The story
Preston's Steakhouse sits along Pinnacle Peak Road in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has earned recognition where it counts — Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence, a distinction reserved for restaurants with wine lists that show careful selection, proper balance across wine regions, and genuine appeal for the wine-conscious diner.
The Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. Wine Spectator evaluates wine programs across thousands of restaurants globally, and Preston's earned its place on that list. For a steakhouse, a strong wine program is more than an accessory — it is the natural counterpart to quality beef, and this recognition signals that both sides of that equation are taken seriously here.
Preston's operates as an evening destination, with dinner as its focus. The Scottsdale setting, with Pinnacle Peak as a backdrop, brings a distinctly Arizona character to the steakhouse experience — open skies, warm evenings, and the kind of atmosphere that makes a well-prepared cut of beef feel entirely right.
For those who appreciate a serious steakhouse paired with a wine list that has earned independent recognition, Preston's delivers on both counts.
