The Best Classic Restaurants in Phoenix | Eater Phoenix

"Restaurant founder and local legend Jack Durant died in the ‘80s, but his pink stucco steakhouse on Central Avenue lives on, operating the same way it always has since opening in 1950. Only tourists enter through the front door; everyone else walks through the kitchen to enter a dimly lit dining room with flocked red wallpaper that conjures a 19th-century bordello. Nearly everything else about this endearing old place — including its deep tuck-and-roll booths, perfect martinis, relish trays, and charred steaks — sits so squarely mid-century you half expect to see a member of the Rat Pack wander in." - Nikki Buchanan
