Rare Bird

A Rare Dining Experience

Story behind the name “Rare Bird” The name Rare Bird is inspired by the Latin phrase “Rara Avis,” which is also the motto of Ramsey Country Club. Historically, rara avis refers to a “rare bird” — something extraordinary, unique, and seldom seen. In modern slang, it often refers to a child prodigy or a person of exceptional talent. This name bridges the cultural heritage of RCC with our culinary identity — a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience that blends the artistry of an Italian steakhouse with the precision of sushi craft. It’s also a playful nod to “rare,” evoking perfectly cooked steaks and uncommon quality in every detail. Rare Bird is more than a name — it’s a statement of distinction, creativity, and excellence.
