurant’s interior. This includes replacing finishes, furniture, kitchen equipment, and fixtures throughout the space. Each element is carefully chosen to elevate the ambiance, merging contemporary design with the warm, inviting atmosphere that guests have come to love. The renovation is a testament to Medium Rare’s commitment to excellence, ensuring that every visit is an event to remember. With these enhancements, the steakhouse is set to offer an even more sophisticated setting that complements its premium culinary offerings.
The permit shows the project to begin in March 2024, and with plans to wrap up by December 2024.
