Had a chance to have dinner at Durant's last night. We finally were able to get a reservation for Saturday at 4:15PM. We entered through the Kitchen and the greeting by kitchen staff was friendly. Our party of six was seated quickly in the bar dining area. Our server Megan was eager to assist and gave a complete review of the menu (all staff were great). I was surprised that they were willing to split orders and customize too. My wife and I split the delicious and perfectly cooked 22 oz. Prime rib; still brought some home. Everyone else had steaks and scallops. What a great new Durant's! read more

OMG!!!!! This classic gem is a masterpiece.... You walk in through the kitchen, like a mob boss!! Forewarning, let your eyes adjust! You sit down and it's a blast to the past, it has a Goodfellas vibe and very intimate. The drinks... let me tell you, they're wet and very DELICIOUS yummy! I got salt bay oysters and they were divine the crab claws were equally as delicious as an appetizer. Ordered the NY strip, the fries and loaded baked potatoe, and boy was it delicious, just delicious I don't have any other adjective to describe it. Did I mention the drinks...? Yeah. They're Good! Ok now the service. This is what made the evening. We had Laura as our server, she was freaking amazing! She was thorough, she had a sense of humor and she made our dinner remarkable. If you go, please, please do your self a favor and ask for Laura, you will not be disappointed. Hope you all enjoy as much as I did! read more

Great vibe, same decor as before remodel gave a perfect dining experience provided by Victoria, with every steak, from filet mignon to wagu steaks, the taste was perfection! Drinks were good .. though margaritas should be served in Margarita glasses. But .... Greatly disappointed that the dress code was not complied with on a Sunday night. Jeans, T-shirts were throughout... though mostly a crowded well dressed room .... my birthday experience was diminished. Creamed spinach, deviled eggs, spicy shrimp mashed potatoes and corn were excellent! Hanging bacon, brussel sprouts, scalloped potatoes and jumbo shrimp at $13 each were duds .. pass on these. For sides bring back the Liver and Onion rings ( apps. And sides were so large that half orders were offered) A lovely evening... we will return now that we know what to order... read more

The restoration kept the soul of the 1950s intact. You still enter through the back kitchen door, walking past the chefs and the heat of the line to reach your table. The menu has been updated and now includes caviar service * Atmosphere: Dim lighting, signature red velvet wallpaper, and plush red leather booths. It feels like a scene out of a Scorsese movie. * The Crowd: A mix of Phoenix "old guard" politicians, couples on romantic dates, and people looking for that classic mid-century glamour. So happy to see this place open again, it's been a favorite for years! read more

Had a wonderful dinner during the PHX Open. Friday night 8:30pm - place is pretty much full up. New owners have done a great job refreshing the place. Still has plenty of charm. Service was top notch. Menu has been totally reworked and modernized - plenty of options. We had Fried Devil Eggs (excellent) and oysters (super fresh) to start. Shared a 72oz Porterhouse between 4 of us. More than we could eat. Cooked to perfection. Dessert menu features plenty of sweets and after dinner drinks. Highly recommend. N*joy! read more

Durant's - Bread and crudités - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We went to Durant's after the remodel really wanting it to be fantastic. It has that reputation and history, and I went in hoping for one of those classic, memorable steakhouse nights. This ended up being a tough review for me because there were some real positives, but some things not so great too. I always try to keep my reviews consistent and trustworthy, so I'm honest, transparent, and hold every place to the same standards. So here's the real deal... *Service: the service was very good overall. Brandon was our server and Cohen was the server assistant. Brandon was friendly and attentive and stayed on top of things, he just came across a bit robotic at times and leaned slightly toward upselling. Cohen was extremely friendly and personable and took great care of us. The manager, John, came by and was genuinely interested in making sure we had a good experience. When I gently and honestly responded to his question about our food regarding the issues with my steak, he and Brandon offered to bring me a different cut. I chose to keep the ribeye and work through it, hoping it would improve. They later sent us home with a piece of chocolate cake on the house for the misses, which was generous and appreciated. The team clearly cared about making sure we had a good experience and I respected that. *Food: this is where things weren't stellar. The Caesar salad with the poached egg was excellent. They split it for us and it was fresh, chilled, and really enjoyable. The sourdough bread was also very good. Warm, steamy, soft and chewy inside with a very crunchy crust that was honestly a bit too tough, but flavorful. It came with whipped salted butter and olive oil, plus a small crudité plate with olives, pickles, and radishes, which was a nice touch. My 22 oz wet aged ribeye was a disappointment. It was cooked to the proper medium rare in the center, but overall tasted dry and bland. There was a chewy, gristly section near the fat cap and not enough marbling throughout to keep it moist. On my scale it was a 5 out of 10, especially considering the high price. Ribeye relies heavily on fat quality and proper rendering and needs careful attention. Filet mignon is typically the most ordered steak and often gets the most consistency and focus in a kitchen. Two others at our table ordered the filet mignon and loved theirs, rating them around a 9 out of 10 and saying they were great. That made me wish I had ordered the filet mignon as well. The scalloped potatoes were excellent. Cheesy, rich, creamy, and layered beautifully. The roasted brussels sprouts were fair. Nice smoky pork, but the sprouts were small, lacked char, and didn't have much flavor or pop. Just flat tasting. The walnut and chocolate old fashioneds were excellent. My Cabernet Sauvignon was just okay, disappointing for a glass near $25. *Ambiance: the room is beautiful in a classic old-school way. Dark, warm, very 1950s steakhouse. The renovation looks great. That said, it was extremely dark, hard to see across the room and even at our table. Our table location was also a problem. We were seated right next to the busing station where the lavender towels are steamed. The lavender smell was extremely strong and lingered over our table the entire meal, which affected how the food tasted and was overwhelmingly unpleasant all night. This table is also near the end of the bar and it was extremely loud. Much louder than reasonable for a space with velvet wallpaper and leather booths. We had to yell and concentrate on hearing each other to talk at our own booth. Between the noise, the darkness, and the strong lavender smell, the evening ambience was less enjoyable than it could have been. *Value: this is an expensive night out by most standards. We were roughly $280 per couple, close to $600 for the table. The cost alone wasn't the issue. The noise level, the darkness, the mediocre steak, and sitting in a cloud of lavender smell all took away from the experience and made the overall value feel low for that price point. *Overall: this was a mixed experience for me. There were definite highlights. Great service, excellent Caesar salad, fantastic scalloped potatoes, strong cocktails, and others at the table loved their meals. My ribeye, combined with the table location, strong lavender smell, darkness, and noise level, made it a three star experience for me. I can see how this place might deliver a five star night for some tables, and maybe we just had a mediocre cut and a tough seating location. I'd like to believe that's possible. I would consider trying Durant's again someday, but given the price and how this visit went, I can't imagine when that will be. Would be expensive and disappointing to have a similar experience. read more

The New Durant's: A "Steak 44" Soul in a Vintage Shell? Having visited for my birthday in January '24 and returning this year (Jan '25) under the new ownership, the evolution of Durant's is undeniable. While the quality remains high, the "Old School" soul has definitely shifted toward a more polished, modern Steak 44-style experience. If you're a purist who loved the specific seasoning and prep of the old Durant's ribeye, you'll notice a difference. The steak is still delicious, but the preparation feels more aligned with the Mastro family's other concepts. It's excellent beef, but it has lost a bit of that unique "Durant's dust" that made it a standalone legend for decades. Despite the shift in style, they've kept (and added) some heavy hitters that you won't find at Steak 44 or Ocean 44: * Hanging Bacon: A showstopper appetizer that is as much about the presentation as the flavor. * Crispy Bone-In Veal Parm: Massive, decadent, and perfectly executed. * The Classics: They still offer Prime Rib and a fantastic Vodka Sauce that feels like a nod to traditional red-sauce joints. The service remains world-class. Our server, Matt, was the highlight of the night--incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and he surprised us with a complimentary birthday dessert that made the evening feel special. Interior-wise, the "bones" are the same. It's still the red vibe we love, just slightly rearranged and refreshed with new-yet-vintage decor. However, a major "Yelper Beware": the tables are quite narrow and can feel cramped. If you're used to the sprawling booths at Steak 44, this will feel significantly tighter. The food is great, but for my money, I'd rather visit Steak 44. There isn't quite enough of a quality gap to justify the drive downtown just to sit at a cramped table. It's a beautiful tribute to the original, but the experience now feels like a "B-side" to their Camelback location. read more

The new Durant's knocks it out of the park. They kept everything great about the old Durant's, and took it up a notch. We had scallops, ribeye, bone-in filet, and veal parmesan; everything was delicious and perfect. Service was top-notch. And they still honor the dessert tokens from old Durant's! read more

Celebrated my Birthday here and it was one to remember. Everything was amazing since the new reopen. Our table was in the new addition which was gorgeous. I love the original feel with the update. They did a great job of modernizing the space. Steaks, apps, martinis, and strawberry shortcake was divine! The oysters Rockefeller have always been my favorite at Durants and I loved how they kept them on the menu! This is a must spot if you need a great steak with a rat pack twist! read more

We visited Durant's a couple of weeks after it reopened under new ownership and menu. We had eaten here previously and enjoyed it. The restaurant is located in central Phoenix and there is plenty of parking on site. They charge for valet. The ambience has not changed. It is an elegant, dim-lit, old-fashioned restaurant. You'll be surprised to walk in through the kitchen. We sat in the Porter room, which also has a window looking into the kitchen. I did find it odd that they were blaring top 40 music from the 2000s, but then I remembered that being odd about Ocean 44 also (same owners now). I would recommend they consider toning it down to match the ambience. The service was excellent. Our server knew the menu very well and was able to answer all of our questions. Our food came out in time and the orders were all done right. The food was delicious, but it is quite pricey. Don't come here if you're on a budget. However, portions are really big: 12 oz filet- ordered medium, comes on a hot plate. Very juicy and tender. King crab legs- large portion, easy to eat, and melt in your mouth delicious. Quite pricey at market price. Branzino- seasoned well, tender, comes with a lemon butter sauce. I ordered it braised. Creamed corn- creme brulee style, but pretty sweet so avoid if you don't like sweet sides. We liked it. Creamed spinach- very creamy but flavored well. Scalloped potatoes- very cheesy but delicious. Since the portions were huge, we ended up packing a lot of food to go. We were so stuffed that we had no room for dessert! We'll try it next time. read more

First time back to Durant's since they were bought by new "owners" and the remodel. Since it was last minute we had to have an early reservation at 3:45pm. With traffic we arrived at 3:55pm which was no problem for them and were seated right away. Still love that the entrance is straight through the kitchen. Everyone gave a friendly welcome on our way in. Our server's assistant greeted us promptly and offered us our choice of water. Our server greeted us shortly after and took our beverage order. We splurged on a bottle of wine, one of our favorite Chateau St Michelle Rieslings Eroica. It was delicious! We also loved the complimentary charcuterie board which consists of a half loaf of fresh baked warm bread, olives, gherkin pickles and breakfast radishes. We each opted for a BLT wedge salad minus the bleu cheese crumbles. The dressing was perfect! Our server, Brian who was wonderful, came back for our order. Hubby ordered Prime Rib and I went for one of the specials which was 6 scallops served with lemon and butter. We also opted for the creamed corn crème brûlée as our veggie side on Brian's recommendation. It is a signature side of Durant's though we had never ordered it on the many previous visits. It was the bomb! It was soooo good! The scallops were good though I like mine a bit more firm and cooked through. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his prime rib with creamy horseradish and au jus. We never felt rushed snd the pace of the meal was spot on. The restaurant did get much busier by the time we left. The noise level is moderate and the music was a mix of 70s and 80s rock with some light jazz mixed in. It created a perfect ambience. For dessert we chose the peach cobbler ala mode! It was perfectly crispy on top and was so large it would be enough for 4 to share. We took home leftovers which were packed up by our server's assistant Angel who also was very good at refilling our waters and asking if everything was satisfactory. Overall great experience and we will be back again! They have kept the history of Durant's wonderful service and top notch food alive! read more

This was our first visit back since the ownership transition. From the moment we entered, we were greeted by the kitchen staff, and even the host station wore mid-century chic outfits, a delightful touch before we were seated. Our drinks and appetizers were promptly taken, followed by our entrées. We ordered the fried deviled eggs, the bacon iceberg wedge with blue cheese, macaroni and cheese, bacon Brussels sprouts, and a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye cooked to medium-rare. The food was excellent; the steaks weren't overly fatty like at their sister restaurant Steak 44, and they were cooked to perfection. Regarding the ambience, the vibe came close to the mark. They clearly revived the old feel and preserved its appeal. However, as someone from Miami, I personally dislike having to look over my shoulder at a five-star restaurant and see guests dressed like they're at a Denny's--flip-flops, wedges, rip jeans and beach shorts. It detracted from the overall experience, especially considering the price point. I mentioned this to our server, and she laughed and agreed that some people should have been stopped at the door acknowledging the dress code but she emphasize it's Phoenix vibes people don't know how to dress --though, in practice, it felt like a lack of formality. I'm not dissing Phx obviously because I live here also it's just was a let down to see the standard was not being held. Another disappointment was how our sides were handled. When we asked to have them boxed up, they were tossed away along with the scraps from our steaks, which were instead suppose to have been a snack for our friend's dog. read more

I'll pile on to the great reviews. We moved to Scottsdale in 2019. Lived in LA for over 20 years and had our favorite old timey joints (The Palm West Hollywood, Dan Tana's, Musso & Frank, Vitello's,Baronne's) so let's go with this type of special vibe. The effort to restore this old joint and keep the integrity while modernizing does not go unnoticed. Fresh paint outside and the inside is beautiful. It's expensive but it should be as a "special " occasion place. Love that you still go in the back and through the kitchen . They have a doorman and valets so you feel safe in that parking lot which is important. It's not in an area of town we usually frequent. Especially at night. When you walk through the kitchen and all the Chef's are there to greet you (and say Happy New Year when we went) starts your experience as fun and special. The uniforms on all workers elevate your experience . It's a step back in time. Love it! I started with an Espresso Martini and my wife with her usual martini on the rocks at the bar which a friendly bartender. We moved to a table and Issac was our server. Also, friendly busboys and a manager Nick checked in on us. We were celebrating our anniversary and one of the specials changed our game plan. The Stone Crab Claws which were pre cracked and delicious. We also got the crispy flamingo shrimp and Rosemary salted French fries. They start you with fresh bread, olives, radishes and such which are great. We skipped entrees as we were full but they delivered their 11 layer chocolate cake as a gift for our anniversary. We got espresso and my wife got a Taylor Fladgate 30. We both had 3 cocktails being we were celebrating (and took a Lyft)...but brace yourself when the bill comes. Withe no entrees it was $450. Well worth it for a special occasion but a tough putt for a weekday dinner out. Love it...try it....we will be back on another special occasion . read more

Absolutely amazing! The food is always delicious and the service is exceptional. I can't wait to go back.

We live in the neighborhood and were really happy to see Durant's reopen and feel like itself again. Walking in through the kitchen is still part of the experience, and I loved seeing that they kept the phone booth and the original bathroom signage. Those details matter, and it's clear there was real intention around preserving the character of the space. For anyone concerned about changes: yes, it's refreshed and a bit more polished, but the soul of Durant's is absolutely still there. Restaurants can't be frozen in time forever, and what matters is whether the integrity is respected. In this case, it is. Durant's is expensive and may be more of a special-occasion spot for many people, but it's not inaccessible. It sounds like Friday lunch is coming back, and the bar and appetizers are a great option if you want something more low-key. The food was excellent. My partner had the ribeye and I had the sea bass, and both were exactly what you'd hope for. Service was attentive, professional, and very much in line with what Durant's has always been known for. The only small thing that stood out to me was the TV in the bar. I can't remember if it was there before, but it pulled slightly from the otherwise classic vibe. Overall, this feels like a thoughtful revival rather than a reinvention. The restaurant is elevated, but the atmosphere, service, and experience remain unmistakably Durant's. Looking forward to coming back and sitting at the bar next time. read more

You get what you pay for, and Durant's continues to be a top notch, local, institution. My family has gone over different decades, and while not attended frequently, it is definitely well-regarded and praised each visit. The last time we were here was about 5 years ago and we were curious to see if there were any unwarranted or ill-advised changes since it opened under new management. We can attest that our experience was still exceptional. The food was mouth watering and high quality. The service is beyond friendly and attentive. And yes, the decor is still dark, mid century, with the rat pack vibes I want. read more

I just received my follow up call from Durants to ensure everything was to perfection; and it was. This is the definition of fine dining and all other establishments need to take note: Durants is back and better than ever. Service par excellence. The team of servers were simply put, all over it. Whatever was needed was brought promptly. There weee big smiles, stories about the former pit boss himself and of course at least two managers came to check on us during our experience. Entering through the back to greetings from the chefs reeks of authenticity and I felt more than welcome. The mood continues as the red leather and perfect remodel of the classic steakhouse awaits: Mastro knows what he is doing. The food was perfect from top to bottom my veal had a perfect crust and I have been missing crème brulee corn! Caviar cones with gold leaf! After some mediocre pseudo fine dining negativity downtown, I am thrilled that Durants is back and bringing its A game. read more

Durant's is one of those places that does not care about trends, vibes, or what TikTok thinks. It has been doing the same thing for decades and frankly does not plan on stopping now. The room alone sets the tone. Dark. Moody. Low ceilings. Red leather energy. We were seated in a tucked-away section that used to be the manager's office before the renovation, which means you're eating in a space that feels important but slightly chaotic. There are other tables around you, a full wall of wine behind glass judging every decision you make, and just enough noise to remind you that this is a serious steakhouse, not a library. Let's talk food. The Chilean sea bass shows up confident and buttery like it knows exactly why you ordered it. The corn crème brûlée sounds fake on paper and then immediately proves you wrong. Sweet, savory, unhinged, excellent. The Caesar salad with a poached egg is Durant's quietly reminding you that rules are optional here. The center cut filet mignon is cooked exactly how you asked for it, because that's the bare minimum and Durant's clears it without drama. Dessert matters here. Chocolate cake that demands silence. Warm chocolate chip cookies that feel like a flex. Durant's is not trying to impress you. It assumes you already know why you're there. The service is old-school, the food is consistent, and the room feels like it has seen everything and is keeping the secrets. If you want a steakhouse that feels like Phoenix history, feeds you well, and makes you feel slightly watched by the wine wall, Durant's is still that place. read more

Durant's Steakhouse Everything was freaking fabulous. From the moment you walk in, you understand why Durant's is a classic. Entering through the kitchen, being greeted immediately, and feeling genuinely welcomed sets the tone right away. There's intention here. A rhythm. A sense that hospitality still matters. One detail that truly stood out and honestly made me smile was something you almost never see anymore, even in upscale dining. The silver crumb scraper. Watching the tablecloth be cleaned properly between courses felt old-fashioned in the best way. It's thoughtful, polished, and a reminder of how fine dining used to operate. Small detail. Big impression. Let's talk service, because this is where Durant's really shines. Our server Ricky was absolutely phenomenal. Patient, kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the experience. On top of that, the service model here works. One person focused on food, another on drinks, another assisting with clearing and boxing. Three people, seamless execution. This is how fine dining should function. It keeps everything smooth, calm, and elevated throughout the night. Bread service deserves its own moment. Complimentary bread is becoming rare, and charging for it has unfortunately become the norm. Not here. Fresh bread arrived with a full relish tray. Pickles, olives, radishes. Old-school steakhouse perfection. Generous and welcoming before you even place your order. The raw bar is a must. Everything is à la carte, allowing you to build your own mini seafood tower. The shrimp cocktail was excellent. Clean, cold, and perfectly cooked. One very minor critique here and honestly an easy fix. Use lemon nets. The small mesh covers that prevent seeds from flying everywhere when you squeeze. Seeds all over shrimp is not the vibe. Spend the extra couple bucks. It matters. The Caesar salad was delicious. The poached egg on top was a great touch and added richness, but it was slightly overdressed. Still very good, just pulled back a bit on the dressing and it would be spot on. Now the star of the night. The filet. Perfectly seasoned. Ten out of ten. No sauce needed. No accompaniment wanted. The flavor stood entirely on its own. This is what a steakhouse filet should be. Confident, rich, and cooked with precision. Creamed spinach and potatoes au gratin were exactly what you want alongside a steak like this. Classic, comforting, and executed well. Now let's talk espresso martinis. This is where I get opinionated, because I am a coffee connoisseur. Trust the process. Trust the espresso. The first martini was made with cold brew, which I immediately did not enjoy. It tasted watered down and lacked depth. Ricky handled this flawlessly. He took it away without hesitation and returned with a new espresso martini made with a real shot of espresso. Night and day difference. Later on, he even admitted he agreed with me. Honesty matters, and so does using real espresso. Upscale restaurants and bars, please hear this. Real espresso makes the drink. Dessert was a showstopper. The ice cream cake topped with those beautiful piped peaks that look like meringue but eat like whipped cream was stunning. Rich, balanced, and visually dramatic. Presentation was wild in the best way. And then the final touch. Two mini chocolate chip cookies brought to the table at the end of the night. A small, sweet gesture that leaves you smiling even after a costly bill. That's how you close a meal. Durant's was purchased and reopened by the Mastro Brothers, and they did this right. They honored the legacy. The red booths. The kitchen entrance. The name. The soul of the restaurant. From Ocean 44 to Dominick's to Steak 48 in Chicago, they understand how to preserve tradition while delivering consistency and excellence. This was a start-to-finish experience done exceptionally well. From the minute you walked in to the minute you left, the goal was clear. Make you feel taken care of. Make you feel satisfied. Make you want to come back. This is a 10. You have to go. Welcome to the table. read more

Durant's is everything a classic Phoenix steakhouse should be -- impeccable service, stunning food, and an atmosphere that transports you to a time when dining out meant something. The Iberico pork chops were a revelation: perfectly crusted, rich, and beautifully plated. The sides were indulgent and spot-on. The staff made our table feel genuinely special, going above and beyond for a birthday celebration in a way that felt warm and personal rather than perfunctory. We will absolutely be back. One small note for the management: Durant's has a dress code, and for good reason. It's part of what makes the room feel elevated and special. I asked my 78-year-old father to tuck in his collared shirt out of respect for the establishment and our fellow diners. It was a little jarring, then, to find a MAGA trucker hat at a nearby table. Whatever your politics, a room full of people trying to enjoy a lovely evening is probably not the place to make a statement. In an era that feels increasingly divisive and exhausting, a great restaurant should be a refuge. Durant's is almost that. Enforce the dress code consistently and it will be completely that. The food and service earn every star. The vibe is almost there. read more

Classic never goes out of style! We had a great experience and meal. Ben was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. All the staff was very friendly from walking in to the kitchen with the chefs, to the busser. They retained a lot of the old school charm with Mastro Family perfection (they acquired this iconic steakhouse in early 2025 and closed for about six months to remodel). It's very classic old-school steakhouse, dark with white tablecloths, upscale dining, with a dress code. From the fresh salads to the unforgettable gluten free chocolate cake we enjoyed every bite. It has been a long time since we saw KC on a menu, and my daughter loved the Kansas City cut/bone in 18 oz New York. I loved the iberico bone in pork chops. It was a perfect sear that locked in moisture and had a thick, "caramelized" crust. My partner enjoyed the classic flavorful prime rib (cooked perfectly medium rare). read more

We celebrated our 24th anniversary last night at Durant's. The food was perfect, the service was impeccable, and the remodel was so elegantly done. Our server, Gustavo, was friendly, professional, and knew the menu inside and out. When a nearby table of 4 wouldn't stop complaining about the temperature of the room, the dressing on the salad, etc, Gustavo managed the conversation so professionally and made sure the table was taken care of, even though they were extremely rude to him. This was definitely a 5 star experience for us. We've always loved Durant's and will definitely return. read more

Everything was perfect -- UNTIL ... a woman sat at the table next to us drenched in the worst perfume I ever smelled. We left early. I couldn't smell my food. How could anybody think it's anything but rude to wear such an offensive stench to an upscale restaurant?! The restaurant called to ask about our experience. I suggested that in addition to the Dress Code (that they just implemented after their recent refurbishment) they establish a Perfume Code. We'll see if they ever do it. We'll see if Durant's puts profits ahead of patrons' comfort... Other fancy restaurants have a Perfume Code. Most medical clinics and hospitals ban strong perfumes by both staff and patients. Also most business offices have a rule against strong perfumes by employees and patrons alike. read more

Service was excellent, and the interior since the re-opening was very nice and kept to the original 1950's theme - 5 stars there. The food however, I felt was overpriced and overrated. $68 Ribeye was cooked to proper temp but was a bit tough and not that flavorful - just underwhelming. $18 Asparagus was thick and a bit too fiberous requiring a knife to cut it. $42 Seafood mashed potato's were excellent but... really $$ ?? Messed up the bill for 2 of our party and it took 3 separate tries to straighten it out. Floor manager was not particularly helpful and acted like we were just a pain in the a$$.

Used to go to Durant's at least once a week in the 80s. Tried it today after their reopening for lunch with my two sisters. Ordered a 4 piece shrimp cocktail, which was $13 per shrimp! Well worth it We each ordered different salads for our entrees. Each salad had way too much dressing and too much salt on it, and I love salt. Each of us could only take a few bites. Extremely disappointing!! read more

The food was delicious, the service was attentive and the classic 1950s vibe made the experience memorable. Our server was very kind and attentive, and the food was amazing! My only complaints were how underdressed the patrons were. Many people were wearing shorts, sneakers, etc. It's more a disappointment in people not having class, rather than a criticism of Durant's as a business. I just hope the dress code is more strictly enforced in the future to give the establishment the respect it deserves for being such a high class restaurant. Otherwise, I loved my experience, and I will definitely return. read more

Food- below average with exceptionally high prices. Service- Over bearing to the point of hovering. Ambiance-Great. As a longtime Durant's regular, I am deeply disappointed. Mastro's kept non of the unique recipes or dedication to serving an uncomplicated yet high quality cut of beef. And the $13 shrimp (singular as in price per shrimp) nothing amazing. You can't eat ambiance. On the look out for where I can get a good steak. Durants tokens, anyone? read more

Ok we were very excited to see what changes had taken place at Durants. Let me say, from walking in the iconic back door entrance and being greeted by the staff wow!!!! The up dates in the restaurant decor are outstanding. We very lucky to be able to celebrate our anniversary in new wine cellar!!! The old office. Now our server Ben was so informed about the menu and walked us through the menu some of the old favorites have been replaced by an updated menu that is, kick a$$. Thank you to the entire staff for a epic evening read more

This review is way overdue. I, like many others, have always held Durant's Steakhouse in high regard. I was certainly disappointed to learn of its closure in 2025. However, I was subsequently quite pleased to discover that the team behind the very first Mastro's Steakhouse and the successful Steak 44 had acquired Durant's. When visiting Phoenix, I consistently make it a point to dine at Durant's and Steak 44 or Ocean 44. I eagerly anticipate the reopening of the reimagined Durant's Steakhouse in December 2025. I am confident that the exceptional quality of steaks, synonymous with Steak 44 and Ocean 44, will be maintained, while I am equally enthusiastic about discovering the new entrées and appetizers that will be featured on the updated menu. I am also very interested in the new interior design and the guest entrance experience. Will the unique tradition of walking through the kitchen and greeting the chefs be preserved? I intend to revise this review upon experiencing the new Durant's Steakhouse. I extend my best wishes to the new Durant's team for a successful launch and the continued legacy of this iconic establishment, which has been a prominent fixture in the Valley of the Sun since 1950. read more

Our party of four had a wonderful time at Durant's. Two of us had been to the original and were intrigued and apprehensive of the changes. It was fantastic. The vibe has been retained with a modern flair. No ashtray full of mints in the ladies room, but the phone booth still remains! The staff was flawless despite it being the second day... the first for some of them. Everyone was welcoming, including the kitchen staff as we walked through! Our waiter and the server's assistant were on top of everything. No detail was left unchecked or question unanswered. Of course, no restaurant would be anything if the food fell short, and this does not! It was scrumptious. Everyone LOVED their fillet mignons and I loved my branzino. All were cooked to perfection! As sides we shard the mushroom caps (delicious), the mac and cheese (amazing - probably my favorite) and the scalloped potatoes (fantastic). Finally, the dessert... OMG! We split the 11 layer chocolate cake and lou lou's cookies and cream ice cream cake. They were delectable! The presentation was only outdone by the taste! My photo doesn't do it justice, but I'm posting it anyway. read more

Durant's - 11 Layer Chocolate Cake and Lou Lou's Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cake - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

magical and magnificent legendary neighborhood gem. The Maestro brothers now own 4 restaurants in the valley and one in Chicago. What we love about them is the quality of the service and the food. They can do that because they keep it local n keep it small. They updated Durants with class n keeping the ambiance of the yesteryears. John the assistant manager remembered us from Ocean 44 and welcomed us. Christian our server remembered us from Steak 44 and welcomed us. The service was beyond belief as usual. The food was divine. The ambiance was a Wow read more

I have not been to Durants in awhile, so I chose to dine here for a big milestone birthday with a friend. Let me tell you, the experience was amazing, the serve was amazing, and the food was amazing. The dark restaurant, with the red walls brought back so many good memories and made me remember why I loved Durants so much. The host at the front was so nice and she made sure we were comfortable while waiting for our table. We started off with some champagne for a drink, and had spinach dip for a appetizer. for the main course, we had salmon and a ribeye. We had beer the night with the Creme Brûlée dessert which was lovely. The food, service, and vibes were a 10/10. I cannot wait to come back and receive the amazing experience Durants has to offer. read more
