Phoenicia Restaurant

I’m not sure why the reviews for Phoenicia Restaurant are so terrible because my experience was genuinely good! The food was flavorful, the service was attentive, and the overall vibe was welcoming. One standout was Tony, the manager—he was awesome! He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and was so friendly that I couldn’t believe we were living in the same city. He truly elevated the entire experience. I also love that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating options, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred ambiance. The outdoor patio is especially nice if you’re in the mood for hookah, which they also offer—a great touch for a relaxing evening. If you’re craving Lebanese cuisine and want a spot with good food, great service, and a laid-back vibe, Phoenicia is worth giving a shot.

All the food was burnt and bad.a glass almost went in my hand. And the server threw the fork and knife at me and had diarrhea in the bread.

Absolutely amazing food, no questions about it. The service was friendly and fast. It could be the coldest day, and you would still not be cold. The restaurant has so many heaters all over the place. The appetizers are enough portions to be shared with 4 to 5 people on the table. Food was so delicious, perfectly seasoned on every dish. The restaurant usually has live music on the Friday and Saturday nights. Inside seating is always available, and you can smoke hookah as well. Whenever we have gone, there was no need to call to rsvp. table has always been available.

My daughter and I visited Phoenicia last Saturday night to celebrate her birthday. I chose this restaurant because I have been to Lebanon and absolutely LOVE the food and people!! We were not disappointed with the food - extensive menu, excellent presentation and value. We ordered the Mezze platter for two. We were seated inside and we were the only ones inside this very large dining venue (esp. for a Saturday night - but it may be because we arrived early). I would have tasted this restaurant 5/5 except for the lack of attentive service. After we were seated, we were forgotten about for a good while and even after our first platter was served, we tried and tried to attract the male waiter's attention to ask him if he could take our photo but we were ignored again.

Terrible Experience – Oversold Tickets & No Space to Move! On February 25, my friends and I purchased tickets for what we believed would be a VIP concert experience—an evening of music, food, and dancing featuring a well-known Lebanese singer. We were beyond excited for a night of entertainment, expecting a well-organized event where we could enjoy dinner, drinks, and dancing to live music. However, from the moment we arrived, it was clear that this event was nothing like what was advertised. The banquet hall was dangerously overcrowded—worse than a packed sardine can. We were crammed elbow-to-elbow with no personal space whatsoever. Moving was nearly impossible; knocking over glasses was inevitable. Forget about getting to the bathroom or even standing up to dance—there was absolutely zero space. The waitstaff struggled to serve food due to the extreme crowding, and we barely received enough to eat. The lack of proper service and management was appalling—no one seemed to care about guest comfort or safety. This was beyond disorganized; it was a complete fire hazard due to overselling tickets. For $200 per person, this was an absolute scam. The owner should be held accountable for the reckless overcrowding and false advertising. This experience was a nightmare, and I wouldn’t step foot in this establishment again. If you value your safety, comfort, and money, stay far away!

We LOVE Phoenicia!! My dear Armenian friends have introduced to this place and we've been several times since that introduction. Our varsity basketball program holds their banquets there and what a fabulous meal..one of my very favorites. I couldn't even tell you which dish is my fav. Absolutely elegant with attentive service. I highly recommend.

There is only one server. Server was very rude and he had an attitude. They bring the food randomly. Food was all old and tasteless. Soup was brought almost end of the dinner. There are other restaurants around. Try them out. The owner should come and look at the food quality and service.

It's a very nice restaurant, however that's all. Ordered the hummus and cucumber salad, which was $25.00 total. Food decent, but honestly, they gave me pita bread still in the grocery packaging. By the looks of the restaurant, I just expected more.
