| - Yes, the food here -- especially the steaks -- is fantastic but what really sets Durant's apart is the amazing service. Earlier this week, my wife and I wanted to go someplace special for an early anniversary dinner. While we were thinking of restaurants to visit, she tossed out Durant's and the suggestion elicited a pretty instant "YES!" from me.
Durant's as you know, is classic old school Phoenix. Everyone from political big wigs to mobsters making time in the valley between New York, Jersey, California, Vegas, and prison made the Central Phoenix steakhouse the place to be. They still serve one of the best martinis that you'll find around. That and some quality time in their lounge should appeal to most people, at least as a one time thing.
In any case, my wife and I managed to slip in without a reservation; it was a Monday night so we weren't that worried. We both ordered the the 12 ounce top sirloin steak, which was perfection as expected.
Our server, Kevin, was the best. His easygoing friendliness was pretty great and he made us feel like rock stars. While Durant's has great desserts, Kevin was the cherry on top.
