Dominick’s Steakhouse

Decided to try somewhere new for a special birthday. Nothing special, food was just alright, service okay. My husband steak was over cooked, mine was undercooked. Presentation, just a piece of meat on a plate. My son asked for a blended drink, they don’t serve blended drinks. Very noisy. Will stick to Ruth Chris next time!

We came here to celebrate my Fiancé’s birthday and it was simply a wonderful first experience. Wonderful service, amazing romantic atmosphere, and most important —the food was AMAZING.
Can’t wait to go back.

Love this restaurant! Five stars for service and atmosphere. The burrata and PB&J appetizers are both delicious. If you are to choose just one, I would go with the burrata. I ordered the chilean sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. The corn crème brûlée was sensational and the roasted brussels sprouts were delicious. The ambiance by the pool is fun and relaxing. This restaurant is worth the price if you are in north scottsdale.

This high end steak house made some hits and misses and falls short of the competition «Eddy V’s». The service was very good and mechanical, the wagoo steak was excellent but the appetizer and potato fell short. The furniture was wobbly like they bought chairs for a home and were over used for industrial use.

Friday evening. Sophisticated atmosphere but disappointing background music that makes one fell like they are in a juvenile space. What happened to the piano entertainment or quality music that sets the mood? You have now become no different then any of the other generic establishment that is all over Scottsdale. What set you apart???
The background music is… undignified to this caliber restaurant and lounge .
And one huge problem… Bartenders do not scan the bar… In a place like this I should never have to ask for service…

Always an awesome dinner experience. However, I am very disappointed by their recent music change. Instead of live music in the bar area they now play a random mix. A mix that goes all across the board from lady gaga to frank Sinatra. It is really unimpressive, please switch back to the live music or at least some sort of playlist that’s not as awkward!

We’ve been to a lot of steakhouses all over the country. This one wasn’t somewhere we would go back to. The steak was over. I found my filet a little flavorless. There wasn’t any salt or pepper on it. The atmosphere was a little strange. They were playing music from Madonna to Simon and garfunkle. Just odd. Our favorite so far in the Phoenix area is Steak 44.

If you haven’t tried this yet, it’s a must! Ask for Brad! The best server! If you love steak and good service, this is the restaurant for you!

Every time we’re at Scottsdale Quarter, I walk by and say we need to try this place. Finally, this past weekend we went for my boyfriends birthday (which was hard to do since we love Mastro’s City Hall and Ruths Chris). There is complimentary valet so we took advantage & got seated right away for our 7:30PM reservation. It was pretty hard to get to our table because there’s almost no room in between tables, but no big deal. We got a bottle of the William Hill cabernet which was very reasonably priced (I think $ 33). The bread came in 3 options — sea salt, garlic & cheese. We got the garlic and it was amazing, 5 huge rolls, but we only finished 2 & then took the rest home (would be great with some pasta Mmmm). Then for dinner we split the Caesar salad, I got the petit filet mignon (8oz), my boyfriend got a bone-​in rib eye, and then we got 2 sides: sautéed mushrooms; Dominick’s potatoes which were like potatoes au gratin. All of it was AMAZING! The potatoes were so great, and we had leftovers of everything. I would definitely come back.

Steaks are amazing. Lobster is amazing. Bread is of course amazing. BUT, hands down the best service we have ever had! My husband and I love to visit Doms whenever we have a free night. We have popped in once very dressed down while doing some Christmas shopping and I love an upscale restaurant that doesn’t care what you wear. We have always received the best service here! 6 stars from us!

When you think of a elegant and fancy steakhouse, this is a place that definitely comes to mind. They have it all, outstanding food, great customer service and a beautiful ambiance. I can’t give this place 5 stars, cause they were a little off on the food and various small details that they slipped up on. This is my 2^nd time eating here and both times were fantastic. We scheduled a reservation for New Year’s Eve. Our reservation was at 9:45, but we weren’t seated until a little after 10:00. The place has a very dark setting, but it is elegantly decorated and they have a nice bar and lounge setting. It was very busy and kinda loud, but what do you expect, it was New Year’s Eve.
Food–
The food was great. We ordered a few drinks to start and nibble on their complementary bread. We ordered the Calamari and Shrimp appetizer which was delicious. Lightly battered, and a little kick with the jalapenos and sweet peppers. My lady ordered the New York strip and I ordered the bone in ribeye. We also ordered the Dominick’s potatoes, sweet corn, and truffle fries. The steaks were flavorful and good, my steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, but it did have a lot of necessary fat on it. The sides were a little disappointing. The Dominicks potatoes were a little mushy, the corn was a little bland, and the fries weren’t hot.
Service–
The true spotlight and best thing about Dominick’s was the service. They were on point with every little request and did a great job taking care of us. The bus boy/​expeditor was assisting her and they both did a wonderful job throughout the night. Probably some of the most attentive and best service I’ve ever received in a whie. Even though the food wasn’t quite perfect, the service sure made up for it.
Overall, pretty solid experience. If you want to treat yourself and get have a great experience and good food, this place sure hits the mark. The things that kept it from a 5 star review were the little things. Reservations at 9:45 and were seated 15 minutes later, my steak was cooked perfectly, but had a lot of fat, also when you order a diet coke and they serve 10 ounce bottles, which adds up when you drink like 4 or 5 of them. I hate when restaurants do that, you end up spending like 15 bucks just on diet cokes. I know Fogo De Chao does that too. Also the sides weren’t very good, maybe we should of tried something else.
I would recommend this place.

Fantastic food and service. Our server (Tina) was tremendously helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was top notch, one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. Can’t wait to visit the area again so we can bring the rest of the family to Dominick’s.

Next to Eddie V’s, this is hands down one of the best steak houses my hubs and I have been to in North Scottsdale.
Five stars for service: water never got half empty as there was always a waiter to fill it up. Our meal orders were taken perfectly and to our liking. Friendly staff and we never had to wait for somone.
Five stars for food: My husband LOVES a good, rare filet and Dominick’s delivered exceptionally. No frills, just a perfectly cooked filet with excellent flavor. I loved my beet salad – delicious! And all our sides, including my mashed potatoes (though a little over-​salted) were rich.
Five stars for environment: Just as I expect a steakhouse to be – low, sensual lighting, beautiful light fixtures, and clean dining tables with just the right touch of elegance.
For special occasions, this is not one to miss!

Went to Dominick’s for the first time last night! My family and I shared a 32 ounce Wagyu ribeye bone-​in! It was one of the best pieces of steak that I’ve ever come across. Along with this we also tried the rack of lamb which was very tender! For dessert we tried the beignets that came displayed on a metallic tree! We loved Dominick’s and can’t wait to come back for future celebrations!

We went for Happy Hour and sat in the bar. All the bar food was good and the discounted cocktails hit the spot.
This is definitely still a hot and trendy spot worth taking a friend to!
Although the previous visit for a full meal wasn’t up to par… try the bar!

Went to Dominick’s Steakhouse for the Happy Hour and sat in the bar area. They have a fairly good bar menu for happy hour with nine or ten items for $ 10. And a $ 10 cocktail menu that had a few doubles listed and they bring you the whole shaker. We enjoyed the Steak and Gorganzola sandwhich, Fried meatballs and Calamari. The appetizers were very hearty and plentiful. Overall the happy hour menu was a real good deal. A little crowded and crazy but typical for a happy hour. The atmosphere was fun and lively and the wait staff work hard to get you everything that you need.

Best service by far I have EVER received ! The staff is very attentive, professional and yet friendly. Atmosphere is upscale, dark and awesome music. The food is beyond amazing, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. They constantly make sure you have beverage, crumbs wiped off the table and clean napkins at all times. They thought we waited to long for our appetizer and brought a free beignet donut tree after our dinner ! But before the donut tree they brought us hot wet towels to clean our hands. There isn’t 1 negative thing about this place !

My husband had a work function in Scottsdale. It was for 4 days and for 1 of the days, we were able to go to an off-​site restaurant. My husband picked Dominick’s because of the great reviews on Unilocal.We had a private room upstairs and it was called poolside dining. The «pool» was about 6 inches deep and it was a pretty decent size, where if you weren’t looking at where you’re walking, you’ll easity fall in.
Our menu was preordered so we had the following served samily style except for our steak.
Caesar Salad — Very good, I loved the dressing.
Fried Calamari — Very good, not a lot of batter and the marinara sauce was delicious
Crab Cakes — Not my favorite. It had more bread crumbs than crab.
Meatballs — I highly recommend!!! Lots of flavor and good meaty texture, it would have been perfect over pasta.
Bone-​in Ribeye — it was cooked Medium Rare and it melted in my mouth. The steak was still sizzling when it got to my table.
Sweet Peas — Delicious. it was cooked perfectly. It was crunchy but didn’t taste raw.
Lobster Mac N Cheese — Just Order, that’s all I have to say.
Sauteed Mushrooms — You can never go wrong with mushrooms!!!
I highly recommnend this place, I love it even more because it was in an outdoor upscale mall :) :) The perfect paring :) :)

I came here for a special event so maybe I’m biased, but how does this place have under 5 stars?! From the gorgeous rooftop pool bar to the mouth-​watering food, I was very impressed. Definitely one of the best filets I have ever had — cooked to perfection — and I think the shrimp appetizer is a close second on my list of favorites. I agree with other reviewers that the sea salt bread is a must-​try. but if you’re really ready to go all-​out, get the new chocolate chip brioche bread pudding for dessert!!! It is HUGE and even so I was basically licking the plate until the server finally dragged it away lol. Beautiful venue, live music, great evening!

Came here with my bro since we got a gift card for Christmas, so my expectations for the meal were low/​average. However, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate at Dominick’s and was very satisfied with the friendly natural service and the taste of the food.
Start off with the bread. They have several flavors, of which we opted for sea salt and butter. I’ll be straight with you, this is probably the best free bread I’ve ever had at dinner. The rolls are served monkey bread style in a hot cast iron pan. From the richness of the salt and butter on the outer layer to the soft bread on the inside, this was a perfect fusion of dinner roll and pretzels. Would love to try to other flavors — but unfortunately I ate three pieces by myself.
Our appetizer was the shrimp and calamari combo. Two seafoods, three sauces, one solid dish. You get a solid portion of both proteins. While the sauces are somewhat basic from ketchup to some sort of remoulade, they were all enjoyable. Gotta love the banana peppers slipped in there as well.
Now for the main attraction and the sides. My bro got the bone out rib-​eye Oscar style (crab cake, asparagus, and hollandaise) while I got the hefty bone in version. Both medium rare, and well seasoned compared to some other name steakhouses in the area.
My bro is still a little bro, so the least adventurous sides he could eat were steamed broccoli and truffle fries. With the small version of each, that should have been plenty. The broccoli was a manageable size but came with hollandaise sauce to dip (say what!?). The truffle fries seemed much bigger by comparison, and I like how neither the truffle nor the cheese was overpowering.
If you order any kind of appetizer, I would recommend one side at most for two people. Otherwise two could be fine.
I came in expecting some okay overpriced food, but honestly I loved everything here. Would love to come back on my own dime and take the family on a special occasion.
