"The time was ripe to expand on our recent restaurant success and introduce our parent entity Rainmaker Restaurant Group," explains Managing Director, Kevin Blair. "Since our start in South Florida in 2008, both Piñon Grill (est. 2010) and Brimstone Woodfire Grill (est. 2008) have been well received respectively by their local communities. Our entire team is excited to introduce our third restaurant concept to the Fort Lauderdale community. The Rare steakhouse space was an enviable spot for our new restaurant which we are looking forward to introducing this summer," adds Anderson.

Rainmaker Restaurant Group, committed to developing "local restaurant concepts for local communities" will be headquartered in South Florida and is currently working on developing additional localized restaurant concepts.
