    Waitress said she would "Do my best" to try and write 2 separate checks for a table of 4 and we were made to feel as if we were inconveniencing her. Its not as if we were a large table, or had complicated orders. 4 Soda's 1 app, 4 entrees and 2 coffees. Stuffed mushroom was left unfinished by us. The stuffing was rather mushy and tasteless. It was obvious that it wasn't even put under the salamander to brown the top. I had the haddock, which looked like schrod, honestly. It was overcooked and partially dry. Not worthy of the menu price. Everyone else's dishes (lamb and beef skewers were delicious. Salads showed plenty of brown lettuce. Fries were spot on, as always.

    Our first time here. Main dishes were very good and warm. Side dishes were small and came out cold. Resteraunt itself could use a face-lift inside. It's a bit outdated and showing some need of repair. It's an open concept so if you're seated near a large group it can be quite noisey. It's a bit on the pricey side for overall meal and alcoholic beverages. Overall though we give it 3.5.

    We were greeted and seated immediately , and our server, Trína, was welcoming and efficient. The food was excellent; wide range of offerings exist; portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. The Phoenician, also, has a sign-up loyalty program.

    Went for dinner before a show at the venue. Allowed for plenty of time to dine before show began, but the restaurant was packed and kitchen was backed up (waitstaff should've made us aware as we would've ordered main meal at time of putting in drink order). Service was poor. Even drinks, while waiting for food, took a long time. When food finally arrived, no steak knife for steak; waitstaff said they'd get it, but took a long time while steak got cold, mashed potatoes cold, and no fries (came much later) and with a bottle of ketchup that was one scant squirt from empty. Both fries and mashed were chosen sides and ridiculous that one was cold and one not served as same time as main. Entree salad was mostly iceberg in large chunks, very few olives and feta, and watery tasteless dressing- very disappointing for the price. Staff not attentive to standard things like filling water glasses. Poorly managed and would definitely not return.

    We had a reservation so seated upon arrival. Molly our server was tremendous. Drinks and appetizers tremendous. My prime rib was cold . Wife’s tenderloin was good. Won’t get prime rib next time. Such a non taste steak for the money. Good overall. Will be back

    Food was excellent and service very good. Our server was on point. It was very busy and she was running but took care of all her tables with ease.

    Mixed review bc one meal was great (lamb chops) and one was disappointing(haddock menuire). In the early days the haddock at Bishops was a go to delicious with a wonderful butter sauce. Phoenician's version was small bland and sauce less. The lamb chops were noteworthy. I devoured them!
