I didn't get the chance to learn more about Durant's before I went there with friends who said they heard good things about the place.
We were pleasantly surprised by the back kitchen door entrance and the old fashion decor.
Complimentary bread was a plus with amazing butter herb sauce. You can taste the basil, the leek, and the onion... with lots and lots of butter. It was delicious!
Between the four of us, we had NY steak, Filet Mignon, and Rib Eye steaks. As tasty as the quality of beef was, it wasn't the best I have had and wasn't worthy of the $50 dollars that I paid for. (Thought their garlic mash potato was a must try!)
We were also surprised how my friend's median NY steak are just as raw as my rare Rib Eye. We weren't able to get our waitress' attention during most the meal though she walked by our table a few times. I think he would enjoy his meal a lot better if he could have his steak done right.
The booth are also definitely designed for skinny figure individuals... We were almost elbow to elbow with one another.
I wouldn't mind going back with other friends, but I probably won't try the place again on my own. As my three stars indicated, it really was just "A-OK!"
