- MMikePhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe have dined here on special occasions many times in the main dining room and it never disappoints. Based on recommendations from a good friend we tried happy hour in the bar (they take reservations for happy hour). First we had a couple of cocktails then we shared a small chopped salad which they split in the kitchen which is always a nice touch and finally had the famous Preston burger also split in the kitchen. Our server Jackson was attentive and very friendly. We plan to do this more often.More infoPreston's SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• North Scottsdale•4.8
