  • After 18 years in the valley, we finally made the trek down to Durant's. First, I will preface my review by stating that we did not stay for dinner. Long story short, we bailed after they brought out the bread basket. Cutting to the chase.... Cons: * Entering through the kitchen isn't the best marketing strategy when your kitchen really needs a remodel. * The entire place needs one of those remodeling shows to do a surprise make over. * Carpeted restaurants leave your customers wondering just how dirty that carpet is. * A bar tender should know the wine list, or at least be able to muddle through a question about a bottle of wine. * Bath rooms are a bit tired and need a remodel. * Wait staff needs some training, a tad way to "Denny's casual" for us. * Bread basket and vege plate need some work. If I am dropping 300 bucks for 2 people, pick up the level a bit. * Small detail, but the wine glasses and glass wear need to be updated. Nothing worse that drinking a 150 bottle of wine out of a Denny's type glass. Silver wear is also right out of an institution. Pro's: * Wine list was pretty good, with allot of great wines and reasonably priced too. I am sure we are going against the grain here with this review, but its simply how we see it. We typically have in our steak house rotation, Mastro's, Ocean Club, Bourbon Steak (Michael Mina's place), and Morton's, this place just isn't in that league. While I will admit we never even got to the dinner, I simply made a judgment call that with all that we had seen up to ordering, the food would not have been that good to over come all the cons. If your a 30, 40's or even 50's couple looking for a hip crowd and great atmosphere, note to self... this aint it. I am not a huge food critic. To me it is more important to have a great atmosphere, fun hip crowd. I get the whole "oldest power lunch steak house" thing, but eventually even the greats need to earn their keep through something other than their long lived reputation.
