A landmark Scottsdale restaurant site is about to begin a new chapter.
James Beard-nominated brothers Michael and Jeffrey Mastro today announced Legacy Prime Reserve Steakhouse, an approximately 14,000-square-foot steakhouse, planned for 7255 E. McCormick Parkway in Scottsdale — the former longtime site of Chart House. The restaurant is expected to break ground before the end of the year.

Few locations could mean more. In the early 1980s, the brothers grew up just a block away on 75th Street, and this site was part of their everyday lives long before it became part of their careers. Decades later, they are returning to the very neighborhood where they were raised — now with a third generation at their side. Building a restaurant steps from where it all began, alongside their father, Dennis Mastro, and sons Zach, Jake, Nicholas and Dominick, brings the story full circle in a way that no other location ever could.
Legacy Prime Reserve is something new, a concept that stands entirely on its own while complementing the restaurants that came before it. It’s an “and,” not an “or.” Guests can dine at Legacy and at Ocean 44, Dominick’s Steakhouse or Steak 44 in the same week and enjoy something different each time.
“This isn’t about recreating something we’ve already done. Legacy is something new for us — a different kind of concept, and one we hope feels right at home here where we grew up,” said Jeffrey Mastro.
At the heart of Legacy Prime Reserve is a refined culinary experience centered on the finest prime steaks and premium cuts, carefully selected for their marbling, tenderness and flavor. The steak is complemented by an entirely new collection of signature dishes created exclusively for Legacy Prime Reserve.
The culinary experience at Legacy Prime Reserve will extend well beyond the traditional steakhouse menu. Guests can expect an entirely new collection of signature dishes. Among the anticipated highlights are Beef Carpaccio Prosciutto di Parma, a curated Wagyu tasting menu, salt-crusted whole branzino and Maine lobster fried rice. Each dish has been thoughtfully developed to showcase the restaurant’s distinctive approach to classic steakhouse dining. From exceptional prime cuts and fresh seafood to inventive interpretations of timeless favorites, the menu will introduce an entirely new culinary identity exclusive to Legacy Prime Reserve.
“For us, Legacy is about the complete guest experience,” said Michael Mastro. “It starts with the cuisine — some of the finest Prime steaks available, outstanding seafood and an entirely new collection of dishes created specifically for Legacy — but it’s just as much about the hospitality, atmosphere and overall environment of the restaurant itself, which we’ve designed exclusively for this one-of-a-kind location. We’ve spent a lifetime in this business, and our hope is that every part of the experience comes together in a way our guests feel the moment they walk in.”
If the cuisine is new, the setting is like nothing else in the Valley. The building has been conceived as a true one-of-one — a destination defined as much by where it sits as by what it serves.
Perched on the water, the restaurant will feature a dramatic glass dining room, with expansive walls of glass framing breathtaking views across the lake of Camelback Mountain. At night, the signature dining space is envisioned as a glowing “jewel box” on the water — luminous from the outside, immersive from within, and designed to make every visit feel like an occasion. With seating for roughly 400 guests, Legacy Prime Reserve is intended to be a singular Scottsdale landmark: a one-of-a-kind setting that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else.
The name carries two meanings. Prime Reserve speaks to the restaurant’s commitment to offering the very best of prime. Legacy speaks to something deeper — three generations, deep Scottsdale roots and decades in the restaurant industry, brought together steps from where the story began.
The former Chart House building has been fully demolished to make way for the ground-up development. Legacy Prime Reserve is expected to break ground before the end of the year.
When complete, Legacy Prime Reserve Steakhouse will usher in a new era for one of Scottsdale’s most recognizable restaurant sites — and create a new legacy in the neighborhood where their lives here in Arizona started.
Legacy Prime Reserve Steakhouse will be located at 7255 E. McCormick Parkway, Scottsdale, AZ 85258, on the corner of Scottsdale Rd and McCormick Parkway. For more information, visit https://legacysteakhouse.com.
