Description

At Bourbon Steak, the ultra-high-end steakhouse at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, managing chef Michael Mina - a James Beard Award-winner whose San Francisco-based restaurant management company operates more than a dozen upscale eateries - pushes fine dining into the far reaches of excess (for Phoenix, at least). The food preparations are utterly decadent - premium cuts of meat poached in butter, bacon fat, or olive oil, accompanied by an orgy of lobster and foie gras and roasted marrow bones - and so are the prices. This is one of the few establishments in town where you can order a Japanese "A5" Kobe steak, although seafood dishes like tapioca- crusted snapper shine as well. After a decadent dinner, dessert might seem like overkill, but trust us - they're a highlight. Besides, excess is expected at a place like this.
