Love this family and this place. I have enjoyed everything I've ever had here. We even brought our Italian friends and they raved about it.

Somehow we didn't try this restaurant before COVID - but we have now. Ordered delivery - everything was packaged very well. The saffron chicken was just as good as everyone is saying - very tender and flavorful. We also got the three dips - the baba ganoush had a lot of depth and complexity. The fig salad had the perfect amount of "stuff" to greens and the truffle pizza reminded me of why truffle oil was so trendy a few years ago - it really condenses the flavor on a puffy crust. Can't wait to go in person post COVID! read more

Amazing inclusive menu in the heart of West Seattle. Are you gluten free? Vegetarian? Muslim and can't eat pork but love lamb? You have PLENTY of options here. We eat too much processed flour based food anyway. Everything here feels real, chef made, and tasty. The cocktails are great as well. Don't miss the lamb rack with the best risotto I've ever had. The lamb shank and Turkish coffee martini were also delish. Big menu, great ambiance, would return! read more

When we arrived and I parked I wasn't sure what to expect... It's on a side street in West Seattle. You walk in and it's a super cozy ambience. The food was delicious and the staff extra helpful. I cannot believe I forgot to take a picture of my pizza...I got fig and pancetta!! Added balsamic glaze and it was to die for!! Paired with a delicious, local, white wine... we will definitely be back!! read more

Cute place. Good for a date or a friend's night out, or even a small family dinner. The 39 spice beef was FAB. I would honestly only go back for that. The saffron chicken kabob and burrata were okay. The cauliflower dish was meh. The food is not the issue here, it's the service. The servers are nice but maybe a little too beginner? Friend got his mocktail about 10 mins before I had to tag them down for my wine. I had to remind them which wine it was. We didn't get plates until after the food arrived. It was a bit hectic. Also, an absolute no to the baklava dessert. I would remove it from the menu immediately. read more

Love this place! The food is delicious, the people are super nice and friendly and the vibes are great. Everyone I take here loves it.

The woman owner is amazing! If you could clone her it would be an amazing place. It was a Saturday night and we had reservations but we saw others walk in and get seated. As a business owner myself, you never turn down money unless the place is already super busy and people are waiting extra long for service, food, drinks and even their checks. Food was delicious but it was an extremely long time to get our apps, entree and bill. But overall I'll be back but not on a weekend night. read more

Wow, fantastic Mediterranean place to eat. Awesome service, I love the wsy they all took care of tables and all pitched in. Awesome. The appetizers and Dinner was amazing. Our son and my hubby loved this place. The Bruje Royal Drink was do refreshing, hubby had Paper Plane bourbon drink, Son had a Night Shade drink with Rye Whiskey. Very nice restaurant. So loved the staff. Sooo delicious read more

Had the best experience at Phoenecia tonight - we've lived in West Seattle for a bit and have been eyeing this place. So glad we finally got a chance to go! The atmosphere is super welcoming and trendy. We were treated with kindness from the moment we walked in. We especially loved our server Jeffrey who was one of a kind. We ordered a few different things and loved it all - - Mediterranean Gin and Tonic: Refreshing and crisp and presented in such a cute way with herbs and fruit - Lebanese Flatbread: I absolutely love za'atar so this was a hit for me. It was flavorful and not too heavy for an appetizer - Burrata: The bread that came with this was perfect as it was not too toasted but also not cold. The cheese itself was also delicious and a decent portion for sharing with a group - Kale Salad: OMG this surprised us. The combination of ingredients and the dressing were phenomenal. I would eat this everyday if I could. - Mushroom Gnocchi: Also delicious. It was a crispy gnocchi rather than saucy, which I thought was a nice change from typical gnocchi dishes I've had. The spices were flavorful and the mushrooms were cooked to perfection - Chocolate Hazelnut Cake was absolutely divine! Had a lot of texture and a hazelnut flavor that wasn't too overpowering Can't wait to be back! read more

Some of the best tapas plates, salads, pizzas. And the best customer service in the city. Intimate, cozy, and the best ownership with Nadia, Sonja, and their lovely mom, Enam. What a legacy in the junction. Been going for years and really never enough. Just love the experience. read more

Stopped by for late dinner this past weekend and was very happy with our visit. Food: The menu consisted of small plates, entrees, and pizza. We decided to stick to a variety of small plates. We found that 5 small plates & 2 desserts was more than enough for the 2 of us. The food was absolutely delicious. Our favorite was the trio spread and 39 spice beef. The baklava with rose ice cream was incredible! Service: Service was great! They really do work as a team here. Jeffrey was amazing and is a big reason we'll be back (even if we live 40 mins away). Corkage fee: For those who enjoy bringing their own nice bottle of wine or just have a favorite they enjoy, the corkage fee is $25. Overall, very impressed and will be back soon! read more

I had a really wonderful meal at the Phoenecia. It serves and interesting combination of pizzas and small plates--but works well. They have a great wine list--I ordered a great Walla Walla Vinters Cuvee. I started with the trio of spreads--hummus, labneh, and baba ghanoush. This was served with warm pita. All the spreads were great, but my favorite was probably the hummus. They all had really good flavor. Next was the saffron chicken. This was absolutely delicious and the sauce was incredible. The chicken was cooked perfectly. I ordered some extra pita bread just to be able to sop up the saffron sauce it was so good. Next, I had some of the garlic green beans. The beans were really fresh and the garlic was not overpowering. I ended with the lamb chop lollipops. There were just two on the plate, but these were fantastic. They were flavored and cooked expertly. read more

I came here for the first time today at the invitation of an acquaintance. The car is street parking near the restaurant. And at the restaurant you need to wear a mask and show your vaccination card. It is cold near the entrance every time customers come and go. If you're cold, I recommended to sit in the back of the room. When I entered the restaurant, I was impressed by the wonderful atmosphere. Our reservation was at 5:45pm, after sooner full of customers. First we ordered Tiramisu Cocktail : Dark rum, espresso liqueur, Borsci amaro, mascarpone cheese, and coffee. Seasonal Cocktail called Champagne Revolution: Champagne, ginger, gin, lemon, prosecco. Both Cocktails are yummy and easy to drink. Small plate for Lamb Chop Lollipops: Grilled with fresh rosemary garlic butter. Manilla Clams: Steamed with garlic, herbs, white wine, and a touch of red sauce. Eggplant Lamb Ragu: Tender roasted eggplant topped with lamb ragu, mozzarella, and pine nuts. Fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes and basil nestled adtop fresh basil oil. ***Three to four small plates would be the equivalent of one entree volume. So we chosen 2 entries for 4 people. One for Balsamic Braised Lamb Shank: Rich, balsamic-braised lamb shank is served with roasted potatoes and creamy garlic kale. Lamb was so tender and delicious. Highly recommend it. Second entry for Spaghetti Squash - vegetarian: Spaghetti squash sautéed with shallots, garlic and basil, served with with a robust tomato sauce, and topped with freshly grated pecorino cheese and sunflower seeds. Good taste. We ended up with Turkish coffees and Turkish Affogato: Turkish coffee poured over your choice of vanilla or rose ice cream. Add biscotti liqueur for an additional. Fiery Lamb and Chevre Pizza was taken home. *All the food was delicious and I had a great time. Thank you for good service. We will come again. read more

Great food. Pizza crust is awesome. Good service, but they got a bit busy and seemed to really slow down and the kitchen got confused. Seems like a one off from what I've heard from others. Will definitely go back. read more

Amazing meal--Lamb Shank--gorgeous! Love the staff here, they always make you feel welcome! I love having them in my neighborhood.

The food is mediocre, bland, and uninteresting. The service was average. The ambiance is the best thing going for this place. Unfortunately the food lets it down. read more

We had a lovely weekend dinner at Phoenicia! Excellent place for great Mediterranean meal and classy experience.

Decided to venture out and try a new place not around my hood and it did not disappoint. I came here with a few girlfriends and we were all really impressed. We ordered the trio of spreads and it was great! Perfect start to the meal. You could tell they were made freshly and the bread soft and fluffy it just melted in your mouth. My friend split the Saffron Chicken Linguini for our entree and OMG it was delicious. I kinda regretted that I was splitting it because I honestly could have ate the whole thing lol will definitely come back to have that again as well as try more items! At one point during the meal a server broke out in song singing a song from Beauty and the Beast lol Overall we had a great experience and I will be back!! read more

We stopped by last week and had a wonderful evening. Rather than picking entrees we shared a variety of small plates. It was a super busy night, and our server Joe took good care of us despite the amount of people there. The food was delicious, especially the trio of dips with pita, lamb lollipops and fig salad. Such a cozy intimate experience! We weren't in a rush so although the dishes came out one at a time, no worries for us. We loved it and will be back again soon read more

I needed a Friday night West Seattle dinner reservation for an impromptu friend date that was planned the day before. When I saw I could snag a reservation at Phoenecia on Yelp, I grabbed it. Most tables were full when I arrived and was warmly greeted at the door. The room was humming, but not too loud for conversation. I was offered a beverage right away while waiting for my friend to arrive, and went with the Strawberry Thyme Faux-jito, which was delicious. Pal and I decided to go with small plates and the Kale Caesar. From the small plates menu section we tried Lebanese Flatbread, Saffron Chicken, Tiger Prawns, Garlic Green Beans and Roasted Cauliflower. All of the portions were generous for small plates, and some dishes stood out more than others, like the juicy, well cooked shrimp and the green beans, which came with a tarragon cream dipping sauce. I liked the flatbread, which had just a dusting of Zaatar, crumbled feta and some olives. I had expected it to be more like a Maneesh (apply one of the various spellings here), but it was more like a (good) pizza dough, which makes sense since they have several pizzas on the menu. The cauliflower was the only disappointment as it was undercooked, but did come with a nice labneh that I was more interested in eating on the flatbread. The kale Caesar was meh. We had a chocolate hazelnut mousse type cake the server said was "from Italy". It was good, but I am not dreaming about it like I sometimes do about desserts. Overall Phoenecia is a solid Mediterranean choice with welcoming service in a pleasant setting. read more

Absolutely one of our favorite restaurants not just in Seattle but overall. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and the food is amazing, you'll be thinking about the saffron chicken weeks later and the lamb is a dish we always return to as well, so tender and flavorful and cooked perfectly to just fall apart and melt in your mouth. Even the pizza is memorable, and the sharables are so fresh and a perfect way to prepare for the delicious meal ahead. Ask Jeffery for a wine pairing and you'll not be disappointed, he always makes our visit even better. The family is wonderful and we fell in love with the story of the restaurant. The food is such a reflection of the history and love they put into every dish. Thank you Phoenicia!! Can't wait to see you again! :) read more

Wonderful food and drinks. The service is amazing and feels like a family community there, though I came from a job site once and kind looked like a hobo (got the side eye for the way i was dressed). Happy I tried it once and have been back many times since. They're always accommodating, even if my visits are short. Love pretty much everything. It's a date night/intimate place, imo. read more

I recommend splitting their pizzas as an app. Been here a few times and I always leave happy and satisfied. read more

great birthday dinner. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Lamb Shank was exceptional as was the. chicken dish. We'll return soon!

Great food, great service, the worst part they can't really control in that some cars in the lot across from them have those bright LEDs that blare into the restaurant. Maybe a recommandation to have curtains to block that window during the evenings? read more

Wow!! Everything was so delicious. Ambience was perfect and so was the service.

Phoencia review: overrated Food * Flatbread was a pizza. I loved the crust but not what was expecting. * Pita served with spreads was store bought, and not good * Spreads were tiny servings and doused in oil, pine nuts overpowered flavor of babba ganoush. Could not tell which spread was hummus and which one was babba... feta spread was lackluster. * Olives were good, presentation was bad, just thrown onto a salad plate. * Lamb chops needed more salt, seasoning. * Same lame presentation and sauces with both chops and prawns. Is that even Mediterranean - arugula and a buerre blanc sauce. * Drink did not taste like a G&T, but was a pretty presentation. Service * No silverware or plates until after food arrived * Under dressed staff, dresses so short it made us uncomfortable. unprofessional * No one checked on us during meal Decor bizarre, confused, dark, medieval and luxury mixed with a side of palm tree?! What is happening here? read more

Iv been wanting to try Phoenicia out for a while now and finally made the drive up here. Absolutely worth it! The food, drinks and total ambience is spectacular! Everything was amazing!

I will be coming back to try everything on the menu soon. read more

This is my favorite place, hands down. The food is amazing. I seriously have never had anything bad from the menu. I used to come here all the time when I lived on Alki, and even years later the ladies still remember my order even though my visits are few and far between. My favorite is the trio of spreads and the saffron chicken. Make sure to ask for some extra pita! read more

The service and the ambiance were very good. The food was barely adequate considering the prices. The only small plate that I can recommend were the lamb lollipops. The grilled eggplant was cold and greasy. My party enjoyed the gnocchi and the saffron fettuccine but they were cold when they reached the table. The Arnold Palmer was bitter and undrinkable. There are so many restaurants in this area to choose from. Oops forgot the worst chocolate hazelnut cheesecake. Dry tasted burnt. read more
