Flagstaff, Ariz. (May 6, 2026) — Zenith Steakhouse at Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort has once again been honored with the prestigious 2026 Distinguished Restaurants of North America (DiRōNA) Award of Excellence, marking the second consecutive year the restaurant has received this distinguished recognition.
Founded in 1990, DiRōNA recognizes restaurants that excel in culinary innovation, exceptional beverage programs, impeccable service, and unforgettable ambiance. Now celebrating more than three decades, the award is presented to a select group of just over 1,000 of the most renowned dining destinations across North America.
Zenith Steakhouse, the flagship restaurant at Twin Arrows, offers a refined dining experience featuring an exhibition kitchen, dramatic fireplace, and a menu that blends elevated steakhouse tradition with modern culinary techniques. The restaurant is known for serving Source Verified Navajo Beef—USDA inspected, premium prime grade, aged 35 days—alongside sustainable seafood and seasonal ingredients to create standout steaks, chops, and seafood dishes.
“This honor is a testament to our team’s passion and dedication,” said William Drexel, Food and Beverage Director of Twin Arrows. “Our goal is to create not just a meal, but an experience that reflects the welcoming spirit and culture of the Navajo Nation.”
A highlight of the Zenith experience is its connection to the Navajo Beef Program, which partners with local ranchers and suppliers to support Navajo agriculture while showcasing the rich flavors of locally raised beef.
