The Best Restaurants in West Seattle | Eater Seattle

"This Lebanese-inspired restaurant has been a West Seattle staple since 1975. An excellent evening destination, Phoenecia features balsamic-braised lamb shank, pasta and seafood dishes, pizzas, and desserts like baklava and nutella cheesecake. Add a tiramisu cocktail for a satisfying finish." - Laura LeMoon

Phoenicia exemplifies an updated vibe with respect for tradition. Gracious service, sumptuous surrounds and stellar food and drink. The saffron chicken with rice was creamy, buttery, silky, luscious. Best garlic green beans I have tried anywhere and this is one of those dishes I order everywhere I go - will go back for more of theirs. Lamb lollipops were perfectly seared - crispy edges with tender medium rare center. Fig salad was the perfect balance of flavors with berry vinaigrette lending a sweetly acidic start and palate cleanser between dishes. Rose ice cream was perfect finish to a lovely meal. Everything was fresh, original and beautifully presented. Street parking was easy - we parked a few blocks away to stroll through neighborhood admiring homes, gardens, street art and window shopping. We were once regulars, for every special occasion, at the Phoenicia at Alki location where Chef Hussein made us feel like family - Nadia and Sonya continue that proud, congenial legacy.

We had a large party with children and they were extremely friendly and accommodating! Everyone loved their entrees and desserts! The Turkish coffee was delicious! The owner displays a sweet kindness to all her patrons. We sincerely enjoyed our meal!

For those in the know, this is the new home of Phonecia, relocated from its Alki address. If you had the pleasure of dining there, be assured ONLY the address has changed. Mediterranean does not begin to do justice to the vibrant array of flavors that await. Prepare your senses to be soothed into a culinary feast. This is a modest venue; consider a reservation. The “small plates” are equivalent to an “appetizer” portion, with the precision and flavor of a gourmet entree. Having only sampled a few, multiple visits will be required to sample them all. The Kale Caesar Salad was heavy on the Kale, less the Caesar (dressing), although, generously covered with shaved Parmesan. If you enjoy Kale, this is a must. The photo features a culinary surprise: a pizza. Not just any, ordinary one, though. A coal, maybe wood fired, offering of beauty and flavor. The menu cites “spicy” salami and it IS delicious but may be strong for some. Only as a suggestion, and use your own judgement, a simple rule might be one “small plate” per two diners. If you prefer, a small plate might be an entree, and the ration could be three for two, with sharing encouraged. A full bar awaits, if you care to enjoy. The atmosphere is inviting, cozy, but can be loud due to the size of the establishment. Lively, not deafening. Parking may be a challenge ge, although, pay lots abound. Dine, dine again, and find YOUR favorite.

Beautiful ambiance, great staff, and amazing food. They made our 5 year wedding anniversary so special and we keep going back. It is absolutely one of our favorite restaurants not just in Seattle but overall. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and the food is amazing, you'll be thinking about the saffron chicken weeks later and the lamb is a dish we always return to as well, so tender and flavorful and cooked perfectly to just fall apart and melt in your mouth. Even the pizza is memorable, they do everything so well. I highly recommend starting with the sharables, they are so fresh and a perfect way to prepare for the delicious meal ahead. Ask Jeffery for a wine pairing and you'll not be disappointed, he always makes our visit even better. The family is wonderful and we fell in love with the story of the restaurant. The food is such a reflection of the history and love they put into every dish. Thank you Phoenicia!! Can't wait to see you again! :)

I can't imagine a better, more flavorful meal over a bottle of wine. They really outdid themselves, even the green beans felt special. I recommend the saffron chicken lingui and the grilled lamb chops. They were divine. Best meal I've had all of 2025. It's worth the price. Come here. My sexy, sexy ex girlfriend took me here. The ambiance of her energy, her amazing Virgo energy, enhanced the meal to new levels. Thank you to my modelesque ex. I'm a leo btw.

Came in for an unplanned dinner because so many people suggested Phoenecia. We didn’t have a reservation, and the place was packed! Thankfully, a table was just checking out as we arrived, so we were seated quickly. The table was just off the bar and had arm chairs, rather than regular wooden chairs. While they were very comfortable, they were too low for the table and thus a bit awkward… overall not a big deal though. The waitstaff were incredible, especially given how busy they were. All the staff were warm and welcoming and provided fast and friendly service. We ordered the Trio of Spreads to start; the baba ghanoush was particularly delicious. For entrees, I had the Jewel of the Ocean and my friend had the Lamb Shank. Both entrees were VERY good. My seafood was perfectly cooked, and my friend said his lamb shank was fork tender and delicious. We were both so excited to eat, I forgot to snap pictures before we dug in.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredible—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The real standout, though, was the service. Nadia went above and beyond to make our visit special, ensuring everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of great food and exceptional hospitality. This has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in West Seattle. Can’t wait to come back!

This place is incredible! To start, try the Trio Spreads and Lamb Lollipops. The service is outstanding, as the restaurant is still family-owned and operated. The owners of Phoenecia in Seattle, Nadia and Sonya Khazaal, are the daughters of the founders, Hussein and Inaam Khazaal. They are doing an absolutely amazing job carrying on the tradition of the perfect Lebanese culinary experience.

Had the best experience at Phoenecia tonight - we've lived in West Seattle for a bit and have been eyeing this place. So glad we finally got a chance to go! The atmosphere is super welcoming and trendy. We were treated with kindness from the moment we walked in. We especially loved our server Jeffrey who was one of a kind. We ordered a few different things and loved it all - - Mediterranean Gin and Tonic: Refreshing and crisp and presented in such a cute way with herbs and fruit - Lebanese Flatbread: I absolutely love za'atar so this was a hit for me. It was flavorful and not too heavy for an appetizer - Burrata: The bread that came with this was perfect as it was not too toasted but also not cold. The cheese itself was also delicious and a decent portion for sharing with a group - Kale Salad: OMG this surprised us. The combination of ingredients and the dressing were phenomenal. I would eat this everyday if I could. - Mushroom Gnocchi: Also delicious. It was a crispy gnocchi rather than saucy, which I thought was a nice change from typical gnocchi dishes I've had. The spices were flavorful and the mushrooms were cooked to perfection - Chocolate Hazelnut Cake was absolutely divine! Had a lot of texture and a hazelnut flavor that wasn't too overpowering Can't wait to be back!

It's a feast to eat here! The owners are super friendly and the staff too. We bring out of town guests here and have had just about everything on the menu. The standouts are: Lamb lollipops - The best grilled lamb chops! It's so good that you'll forget your manners and use your fingers! Tip: Ask for the salt!! It comes in a cute little container with a spoon and is a MUST to bring out the full potential of the lamb chops and other dishes like the prawns and saffron chicken/linguini. Grilled lamb chop - Basically the entree version of the lamb lollipops. This used to be served with a mushroom risotto which I liked better than the green beans pairing. Please bring that back! Fig salad - It's simple but oh so good. I'm not big into goat cheese but I gobble this up. Rose ice cream - It's a controversial one because the taste of it is literally like the smell of roses but not in a nauseating way that a lot of rose products can inflict. It's an exuberant floral flurry in your mouth. We get it with the baklava and the pairing is heavenly. The prices have gone up with inflation so we don't eat here as much but it's still on our fancy date night list especially if we want lamb chops.

The dining room at Phoenecia has a cool ambiance. It's not too casual or stuffy, it's just right for a nice meal or date night. My husband and I visited for our anniversary and were seated at a beautiful, secluded table with huge comfy chairs. We loved it! The food was really good. I tried their Lebanese flatbread and saffron chicken, and my husband had the wild mushroom gnocchi. The gnocchi was AMAZING. I can't wait to go back so I can have my own plate. The flatbread was yummy too, and I had a sparkling limoncello to drink, which was wonderful. We were really happy with everything. I also tried an amaro for the first time on our server's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did! It was a cool way to end a special meal. One thing that really impressed me was the team at Phoenecia. They all pitched in and were very customer service oriented. One of the owners was there at the front checking people in, and she'd go help clear tables and keep things moving on their busy Saturday night. It was lovely to see how much they all cared about the restaurant. I'd go here again in a heartbeat, it was a great experience. Thank you all!

I'm admittedly not a huge fan of Mediterranean food. Mostly because I don't like the olives! But this place is amazing! Minus the olives, the food was delicious! I would definitely go back, and I highly recommend it.

What a sweet little spot! My West Seattle friend picked this, knowing I was vegetarian. There were ample veggie options on the menu -- in fact, so many that we didn't know what to choose! Thankfully, our super attentive server was on top of things, recommending 3-4 dishes for two people (he suggested 3 if one of them includes a pizza, since they're sizable -- more on that in a minute!) We opted for the roasted cauliflower with lemon-mint labneh to start, followed by the fig salad. We were swayed into trying two pizzas (despite knowing it would be a lot of food) because we just couldn't decide between them! (Spoiler: for next time, you can do half-and-half.) Our server graciously coursed out our plates (and we needed it -- did I mention it was a lot of food?!) The cauliflower was solid -- though definitely recommend eating every bite with the labneh (the flavors together really sing!) Fig salad was also good, though a bit less memorable (you won't be disappointed if you order it, but it wasn't a standout dish for us). And then: the pizzas! Thankfully my +1 steered us towards the namesake pie (the Phoenecia), because this ended up being our favorite. The melding of salty (olives and sundried tomatoes) plus creamy (fresh chevre) was just spectacular. Dough was perfect. This feels like a less-traditional pizza to me (neither NY nor Neopolitan style) but we enjoyed it just the same. Our second pizza was the truffle oil and mushroom, which was enjoyable -- but again, like the fig salad, less notable, in our opinion. All in all, we really enjoyed our time at this little neighborhood gem, and walked away with a full pizza's worth of leftovers! Would happily return.

My friends brought me here for dinner and OH MY GOODNESS!!! The food is fantastic (see photos of menu and dishes). It's Lebanese but has an Italian twist - very Mediterranean. Locally owned by two sweet sisters (I met them both tonight because they were working here) with fantastic servers. I are so much: mushroom gnocchi, prawns, lamb lollipops and roasted cauliflower finished with rose ice cream and hazelnut chocolate layered cake and Turkish coffee! My friends and I had an amazing time in this gem of a restaurant.

My first time trying Lebanese food and this place was AMAZING!! My wife and I came here for a date night and decided to try a new part of seattle (West Seattle). My wife had raved about this place and I was ready to try it!! We had the lamb chops, Saffron Chicken, Saffron Rice, and Kale Caesar. I'm allergic to shellfish but my wife LOVED their shrimp also. We were actually served by one of the owners Nadia and she was one of the most amazing people we've encountered. She shared their rich history in the food industry here and of her family who started the restaurant 30+ years ago. I would HIGHLY recommend coming her if you're looking for great drinks, great Mediterranean food, and amazing customer service.

Came here for the first time as the food on the menu looked amazing. It did not disappoint. What added to the wonderful experience were the two sisters, Nadia and Sonya, and our waiter, Jeffrey. First, the highlights of the meal. The cocktails that we imbibed were Pretty in Pink and Take Me to the Beach. The visuals were amazing only to be followed by the taste of our cocktails. The trio of spreads and the cauliflower appetizer were to die for. Now for the great but some hmmms. For dinner we ordered the butternut squash risotto with goat cheese and the roasted mushroom risotto. While we loved both, the squash risotto really should have been named, goat cheese risotto topped with butternut squash. My own perception but I picture chunks or slivers of roasted butternut squash within the risotto, not simply a few pieces put on top. While this risotto was good, it was rather overpowered by the goat cheese. Followed by, wouldn't order again. The baklava. The flavor was okay, but it was dry. While one doesn't want their baklava swimming in honey, this definitely needed more of something. Also, while the ice cream had a lovely color, I felt like I was eating rose petals right from the garden. I don't know what was used, rose oil? Way too overpowering. Would I go again? Absolutely, not only for more of the same and different appetizers, but the ambiance and the genuine friendliness and caring about Phoenicia.

We arrived without a reservation, and were seated at the bar right away. Our server was attentive and resourceful. The food was fantastic, filling, and reasonably healthy. The baklava was a little bit dry but it paired well with the rose ice cream.

this was such a weird experience. my partner and i went here for a special occasion and made reservations. the ambiance of this place is very nice-but, that's if you can block out the bartender and staff legitimately yelling at each other and fighting from across the restaurant i felt like i was in an episode of kitchen nightmares. we really hoped the food would be good too, it sincerely was so. bad. my pizza was so slimy with oil it made me have "bad mouth feel" as do me would say, though the sauce of the pizza was pretty okay. there was also a lot of raw flour still on the bottom of my pizza. my partners food was shockingly mediocre- the rice he had tasted like it had actually been contaminated with chemicals. chicken was so dry. it was also such a bland dish. again, we were both dumbfounded, because we've walked past this restaurant so many times and said "man it looks fun to eat there!". holy crud it was not! from the drama occurring so openly in the dining room, to the sub-par quality of the food, i think the only thing that we did like was the lemonade by the bartender that was yelling quite a bit. he makes a good lemonade. also, every step of the process was a different server. one of the people who tried to talk to us and tell us that they appreciated us coming (i think they could tell we were quite unhappy with the circumstances), seemed genuinely inebriated while working. we were so uncomfortable especially feeling somewhat cornered at the end of our meal by a semi drunk looking server when it was so clear we wanted to leave!! all and all thanks for the kitchen nightmare lol we wont be back!

Wonderful food and drinks. The service is amazing and feels like a family community there, though I came from a job site once and kind looked like a hobo (got the side eye for the way i was dressed). Happy I tried it once and have been back many times since. They're always accommodating, even if my visits are short. Love pretty much everything. It's a date night/intimate place, imo.

Very happy with dinner here! Pizza was delicious, the dough was crusty and chewy, the squash and blue/mozzarella cheese combo was great. Also tried the goat cheese fig salad, was excellent just would like a little more dressing-which was delicious so of course I want more. The servers were really friendly and everyone came by a couple times to check in, which is always nice. Candles, a clean bathroom. Dinner and a bubbly, perfecto!

Cute place. Good for a date or a friend's night out, or even a small family dinner. The 39 spice beef was FAB. I would honestly only go back for that. The saffron chicken kabob and burrata were okay. The cauliflower dish was meh. The food is not the issue here, it's the service. The servers are nice but maybe a little too beginner? Friend got his mocktail about 10 mins before I had to tag them down for my wine. I had to remind them which wine it was. We didn't get plates until after the food arrived. It was a bit hectic. Also, an absolute no to the baklava dessert. I would remove it from the menu immediately.

This was probably one of the best dining experiences we've EVER had. We walked in on a whim and were lucky enough to be seated right away even without reservations (it was a weekday evening and there were 4 of us). The staff was so welcoming and friendly. Our server was super helpful. We really gave her full control for giving us recommendations for what to order and she REALLY delivered! Every single thing we ate and drank was sensational! Our server and even the bartender checked in with us regularly and really made us feel so well taken care of. The vibe of the restaurant was higher-end but still so cozy and warm. We were truly blown away by the food and service and would absolutely drive back out to West Seattle just to dine there again. I recommend this restaurant to everyone we know!

We were visiting from Hawaii and luckily stumbled on Phoenecia. We got the Trio Sampler, Lamb Lollipops, Saffron Chicken Linguine, Beet Salad, Fig Salad, and Margarita Pizza. EVERYTHING was excellent! Everyone raved at their choices. We will be coming again the next time we are in town. Highly recommend!

My server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food came in a very timely fashion, and all of it was excellent.

A very classy eating place in West Seattle.

The service and the ambiance were very good. The food was barely adequate considering the prices. The only small plate that I can recommend were the lamb lollipops. The grilled eggplant was cold and greasy. My party enjoyed the gnocchi and the saffron fettuccine but they were cold when they reached the table. The Arnold Palmer was bitter and undrinkable. There are so many restaurants in this area to choose from. Oops forgot the worst chocolate hazelnut cheesecake. Dry tasted burnt.

I needed a Friday night West Seattle dinner reservation for an impromptu friend date that was planned the day before. When I saw I could snag a reservation at Phoenecia on Yelp, I grabbed it. Most tables were full when I arrived and was warmly greeted at the door. The room was humming, but not too loud for conversation. I was offered a beverage right away while waiting for my friend to arrive, and went with the Strawberry Thyme Faux-jito, which was delicious. Pal and I decided to go with small plates and the Kale Caesar. From the small plates menu section we tried Lebanese Flatbread, Saffron Chicken, Tiger Prawns, Garlic Green Beans and Roasted Cauliflower. All of the portions were generous for small plates, and some dishes stood out more than others, like the juicy, well cooked shrimp and the green beans, which came with a tarragon cream dipping sauce. I liked the flatbread, which had just a dusting of Zaatar, crumbled feta and some olives. I had expected it to be more like a Maneesh (apply one of the various spellings here), but it was more like a (good) pizza dough, which makes sense since they have several pizzas on the menu. The cauliflower was the only disappointment as it was undercooked, but did come with a nice labneh that I was more interested in eating on the flatbread. The kale Caesar was meh. We had a chocolate hazelnut mousse type cake the server said was "from Italy". It was good, but I am not dreaming about it like I sometimes do about desserts. Overall Phoenecia is a solid Mediterranean choice with welcoming service in a pleasant setting.

Come for the amazing food, come back for the stellar service! Nadia and Sonia (the owners) truly have a special spot here in West Seattle. The fact you see the owners on the floor going to each table during service ensuring everyone is enjoying their meal is a great sign that they care about quality and experience. This is perfect for a date night or a place to impress an out of towner! Intimate and great music playing. I've had quite a bit of their food! Their saffron chicken pasta was great, their spiced beef appetizer was incredible, their pizza LORD was so good and absolutely delicious burrata! Great cocktails, great ambiance, great food, great restaurant!

This restaurant has been in the Seattle area for years and yet I have never been. I wish I had known about it earlier but better late than never, yea? Ambiance is a ten, food is a ten, cocktails are a ten, service is a ten, presentation is ten. The lamb lollipops, roasted cauliflower, seafood stew with saffron rice, saffron chicken linguine and lamb shank were all made with pride. You can taste it. For my birthday, they so kindly brought my dessert (baklava, perfectly sized pieces) with a candle- so thoughtful! I don't live near West Seattle anymore but I'd make the trip to dine here again. Don't miss out like I did these last years... go dine here.

Great food, great service, the worst part they can't really control in that some cars in the lot across from them have those bright LEDs that blare into the restaurant. Maybe a recommandation to have curtains to block that window during the evenings?

Stopped by for late dinner this past weekend and was very happy with our visit. Food: The menu consisted of small plates, entrees, and pizza. We decided to stick to a variety of small plates. We found that 5 small plates & 2 desserts was more than enough for the 2 of us. The food was absolutely delicious. Our favorite was the trio spread and 39 spice beef. The baklava with rose ice cream was incredible! Service: Service was great! They really do work as a team here. Jeffrey was amazing and is a big reason we'll be back (even if we live 40 mins away). Corkage fee: For those who enjoy bringing their own nice bottle of wine or just have a favorite they enjoy, the corkage fee is $25. Overall, very impressed and will be back soon!

This is my favorite place, hands down. The food is amazing. I seriously have never had anything bad from the menu. I used to come here all the time when I lived on Alki, and even years later the ladies still remember my order even though my visits are few and far between. My favorite is the trio of spreads and the saffron chicken. Make sure to ask for some extra pita!

Came here last week for Anniversary dinner and was a bit disappointed. I made a reservation through Yelp after this was featured as perfect date night, dinner night places. Its over priced and under delivered place really. We ordered the trio dip pita, lamb pizza and pepperoni pizza. Apart from the lamb pizza, the other two dishes weren't that great. I'd give this a pass definitely!

This place is a hidden gem in West Seattle. The dishes well above par. The cocktails are eclectic. Restaurant is a little more on the expensive side for the dining experience, however, the food is worth it. The restaurant is quaint and quiet for a more private experience. The servers are attentive.

Phoenecia not only has great ambiance (beautifully decorated fixtures and vibe) but the service and food are excellent. Went there for a family dinner and felt like the team there was family. They checked in on us at an appropriate level that felt warm and friendly. I ordered the truffle oil and mushroom pizza and the crust was perfect (doughy and crunchy in the right places). Our table ordered several gnocchi entrees which were delicious and beautifully plated with quality ingredients. This place can easily be located downtown but so glad it isn't.

Such a cute restaurant. It's a perfect date night spot and the food is always good. The staff is super friendly and the service is fast. The blueberry cheesecake was also phenomenal! I recommend splitting their pizzas as an app. Been here a few times and I always leave happy and satisfied.

Wow!! Everything was so delicious. Ambience was perfect and so was the service. We highly recommend the following small plates: 1 Fig salad 2 scallops 3 clams 4 trio spreads 5 baklava 6 Turkish coffee This family owned business understands what it means to service authentic Lebanese food and to create a family feel with its terrific hospitality.

Decided to venture out and try a new place not around my hood and it did not disappoint. I came here with a few girlfriends and we were all really impressed. We ordered the trio of spreads and it was great! Perfect start to the meal. You could tell they were made freshly and the bread soft and fluffy it just melted in your mouth. My friend split the Saffron Chicken Linguini for our entree and OMG it was delicious. I kinda regretted that I was splitting it because I honestly could have ate the whole thing lol will definitely come back to have that again as well as try more items! At one point during the meal a server broke out in song singing a song from Beauty and the Beast lol Overall we had a great experience and I will be back!!

Paired with a delicious, local, white wine... we will definitely be back!!

Phoencia review: overrated Food * Flatbread was a pizza. I loved the crust but not what was expecting. * Pita served with spreads was store bought, and not good * Spreads were tiny servings and doused in oil, pine nuts overpowered flavor of babba ganoush. Could not tell which spread was hummus and which one was babba... feta spread was lackluster. * Olives were good, presentation was bad, just thrown onto a salad plate. * Lamb chops needed more salt, seasoning. * Same lame presentation and sauces with both chops and prawns. Is that even Mediterranean - arugula and a buerre blanc sauce. * Drink did not taste like a G&T, but was a pretty presentation. Service * No silverware or plates until after food arrived * Under dressed staff, dresses so short it made us uncomfortable. unprofessional * No one checked on us during meal Decor bizarre, confused, dark, medieval and luxury mixed with a side of palm tree?!

This place has such a charming and trendy interior with family pictures on the wall. Staff is always so kind and friendly. I love the lamb shank, the dip sampler and their pizzas. I've been going to this place for years and I can't wait to go back!

We moved here from elsewhere in the US so we are still getting used to how rude restaurant experiences are in Seattle, but this was next level. We spent $300 for 2 entrees, 2 salads, dessert, and a bottle of wine, and this is some of the worst restaurant service I can remember having. It took almost 45 min for us to order entrees, and the food tasted like it came from a buffet, especially the mashed potatoes. Absolutely will not visit again.

The woman owner is amazing! If you could clone her it would be an amazing place. It was a Saturday night and we had reservations but we saw others walk in and get seated. As a business owner myself, you never turn down money unless the place is already super busy and people are waiting extra long for service, food, drinks and even their checks. Food was delicious but it was an extremely long time to get our apps, entree and bill. But overall I'll be back but not on a weekend night.

Very nice experience. Perfect place for a romantic dinner. I came with a date. We loved everything but the prices, but due to the overall ambiance, you get what you pay for. I'll forsure be back.
