Now, with spring officially here and summer on the horizon, Rare is set to highlight its distinctive Sunset Plaza patio; featuring spectacular views of the Sunset Strip, the hills above and the Plaza just ahead. With its intimate, relaxed atmosphere, white hue, large open windows, shimmering candles and a design lighter and more casual than the dining rooms, the patio at Rare by Drai’s provides the perfect warm weather experience.
