The owners of upscale restaurants Steak 44, Ocean 44, Dominick’s Steak House and other restaurants around the country announced that they have bought the popular Chart House restaurant in McCormick Ranch but won’t be operating it for long. Prime Steak Concepts has closed the lakeside restaurant with plans to open a new concept in the Fall ’26 after demolition and complete rebuild. The new concept is still in the R & D phase with no details available currently.
“We are excited to bring a new concept and new building to this incredible location. The entire property will be re-imagined,” said Jeff Mastro. “We have been developing a great new concept and menu and are excited to share it with our community and our guests. My brother Mike and I grew up just a few blocks away in McCormick Ranch and this is the perfect place for us to do something very special that fits this iconic location.”
The announcement comes a few months after Prime purchased the iconic Durant’s Steakhouse in Central Phoenix and is giving it a refresh while keeping its vintage interior and decor. Durant’s is scheduled to open later this year. The Chart House opened in 1984 on Camelback Lake and offered views of Camelback and Mummy Mountains while serving meat and seafood and was known for its large salad bar.
Details for Prime Steak Concepts new restaurant will be shared late in 2025, and you can stay up to date for Durant’s opening and the new concept at their website.
