  • “Phoenicia sneakily has a phenomenal ribeye, great French fries, and the best ribs I’ve ever had.”

    — Helirealtor, September 15, 2026 · google

  • “Phenomenal Lebanese food! We were craving Lebanese & were thrilled to discover that Phoenicia would seat us around 4:45 PM and let us order from the dinner menu, so if you’re in the area and want an early dinner, it’s definitely worth as…”

    — Western Wanderer!, September 14, 2026 · google

  • “Dirty floor, dirty tabletop, dirty silverware, dirty plate. Food insipid and carelessly prepared. What a change from just three years ago. Red headed guy in suit (manager? owner?) loitering in dining room, oblivious. Will not return.”
