Three words mean big flavor at the Fairmont Scottsdale's, Michael Mina group restaurant: DRY AGED BEEF. Without explaining the chemical process to my vegan friends, just take my word for it and recommend this place to steak lovers everywhere! Comfort food with a twist finds an Arizona chic home in Mina's, Bourbon Steak. Sirloin, Ribeye, Filet Mignon, you name it, you can get your 'carne' on here! Appetizers are served family style; meant for sharing. Try the trio of duck-ft fries. The dipping sauces alone will haunt you for years to come! Does your mouth water for mashed potatoes and mac n' cheese? Yes? You will light up like a Christmas tree after sampling the elegant and satisfying horseradish mashed potato puree or truffled macaroni and cheese. Asparagus served with orange zest and parmesan shavings is in a word, transcendent. ( I can still feel the heads of those green stalks snapping satisfyingly in my mouth!) \nAdd in an impressive wine list and the sleek, black, leather, contemporary feel of the glassy candlelight and diners are literally forking over their wallets for an experience. This venue is not for the budget minded. At Bourbon Steak you will pay for the quality and innovation proffered. My advice: pay willingly. You will NOT be disappointed! Cost is not a factor when the value of this dining room is felt full-force. Trust me, when you have eaten a 14 oz. dry-aged sirloin with the accompaniments described and then polish off a made to order dark chocolate creme brulee with homemade beignets reminiscent of Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter, you will be thanking your fairy godmother for this chance to eat like a prince or princ-ess if the slipper fits!
