Luminarias at Desert Botanical Gardens

December 19, 2007 - 7:59pm

Saturday night I surprised Chris with a visit to the Desert Botanical Gardens for Las Noches de las Luminarias. We had a great time walking in the garden and listening to all the musical performers. It was the perfect event to get into the holiday spirit.

We finished up the night with a lovely dinner at Durant's. Durant's is a Phoenix icon that I've been looking forward to visiting for years. The steak left a bit to be desired (at $40 it should have been the best steak I've had in years), but the service, atmosphere, and crab macaroni and cheese made up for it.

Leslie, I totally agree - Durant's is very red! And I kinda felt like we went back in time and could have been part of the Rat Pack. We'll definitely be going back again.

I've been to Durant's -- the reddest restaraunt in town! Your pics do that redness justice. I didn't have a steak. When my friend took me there, it was so we could (a) have mighty martinis (b) nibble enormous stuffed olives (c) pretend we were in the Rat Pack. It's the best "I'm Dean Martin" place ever.
