We were here years earlier, shortly after moving to Phoenix to see what it was all about. Our impression then was so-so, but not worth writing about. Food was OK, but not good enough to draw us back. Friday night we attended a birthday for a friend of ours, and while we dine out frequently, including several higher end restaurants (Razz's, Caffe Daniel, Different Point of View and Urban Vine), were a bit taken aback by the steak prices. My 8 oz. Filet was OK, and thankfully cooked properly at medium rare. When I requested steak sauce, the server offered A-1 and another major brand of bottled sauce, as well as their own peppercorn sauce. While I am well aware of rising beef prices - although $55 for an 8 oz. filet seemed on the high side - I was not aware that pepper prices had risen as well. Sorry, but $4.50 for peppercorn sauce to accompany a $55 steak was outrageous. It was not any better than the bottled Fresh and Easy brand sauce I use at home. Other fine steak purveyors in Phoenix provide such accompaniments as part of the entree, which frankly one expects - especially at Durant's prices. Such nickel and dining of patrons has no place at a fine dining establishment. Ambience was unchanged from our visit in 2005 - not unpleasant, but quite dated.
