| - Where do I start? It had been probably 15 years since I had been to Durant's, but the Filet still stood out in my mind as the 2nd best I have ever had (1st is at a casino in Johannesburg). When celebrating our engagement, we decided to dress up and go be classy. Durant's was the first place that came to mind.
Fortunately, we made a reservation, because the place was packed. It struck me as odd the first time I was at Durant's that you enter through the kitchen, and it still does, but whatever.
We were seated in a comfortable booth, our server was efficient and very friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I saw some of the other reviews slamming the service, but that was not the experience we had, nor that anyone seated within earshot of us had with their servers.
My filet was so good I ate it with my eyes closed. Slowly. It was an experience. The sides were good too, but wow, that filet...
The deserts were just okay, and we took ours to go.
I knew the costs of the food going in, so there was no surprise when the check came. Yes, it was expensive ($175 including tip for 2 people), but totally worth it, if for no other reason because of how good the filet was.
The ambiance is definitely Rat Pack Formal. I'm a fan of that kind of thing, so I liked it.
I will absolutely be back.
