    The Phoenix was an excellent dining experience. It’s is upstairs so you have a nice view (there is an elevator). The service was just perfect (Zachary) as he was present but never overbearing. He was professional but also joked with us. The food was worthy of a return trip! We started with Royalty cocktails that were very refreshing. We had stuffed jalapeños for an appetizer and then our dinner salad that was mixed greens, roasted pears, dried cranberries, feta, glazed walnuts and champagne vinaigrette. It was a welcome change from iceberg lettuce and tomato. Even their dinner rolls were special. My husband had the Ribeye with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables with garlic-herb butter. I had the Steak frites. We saved room for dessert and shared a butter pound cake with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. It was amazing! The portions were generous and we had leftovers to take home. We will be going back soon to try some of the other dinner choices that include seafood, pasta, and even some casual options such as burgers and sandwiches. The Phoenix is a gem of a restaurant and we highly recommend it!

    Loved our second experience at Phoenix! We were celebrating the anniversary of our first date 32 years ago. Our wait staff, Ethan, was wonderful, professional,helpful and entertaining. He made the night extra special and by the way the food was delicious. We can’t wait to return.

    Seems like there’s no order or organization. we sat 7:45pm, they were kinda full, not busy, waitress didn’t attempt to take any type of food order till almost 9. They had no clue wha table ordered what. They just kept walking around with food on tray asking each table what they had ordered. When food arrived my teriyaki salmon plate was BARELY warm. While my wife’s plate was so hot it was as if it was just removed from a microwave. Took another 20 minutes to get a soda. Us and 2 other tables all had to put our hands up to catch the attention of the wait staff. Just seemed like chaos. Won’t be returning

    Normally a quiet and lovely restaurant. Always noisy (intentionally and for good reason) on Tuesdays, when a free jazz concert is performed. Restaurant is just as lovely as usual with the added entertainment. Always a great experience.

    Dined at the Petroleum Club on 12-11-24 for a holiday dinner with a group of eight. Made reservations 2 months ahead of time. When we arrived our table was in the Bar as there was a Rotary function in the dining room. I chose this restaurant specifically for the ambience of the dining room, not to sit in the bar. I’m really disappointed the restaurant didn’t contact me about their large party so I could have gone to a restaurant and not have to sit in the bar. Food wise, I had steak frites which was very tough and inedible. Another party ordered a filet rare and was served well done and had to wait for another steak. Overall not a good experience for a holiday get together.
