The Phoenician Steakhouse was the best steakhouse I have ever encountered. The Service was second to none in that area. The waiter, although I may have forgotten his name, I think it was Adam, but I could be wrong, was very informed of all the dishes on the menu. (excellent Job dude). The wait time was 25 to 30 minutes tops and it was very busy. This establishment is a well run engine. The steak was out of this world. It was cooked the way I asked them to cook it. The seasoning was just right. Dessert was sinfully delicious. The restaurant was as classy as you can get for a steak house. I give them a fat 5 STARS! I live an hour and a half away from Phoenician and I will come back again and again without hesitation. Supreme job guys!

Service was friendly and quick. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection! My son thoroughly enjoyed the Fra Diavolo. Absolutely a perfect way to spend Father's Day weekend!

We finally made it in and we wondered what took us so long. Our server greeted us as if she was greeting old friends to her home. The space also felt like home. We sat near the fireplace and truly felt like guests in a friend's home. My wife ordered Rack of Lamb and I went with NY Strip both cooked medium. Each with a 1/2 lobster option. Everything was dynamite! So much food we struggled to finish our drinks, never mind dessert.

Visited while on weekend getaway with wife. Atmosphere was great, service was also very good and friendly. I ordered the tomahawk steak cooked rare, it care with broccoli rabe and potatoes. It was one of best steaks I have ever eaten! Drinks were also great and waitress was super friendly. We had a great time and will be back when in area again!

Definitely on the pricier side of dining up in the area but decent steakhouse for this side of the mountain. One of our generally reliable go to's.

Large restaurant with high ceilings fairly modern decor very friendly service. Great espresso martini the clams were delicious. The steak was as good as anything you would find in New York City even the crème brûlée was good and the wines were tasty definitely one of the best in the area.

You probably would not want to set foot in this place now if it still looked like it did in '01. I remember walking in back then and the air smelling like cigarettes (ewww), I think it had burgundy wall-to-wall carpeting, orangey color woods and bland food. Utter disgust. I even forgot what this place was called back then. Well, things have changed for the better at this steakhouse in the sticks in Phoenicia. You wouldn't have a hard time missing Phoenician at all because it's on Route 28- but slightly off to the side of the road. Its polished, light grey façade can't hurt either. The modernish design continues inside. Similar to a steakhouse style, Phoenician's got those looks too. Due to Phoenician's sheer size with a large bar area, a dining room to the right and one in the back- plus the menu variety on offer, this is rightfully regarded as a steak dinner (or seafood, Vegetarian) paradise. Our server Alfredo did not only do his job- but he was pleasant. Cocktails missed. But I'll stick to wine next time. Both our salads were wholesome- but our warm Tuna in a wonton 'bowl', wasn't raw so didn't appreciate at all the over-doneness. Hubs liked his medium 16oz NY Strip- and would've loved it even more if it had a dash of salt. My swordfish tasted delicious with a lemon-ginger sauce- but it was extremely thin and made me wonder if they had a swordfish steak and sliced it in 3. I wasn't a fan. I'd try something else next time. Phoenician left us with a stunned look on our faces- in a good way that is- especially with their new design upgrade. Plus hubs wants to return. If nothing else, this is one of those got-to-try-it-at-least-once restaurant. And if not, this is a return after return after return...

You know, Phoenicia is a small town. It's beautiful there. Who knew I would have a pretty exceptional dinner up there. I came the Phoenician and enjoyed dinner at the bar on my stay in that area. It was just three minutes away. The bartender was very friendly, and I met a regular, keeping the conversation flowing. And then to food started coming... I ordered two things, first was the equivalent of fried mozzarella, 'Panko Crusted Morzzarella'. They took this big hunk of mozz, and fried it in panko, to perfection. It was the right temperature, and just the right amount of seasoning...drizzled with a balsamic glaze. This say on a warm salad of some garden green like arugula, with several marinated plum tomatoes. It tasted like they were marinated in balsamic. (Important context, I believe balsamic and tomatoes/mozzarella shouldn't go together 90% of the time). Bringing these components together in this way, was quite delicious, and perfectly executed. It wasn't too overwhelming of a balsamic flavor, and yet the tomato and mozzarella were allowed to shine through. The cream, spicy penne with grilled chicken was also amazing. It was such a well-executed cream sauce, with just the right amount of spice, seasoning, and heat. It was hot the whole way through, and I found myself almost licking the dish (had I not been in the presence of a lady). It was an amazing food experience from start to finish and I will strive to go back (despite a 2.5 hour drive).
