Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Desert Ridge

Excellent experience all around! The food was AMAZING and equally matched by the quality of service, ambience and ease of making an advanced reservation. Highly recommend! Although we did not use it for our party of four, they have a beautiful private dining room for business / private events too!

Our waiter Austin was fantastic! Not only keeping everything running along with dinner, but engaging and laughing with us. He has a gift for seeing people and how he should engage with them, ie; serious or fun dining. Very prompt and always stopping by in case we needed something we didn’t ask for at first. I’d request him next time I dine there.

We went for a Christmas celebration date night and we were not disappointed- we were seated right away in a romantic location with prompt and almost frightening friendly service. I did get a cocktail that was totally disgusting, but that was probably my fault for going out on a limb- everything else was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. We will make going here a holiday tradition!

The Italian daughter is always a go to for us so when a spot opened up on Christmas Eve we grabbed it. The food was excellent as always - Corn Risotto with Scallops was especially delicious. The only drawback tonight was our seating, way in the back, in a corner. We typically prefer the bar or lounge area. The service was good but obviously it was a very busy night. Merry Christmas !

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dominick’s Steakhouse for our annual Christmas Eve celebration, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. This year, we decided to forgo our traditional chicken fried lobster in favor of focusing on the entrées, and it was a fantastic choice. I opted for the butcher's cut ribeye, and it was a standout. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to a succulent medium-rare, showcasing the quality of their meat. The marbling was generous, adding to the rich flavor and tenderness. My dining companions also enjoyed their selections—a plate of magnificent crab legs, which were sweet and juicy, reminiscent of a coastal delight. The final guest chose the Wagyu filet mignon, a dish that is consistently praised for its melt-in-your-mouth texture and exquisite taste. With such incredible entrées, we truly felt no need for dessert this time. The meal was satisfying and indulgent enough on its own. Overall, Dominick’s Steakhouse has once again proven why it’s a top choice for special occasions. Can't wait to see what next year brings!
