- NRNancyRvipChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were seated in the dining room Unfortunately there was a large round table of 15 seated in the middle of the restaurant. They were so loud that the 4 of us could not have a conversation Our waitress was kind enough to move us to a table in the back. My suggestion if you have large numbers at one table you should put them in the back of restaurant so that they don’t Disturb the entire restaurant.More infoPreston's SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• North Scottsdale•4.8
