I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dominick’s Steakhouse for our annual Christmas Eve celebration, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. This year, we decided to forgo our traditional chicken fried lobster in favor of focusing on the entrées, and it was a fantastic choice. I opted for the butcher's cut ribeye, and it was a standout. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to a succulent medium-rare, showcasing the quality of their meat. The marbling was generous, adding to the rich flavor and tenderness. My dining companions also enjoyed their selections—a plate of magnificent crab legs, which were sweet and juicy, reminiscent of a coastal delight. The final guest chose the Wagyu filet mignon, a dish that is consistently praised for its melt-in-your-mouth texture and exquisite taste. With such incredible entrées, we truly felt no need for dessert this time. The meal was satisfying and indulgent enough on its own. Overall, Dominick’s Steakhouse has once again proven why it’s a top choice for special occasions. Can't wait to see what next year brings!

Amazing is all I can say. Zinc is authentic French food and is spectacular. The ambience is soothing and welcoming. My wife and I are frequent visitors to France and love French cuisine. Zinc is the real deal. This was our first visit but certainly not our last. We started with the carrot starter which was beautiful and it only got better from there. My wife had the Provencal Bouillabaisse and I had the Scallops. Both dishes were 5 star worthy. Chef created an amazing taste with both dishes. The service is worthy of 5 stars. Just the right amount of touch points and knowledge. Zinc Bistro is now on our favorite Scottsdale/Phoenix restaurant list. I highly recommend Zinc. You won’t be disappointed. One item missing is the chocolate mousse authentic to France. See photo.
