Phoenix Steakhouse Restaurants (0)
There’s a couple in every city: Classic steakhouses with bars full of top-shelf bourbon, wonderful cuts of meat and usually an outdoor patio or two. Reservations are required at least a few days in advance. They have salads to appease the pleasant few who actually go there with that intention, their true claim-to-fame lying with their entrees such as the prime rib. Phoenix is not one to discriminate and the city certainly has its fair share of great Phoenix steakhouses. This article will recommend only the best and most popular steakhouse restaurants in the entire city.
Without a doubt, Durant’s is the most popular steakhouse in the city of Phoenix, perhaps the most famous in the entire Valley. Very rarely does a restaurant gain the notoriety of being synonymous with absolute greatness, but Durant’s definitely has. Located off North Central Avenue, this restaurant is open for lunch every day of the week minus Sunday and every night for dinner. To start, be sure to check out their extensive wine list that features numerous great wines from all over California at affordable prices by the glass. All of the appetizers are great, try their Dungeness crab cakes. All of their entrees are so good it’s simply a matter of picking your favorite cut of meat. While certainly on the expensive side, Durant’s gets away with it due to its consistent quality of meat, delicious recipes and impeccable service.
The other Phoenix steakhouse that deserves a mention has to be The Capital Grille on East Camelback Road. The restaurant truly defines ‘fine cuisine’. All of their steaks are dry-aged, their seafood imported from the best ports on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and their wine list puts most other restaurants to shame. While even pricier in some respects than Durant’s, the menu is smaller and focuses on the very best of seafood, meat & sides that would make any steakhouse owner proud. If you have a group of ten or more request the private dining sections if available. Guaranteed, you will not leave The Capital Grille unhappy.
The classic steakhouse was defined in the first paragraph and both Durant’s and The Capital Grille truly go beyond the definition. Each having been named best steakhouse by various Phoenix publications alike, these two restaurants are the standard for which every other steakhouse in the region is compared. These two restaurants are masterpieces and the very best steakhouse restaurants in Phoenix.
