The Phoenix Restaurant & Martini Bar

I came here with a party of 8 and the restaurant was more than happy to accommodate us! This was my first time ever coming here so I didn't know what to expect. The appetizers we ordered were amazing. The spinach artichoke dip was better than anything I have had before, it's just on another level from places like Olive Garden or Applebee's. The pita chips are heavily seasoned and soft with a little kick that's complimented beautifully with the dip! The dill mushrooms were really good too, I didn't think the dill was very prominent but the cheese on top was a nice touch. Not pictured was some fried ravioli one of the other guests ordered, that was also great! If we were reviewing appetizers alone this place would get 5 stars all day long! Unfortunately, where the excitement began it was slowly overshadowed by a lackluster entree and sides. The Caesar salad that came out first was just gross. It has plenty of sauce and the croutons were nice and crunchy, but the entire salad tasted like pesticide. This was confirmed by another guest at the table. The horseradish encrusted salmon was another major disappointment. The mushroom rice pilaf the salmon arrived on was very bland. The rice was cooked perfectly, there was just no flavor. I ordered my salmon medium rare, unfortunately it was very overcooked to a medium well. The horseradish crust was very subtle tasting but a nice addition to the dish, but not enough to help mask how dry the salmon was. When you're paying a premium for an entree, you expect more. My wife ordered the shrimp scampi alfredo that was actually pretty good, though it could have used a little more sauce. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. We decided to check out the martinis since it's in the name of the restaurant. I went with the Apple Fashion that is pictured, it was pretty good! The first sip was very strong, but it mellowed out slightly as it went down. Other guests in our party ordered some form of beef and we're not disappointed with their orders. On a separate note, the restroom is located down a flight of stairs in the basement and is a little sketchy, but clean nonetheless. Overall it was a positive experience. The service was great and the appetizers are amazing, but I will certainly not be ordering fish the next time I go. The drinks, in my opinion, taste delicious but are overpriced. It's definitely worth checking out at least once. I recommend this restaurant.

Had many people recommend eating there while we were in town. They weren't wrong, it was delicious. I had the salmon carbonara and it was very flavorful and a generous portion. It's going to be a nice lunch tomorrow. The atmosphere was perfect for good conversation. We invited friends that hadn't been there to eat and they really enjoyed it too....our server was very attentive, we highly recommend.....A+

We joined friends for dinner and weren't disappointed. The atmosphere was pleasant and the bartender was attentive. After moving to our table the waitress was quick and very friendly. I had the Ahi Tuna and it was excellent. The others at the table had Salmon Carbonara, Blacken Chicken Alfredo and the Chicken lettuce wraps. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was a very pleasant experience.

Wonderful restaurant with an excellent menu and atmosphere. Wait staff service is excellent and when they have a piano player it adds to the already great atmosphere. Cocktail drink selection is extensive and very good. The appetizer shrimp on the menu is unbelievably delicious and about the best we have ever had..... My girlfriend wasn't kidding when she told me how good it was before the first time I went there with her.

Good service with upscale feel. Our food was good but didn't quite meet the high expectations that we had. Beware of a 4% surcharge for paying with a credit card. I don't think they advertise that on the menu.

Okay food, I ordered the beyond burger and paid $16 for just that (I didn’t get any sides at all). I went to the bathroom downstairs during my visit and saw 3 roaches on the ground. It was understaffed for our reservation and it took a whole hour to get our food out. Not impressed at all. (Our server was nice but definitely was not stressed about us waiting forever and being the only server for 8 of us).

This is an underrated spot that is never as full as it should be. The food is always solid and the service is great. The menu doesn't change often, but it's big enough that it's not necessary. The only thing I'd like to see improve is the mixed drinks, but they are far from bad. We've been going here for years, it's a go-to.

Would have been much better if they didn't charge my credit card three times for the same meal. When I called in the manager told me. Oh don't worry it'll go away. It's been 4 days two of the transactions are still on my card.
