- DDeVonPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoDomnick's was great! We went for a date night for 2! We got the crispy shrimp deviled eggs and the fried calamari and shrimp to start. I would say those 2 appetizers are enough for 4-6 people, it was a lot for just us 2, but at least the value is good for the price! My wife ordered the salmon, shishito peppers and corn crème brûlée. I ordered the petite filet, loaded baked potatoe and creamy spinach! The sides come on their own plate so they are easily shareable. Again though we could've gotten away with just 2 sides because the protion sizes are actually big! The loaded potatoe and the corn crème brûlée are a MUST! Service was great! We had to skip desert because we were so full but we'll be back again soon! Easily one of my favorite places now!More infoDominick's SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Scottsdale Quarter/Kierland Commons•4.9

- JJayChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 30, 2024This is now my favorite place. The location is in a beautiful area, very peaceful. Our server was Destinie, great personality, very attentive without being overbearing. The menu knocked me out with the variety and uniqueness of the food. Loved how Destinie would let us know what was homemade. The meatball sliders were tender and great and huge! The stuffed mushrooms were SO good. Hands down, the crab cakes were delicious and perfect.More infoRaven's ViewPrice: Expensive• Wine Bar• Cave Creek•4.7
