Awesome atsmosphere, tastey steaks

by Roxiecollins at Citysearch

On Valentines Day Feb. 14, 2008, my boyfriend and I wanted a romantic place to dine and great steak. We had to take and early dinner as when we called , they said all times are full. when we arrived we were seated immediatly, however throughout the evening, only about 6 couples in the dining area, as several people never showed up. We had an appitizer of crab cakes, well just one came with order but full of crab, no fillers. The Caesar salad was not as good, as hardly no greens, but inside portions of romaine. My steak, the Prime rib was as ordered, however with the large Fillet Migion, it was dry inside, when ordered as medium rare. The wine list was nice, lots of choices. Dinner took around 2 hours from beginning to end. a bit cramped in the corner booth, not to private. But all in all, a nice change, but would not go back soon.l Yes and our waitress gave me a nice flower at evenings end, Nice touch !

• Pros: historical, nice bar area, friendly staff
• Cons: rail system construction, cheap silverware, dishes for a classy place

Durant's - starting to fade?

by benbethel at Citysearch

I love many aspects of Durants - the ambiance, the drinks, the onion rings... but lately it seems that their food is getting really pricey for a non-foodie meal and they're always trying to upcharge you - get the smallest filet mignon ($24) with sauteed mushrooms ($8), a ceasar salad ($3), twice baked potato ($3), and a bottle of iced tea ($4) and suddenly you've spent $42! Add tax and you're at $50 - now add your tip and you're hitting $60 - without alcohol - that's a lot of money for not that great of a culinary experience. Still, it's a classic and a place you've got to go to on those special occasions...

• Pros: ambiance, drinks, onion rings
• Cons: expensive, crowded

Go Filet

by chuhsi at Citysearch

I eat lunch and dinner here about 4 times a week. If you go steak, go filet or prime rib. Everything else is so so.

Also tendency to overcook steaks.

Service is always top notch.

• Pros: Filet!

Top notch

Durants is a tradition here in Phoenix. For steaks,

chops and other entrees, it's hard to beat.
