| - Had a lovely evening with friends at Durant's. When you enter you go through the kitchen and all the kitchen staff greet you warmly.
The interior is as other yelpers note, a nod to the rat pack era, with dark accents, tufted back couches, and lush red wallpaper. It has a very unique feel that you don't really see in Arizona, where most businesses are so new that everything looks more modern.
When we were seated we were served a chilled crudite platter and bread with a flavorful leek-garlic mixture. After browsing through the menu I went for the 12 oz prime rib (~$38) and I also tried some of the rib eye. The prime rib is some of the best that I can remembering eating. It was so tender, flavorful, and juicy. Cutting through the meat was like cutting through butter it was that tender. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and very flavorful.
We ended our meal with a divine strawberry shortcake. It was the perfect amount of sweetness, creaminess, fruity flavor, and definitely a big plate so it was good that 4 of us were sharing it!
Service was impeccable as drinks were refilled constantly, our server was warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu, and a manager even stopped by to chat with us.
If you ever want to indulge in a perfect steak, this is the place to be.
