    Phoenix City Grill is a great spot for a business lunch or entertainment. Its one of several interesting places in the area that do not look like much from the street, but are a great treat once you are there. The staff understands how to work around your conversations and never rushes you. The food is the best part. Simply delicious.

    My wife and I love the PCG! It has great atmosphere, the food is delicious and the service is friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. They often have a halibut special and it's always great. This time we had the pork tenderloin and the crispy eggplant sandwich. We started with the ribeye share plate. All were very, very tasty. Highly recommend the PCG!

    The food was excellent. A diverse menu that includes good "home cooking" favorites and plenty of unique and interesting items. The brussel sprout hash was superb - an intriguing blend of flavors and textures. The short ribs were tender and flavorful, and the portion size was hardy. The flourless chocolate torte was tasty - deep chocolate flavor and not overly sweet - the perfect ending to an excellent meal. The service was great! Our waiter, Sasha, was attentive and efficient. He was knowledgeable about the restaurant and the entire menu. He has a wonderful personality, and he made our time at the Phoenix City Grill an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

    We celebrated a friend's birthday. PCG is one of her favorite restaurants as it is for the other 2 who joined us. It is one of my least favorite because I can't tolerate hot spicy food, & there was very little on the menu that didn't have some form of hot spice in it. I did enjoy the hamburger once the hot stuff was removed - it was big & juicy & done just right. For dessert, the bread pudding was delicious.

    We ordered the restaurant week menu instead of from their regular menu. The first and second courses are great. The third course (dessert) is only sundae & no other choice. It is still tasty but wish they have the bread pudding added on the 3rd course list. We would have chosen it even there is an extra charge. Service is fast but not rushed. The PCG is truly a gem in the neighborhood!
