    Trio of Spreads Plate
    Yash K.

    I had a really good experience at Phoenecia. We went at happy hour and it was amazing! The owners and servers were very friendly. The decor is very nice with lots of chandeliers. We got the trio of spreads, the bread, hummus, labneh were all delicious. We also got the phoenician pizza and ended the meal with Turkish Affogato which is only $6. The turkish coffee on vanilla bean ice cream was just the perfect way to end the meal. Definitely recommend checking them out. I will definitely be going again!

    Sept 2024 Beet and arugula salad

    We celebrated my sister's belated birthday here on Thursday Sept 26th and it was the perfect choice! Being 50 years in the business, this family run spot was very lively on a weekday. We had a wonderful time perusing over the Lebanese inspired menu. Our server Joe, and sommelier helped us navigate through the 17 bottles of red on the imported menu. During the entire evening, he was entertaining with his friendly banter. He hadn't sampled this bottle so we shared a small glass with him, which he gratefully accepted. The beet and arugula salad $14 was tasty as it was colorful! My sister loved their "Taste of Beirut" $9. Moist seasoned rice wrapped in grape leaves, Mm,mm good. The star of the night for me was the garlic buttered grilled lamb chops $44. Tender, succulent and seasoned just right! While the lamb was awesome, the green beans and whipped potatoes were underwhelming in comparison. For dessert Joe even presented my sister with Turkish Affogato. The ice cream slowly melted as we poured the hot coffee over the sweet scoop of dairy. It was a rich, creamy way to end a birthday dinner! I would definitely visit again when in West Seattle!

    Terrific experience. The waitstaff was engaging and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is lovely with many little nooks for a quiet conversation . We ordered a slew of starters and really enjoyed everything. The server was very accommodating and brought us a side table to hold the excess which didn't fit on our table! It was a definite highlight to sop up the sauce of the 38 spices with crusts of the flatbread!

    Came here for the first time as the food on the menu looked amazing. It did not disappoint. What added to the wonderful experience were the two sisters, Nadia and Sonya, and our waiter, Jeffrey. First, the highlights of the meal. The cocktails that we imbibed were Pretty in Pink and Take Me to the Beach. The visuals were amazing only to be followed by the taste of our cocktails. The trio of spreads and the cauliflower appetizer were to die for. Now for the great but some hmmms. For dinner we ordered the butternut squash risotto with goat cheese and the roasted mushroom risotto. While we loved both, the squash risotto really should have been named, goat cheese risotto topped with butternut squash. My own perception but I picture chunks or slivers of roasted butternut squash within the risotto, not simply a few pieces put on top. While this risotto was good, it was rather overpowered by the goat cheese. Followed by, wouldn't order again. The baklava. The flavor was okay, but it was dry. While one doesn't want their baklava swimming in honey, this definitely needed more of something. Also, while the ice cream had a lovely color, I felt like I was eating rose petals right from the garden. I don't know what was used, rose oil? Way too overpowering. Would I go again? Absolutely, not only for more of the same and different appetizers, but the ambiance and the genuine friendliness and caring about Phoenicia.

    Baklava with rose ice cream
    Rekha M.

    We arrived without a reservation, and were seated at the bar right away. Our server was attentive and resourceful. The food was fantastic, filling, and reasonably healthy. The baklava was a little bit dry but it paired well with the rose ice cream.

    Amazing flavors and great service. The cocktails are always great and I recommend the lamb lollipops, saffron chicken, and mushroom gnocchi.

    Jewel of the sea

    Such amazing food we've been here now three times. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu I especially love jewel of the sea and the saffron chicken. The service can be a bit on the slower side, but everyone who works. There is so kind and helpful. The ambience is great for a date night because it's a bit of a dimmer or intimate space. I've seen kids at this restaurant, but they don't have a kids menu.

    Ask to sit in Joe L.'s section!  (He's in the center)

    Absolutely delicious cuisine here, and the flavor combinations are so satisfying! And the chandeliers! Excellent service from friendly, adorable Joe L., whether he's waiting tables or bartending. We always sit in his section. Owner/operator Lisa must be a descendant of Cher; it's uncanny the resemblance!

    Saffron Chicken Linguini

    I'm admittedly not a huge fan of Mediterranean food. Mostly because I don't like the olives! But this place is amazing! Minus the olives, the food was delicious! I would definitely go back, and I highly recommend it.

    Lamb Lollipops the sauce was soo good that we soaked up all of the sauce with pita bread.
    Adeline A.

    My friends brought me here for dinner and OH MY GOODNESS!!! The food is fantastic (see photos of menu and dishes). It's Lebanese but has an Italian twist - very Mediterranean. Locally owned by two sweet sisters (I met them both tonight because they were working here) with fantastic servers. I are so much: mushroom gnocchi, prawns, lamb lollipops and roasted cauliflower finished with rose ice cream and hazelnut chocolate layered cake and Turkish coffee! My friends and I had an amazing time in this gem of a restaurant.

    Sharissa L.

    This was probably one of the best dining experiences we've EVER had. We walked in on a whim and were lucky enough to be seated right away even without reservations (it was a weekday evening and there were 4 of us). The staff was so welcoming and friendly. Our server was super helpful. We really gave her full control for giving us recommendations for what to order and she REALLY delivered! Every single thing we ate and drank was sensational! Our server and even the bartender checked in with us regularly and really made us feel so well taken care of. The vibe of the restaurant was higher-end but still so cozy and warm. We were truly blown away by the food and service and would absolutely drive back out to West Seattle just to dine there again. I recommend this restaurant to everyone we know!

    My wife and I went tonight for Valentines Day. It was so good. It was only our second time there. We will be back. Everything was incredible. The lamb shank was fall off the bone. So good. My wife had the wild mushroom gnocchi with lamb sausage. It was incredible as well. The owners are so nice. They really make you feel welcome. We will be back soon

A little delicate but delicious. The salted brownie, also delicious. I didn't quite care for the lemon square since I have had better. Both the top/ filling and the bottom each had a weird flavor profile for me. Lastly the mocha cake was absolutely wonderful and tastes like coffee and was close to the real thing to me texture wise (perfectly spongy)... also 10/10. I'd order the eclair and mocha cake again and try something else next time.

They're going for healthy fast casual style counter service with an "ethic fusion" flair. Decent number of options including vegetarian, vegan, etc. It's not cheap but the servings are large: big enough for 2 meals for a lot of people.

They also seem to run out of ingredients pretty often. Overall it's ok for a quick lunch but not my favorite.

All the food was tasty and reasonably priced. The portions were quite good too. I was very impressed by the flavor despite the gluten free element - cliche but not everywhere that does gluten free does it well. This place does! They also had a unique canned drink selection too. Service - they were very patient and explained everything. They also were speedy and made some solid recommendations. Ambiance - there's a few areas to sit down, but not too many. I think it's more a grab and go spot based on the fast food style set up and packaging (which is all compostable!). It's also only open for lunch on weekdays so that makes sense for the working crowd. The little raised tables facing the window give a nice lighting and view though and the decor is modern and bright.

Potato skins and garlic rice were good too, though less garlic would have been better. Could easily make this into a garlic egg fried rice and larger portions. The staff were super attentive and took time to explain everything to first time visitors. Steady stream of take out orders as seating is limited. Would come back to try the other sides too. Happy to report no reaction for gluten free member of our family, top marks for safety.
