Phoenix, AzSteak 44 had been a long time recommendation to me from a friend and when I had the opportunity to visit Phoenix, I couldn’t pass up the chance to see what all the noise was about. I came in with fairly high expectations because of the rave reviews I had heard, but it did not disappoint. The setting is beautiful. One of my favorite parts was the glass wall that divided the kitchen from the dining area. There was nowhere for anyone in the back to hide anything. It is all done in plain site. The kitchen is spotless and well organized. The food was cooked to perfection. The selection of family style sides was larger and more diverse than most steakhouses. We tried a lot of them including the chef’s signature potatoes but the corn creme brûlée stole everyone’s heart. The steak was a top of the line melt in your mouth grade A, US prime choice cut filet. They also had some wagyu options on the menu. The service was a little slow. I think we ended up being there for nearly 2.5 hours but it was worth the wait. Somehow we mustered the courage to take a peak at the dessert menu which also had a wide variety of options. The red velvet bread pudding was delicious as was the berries and vanilla whip cream but the best dessert we tried was an off the menu beignet tree that was served warm. Each beignet was covered in cinnamon and sugar and then coated with powdered sugar. After dessert they brought out fresh chocolate chip cookies for the table. It was a truly amazing experience for the entire 2.5 hours we spent there.
