“ The food and service was excellent. The manager of the restaurant was pleasant and attentive to our needs. ”

“ First time eating here, very impressed with friendly service, and food choices. I wasn't familiar with some of the dishes but described in English very clearly and I loved my choice of Chicken Shawarma DJAJ. The rice was cooked perfectly, the chicken dish very flavorful. The pita bread and hummus so good. ”
“ Simply amazing! Yes, you should eat here. I ordered the Fatteh Bel Ghanam (lamb), falafel, and baklawa for takeout. Portions are generous. The lamb was tender and flavorful. Falafel was good, and the baklawa sooo good, definitely worth getting it. ”
“ Our latest stop at Phoenician Taverna was nothing short of amazing with our waiter Gary. He recommended food for us to try throughout the menu and a bottle to pair. Gary was very kind, funny and taught us some about Lebanese culture. It was busy on Saturday night, but Gary made us feel like we were the only ones there! My boyfriend and his family have been coming to the Phoenician for over 10 years - the quality and consistency is superb. They have been so quick with the food recently! If you want to be in and out, you can. But if you want to take your time and enjoy the ambiance, it's possible too. When you make your reservation, ask for Gary and tell him you saw the review on yelp! My star rating: 5 - must go!!! 4 - liked it, give it a try! 3 - it was alright 2 - I probably won't go back 1 - turnaround and run ”
“ I ate here as part of a group of 10, and had a fantastic experience. The ambiance was very sophisticated and luxurious, and the Lebanese offerings were authentic, and flavorful -- a real sensory festival for the taste buds! I loved the Manakish B'Jibne (cheese flatbread), which seemed to be like a spicy Lebanese version of pizza. The Fatteh Bel Ghanam (traditional yogurt lamb dish) was absolutely perfect -- the lamb was so tender, and the spiced yogurt sauce gave the dish a cooling kick! All the breads were home-made in-house, our server was wonderful, and the owner came to the table to visit, and to explain the repasts in front of us -- specifically what you dip into what. Everyone was thrilled with their meals -- they experienced, tasted, and left feeling pampered and satiated. Strongly, strongly recommend this establishment, as it's the whole package!! ”
