Rare650
Steakhouse in Syosset, Long Island, with a glass Conservatory for weddings of over 100 guests
Rare650 is a steakhouse on Jericho Turnpike in Syosset, on the North Shore of Long Island. Its wedding space is the Conservatory, a glass-walled room with atrium-style ceilings, surrounded by gardens and anchored by a tall handcrafted mantle lit with candles.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
GLW recommends Rare650 to couples who want strong food and a room that feels distinctive without a lot of added decoration. The Conservatory does much of the styling work for you, with daylight pouring in for an afternoon celebration and a starlit feel once evening falls. The chefs build a custom menu for each event, so the meal can reflect your tastes and your guests rather than a fixed banquet list. Weddings can be booked on any day the venue has free, which helps if you want a weekday or an off-season date.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies can be held on site, so you and your guests stay in one place from vows to the last dance. The Conservatory looks out over the gardens, which gives you a green backdrop whatever the season. Talk to the events team about how the room can be set for a ceremony and then turned around for dinner, or whether part of the garden setting can be used for your vows.
Receptions and food
The Conservatory is temperature-controlled, so it stays comfortable through summer heat and winter cold, and it seats well over 100 guests. Food is built around prime dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood and sushi, with menus shaped around your event. An on-premises sommelier selects the wines, which is useful if you want pairings for each course. The 12-foot mantle, candlelight and glass walls make the room photograph well both day and night.
Getting there and the area
Syosset sits in Nassau County, close to the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway, so it is an easy drive from New York City and the rest of Long Island. Syosset station on the Long Island Rail Road is a short taxi ride from the venue, giving guests without a car a straightforward route from Penn Station or Grand Central Madison. Hotels in Woodbury, Jericho and Plainview are close for overnight guests, and Oyster Bay, Planting Fields and the North Shore harbors are near enough for a day of sightseeing.
