Lower State Street in Santa Barbara is getting a new steakhouse this summer.
Rare Society plans to open a restaurant at 214 State St., the former site of Union Ale.
“We’re heading to Santa Barbara,” the Rare Society website says.
The company has other locations in Solana Beach and University Heights in the San Diego area.
According to the company’s website, the restaurant “pays homage to the infamous retro steakhouses that once claimed the Las Vegas Strip.”
“Inside the space, white marble, padded leather booths and a gold paneled ceiling evoke the tradition of Rat Pack gatherings and rowdy Sinatra dinner parties, while the outdoor bar and covered patio offer a decidedly lighter atmosphere for beach crowds looking for a lively bar scene,” the website states.
The restaurant features an open flame inside show kitchen, dry-aged rib eye cuts, American wagyu and classic filet mignon.
The company is recruiting. E-mail [email protected].
