    Fried calamari
    Shelly D.

    The only restaurant nearby that's actually decent (+) service was great (+) very kids friendly, they offered coloring books for my toddlers so I get them off the iPads (+) food was amazing, and the only decent spot near there (+) had WiFi which I have to call out because that town has absolutely no service and we couldn't even figure out how to get back to our Airbnb without internet (+) loved their seafood pasta, didn't know it came with a whole half lobster , well worth the price (+) their kids meal was amazing too, ~15 you get a drink + ice cream when you leave

    Very beautiful spot near belleayre mountain. We enjoyed a lovely dinner. And the food was delicious. My drink was wonderful for a mocktail lol.

    Autumn Greetings

    You probably would not want to set foot in this place now if it still looked like it did in '01. I remember walking in back then and the air smelling like cigarettes (ewww), I think it had burgundy wall-to-wall carpeting, orangey color woods and bland food. Utter disgust. I even forgot what this place was called back then. Well, things have changed for the better at this steakhouse in the sticks in Phoenicia. You wouldn't have a hard time missing Phoenician at all because it's on Route 28- but slightly off to the side of the road. Its polished, light grey façade can't hurt either. The modernish design continues inside. Similar to a steakhouse style, Phoenician's got those looks too. Due to Phoenician's sheer size with a large bar area, a dining room to the right and one in the back- plus the menu variety on offer, this is rightfully regarded as a steak dinner (or seafood, Vegetarian) paradise. Our server Alfredo did not only do his job- but he was pleasant. Cocktails missed. But I'll stick to wine next time. Both our salads were wholesome- but our warm Tuna in a wonton 'bowl', wasn't raw so didn't appreciate at all the over-doneness. Hubs liked his medium 16oz NY Strip- and would've loved it even more if it had a dash of salt. My swordfish tasted delicious with a lemon-ginger sauce- but it was extremely thin and made me wonder if they had a swordfish steak and sliced it in 3. I wasn't a fan. I'd try something else next time. Phoenician left us with a stunned look on our faces- in a good way that is- especially with their new design upgrade. Plus hubs wants to return. If nothing else, this is one of those got-to-try-it-at-least-once restaurant. And if not, this is a return after return after return...

    Tomahawk and Fra diavolo
    Emilee Y.

    Place is just ok. Stopped by while skiing at Hunter mountain to grab some seafood and steak. Steak was very tendon-y, chewy, and just not flavorful. The Seafood Fra Diavolo was a solid choice. Came with a generous portion of seafood and would probably recommend. Very overpriced but expected given the menu and the limited options in the area but probably would've been satisfied with some McDonald's had I know everything would be sub-par

    Large restaurant with high ceilings fairly modern decor very friendly service. Great espresso martini the clams were delicious. The steak was as good as anything you would find in New York City even the crème brûlée was good and the wines were tasty definitely one of the best in the area.

    Service was friendly and quick. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection! My son thoroughly enjoyed the Fra Diavolo. Absolutely a perfect way to spend Father's Day weekend!

    Creamy, spicy penne dish on specials menu

    You know, Phoenicia is a small town. It's beautiful there. Who knew I would have a pretty exceptional dinner up there. I came the Phoenician and enjoyed dinner at the bar on my stay in that area. It was just three minutes away. The bartender was very friendly, and I met a regular, keeping the conversation flowing. And then to food started coming... I ordered two things, first was the equivalent of fried mozzarella, 'Panko Crusted Morzzarella'. They took this big hunk of mozz, and fried it in panko, to perfection. It was the right temperature, and just the right amount of seasoning...drizzled with a balsamic glaze. This say on a warm salad of some garden green like arugula, with several marinated plum tomatoes. It tasted like they were marinated in balsamic. (Important context, I believe balsamic and tomatoes/mozzarella shouldn't go together 90% of the time). Bringing these components together in this way, was quite delicious, and perfectly executed. It wasn't too overwhelming of a balsamic flavor, and yet the tomato and mozzarella were allowed to shine through. The cream, spicy penne with grilled chicken was also amazing. It was such a well-executed cream sauce, with just the right amount of spice, seasoning, and heat. It was hot the whole way through, and I found myself almost licking the dish (had I not been in the presence of a lady). It was an amazing food experience from start to finish and I will strive to go back (despite a 2.5 hour drive).

    Two tomahawks later... I can't believe I didn't write this review when we came last year! We were looking for a restaurant between Albany and Binghamton yet south and close to us. Did we get lucky. The food was great, we had the crab meat stuffed shrimp, stuffed veal chop and two toms. The atmosphere was perfect for celebrating a birthday. Afterward we said this will be our annual birthday spot and so we'll be back in two months. The service was spotty at first but overall very efficient and pleasant.

While a few OG, meat-and-potatoes restaurants still linger along backroads near us, hubs and I- now permanent residents in the Catskills since '24, have noticed how much the surrounding towns have evolved. And the spots that have been popping up are those that have a chic/boho/chichi/slash this/slash that style. Foxfire, was a nice surprise: a stylish, modern-farmhouse getup serving a simple menu that works no matter what eating lifestyle you follow. Foxfire felt incredibly cozy and inviting when we came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a new beginning soon. I mean...this is the kind of place you want to linger a little longer. Our server was pleasant and took his time answering my questions about whether certain dishes had mustard, mustard seed, mustard powder or Dijon. The Japanese Caesar salad sounded great on paper, but something told me to ask. Since mustard is usually part of a Caesar dressing and theirs didn't list it on the menu, I figured it was worth double-checking. Sure enough when I asked, it called for it. Next. We started with olives and creamy- but offbeat crab cakes. The cocktails looked great on paper but missed on strength. When both the starter and the drinks strike out, you get ready for a 3rd. Thankfully, the main plates kind of saved the night. Hubs liked his deconstructed "Farmhouse Chicken," sliced in 3 pieces ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and my Branzino was delicious. Service was solid though, but let's talk pricing: $18 cocktails with zero punch and a $40+ Branzino portion that was kind of small....hmmm. Don't expect the drinks or portions to keep up with the price tag.

I had to send it back just to get it warmed. Then came their famous chocolate ganache balls we love with strawberry coulis.
