Phoenicia is just classic. I’ve been here more times than one can count. After a long eight months of renovations, the doors have finally reopened! I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to bring my brother-in-law and sister for dinner last night. And of course, a phenomenal experience as always. My guests always rave about their drinks, I usually have them make me an improvised strawberry mocktail, which is very refreshing. I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu and only have good things to say about all of it. Usually I get the mixed grill and hummus with either chicken or hashwii every time I come, those are my go-to’s. And the warak enab of course, AMAZING stuff. I’ve tried most desserts as well. I love the Lebanese sundae with ice cream, fairy floss and pistachio. Always satisfies my sweet tooth. The service is always great, last night our waiter was Omar and he was very attentive and helpful. Also had a chance to meet the owners! Father and son, Sameer and Sammy Eid. Such a treat getting to know these gentlemen, heard all about what part of Lebanon they’re from, their experiences in the restaurant industry, etc. Can’t wait to return and speak with them again! The atmosphere is a nice intimate space with modern decor and windows to let a fresh summer breeze in. Always one of my top recs, be back soon!

I’ve been here several times, brunch and dinner. Grabbed brunch this morning, everybody seemed to enjoy what they ordered! My guests got two eggs any style, breakfast sandwiches, and an omelette I believe. I personally got the avocado toast with a scrambled egg and it was delicious. I also ordered a vanilla latte which took 15-20 minutes to get to our table that was boiling and very tasty! The service was mediocre this morning, not very personable, not very kind, not very attentive, etc. The atmosphere is stunning and a great ambiance for dinner! Still a go-to for me for the food and convenience.

I’ve been here a couple times, nothing special. I’ve had a the buffalo chicken pizza, the margherita pizza, cheese pizza, etc. the only thing I might stop by for every now and then is a slice of cheese maybe, it was alright. My guest and I were not fans of the other flavors, but perhaps that’s just our taste palettes. The atmospheres nice, for a pizza place. The have outdoor seating in the summer!

I’ve been here a couple times including today, and I included photos from both visits. I was assisted in setting up the reservation the first time I came with half a dozen guests. I don’t remember our waiters name, but he was Palestinian, and very friendly! He provided great service, and made it a great experience. I also received good service from my waiter today, his name is Christian. He let me pay after my cousin and I were fighting over the bill so I like this guy. The atmosphere is pretty nice as well. I had the American burger, truffle fries, with a side of mac & cheese, as well as a sweater weather mocktail, all of which were very delectable. My guest had an identical order and only good things to say! I will definitely come back here and recommend it to others for American cuisine.

I’ve been here numerous time and included photos from multiple visits including todays. Always great food as well as atmosphere, the food however is served cold from time to time and the service is decent. Most recently, I was assisted by Cecily at the bar, very sweet and creative. I asked her to make me something sweet and refreshing and she DELIVERED, amazing drink. She was by far the best service I’ve had here so far. My favorite dish is the marinated chicken. Always worth a trip especially on a Friday/Saturday night!
