Nineteen 86 Steakhouse in Arizona

"My husband and I came here for the first time on my birthday and had such a great experience. Our server Ken was very knowledgeable with both the food & drink menu. We started with the coconut curry mussels which were absolutely delicious and could definitely pass as a meal if you were to eat it solo. Then we had the seared scallops, the 18 oz Ribeye Oscar style and a twice baked potato. Since we were sharing the dishes, they ended up splitting both dishes up for us making it really convenient for us. By the time we finished the steak, we were only able to eat a little bit of the seared scallops and potatoes and ended up packing up the leftovers. Which they did wonderfully and even sent us with another set of bread service to go. Since we were so full, they even sent me home with a cute duo cheesecake/creme brulee to celebrate my special day. We really enjoyed ourselves here and everyone from the hostess to our server was very friendly and professional. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area."

"Had Christmas dinner here and it was fantastic. We did have to have reservations, but knew that in advance. The atmosphere is very nice, somewhere between a traditional steakhouse and a modern restaurant - decor was modern but still felt cozy and dimly lit. The service was nice, though possibly a little on the slow side. The food was definitely impressive. Started with a beet salad and several different types of bread and accomponyments were served. The beet salad was unique and very tasty. Main entree was a 16oz New York steak and then two more accomponyments, charred brocollini and mushrooms. The steak was fantastic. Done exactly how I wanted and the sides were really nicely done as well. Finished with a chocolate cake dessert. All together made for a very enjoyable evening. Go in knowing it will be on the pricey side but for a special occasion it is well worth it."

"My family and I went to celebrate my mother’s birthday it was such an amazing time, they were friendly, food was amazing did not disappoint, the waitresses were so sweet even to my daughter they made sure she was comfortable I highly recommend eating here"

"We booked a reservation for 715 on a Saturday. The service was good, although they were admittedly short staffed. Perfectly prepared filet. We typically stop in for a bite at their bar....we will return, but I will likely sit in the bar. Heads up- New chef. Food is great, but they eliminated their amazing butter cake. We were so sad that we passed on dessert."

"I have dined at some of the finest restaurants in the world and I put this place at the top. April was our waitress and she and the entire staff performed above and beyond. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Would have never guessed that one of the finest restaurants in Arizona was located in the Desert Diamond Casino Glendale. We will be back for sure. Outstanding job by the entire team."

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Our experience at Nineteen 86 Steakhouse at Desert Diamond Casino was nothing short of exceptional. We were celebrating a birthday, and from the very first moment, the service went above and beyond anything we expected. Aria, our host, greeted us with such warmth and genuine hospitality that it immediately set the tone for the entire evening. She made us feel welcomed, valued, and truly taken care of. Her professionalism and friendly energy were the perfect start to our celebration. And then there was Jazmine, our waitress—an absolute star. Her service was flawless from start to finish. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured every detail of our dinner was perfect. Her timing, attentiveness, and kindness made the night feel incredibly special. It’s rare to find someone who delivers five-star service with such grace and sincerity, but Jazmine exceeded even that. The ambiance was elegant, the food was phenomenal, and the entire staff contributed to a night we will never forget. Thanks to Aria and Jazmine, what could have been an ordinary dinner became an extraordinary, memorable celebration. Highly, highly recommend Nineteen 86 Steakhouse—we will absolutely be returning, and we’ll be asking for Jazmine every time! Forgot to mention our waitress handled a party of 14. Thank you a million!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Our server Kenneth was the absolute star, and that’s saying plenty for the food was amazing! Everything was perfect. Staff super attentive and our host was knowledgeable and professional. We will back soon!"

"Our group enjoyed exploring the menu on our first visit for dinner. We ordered an assortment of appetizers, salads, and meals due to time constraints with a local concert. Wish we would have arrived sooner to savor more! Presentation for all dishes was eye-catching. Everything tasted exquisite! Among our orders…lobster bisque, roasted beat salad, 8oz. tenderloin, a loaded baked potato side (all pictured). Also ordered were a beefsteak tomato salad, truffle fries, and a jumbo lump crab cake in remoulade appetizer. The only hiccup of the evening was the tenderloin served lukewarm. We think this was a tribute to the cooks starting the tenderloin too soon while the lobster bisque was still baking with its souffle top. If you order the lobster bisque, we recommend additional time between the soup course and the main meal because the bisque is served piping hot. The restaurant quickly redeemed itself by crediting the cool tenderloin. And I must mention the bread basket, which had a varied assortment of breads accompanied by a tall seasoned cracker. The bread basket was served with butter, a pesto sauce, and another sauce for options. We savored it all and will be back!"
