The Phoenician - Haverhill

For what food they had left to serve it was excellent. No clam chowder. No lamb skewers no chocolate cake but what we had was tremendous. Drinks terrific. Server as efficient and professional as you're going to find.

I was a frequent fan of Bishop's. So I decided to give the Phoenician a try. Not the same,but similar. Prime rib over the top,but the au jus salty. My baked potato was cold. Salad was crisp and cold. My lamb chops a little too done for medium. The French fries were spot on. I am surprised they did not offer baked Kibbeee (sinea), or Toum (garlic sauce). I was surprised it wasn't busy. But only two servers!! Need more marketing!!

We’ve been a few times over the last 20-ish years. We’ve had my grandparents 50th and 60th wedding anniversary dinner there where there’s 40-ish of us. The service is always amazing, everyone is so nice and the food is phenomenal! The prime rib is the best but the seafood is also amazing! It’s a real treat every time we go!

We don't think we'll be visiting Phoenician again. The past few times we've eaten there, our food has always been cold or just slightly warm, and we didn't want to pose another problem to our kind waitress who was overloaded with work this past Mother's Day. I could understand if this just happened on a crowded special occasion like the Mother's Day holiday, but we find it's happened to us at every visit. Other drawbacks....the jumbo shrimp were more like medium size, and they only offered Baked Alaska as the dessert. Excuse me? Nothing chocolate on Mother's Day? The visit was certainly not worth what we paid for a family of 4.

Just threw a surprise party there with 65 people. Food and staff were absolutely phenomenal! We definitely picked the right venue. All our guests raved about “The Phoenician.” So grateful to this restaurant, for pulling off an amazing, unforgettable day.
