The Mastro family, renowned restaurateurs in Arizona, have taken over the historic establishment, aiming to preserve its classic charm while introducing subtle enhancements.

Patrons will still enter through the bustling kitchen, a signature feature of Durant’s since its inception in 1950. The interior boasts refreshed red-velvet booths, updated lighting, and a polished bar area, maintaining the restaurant’s vintage appeal. Additionally, the private dining room, closed since the 1970s, has been reopened to accommodate guests seeking a more intimate dining experience.
