Two words, Classic Elegance
It is so nice to sit in a restaurant and have a fully trained staff wait on you. The staff is exceptional. I don't think any of their wait staff is under the age of 40. Which is great. I hate when we ask for a drink recommendation at other places and we hear "I don't know, I'm not old enough to drink, Or we hear, I don't know me and my friends usually just order shots".
The decor is hasn't changed since it opened 40+ years ago. There are no windows in this place and you enter from the back, though the kitchen. We have been here a few times and Durants has never disappointed. The complimentary relish tray is first to make it to our table. I think I can still taste the green onions on my breath. The calamari is some of the best we've had here in Phoenix. Very fresh. The salads are also some of the best we've had. We both had steak which was very good. We ordered a ton of food, however the pace at which they time the courses are perfect. Price is a bit steep we walked out dropping about $200. That included drinks, apps, entrees and desserts.
