Carol and I, Durant’s second generation, have been blessed through the years. Now as Durant’s newest era begins, led by the extraordinary team of Jeff and Mike Mastro. With their leadership, and with the support of the Durant’s community that has walked through the famous backdoor for the last 75 years, we are confident that Jack Durant’s “Finest, Eating, and Drinking, Establishment in the World,” will continue to be the place of celebration for the most important group in our hearts…our guests, our friends, … the Durant’s Family, as The Legend Continues.”

James Beard nominated brothers Mike and Jeffrey Mastro, along with their father Dennis Mastro and business partner Scott Troilo, are proud to announce the purchase of Durant’s Steakhouse, and are excited to celebrate Durant’s 75th anniversary with the beginning of the next chapter in this legendary restaurant’s story.

When asked what it means to take over, Mike Mastro said, “to loosely quote Patek Philippe, you never own a legend like Durant’s, you simply look after it for the next generation. My family and I are thrilled with the acquisition and intend to bring a renaissance to this iconic steakhouse and expand its legendary status for generations to come.”

“It’s a privilege and honor to acquire the restaurant and to preserve its history, while enhancing its future for generations to come.” said Jeff Mastro.
