| - So I've lived in Phoenix for maybe 38 years and always heard about Durant's but never been there until last night. Yes, I gave it 3 stars and I'll tell you why...
Service: was okay nothing over the top. Matter of fact the waiter forgot what I ordered about twice, but I wasn't upset. They were on point with keeping my glass of water filled, kudos.
Ambiance: Romantic, my Wife and I really enjoyed the booths, tapestry walls and red accents throughout (my favorite color).
Food; We had the oysters, saute mushrooms, 18 oz Rib-eye, 14 oz Porterhouse, Garlic Mashed potatoes, baked potato, cheesecake and tiramisu.
My Wife and I agreed the steaks where about a 9 out of 10, then from there the rest of the food was well average. In the case of my garlic mashed potatoes, that was below average they just had a taste and flavor or was paper or just some kind of pasty texture I didn't finis them, they weren't horrible just not what I expected. Backed potato and saute'd mushrooms where average (I could make these).... But the cheesecake and tiramisu... "Damn!!" so good... I'm not really into sweets as much as steaks but I'd almost go back to just eat that cheesecake again.
So at the end of it all... for the amount they charge and the flavor of food and well everything else.. I just wasn't that impressed. It's not horrible, mind you. For the amount of money, I've had excellence service, and outstanding food... Was nice to finally see what is was all about.
