| - 3 of us went tonight for the first time. They definitely have a very nice selection of spirits and wine. Will not go wrong there. Had drinks at the bar before going to table and the bartender was prompt, and courteous. Wine, Woodford neat, and a dirty martini were ordered. Good pours. For the food we started out with their shrimp cocktail. This was really good. Very good size pieces, nice and cold, and cocktail sauce came with additional horseradish to add more kick to it. Would definitely recommend. They also provide complimentary pieces of thick cut candied bacon (had at bar before table) and warm bread prior to main dishes (at table), both were very good and are nice beforehand. The server did a good job of explaining the menu in detail. She also was quick with drinks and water was re-filled in a fast manner throughout. For dinner we did a 10oz Filet, and their bone in New York. The other guest ordered a crab seafood plate, and their tomato/mozzarella/balsamic plate. He said both were good. Both steaks ordered medium rare. The Filet was perfect, however, the NY seemed slightly above that. Im not one for complaining, as it was still very flavorful. They also brought out a variety of steak knives for you to pick your preference to cut with. For the sides we did a loaded baked potato and their regular Mac and cheese. Both were great, and everything came out on hot plates. Dessert was the apple crumble dish with ice cream this was excellent. Two of us ordered coffee afterwards and came out hot and prompt with all fix-ins. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because in my personal opinion, I feel if I had to choose between B&B and Steak 44, or if someone was new to AZ and asked for a steak house recommendation, for me, it's Steak 44. This is a good restaurant though. I don't want anyone to think 4 stars is a bad thing by any means. It is 4.5, just not an option on Yelp. I tried to put as much detail in my review as possible. I took some time to read through others reviews before coming tonight, and I don't think some of the bad ones are that factual. I feel some people took it to the extreme and a lot of comments just didn't seem accurate based on our experience. The service was very good. I would definitely go back.
