Ruth’s Chris has always (for the least 15 years or so, at the least) been mine and my husband’s favorite steak dinner. Been there many times and have always recommended them as the absolute best. We have been to many other high end and highly recommended steak houses. Tonight we tried Durant’s. Wow! Wow is literally the best word I can use to describe this place. The ambience was amazing. The way you get into the restaurant had a speak easy feel to it. Lower lighting to create just a perfect atmosphere. From the bread with an amazing oil herb and mushroom mixture as an appetizer, to the amazing flavor of our perfectly cooked ribeyes. We had garlic mashed potatoes and mushrooms on the side. Even our side salads were of note with perfectly crisp lettuce delicious dressings and real bacon bits in the mix. We managed to pack in a desert. I got the strawberry shortcake and it was absolutely delicious as well. Give this place a try, you will not regret it! So weird for us to admit, but we have absolutely found a steak house that hands down crushes Ruth’s Chris. Marcello was also an amazing waiter. If I could give 10 stars I absolutely would!!! Great job Durant’s keep up the great service!!!

I really wanted to go hear and looked it up, only to see that it's temporarily closed! To confirm, I figured I'd look on street view lol

It would be nice if they had a work number to place a reservation.

What can I say? You're not in business for 70 years unless you're on top of the game. Durant's delivers! Once you walk in through the back the experience begins. Next you're in a classic retro old school restaurant. The service and ambulance matches the decor: elegant and exceptional. A must go. The food!?!? Go! Experience it for yourself. I cannot add anything to enhance the quality of the steaks coming out from that kitchen.
Pretty nice place - drink came out 20 mins late but other than that really good. Something to check out for yourself

Very expensive. I ordered a medium rare prime rib with mashed potatoes. The meat was too rare and cold, and the potatoes had no flavor. One martini for $19. Entrence is through the kitchen, which made checking in for our reservation a bit confusing.

The food was the only highlight of the visit. The service and ambience were disappointing. The restaurant is so compact with tables that you are essentially rubbing up against the tables next to you. The server we had (Rebecca) was MIA most of the evening, which left a lingering bad impression. Good thing the food was good.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner at Durant's. The food, service, and holiday atmosphere was truly special.
The best restaurant in Phoenix!
Great place for dinner, I hope open shortly.
